Chapter 1749: Chapter 649: Romantic Moments by the River with Her! (Extended Chapter)

About ten minutes later, Zhang Jingdong and his friends arrived at Zhang Lihua’s home in Qingya Garden.

Following Zhang Lihua’s directions, Zhang Jingdong parked the car under Building 7.

To be honest, Zhang Lihua was a bit regretful at this moment.

But she also knew that it was too late to regret, so she kept silent and got out of the car with Zhang Jingdong.

They took the elevator upstairs and arrived at her apartment door.

Zhang Lihua whispered, "I’ll go in first. If everything is fine, I’ll call you in."

Zhang Jingdong noticed her nervousness and replied, "Alright."

Zhang Lihua gave him a look and then went inside.

A minute later, the door opened again.

Zhang Lihua waved at Zhang Jingdong, who immediately stepped inside.

The two walked through the dark living room and quietly entered Zhang Lihua’s bedroom.

As the door closed, Zhang Lihua let out a deep sigh of relief.

Zhang Jingdong ruffled her beautiful hair, then turned his attention to admire her room.

The overall style of her bedroom wasn’t luxurious, but very cozy. It was clearly the style of a child who still lived with her parents.

A bed, a wardrobe, a dresser, and the windowsill was filled with plants and flowers.

Zhang Jingdong softly said, "To avoid waking up your parents, how about we chat on the bed under the covers?"

Zhang Lihua hesitated for a moment, then said slightly embarrassedly, "But you have to promise me not to get frisky, or my parents will definitely hear us!"

Zhang Jingdong immediately raised his right hand: "I swear... and don’t worry, I’m more afraid than you are of being discovered by them."

"After all, it’s my first time at your house. If they really catch us in your room, I won’t be able to face them again!"

Seeing Zhang Jingdong’s serious expression, Zhang Lihua said, "I’ll trust you one more time."

Then the two of them got on the bed and covered themselves with the blanket.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong remarked, "Your blanket smells so nice. Is it made from local cotton?"

"How did you know?"

"Hey, I’m a local too, okay? And the blankets at my house are also made by my mom with cotton she bought."

"No wonder, I got used to this blanket’s scent when I was little, and my mom would make a few sets every couple of years."

"Does your mom also buy cotton from the store on Back Street?"

"Yeah."

"My mom always buys cotton there too. I remember there’s a beef noodle shop next to it — every time we went, I would pester my mom to take me for a bowl. Their noodle soup was amazing!"

Zhang Lihua sweetly said, "I also went to that cotton store with my mom and had their beef noodles."

"Really? Seems like we have quite a few shared memories. Where did you go to kindergarten?"

"...Yuhong Kindergarten, next to the Education Bureau."

"See, I knew it..." Zhang Jingdong jokingly reached out to Zhang Lihua: "Sis, let’s shake hands. I was also an outstanding graduate of Yuhong Kindergarten."

Zhang Lihua was initially stunned, but when she realized Zhang Jingdong wasn’t joking, she reached out to shake his hand: "That’s quite a coincidence!"

Zhang Jingdong laughed playfully: "Right? I still remember our kindergarten teacher’s name was pretty uncommon. Her last name was Yan, like ’salt’ in ’oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar’."

Zhang Lihua was immediately surprised: "Our teacher at that time was also this Teacher Yan! Didn’t she have a mole above her right eyebrow?"

Zhang Jingdong was also thrilled: "Yes, I can’t believe we had the same kindergarten teacher! Wow, what a connection!"

He then gave Zhang Lihua a quick kiss.

The conversation continued along these lines, leading them to discover many more shared memories.

Though Zhang Lihua hadn’t mentioned it before, she had been somewhat concerned about the age difference between them. But now...

First, she realized they actually shared many childhood memories, which made her feel that their age gap wasn’t a big deal since there was no generation gap between them at all.

Second, she also became aware that Zhang Jingdong intentionally brought up these topics, sensing his thoughtful gesture, which made her appreciate him even more.

An hour later, although Zhang Jingdong was filled with excitement, he remembered how he had promised Zhang Lihua several times earlier and even swore he wouldn’t touch her.

So he suppressed his impulses and said, "Alright, it’s getting late. You should sleep. I’ll be leaving now!"

He gave Zhang Lihua a quick kiss, and then was about to get out of bed.

Zhang Lihua was touched by Zhang Jingdong’s fidelity, and after their conversation just now, she found it hard to control her emotions.

So as Zhang Jingdong was about to put on his clothes, she suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Instantly, Zhang Jingdong’s heart leaped, vaguely sensing something.

But he knew he had to hide his joy, so he delivered an Oscar-worthy performance: "Hmm? What’s up?"

Zhang Lihua bit her lip, blushing with joy: "Didn’t you say you wanted to leave your scent here so that I won’t feel lonely when I miss you later?"

Zhang Jingdong continued to play dumb: "Didn’t I already leave my scent on the bed just now? What, is it not enough?"

Feeling like he was purposely playing dumb, Zhang Lihua gave him a soft, reproachful look: "Fine, then you can just go."

Seeing that she had caught on, Zhang Jingdong promptly responded artfully, "Hmm? Why are you upset now?"

"How am I upset? Why would I be upset?"
