“Little Long, you sure know how to take advantage of a situation,” Chu Tingting sneered at Huang Xiaolong. If she was the godmother and he was the godfather, wouldn’t they essentially be a couple?
However, when Tingting thought of the time Xiaolong had helped her drive away the ghost, she couldn’t help but tell him. “Little Long, you deserve a nice meal. That night after you sent Lingling away, the room was instantly cleaned, ears were free from all those strange voices, I felt energetic and my mood lightened… Thank you for helping me out for free~!”
“Beautiful teacher, please, we’re buddies,” Huang Xiaolong replied carelessly.
“Little Long, fat chance!” Chu Tingting laughed, her expression suddenly turning solemn. “I truly hope that Lingling will have a better life in her next life.”
“Beautiful teacher, don’t worry about it. I’ll handle this matter well.” Huang Xiaolong answered earnestly. “I’ve found the best place for Lingling…”
“Yeah right, as if I would believe you.” Chu Tingting giggled again.
She wasn’t sure why, but when she was with Huang Xiaolong, she didn’t have the usual defensiveness she typically had towards men, she felt relaxed, comfortable, and entirely stress-free.
Soon, their order arrived at the table.
Chu Tingting’s fish dinner looked delightful, its seasoning was top-notch and it seemed to be a true delicacy. Huang Xiaolong’s sirloin steak was a premium cut of meat; cooked to perfection. The mouthwatering smell filled the air and as they tasted it, the tender texture made it an exceptional experience…
Although they didn’t order wine, the romantic atmosphere of the Western restaurant accompanied by the delicious food led them both to develop a subtle fondness for one another.
In Huang Xiaolong’s eyes, Chu Tingting was different from Song Yuru and other girls in Binhai. It wasn’t just her age, she was more mature. As a college professor, she radiated an intellectual beauty – this made Chu Tingting extremely attractive to Huang Xiaolong.
While they were eating, Chu Tingting suddenly felt embarrassed. “Little Long… there’s a reason why I invited you here today… I wanted to… I wanted to ask you for a favor…”
“Oh, beautiful teacher, have you encountered another unpurified spirit?” Huang Xiaolong asked, euphemistically, as he savored his steak.
“No…actually, Little Long, I’ll be straightforward. Can you pretend to be my boyfriend?” Chu Tingting asked, her face flushing.
“Ahem” Huang Xiaolong choked on his words, looking at Chu Tingting in confusion, “Beautiful teacher…are…are you in love with me? So the dinner you planned is about confessing your feelings?”
“No…I don’t mean that!” Chu Tingting’s face turned red. She explained hastily, “Little Long, my intention is to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend…because after dinner tonight, I’ll be attending…attending a school reunion…”
“School reunion?” Huang Xiaolong widened his eyes. “Beautiful teacher…you…you’re so fashionable… you…you are going to attend a school reunion… I heard that a lot of scandals often happen in school reunions.”
“Who told you that?” Chu Tingting gave Huang Xiaolong a stern look, then she explained, “Actually, it seems to be true. Usually, I don’t like attending reunions, but my college classmates and good friends have been calling me incessantly since last month. I had no choice but to agree.
“Now there’s a problem…In college, some of my male classmates wanted to…wanted to court me…I never agreed to any of them…They were all very persistent, but after graduating, I started teaching at Binhai University and gradually got rid of their pestering, or rather, their harassment. This reunion though…I heard that those guys who tried to court me will attend…I am told someone plans to confess to me there…Little Long, isn’t this troublesome?” Chu Tingting looked worried.
“Hmm hmm, beautiful teacher, go on?” Huang Xiaolong said, even though he had already pretty much figured out the situation.
There really is no such thing as a free lunch.
‘I knew it, why on earth would beautiful teacher invite me to such a fancy Western dinner…Turns out, she wanted me to pretend to be her boyfriend…’
“Then…” Chu Tingting blushed, “Then…I would like to ask you, Little Long, to pretend to be my boyfriend …Because the reunion allows attendees to bring their partners. If they see I already have a boyfriend, those troublesome guys will stop bothering me. Little Long, could you do me a favor?”
“Beautiful teacher, why don’t you find another man to pretend to be your boyfriend? I’m just a simple farmer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to play the part well.” Huang Xiaolong laughed.
“Little Long, to be honest, I don’t trust other men,” Chu Tingting said with a hint of helplessness.
Since she started teaching at Binhai University, Chu Tingting had attracted more suitors than when she was in college.
All sorts of people.
Like Wang Jinrong, the son of the vice-president that Huang Xiaolong had confronted before.
Besides the men openly pursuing Chu Tingting, there were others who were secretly interested in her. From their looks and demeanor, she could tell they nurtured lewd and greedy thoughts…
How could Chu Tingting ask those men for help? Wouldn’t that be digging her own grave?
After comparing them, Huang Xiaolong was actually the most suitable candidate.
Nothing inappropriate happened the last time they were alone together. If it were any other man, they might have tried to make a move! Thinking it would be worth it, even if only for a short while!
“Oh…” Huang Xiaolong nodded, looking seriously at Chu Tingting. “Teacher, I can help you. However, you have to promise me ”
“Little Long, what…what do you want me to promise you?” Chu Tingting felt a pang of worry. She was afraid Huang Xiaolong would make some inappropriate requests, such as booking a room.
“Beautiful teacher, tonight I can pretend to be your boyfriend and fend off those guys who are interested in you, but in return, you have to promise me that you’ll treat me to dinner ten times! And we’ll go to the movies ten times!”
Huang Xiaolong thus made a reach.
Pretend to be a boyfriend?
Ha ha, he’s done this before!
Didn’t he pretend to be Song Yuru’s boyfriend too at one time?
