KEEP WAITING FOR YOU - Season 36 Episode 4

Xie Jiling immediately put the phone next to her ear so that Han Zhuofeng’s voice wouldn’t be heard by the others.

“Yes?” Xie Jiling immediately said.

She blushed as she looked at her dorm mates, who were around her, then she lowered her head.

“You’re done with the morning classes, right?” asked Han Zhuofeng.

“Mmhm. I’m at the canteen, about to eat,” said Xie Jiling, “You’re done shooting for the morning?”

“Yeah, just now. I’m also calling you while eating.” Han Zhuofeng’s voice did not sound as nervous as Xie Jiling’s at all.

He was so natural that it was as though today wasn’t the first day of their relationship.

And Han Zhuofeng’s natural behavior calmed Xie Jiling down…

She became more relaxed.

However, Xie Jiling was still too embarrassed to talk to him while eating.

Since their relationship had changed, Xie Jiling unconsciously cared about her image.

She was worried that the sound of her chewing wouldn’t be nice.

“I remember you told me that you’ll finish classes at three in the afternoon today?” asked Han Zhuofeng.

“Mmhmm.”

“And you don’t have class in the morning tomorrow but have one at ten past three in the afternoon, right? asked Han Zhuofeng again.

“Yeah, why?” asked Xie Jiling, curious.

“Just wanted to ask if you wanna come to the production crew,” said Han Zhuofeng, “I still have four days till my one-day break. For the rest of the time, I have to be with the production crew, busy with work, so I can’t go back to the city to see you.”

The production crew was far away from the city. Usually, when he was done working, it would already be seven or eight at night. If he went back to the city, it would be ten at night.

He would not be able to spend a lot of time with Xie Jiling.

“But today is our first day. I feel strange not seeing you for so many days,” said Han Zhuofeng.

He had no prior dating experience.

However, a relationship required two people to spend time their time together.

How they used that time depended on them.

However, they couldn’t just date using their phones, right?

That would be no different from a long-distance relationship.

Especially when it was the first time for both of them, and it was their first day.

He was worried that if they did not meet each other, Xie Jiling wouldn’t feel that it was practical.

It would feel like the two weren’t dating.

If things went wrong, where could he go to cry?

So Han Zhuofeng thought of all kinds of ways to improve his relationship with Xie Jiling.

“So I’m thinking that after you’re done with your class in the afternoon today, I’ll ask someone to pick you up to come to the production crew. After our lunch together tomorrow at noon, I’ll ask someone to send you back again. I promise it won’t hold you up from your class.”

“And I can also book an extra room at the hotel for you,” said Han Zhuofeng, “I won’t do anything inappropriate.”

Xie Jiling pondered for a while. She wanted to see Han Zhuofeng as well.

It was exactly like what Han Zhuofeng said. They couldn’t just start dating without seeing each other.

Especially on the first day, it felt strange not to see each other.

Besides, it wasn’t like she hadn’t been to the production crew or stayed there before.

So Xie Jiling did not think that there was anything wrong with going to the production crew to see him.

It wasn’t like the two of them were going to some place far alone.

There were so many people there, so Xie Jiling had never even considered anything strange.

“Okay.” Xie Jiling nodded.

“Then I’ll ask Brother Xiao Liang to pick you up. He will arrive at three o’clock. You don’t have to rush even when you’re done with your class. He won’t have to wait for long as well,” said Han Zhuofeng.

“Alright.” Xie Jiling nodded.

Han Zhuofeng paused for a while without hanging up.

Xie Jiling thought that he had nothing else to say anymore and felt helpless.

Was it because there hadn’t been many chances for the both of them to spend time together, so it felt uncomfortable now that they were talking?

Xie Jiling was just about to open her mouth when Han Zhuofeng said, “Jiling, it’s our first day together.”

“Mmhm.” Xie Jiling nodded.

“I know that you have never had a boyfriend before. Otherwise, you won’t be so unsure about what it feels like to like someone.”

“Mmhmm.” Xie Jiling nodded.

“Such a coincidence. I’m the same,” Han Zhuofeng immediately said.

Xie Jiling was surprised. Han Zhuofeng was pretty young compared to his older brothers in the eight great families.

But to her, Han Zhuofeng wasn’t too young.

Did Han Zhuofeng not date anyone while he was studying?

Han Zhuofeng did not know about Xie Jiling’s confusion, so he continued, “I have no experience as well. Let’s fumble together. If I ever did anything you don’t like, tell me straight away. Don’t let me guess.”

He wouldn’t be able to guess it no matter how hard he tried.

It would be troublesome to do so as well.

Xie Jiling was also straightforward. “I will definitely tell you, so you should tell me straight away, too.”

“Okay, it’s a deal,” said Han Zhuofeng.

He still wanted to talk to Xie Jiling for a while more, but he thought about how she still hadn’t eaten.

As such, Han Zhuofeng said, “Eat first. Let’s chat on WeChat after eating. Come to the production crew in the afternoon. I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Okay, focus on your meal too.”

When Ren Linna and the others listened to their conversation, they noticed that it was strange.

You eat. I eat. You tell me straight away. I tell you straight away.

They sounded like newbies in dating.

“What did he ask you to do?” asked Kuang Xiaorou.

“He can’t come back because he’s busy filming, but he felt that we should see each other often because we’re in a relationship,” said Xie Jiling.

The other three nodded vigorously.

“I didn’t expect Han Zhuofeng’s sense of awareness to be pretty good,” said Feng Yaqing, smiling.

“I didn’t expect that as well,” said Xie Jiling.

“So, he asked Brother Xiao Liang to pick me up to go to the production crew. We will talk in the production crew,” said Xie Jiling.

“A date in the production crew; you got this!” Ren Linna gave her a thumbs up.

“But you’re going alone, so you should watch out. In this day and age, people aren’t so reserved anymore. We get together if our feelings are mutual. We also don’t care about keeping our own purity that much anymore,” reminded Kuang Xiaorou, “But it’s your first day, after all. No matter how much of a modern lady you are, you guys shouldn’t be sleeping together on the first day!”

“I know.” Xie Jiling puffed her cheeks. “Do I look that stupid?”

“You’re a little girl who has to ask us about how it feels to like someone, and you think you’re smart?” Feng Yaqing smiled as she roasted Xie Jiling, “In other aspects, you may be smart, but in terms of relationships, you’re a newbie.”

Xie Jiling was speechless.

Alright, it was her fault.

“Be rest assured. He said that he would book an extra room. He won’t do anything inappropriate,” Xie Jiling smiled and said.

“Good thing he’s a gentleman. If he’s too impatient, just let him go! No matter how outstanding he is, you have to let him go,” said Ren Linna.

“Mmhmm.” Xie Jiling nodded obediently.

“Aiyo, our Jiling is such a good girl. All of a sudden, I’m worried about giving you to Han Zhuofeng.” Feng Yaqing was like a worried old mother.

Xie Jiling smiled so wide her eyes squinted. “When he’s free, let’s eat with him. I will introduce him to you guys.”
