53.1 - The Panda Cub Bows For Love

Chapter 53: Jealousy He Xing was at a loss, the sensation on her lips and the slight itchiness from the whiskers brushing against her face were all declaring what this little guy in front of her had been up to while she was asleep. But why did he kiss her himself? And this kiss... He Xing felt the sensation on her lips, and suddenly burst into a light laugh. How could someone use their real body to kiss someone else! She felt the touch on her lips and couldn't help but chuckle abruptly. Why would someone use their actual form to kiss someone! But she couldn't help but feel amused despite her despair. The guy in her arms seemed drunk and clueless, not noticing she was awake. He even extended his soft tongue and licked her lips, leaving a slightly wet sensation. He Xing remained still, wanting to see what he was up to. But she felt the little one licking and nibbling on her lips as if enjoying a delicious treat. Even his stupid hair looked more spirited, emitting satisfied hums. He Xing: "…" Suddenly, she imagined herself as a tender, leafy cabbage, and how one day an unsteady piglet approached her grunting and gnawed on her, leaving a few bite marks! She was almost making herself laugh with these whimsical thoughts, but the scene in front of her really felt like he was nuzzling her, haha! But just as she was leisurely waiting for him to finish kissing, Jingdan suddenly lifted his head and seemed a bit dizzy. He then shook his head as if dizzy and crawled under the blanket, lying on He Xing's stomach to sleep. He Xing: "… Is that it?" She widened her eyes, incredulously staring at the ceiling in the dark. He just fell asleep after kissing her? Shouldn't he at least offer an explanation? She was both angry and amused, but the little one on her stomach was already sleeping comfortably, completely oblivious to her turmoil. She sighed deeply, unable to understand why this little guy suddenly kissed her. Was it because he liked her? But judging from his usual behavior, it didn't seem like it. Closing her eyes, she thought about asking him tomorrow what was going on, why he kissed her sneakily. But before she could drift off to sleep, she suddenly felt a weight on her body, and a tall, slender woman was directly pressing down on her… He Xing: "…" She looked down indifferently, seeing Jingdan burying her head in her neck. She then turned her gaze away, getting lost in her thoughts. Although she might not be able to uncover Jingdan the next day due to the situation, she still discovered something comforting. Jingdan did not resist these kisses. Previously, when Jingdan asked her those questions, she thought she might not like such acts. However, seeing him sneakily kissing her just now, if they were to be together in the future, they might not have to adhere to platonic ideals. She sighed deeply, feeling like she was almost out of breath with the events of tonight. Early the next morning, still with someone lying on her, He Xing saw Jingdan sleeping soundly and couldn't bear to wake her up, so she closed her eyes and stayed with her. Some time passed, and He Xing suddenly heard the doorbell ringing. "Ugh—" Jingdan seemed a bit annoyed, rubbing against her neck. The doorbell kept ringing, and Jingdan grew increasingly unhappy. Helpless, He Xing carefully moved her away from herself, covered her with a blanket, put on a coat, and hurried to open the door, afraid that the doorbell would wake Jingdan up. As the door opened, familiar cameras, familiar crew members were revealed. He Xing: "…" Her expression was somewhat indifferent as she looked at the crew members holding up phones, knowing that Fuzi must be up to something again. "Teacher He." The director tried to sound pleasing. "The crew is doing a live broadcast, and they hope Teacher He can cooperate." He Xing massaged her temples. After a previous lesson, she should have been more vigilant. But she got distracted last night by Jingdan and forgot about it! However, there was already a buzz online due to He Xing's appearance. ---Ah, my favorite couple lives together! ---Yes! Look, Teacher He is even in pajamas! ---Oh my gosh, are they really together?! ---And why is nobody from the crew surprised to see Teacher He here? No matter how they speculated, He Xing was now just having a headache, thinking about the person in her room, which added to her headache. She had hoped to at least talk to Jingdan about last night’s sneaky kiss without revealing his identity. But the crew's sudden visit messed up her plans. "Teacher He, where is General Jing?" the director asked cautiously. He Xing glanced at her coldly and said, "General Jing is still sleeping!" Director: "…" For some reason, she felt a sense of hostility in that look. ---Haha, look at the fierce look Teacher He just gave! ---I suspect the crew arrived too early and disturbed them! ---Oh, is Teacher He now angry because she's frustrated! On the other end of the phone, Fuzi, seeing He Xing's expression, along with the provocative comments from