Addicted to My Cutie and Sweetie-Chapter 1003: I Wish You Would Keep Me Too

Lu Jing’s face instantly turned gloomy, and as Zhang Lingying was about to reach for her phone, he picked it up before she could.

He didn’t hang up for her; instead, he held the phone and asked restrainedly, "Do you really like him that much?"

Zhang Lingying was stunned by his question, "You mean Leng Jian?"

"..."

"What kind of like are you talking about?"

Vaguely sensing his misunderstanding, Zhang Lingying didn’t immediately say she liked him and questioned seriously.

But in Lu Jing’s eyes, her failure to deny it instantly was tantamount to admission.

His grip on the phone silently tightened.

The call, unanswered for a long time, had already disconnected.

Seeing his expression sour, Zhang Lingying dared not snatch it forcefully and tried to reason with him.

"Lu Jing, Leng Jian is really good to me, like a brother. Besides, we work in the same lab; he could be calling about work, not necessarily personal matters. Please give me back my phone."

Zhang Lingying reached to take her phone, and Lu Jing did not stop her.

But just as she got it, he asked, "So are you going to give up Little Mirror for him?"

Zhang Lingying was taken aback, "Who said I’m giving up Little Mirror?"

That’s her cat!

Though she hadn’t initially planned to have a pet, meeting Little Mirror was their fate.

Lu Jing: "You just asked me to take Little Mirror away."

Zhang Lingying couldn’t bother to return Leng Jian’s call and said directly, "I saw how much you liked Little Mirror, so I reluctantly agreed to let you take care of him for a few days. Once you’re well, you must return him to me!"

"..."

This time, it was Lu Jing who was truly surprised.

Hearing that she hadn’t planned to abandon Little Mirror, the heavy stone weighing on his chest seemed to vanish instantly.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, "What about me?"

Zhang Lingying: "..."

They were nicely talking about a cat; why did he suddenly relate it to humans?

"You’re a grown person; you don’t need me to take care of you." Zhang Lingying spoke reasonably.

Lu Jing: "..."

Her expression was so serious that Lu Jing couldn’t tell if she genuinely didn’t understand his hint or was deliberately avoiding it.

Zhang Lingying avoided his gaze, refusing to think about the kiss just now.

Seeing Lu Jing silent, she pulled out a chair and sat down.

With her head down, she mumbled to herself.

"I’ve never been in a relationship and don’t know what it feels like to like someone. I’m not sure whether I like you or not..."

She had promised Leng Jian that unless she was sure of her feelings, she shouldn’t rashly enter into a relationship.

Lu Jing had kissed her suddenly, and she couldn’t quite tell if he was deliberately provoking her out of spite.

Furthermore, she had never been this close to anyone; her first instinct was to punch him, but she thought about it and realized she might not win.

Lu Jing would likely not stand still for her to hit, so she decided against it.

And then...

She suddenly felt at a loss.

She was a grown woman being flustered by a kiss, which seemed quite embarrassing to say.

Before she could figure out how to respond, she had instinctively avoided the issue.

Pretended as if nothing happened.

Just eating and drinking as long as Lu Jing didn’t linger in front of her; she could act as if nothing had occurred.

That way, she wouldn’t have to consider her feelings toward Lu Jing.

Only...

"From now on, without my permission, you can’t kiss me casually anymore!"
