Chapter 107.2: Are They a Couple? (2)



After he entered the car and fastened his seatbelt, he suddenly heard Ji Fanyin say, “You need to keep both your hands on the steering wheel at all times while driving. Otherwise, you might get into an accident.”

“Hm?” Chen Yunsheng looked at her in confusion.

I haven’t even revved up the engine yet.

Ji Fanyin looked at him with a smile. “Didn’t you just look at my hand?”

Chen Yunsheng didn’t even realize that he had done that. He immediately understood what she meant with her earlier reminder, and it made his face burn up.

“I was just thinking, you have gotten more mature, but you’re still as innocent as I remember,” Ji Fanyin teased.

Chen Yunsheng took a moment to calm himself before earnestly asking, “Does it mean that I can hold your hand when I’m not driving?”

Ji Fanyin cocked her head ambiguously and returned the question to him, “What do you think?”

Chen Yunsheng honestly couldn’t figure out what she meant by that.

Just like how he had never been able to figure out what she was thinking. Just like how he didn’t dare believe that he would be able to meet her again. Just like how he was worried that he wouldn’t be able to win his bet against Shen Qi.

He had never been a match for Ji Fanyin.

Chen Yunsheng licked his dry lips and started driving the car out of the parking lot.

“If you have an ice cream shop to recommend, I’m guessing that you’re familiar with this district?” Ji Fanyin asked.

Chen Yunsheng glanced at her and replied, “Mmhm. I have been here for some time now.”

“And you only thought of contacting me now?” asked Ji Fanyin. “Are you currently working or are you still a student?”

“I’m interning. I sent my resume to your studio a while back, but I didn’t get a call for the interview. It’s probably because I have no relevant experience in the field.”

Ji Fanyin nodded. “Good. You aren’t suited to join my studio.”

Chen Yunsheng fell silent. Those words, reminiscent of a rejection, induced a wave of pessimism within him.

However, Ji Fanyin soon added, “A lot of my staff members believe that I’m showing special favor to you. If you join my studio as an intern, people might start saying that I’m an immoral boss who has no qualms about laying my hands on a suave young graduate.”

Then you should hurry up and lay your hands on me! Chen Yunsheng thought. He couldn’t resist the urge to glance at her once more.

“Watch the road,” Ji Fanyin suddenly said.

Guilty, Chen Yunsheng thought that he had been caught in the act and apologized right away, “… Sorry.”

Ji Fanyin burst into laughter. She patted his head and gently said, “You’re so easy to dupe.”

Chen Yunsheng: “… Big sis, you seem to be treating me differently from before.”

In the past, she always seemed much more restrained in terms of both physical and emotional distance. She would never easily grab my hand, lean her head on my chest, or pat my head so naturally.

“Yeah.” Ji Fanyin lightly tapped on the car window to indicate the world outside. “That’s because I’m in my world now.”

“Does that mean that there’s nothing holding you back now?” Chen Yunsheng decided to dive straight into the question. “Big sis, are you still against dating like you used to be?”

Ji Fanyin raised her head and pondered for a moment.

Those few seconds felt as long as eternity to Chen Yunsheng. Time suddenly became so unbearably slow that he thought that this moment would be prolonged till the end of time.

Then, Ji Fanyin said with a chuckle, “I’m fine with dating now.”

Chen Yunsheng nearly stepped down on the brakes in the middle of the road. He bit on his lips in hopes of suppressing that emerging smile, but it was all in vain. Nothing could stop the lips from inching upward. “Then…”

“Is that the shop you were talking about?” Ji Fanyin suddenly pointed out of the window and asked.

Chen Yunsheng realized that he had nearly driven down the wrong path, so he quickly steered the car accordingly.

“Such topics are forbidden from now onward while you’re driving.” Ji Fanyin crossed her two forefingers into a ‘X’. “You’ll get distracted.”

Chen Yunsheng couldn’t refute those words. He pressed his lip tightly together as he made another right turn. He soon found a parking spot near the ice cream shop and stopped the car.
