Chapter 123: An Impulse
Jiang Baizhou pressed his lips into a straight line, pondering for a moment, a hint of deep meaning flickering in his eyes. His cool lips lightly moved, emitting a sexy and rich bass: "After the movie, let’s stop by the bookstore to have a custom tag made."
"A tag?" Cen Jin looked at him in confusion, completely unsure of what he was talking about. She leaned closer and whispered, "What kind of tag, and what for?"
"A tag that says ’Taken,’ to stick on you." Jiang Baizhou gave a soft hum. It wasn’t hard to detect a trace of resentment and a bit of proud displeasure in his voice: "To stick on you."
Cen Jin was speechless, with three black lines falling beside her forehead. From his simple four-word phrase, she detected an undercurrent of jealousy.
"Alright! Then when we have yours made, let’s get one for you too."
"Hmm?"
"Don’t look at me with those innocent eyes. The number of girls chasing after your phone number and WeChat ID could fill two Chunxi Roads, you know?" Staring into his puzzled and innocent dark eyes, Cen Jin immediately recalled the scenes of girls chasing after him for his number, trying every trick in the book to flirt with him, and felt particularly unamused.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Baizhou raised an eyebrow, and in the dim light of the cinema, the corners of his lips curled up imperceptibly. He finally felt her genuine concern for him.
"Great, we can customize a couple’s set." Jiang Baizhou’s gaze shifted from her to the screen, and the tone of his voice lingered, giving a lingering impression of deeper meaning.
Cen Jin looked at him in surprise, feeling that today’s Jiang Baizhou was someone she’d never seen before, so unfamiliar. After staring at him for a while, she leaned closer and whispered, "Why do I feel like you’re so different today? Not like yourself at all?"
