Chapter 66.1: Even if there are stars in the sky, he probably wants to take them off and hold them in front of her.

Almost instantly, Bai DuanDuan released Ji Lin after the surprise attack.

As the instigator, Bai DuanDuan was even more nervous than Ji Lin. After releasing him, she lowered her head, while Ji Lin stared at her with wide eyes, as if he hadn’t fully processed what had just happened.

Now it was Ji Lin’s turn to question. “Bai DuanDuan, what do you mean by this?”

With things coming to a head, Bai DuanDuan felt like she couldn’t bury her head in the sand any longer. She looked at Ji Lin and said, “What does it mean when you kiss me? When I kiss you, it means the same thing.”

“I kissed you because I like you,” Ji Lin coughed lightly, shifting his gaze away. “So I lost control and kissed you, but you…”

“I like you too.”

Bai Duanduan’s eyes shone brightly as she stared at Ji Lin. “I want to eat the food you make for the rest of my life.”

He gently held the back of her head, then kissed her tenderly and delicately, as if exploring and depicting every sensation of her tongue.

Just one kiss made Bai Duan Duan dizzy and her face hot, and her heart pounded.

When Ji Lin let go of her, her entire face was red and burning.

But Ji Lin, with a mischievous heart, wanted to poke fun at her, “Your face is so red, are you shy?”

Bai Duan Duan was almost furious, but she didn’t want to admit to being shy. She felt like if she admitted it, she would be admitting weakness. So she retorted, “I’m not shy, it’s just because you suddenly kissed me. Did I say you could kiss me?”

Ji Lin laughed, “Didn’t you say it? If you think someone is cute, you can kiss them?”

Damn it! He used her own argument against her! She had just said something so wrong, and now he used it right back at her!

But, why did it sound a little bit charming? Was it because she was still cute in Ji Lin’s eyes, no matter what?

Ji Lin, as if afraid he was dreaming or afraid that Bai Duan Duan would run away, had been holding her hand firmly since she had kissed him. “Now that we’ve kissed, we should be responsible for each other, right?”

This man was mature and charming, but he could also be childish and innocent, making it impossible for people to resist him. In the world of adults, kissing someone might not even require any responsibility, let alone sleeping with them. However, in Ji Lin’s world view, kissing was like a contract, and he would take it seriously and anxiously hope that the other person would also take it seriously.

This man had never been in love before, and had no emotional experience, had he?

Out of nowhere, Bai Duan Duan felt a bit mischievous and asked, “I can be responsible for you, but you have to tell me first, who was your first love? Last time you claimed you had a first love too, right? Since we’re together now, disclosing our past relationships is also an important part.”

Ji Lin’s face did show a hint of discomfort and evasion: “It’s all in the past, I’ve forgotten about it, can we not talk about it?”

“No,” Bai Duan Duan was determined to be cunning, “Honesty is a prerequisite for lovers. We’ve just established our relationship. Are you going to lie to me? How can I trust you in the future?”

“…”

This sentence made Ji Lin, who was usually eloquent, unable to speak. He was silent for a long time before finally making a brave decision.

“I lied to you.”

Bai Duan Duan was about to burst out laughing in her heart, but she still showed a surprised expression on her face, “What? What did you lie to me about?”

Ji Lin had probably made up his mind. He looked at Bai Duan Duan with a “let’s just do it” look in his eyes and calmly said, “I don’t have an ex.”

Then he stared at Bai Duan Duan. Although his face was calm, his ears were slightly red, “I only had one first love.”

Bai Duan Duan deliberately asked, “So you only had one first love and no exes? What does that mean? You’re still in a relationship with your first love? Ji Lin, I really misjudged you for trying to have it both ways!”

“I just fell in love for the first time,” Ji Lin was pushed to the brink, “with you.” He finished, giving Bai Duanduan a fierce glance, finally realizing that it was intentional on her part. “Are you satisfied now?”

Bai DuanDuan almost wanted to laugh out loud, but she kept her composure and nodded calmly like Ji Lin had done before, “Are you satisfied then? So, I am your first love?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Then, when you kissed me that day, was it your first kiss?”

