Summer Kiss

Chapter 209 It's not easy to get off.
Jiang Yuning pursed her lips, "Is there ever a time when you can't convince someone with your words?"

Fu Xicheng gave a faint smile, a smile tinged with helplessness.

"I can persuade others, but it doesn't seem to work on you."

"Ningning, there's something I want to ask you. Have you told your parents about having a boyfriend?"

Jiang Yuning sat down on the sofa, tilted her head back slightly, looked up at the ceiling, and let her thoughts drift for a while.

She hasn't told her parents about this yet.

She said slowly, "I plan to give them a surprise."

Surprise?
He might just be surprised.

Fu Xicheng said, "Meng Tingchuan unexpectedly ran into Xie Linzhou today, and that's when he found out that your girlfriend is dating Xie Linzhou. I think it's better to give your aunt and uncle a heads-up beforehand."

Jiang Yuning asked, "How can I reveal it?"

Fu Xicheng's eyes were sincere as he said in a serious tone, "Tonight, you should send them a message saying that you have a boyfriend and that you plan to take me to meet them this weekend. Give them a heads-up so they can be mentally prepared."

"If I suddenly appeared in front of them, they might find it hard to accept at first."

Jiang Yuning felt that Fu Xicheng had said this far too late. There were only two days left until the weekend. What difference did it make whether he said it now or two days later?

“Fu Xicheng, there are still 2 days left in the countdown. I don’t think it’s necessary.”

Even if it's only for two days, Fu Xicheng felt it was necessary.

He didn't want to go through as much trouble as Meng Shuyu and Xie Linzhou when he met Jiang Yuning's parents.

He secretly resolved to put himself in a favorable position.

"Ningning, are you too shy to speak up? Give me your phone, I'll chat with them."

Jiang Yuning: "???"

Jiang Yuning hadn't expected Fu Xicheng to do something like this.

She frowned slightly, her face filled with worry. "You're not me. Our speaking styles are completely different. Aren't you afraid you'll give yourself away?"

What flaw did it reveal?
He only sent a few lines of text; he wasn't having a long chat with them.

Fu Xicheng was full of confidence. "No, don't you remember how high my emotional intelligence is?"

Jiang Yuning swiped her finger across the phone screen a few times, found her group chat, and then handed the phone to Fu Xicheng.

Fu Xicheng narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately noticed that it was a WeChat group. He stroked his chin and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"Ningning, when can I join your group chat?"

Jiang Yuning was speechless for a moment, and after a long while, she managed to utter a sentence, "What do you think?"

Fu Xicheng's eyes were full of hope for the future. He said, "It seems I have to work harder and join your ranks as soon as possible. This is my goal worth striving for this year."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuning's lips slowly curved into a smile; she certainly understood the meaning behind Fu Xicheng's words.

He was desperate to become her family, but in reality, she had long considered him one of her own.

She believed that Fu Xicheng was the same.

"Fu Xicheng, how eager are you to marry me?"

Fu Xicheng didn't tell Jiang Yuning that he had been eyeing her for five years, but she was unaware of it.

He planned to tell her about it after they got married.

He answered without hesitation, "I've had this idea for a while now."

Fu Xicheng's slender fingers swiped rapidly across the phone screen. He scrolled up their chat history, typed a few lines, and sent them. Then, he handed the phone to Jiang Yuning.

"Ningning, I'm going back now. If you have any news, please let me know via WeChat."

Jiang Yuning was filled with confusion. This was the first time Fu Xicheng had come to her house and left after sitting for less than ten minutes.

He wasn't like this before; he always tried to stay here and not leave. What's wrong with him today? Does he have some urgent business to attend to?
Jiang Yuning parted her red lips slightly, "Are you leaving so soon?"

Fu Xicheng glanced at the time, raised an eyebrow, and seemed somewhat surprised. "Do you want me to stay the night?"

Jiang Yuning reacted immediately. She reached out and pushed Fu Xicheng, urging him with some embarrassment and annoyance, "You should leave now."

Fu Xicheng suddenly thought of something. He stood up, strode to the window, and pulled up the curtains in the living room.

Jiang Yuning looked at him with a blank expression, completely unable to understand his actions or what he was trying to do. At this moment, her heart was beating noticeably faster.

Fu Xicheng walked to Jiang Yuning's side, his eyes shining with deep affection.

He lifted her hand and placed it on his chest.

"Ningning, didn't you want to check my wound in person during our video call before? Now's your chance."

Jiang Yuning was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" She blinked and looked at Fu Xicheng, who had an excellent memory and could remember such things.

"Fu Xicheng, you said your wound has healed, so I believe you and won't have it checked."

Fu Xicheng refused; how could he let this opportunity slip by?

"Wouldn't you be completely at ease if you checked it yourself?"

Jiang Yuning's eyes flickered, and her gaze towards Fu Xicheng became somewhat strange. Fu Xicheng had started clinging to her again.

"Fu Xicheng, do you really want me to take off your clothes?"

Fu Xicheng: "??? It's not about taking off clothes, it's just checking the injuries."

Jiang Yuning still looked puzzled, and she wanted Fu Xicheng to explain it to her properly.

"What's the essential difference between taking off clothes to examine injuries and doing so?"

Fu Xicheng was helpless; his girlfriend was taking this seriously at this moment.

He frowned slightly, then slowly relaxed his brow. "Ningning, are you going to look or not?"

Jiang Yuning naturally wanted to see it, but she just wanted to be a little temperamental and tease Fu Xicheng.

She wanted to see exactly where Fu Xicheng's bottom line was.

Suddenly, she laughed, deliberately drawing out her words, "You're not wearing a shirt again today, so it's not easy to take it off."

Fu Xicheng knew that Jiang Yuning was not interested in him, and he was afraid that he had no hope today and could only give up.

He said with a hint of regret, "Ningning, let's wait until another day to see."

Jiang Yuning quickly grabbed Fu Xicheng's arm, a playful glint in her eyes.

She said, "Look, the curtains are all drawn. If I don't take the initiative, wouldn't I be being a bit tactless?"

"Fu Xicheng, take it off yourself. I don't want to do it myself."

Fu Xicheng then realized that Jiang Yuning was playing him, and he was helpless.

Then a soft voice rang out, "Take it off whenever you want, it feels better to do it yourself."

Jiang Yuning didn't want to keep beating around the bush with Fu Xicheng, so she said directly, "Is it you who has feelings, or me?"