netizens, was close to bursting into laughter. Her source of joy was definitely these two! He Xing ran her fingers through her hair, gave the director a glance, then turned and walked back into the bedroom, closing the door behind her. Director: "…" Totally intimidated. As the crew members stood rooted to the spot, netizens exploded with chatter once again. ---Did I see correctly? There seems to be someone lying on the bed in there?! ---Yeah, I saw it too! ---Ah, put He Chun and Jingming together on the screen! ---Wait, hold on, what if Teacher He entered General Jing's room to wake her up? ---…If you don't speak, no one treats you as a mute. In the bedroom, He Xing looked at Jingdan still peacefully asleep in bed, thinking that with all the alcohol she consumed last night, she probably wouldn't wake up quickly. She freshened up, changed clothes, and prepared to leave without rushing to make breakfast. In the kitchen, she moved with ease, transcending a sense of serenity. ---Unaware, they might think she's arranging flowers! ---Truly aesthetic cooking! After finishing most of the breakfast, she entered the bedroom again and saw Jingdan, who was now awake and looking somewhat bewildered, causing He Xing to pause for a moment. Did she remember last night? Jingdan turned to look at He Xing, blinked, still wearing a bewildered expression. He Xing: "… Don’t tell me you made yourself foolish with alcohol!" "Feeling better?" He Xing sat by the bed and asked gently, reaching out to massage her temples. Jingdan looked at her in a daze, trying to recall the chaotic scenes of last night, making it difficult for her to differentiate between reality and vague memories. Seeing her like this, He Xing slightly narrowed her eyes. "Do you remember what happened last night?" Dumbfounded, Jingdan shook her head, feeling a headache. The scenes in her mind quickly passed by, almost unable to recognize what they were, leaving her feeling quite confused now. Seeing her shake her head, He Xing had no words to describe her current feelings. She smiled bitterly, but seeing her bewildered expression, she couldn't bring herself to press for answers. Remembering how comfortable the person had been sleeping on her stomach last night and reverting to his true form, He Xing couldn't help but laugh at his persistence. How much did this person want to keep her in the dark? Helplessly, she had no way to approach this. "Wake up? The crew is waiting outside," He Xing said. "Oh," Jingdan still seemed a bit dazed. Seeing her like this, He Xing had to wonder if she could even wash and get dressed by herself. She followed her to the bathroom, making sure she completed her routines properly before leaving. Taking her time to tidy herself up, Jingdan finally emerged and found a group of people in the living room. They straightened up as soon as they saw her, trying to appear more lively and energetic. "Good morning, General Jing!" they all cheered in unison. Jingdan gave a faint nod and then went to the kitchen to find He Xing. ---Oh my, the immense pressure coming their way nearly gave me a heart attack! ---Who wouldn't be anxious? I couldn't even breathe properly! ---I almost feel bad for the crew facing General Jing like this. The crew was truly terrified by Jingdan's presence. Even though they knew she was always like this, her cold gaze still sent shivers down their spines! Little did they know that once in the kitchen, Jingdan slyly tugged at He Xing's clothes and whispered, "You promised, two more bottles of milk after the show starts!" He Xing: "…I got it." Helpless, what else could she do when it came to someone she liked? Leisurely sipping on a glass of milk, Jingdan remained calm and then subtly returned the glass to He Xing. When He Xing refilled the cup, Jingdan’s lips curled into a barely noticeable smile. He Xing couldn't help but chuckle at Jingdan's small gestures. It was amusing to see her still concerned about her appearance, afraid of being captured by the crew and then criticized online for being a big eater. After finishing breakfast, the crew finally dared to openly film them, even conducting a short interview and questionnaire before heading to the recording location for the show. Listening to the questions, both Jingdan and He Xing's faces changed slightly. Without Fuzi's mischief, they might as well share the same last name with her! "By participating in this show, what expectations do you have regarding your relationship, and what stage do you anticipate it will reach after the show ends?" Both: "…" "Since this is a romance reality show, do you consider each other your soulmate?" Both: "…" ---Haha, I can't stop laughing, is the crew trying to pair them up too! ---Ah, we have an insider! The crew inside, us outside, working together to push this couple towards marriage! ---I didn't expect the fan base of Chun and Jingming to be so vast, Chun and Jingming fans: we have someone on the inside! Faced with the crew's relentless questioning, He Xing patted Jingdan's leg, and Jingdan understood.
