Chapter 791: I Like Whatever You Like!
Leng Jian: "..."
He wished she could forget that he had given her his business card.
Leng Jian dropped Zhang Lingying off at the laboratory building and let her go up alone.
Although he didn’t like Lu Jing, his fondness for Qin Nanyu wasn’t much better; at least, as of now, his dislike for Lu Jing wasn’t enough to make him want to help Qin Nanyu.
The affairs of the Qin Technology Group’s laboratory had nothing to do with him.
"I heard Weitian say you’re a computer expert too. The experiments being conducted in the lab right now should be right up your alley. Don’t you want to go up and take a look?" Zhang Lingying stood at the entrance, cunningly trying to coax Leng Jian like a kidnapper.
Her eyes, sincere, stared straight at him.
"I’m not an employee of the Qin Technology Group, it’s not convenient for me to enter your lab, I’d rather not go up," Leng Jian politely declined.
Catching a glimpse of her disappointed expression, he thought she was about to give up, but the next second, he heard her speak again.
"Then how about you wait for me downstairs for a few minutes? I’ll go up to see everyone and then come down and we can leave together?" While speaking, she had already taken off her personal bag and hung it on Leng Jian.
"It’s agreed that I am to accompany you to dinner and a movie today; we’ve only had one meal, and even then, there was a third wheel... No, I am a man of my word, I must take you to a movie alone today!"
Leng Jian: "..."
He didn’t remember agreeing to such a commitment.
But Zhang Lingying didn’t give him a chance to refuse.
Leng Jian looked down at the girl’s personal bag hanging on him, his brows slightly furrowed. When he looked up again, Zhang Lingying’s figure had already disappeared into the entrance of the laboratory building.
A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
He was used to being alone, doing everything by himself, including dining and sleeping.
Even going to the cinema was a solo adventure.
Yet no one had ever insisted on accompanying him like she did... it actually made him seem very lonely.
Worried that Leng Jian might grow impatient from waiting too long, Zhang Lingying made a quick check with her colleagues in the laboratory and came down quickly.
She bounced up to Leng Jian.
"Ding! Your fairy has arrived, please sign for receipt."
Leng Jian watched her grinning face before him, his eyes slightly tightening: "..."
Zhang Lingying didn’t notice the change in his expression and continued on her own: "What kind of movies do you like? Art films or romantic movies? Do guys usually prefer sci-fi movies?"
She muttered to herself for quite a while, unable to hear any response from Leng Jian.
Confused, she looked up to find Leng Jian also gazing at her.
Their eyes met, and both were momentarily stunned.
"... What kind of movies do you like?" Leng Jian regained his composure, his lips faintly moving.
But the light in his eyes was no longer as tranquil as before.
Zhang Lingying, a beat slower in her reaction, still didn’t forget her main objective of chasing her crush, "I like whatever you like. You choose!"
Leng Jian: "..."
Eventually, under her intense gaze, he chose a romance movie.
Zhang Lingying glanced at the movie he picked, pursed her lips in confusion, and said, "You actually like these romantic lovey-dovey films, not what I imagined."
Leng Jian: "..."
"I don’t mean anything else by it, I’m happy to accompany you to a romance film. I just thought you would prefer sci-fi, especially since there’s a sci-fi movie that’s currently popular..." Zhang Lingying’s murmurings all fell into Leng Jian’s ears.
His eyes flickered slightly, unexplained; he had chosen the romance film because he thought she would like it.
