It took more than an hour for the four people to finish their lunch. Jason did not stop talking until the meal ended. Lu Jia’er and Jin Xiangdong were not talkative but occasionally they spoke, with a very good effect. Su Han was extroverted, and she instantly became close with everyone. So most of the time the duo talked just like a two-person comic talk show.
The four walked out of the restaurant and Su Han said to Lu Jia’er by her side, “Jia’er, I have something to do in the afternoon. Can I borrow your car!”
Lu Jia’er glanced at Su Han and heard her inner overlapping sound: I will create an opportunity for you, allowing Jin Xiangdong to send you home. Su Han had proven herself to be a writer. Although she did not have much experience in love, she had many methods.
“Where will you go? I will send you there!” said Lu Jia’er. She also wanted to spend more time with Jin Xiangdong, but tried to avoid being too obvious.
“I’m going to meet an editor of a publishing house. The place where we will meet is half an hour’s drive from here. I wouldn’t want to take up too much of your time!” When Su Han said this, she gave another overlapping sound: stop being reserved!
Given the condition, Lu Jia’er stopped pretending and generously handed the car keys to her. “Please help me refuel the car when you pass a gas station!”
“OK, thank you! Prince Charming Jin and Jason, I will leave first!” Su Han said goodbye to everyone.
After Su Han had gone, Jason also sensibly left, leaving Lu Jia’er alone standing next to Jin Xiangdong. The tall and handsome gentleman attracted the attention of a lot of passers-by. In order to avoid being surrounded and watched, the two went to the parking lot.
After getting into the car, Lu Jia’er said first, “Are you free this afternoon?”
“Yes!” Jin Xiangdong turned around and looked at her.
“Let’s go and see a film, shall we?” Lu Jia’er generously proposed.
“Are you sending me an invitation to a date?” Jin Xiangdong slightly curled his lips, and blinked his eyes.
“Do you accept the invitation?” Lu Jia’er glanced at him with a smile.
“My appearance fee is very high!” Jin Xiangdong replied.
The two had implicitly regarded each other with affection, but Lu Jia’er’s means of flirting was still slightly inferior to that of Jin Xiangdong. However, speechlessness had become a habit and a delight when they got together.
“Your appearance fee will be paid with my name’s patent fee.” Lu Jia’er replied.
“Do you mean the patent fee in the name of Erer?” Jin Xiangdong asked pretending that he had known nothing.
“It is essentially an infringement, for the sake of our friendship, I will give you a chance to make amends for your fault!” Lu Jia’er said.
“Is inviting you to watch a film deemed as an amendment?” Jin Xiangdong asked.
“Yeah!” Lu Jia’er nodded.
“Professor Lu, you have underestimated the value of the patent?” Jin Xiangdong slightly curled his lips.
“Money will come and go. The element of happiness that will be generated by watching a film with you, can last for a long time in my heart. I believe it is worthwhile!” Lu Jia’er gently shook her head as she replied.
“In that case, besides watching a film, I have a surprise for you!” Jin Xiangdong beamed with greater delight.
“Surprise?” Lu Jia’er’s eyes were full of curiosity.
Jin Xiangdong smiled, slowly reached out his big beautiful hand with slender fingers, and gently held Lu Jia’er’s hand.
Lu Jia’er had shaken hands with Jin Xiangdong several times previously. She knew that his hands were very warm and slender, but those were handshakes, business etiquette. At this moment, it had a different meaning. Such physical contact was the first step forward in relationships for many couples.
