Chapter 348: Chapter 347 You Are the Best Gift

As the night wind caressed her, Xu Jing became much more clear-headed.

Only then did she, belatedly, realize just how bold and presumptuous she had been in the alley earlier.

She didn’t dare to look at Zhang Xiaoshan, for fear their eyes might meet.

"What can you do, it’s already like this," she said.

"My face is completely lost. I can’t dare to go home. Just take me directly to the school in White Dragon Village."

"I’ll come back after a few days, when my dad has forgotten about tonight’s incident," she continued.

Zhang Xiaoshan soothed Xu Jing, saying,

"You’re just burying your head in the sand by doing this."

"When your dad turned on the light earlier, I was blocking you. He only saw a blurry figure at most; he didn’t see clearly, and he only saw my back."

"If he really recognized you, he would have exploded with anger by now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing thought that it did indeed seem to be the case.

"But, but, but I’m still not at ease. What if he realizes it after he goes home?"

"That’s why I’m asking you to come with me," Zhang Xiaoshan said with a mysteriously amused smile.

...

More than forty minutes later, the two returned to the entrance of the alley.

But now, Xu Jing was wearing a brand-new emerald green floral dress.

One had to compliment Xu Jing’s figure; even in such a simply styled dress, she displayed her delightful figure to the fullest.

Zhang Xiaoshan found himself distracted again.

"Don’t mess around, I’m warning you," Xu Jing said, noticing Zhang Xiaoshan’s wandering thoughts and warning him.

Zhang Xiaoshan laughed awkwardly.

"Look at you. We’re comrades who’ve shared hardships. How can you have so little trust in me?" he asked.

"Enough, you should head back. I also need to go back to the KTV to see Baldy Liu. Otherwise, he might think I’ve run off," said Xu Jing with a worried expression.

"But, but I’m still a bit uneasy," Zhang Xiaoshan declared directly.

"Just be at ease. You’ve changed into new clothes. If your dad still recognizes you when you get home, I’ll take your surname from now on," he said.

"Besides, you can’t seriously never see your dad again, can you?" said Xu Jing helplessly.

"There’s no better solution now; I can only hope for the best. You’d better pray I can bluff my way through. Otherwise, prepare for my dad to chase after you with a kitchen knife," she said.

"Chase after? Surely it won’t come to that. At worst, I’ll just marry you," Zhang Xiaoshan blurted out casually.

His words struck right at Xu Jing’s heart.

"Who, who said I’m going to marry you? You wish," Xu Jing said, blushing and lowering her head.

This wasn’t going well.

Seeing Xu Jing with an expression like a cat in heat, Zhang Xiaoshan knew he had misspoken.

He quickly changed the subject.

"Anyway, I was just talking nonsense. Here, take this," he said.

As if performing a magic trick, Zhang Xiaoshan pulled out a brand new iPhone from behind him and handed it to Xu Jing.

"Ah, what do you mean by this?" she asked.

"It’s the latest model, isn’t it? I’ve seen it in friends’ circles. Isn’t it around eight or nine thousand?" Xu Jing was first surprised and then began to refuse with wave after wave of her hand.

"No, no, no, it’s too valuable. I can’t accept it," she said.

"Come on, take it. I bought it especially for you while you were trying on clothes just now. Besides, didn’t I throw your phone away? This is my way of compensating you," Zhang Xiaoshan reassured her.

But Xu Jing still resisted.

"My phone was just over two thousand, and I’ve had it for three to four years; it wasn’t worth much. And besides, you had no choice at that time. Forget it, forget it," she said.

An iPhone worth eight or nine thousand was definitely a luxury in the impoverished mountain area.

Xu Jing was a very modest girl. She’d buy clothes for a hundred or two, and the phone she had bought back in college had already served her for over a year since graduation.

"You really don’t want it?" Zhang Xiaoshan pursed his lips.

"All right, then. If you don’t want it, I’ll keep it to give to another girl."

"You dare!"

Just as Zhang Xiaoshan was about to take the phone back, Xu Jing snatched it away.

"Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?" Zhang Xiaoshan sneered.

"I’d rather have it than you using it to please other women," Xu Jing asserted stubbornly.

"I’ll reluctantly accept the phone for now," she declared.

"But let’s make one thing clear. This phone isn’t compensation you’re giving me; it’s a gift from you," she insisted.

"Is there a difference?" Zhang Xiaoshan was entirely baffled—women’s thought processes were truly strange.

Xu Jing, however, said resolutely,

"Of course. Just admit it, will you?"

"Of course, of course. Take it. I’ve already got you a supplementary SIM card to use for now. Once your ID card is reissued, you can go and get your own card," he agreed.

"Hehe, you’re so considerate. This is the first gift you’ve given me, and I’ll definitely treasure it," said Xu Jing with a beaming smile.

She looked like a child who had received a beloved toy.

"Alright, it’s late. I’m headed back now. We’ll keep in touch through texts!" she announced.

"Otherwise, I could walk you in; it’s so dark in the alley," Zhang Xiaoshan said nonchalantly.

"Psh, keep dreaming," Xu Jing replied, making a face at Zhang Xiaoshan before cheerfully running inside.

"As expected, women, heh," Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head, walked over to his Land Rover, and drove back to Hai Long KTV.

At that moment, in Xu Jing’s home, Xu Wenming was pacing back and forth in the living room incessantly.

"No, no, no, wife, did you pay attention to what Little Jing was wearing when she left today? "

"Was she wearing jeans and a cardigan with short sleeves?"

Xu Wenming tried to recall the silhouette he had seen in the dark alley.

Why did it look so much like his beloved daughter?