“Mm-hmm.”

After answering, Ji Lin felt embarrassed, but he also felt a sense of relief in being honest, “I’ve never been in a relationship before. If there’s anything about me that’s not good, just tell me, and I’ll change.” After thinking for a moment, he couldn’t help but attack Lin Hui with his words, “After all, Lin Hui is old, and it’s hard for him to improve his learning ability, but I’m still young.”

Bai DuanDuan was speechless, “I’ve already said that Lin Hui is not my ex-boyfriend anymore. We don’t have any other relationship. You don’t have to cue him anymore.”

Ji Lin pursed his lips, “He was your rumored ex-boyfriend for so long, so I’ve decided to dislike him.”

Bai DuanDuan really didn’t expect Ji Lin to be so jealous.

“But who spread the rumor that I was Lin Hui’s ex-girlfriend? Where did this unfounded rumor come from? Don’t you usually analyze cases and situations so well? Why can’t you think calmly about this matter? Is the way I interacted with Lin Hui a love relationship? Before, when we worked together in ZhaoHui, I was sent to B city to expand the market shortly after. Would anyone in love send their girlfriend to another city for a long-distance relationship? Moreover, we hardly ever contacted or met each other. Does anyone in a relationship behave like this?”

“Rong Sheng said it,” Ji Lin didn’t hesitate to throw Rong Sheng under the bus, “When I first met you, he told me that you had dated Lin Hui. At that time, I didn’t know you well, so I believed Rong Sheng.”

“Long distance relationships are not uncommon after all. Many people want both a successful career and love, and they don’t want to sacrifice one for the other. Besides, there’s a poem that says: ‘If love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it be limited to the hours of each day?’ B city and A city are not far away, who knows if you guys meet every weekend and it’s even better than being with someone new. As for your less frequent contact, who knows if it’s because your love is so deep that you don’t care about these formalities?”

Ji Lin paused, then awkwardly said, “If it’s about a case, I’ll naturally stay calm. But when it involves you, it’s not easy for me to stay calm.”

This man, when he’s not calm, is even more attractive than when he is.

“But if we’re in a relationship, it shouldn’t be like this,” Bai Duan tilted his head, “When you like someone, shouldn’t you want to be with them every day? For example, I want to see you every day. If you station me outside of town, then I would have to break up with you. In a relationship, I might not be as sensible as you think. I might be the type that clings to you. If you can’t handle it…”

“I can handle it.” Ji Lin quickly interrupted Bai Duan, his gaze shifting uneasily. “I like clingy people.”

Although the two of them didn’t say anything overly straightforward or cheesy, with their back-and-forth banter, Bai DuanDuan still felt that it was even more cloying than typical lovey-dovey talk, and upon careful reflection, it made her feel a bit embarrassed…

However, having just exposed Ji Lin’s first love story, he also became curious about Bai Duanduan. He looked at her and asked, “Oh, but if Lin Hui wasn’t your ex-boyfriend, then who is?”

Despite being deeply concerned, the man in front of her was pretending to be nonchalant, saying, “You said we should disclose our past relationships to each other, but I don’t have anything to disclose. It’s your turn now.”

“My ex-boyfriend…” Bai Duan Duan drawled out her words. “If you don’t perform well, you might earn the title of my ex-boyfriend.”

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to react. His voice trembled slightly as he confirmed, “Your first love? Me?”

Bai Duan Duan nodded. “Yes, that’s right. I suggest you give Lin Hui a banner or write a thank you letter. If he hadn’t sent me to the unfamiliar city of B and opened a branch office, keeping me busy to the point where I didn’t have time to date, I wouldn’t have ended up being taken advantage of by the boss of my new law firm…”

Ji Lin’s face turned slightly red, and he instinctively retorted, “What do you mean by being taken advantage of?”

“Now that I think about it, you were quite suspicious before, Ji Lin. Suddenly being so generous to me, giving me a raise and buying me a phone. You spent 500,000 yuan in just two hours. Wasn’t it an attempt to use money to deceive me and then secretly take advantage of me? But don’t you think that’s too old-fashioned and subtle?”
