Chapter 46.2 Caught off guard, Ji Lin suddenly felt a little nervous.

In any case, Bai Duanduan finally experienced the feeling of winning by lying down against Ji Lin. After all, in the eyes of other colleagues, she was a great cook. Apart from accepting everyone’s thanks, she was praised as well.

After a night’s rest at the farmhouse, the next day was a hike in the forest park. Because she was happy to have some time to herself and was not under pressure to get up early for work, Bai Duanduanà changed into a new dress she had bought a few days before and used the curling iron she had brought along to make big, fluffy curls, and to match her hair, she decided to change from her usual light make-up to a more flamboyant look, choosing a fuller, brighter shade of lipstick.

As expected, Bai Duanduan’s new style of dress was unanimously praised by her colleagues as soon as she appeared —

“Oh, Duanduan, this new style of yours today is a sight to behold! It’s so charming and pretty!”

“You’re walking the ramp, lawyer Bai! If the Victoria’s Secret Show hadn’t been cancelled, I think you’d be the one opening the show!”

“Wow, Duanduan, this lipstick is so pretty, what brand and shade is it? I want to buy it too.”

“I wish I had your face, if only I had your face, I’d rather lower my IQ by half and be a happy vase so I could look as good as you in dresses and skirts!”

……

Bai Duanduan smiled back one by one, and didn’t care too much. She wasn’t the kind of person who needed to rely on other people’s compliments to be in a happy mood. This forest park was quite scenic and Bai Duanduan was in quite a good mood.

She remembered that she hadn’t updated her circle of friends for almost half a year, so she was ready to find a scenic backdrop to take a couple of selfies. The day before she had observed that there was a view of a pavilion and a koi fish pond if she turned the corner ahead and followed the path.

The koi fish pond was a quick walk away, but Bai Duanduan didn’t expect that someone would already be there so early.

Ji Lin was leaning against the railing, throwing fish food into the pond. When he heard the movement behind him, he turned his head slightly and looked at Bai DuanDuan, then turned back to look at the pond again.

Although Bai Duanduan doesn’t need compliments from others to be confident, but with such a big change in her dressing style and outfit that day, Ji Lin didn’t say a word! Just that light glance just now?

She was not convinced!

Bai Duanduan pretended to be natural and paced up to Ji Lin’s side, “It’s a nice day, you’re up so early.”

Ji Lin frowned and gave Bai Duanduan a puzzled look, “It’s already ten o’clock.”

“……”

Forget it, let’s get to the point.

Bai Duanduan coughed and looked at Ji Lin, “Haven’t you noticed anything different about me today?”

She frantically hinted, “For example, do you think there is anything about me today that is particularly praiseworthy? Although I don’t like people complimenting me, but I still accept praise from the bottom of my heart.”

…..

——

Ji Lin actually had a feeling when Bai Duanduan sneaked up behind him, but he still insisted on not turning around. After all, this woman had peeked at him yesterday and didn’t know how she could still have the courage to strut around like that, when it was obvious that they should avoid embarrassing each other and not meet.

When Ji Lin thought about last night, he didn’t feel too good again and he was about to die from anger. The weather was obviously cold that day, but he felt his face getting hot with anger again from just thinking about it.

Unfortunately, Bai Duanduan was rather bashful and Ji Lin eventually couldn’t resist and glanced back at her. She was still as pretty as yesterday, but seemed a little different.

Before Ji Lin had time to wonder what exactly was different, Bai Duanduan’s line of questioning came –

“Haven’t you noticed anything different about me today?”

Ji Lin froze, he felt a sense of déjà vu with these words, as if someone had asked him the exact same question not long ago.

He frowned and looked at Bai Duanduan, trying to remember the last time he had heard these words.

Never mind, unable to recall, Ji Lin looked at Bai Duanduan again, “Different? What could be different about you?”

“……”

Bai Duanduan was almost angry with Ji Lin’s words, he called herself no different?

But Ji Lin didn’t have enough, “Praise? Praise for what?” He said with an expressionless face, “For watching me in the shower?”

“I! No! Yes! Steal! Look! You! Take a bath!” Bath!” Bai Duanduan was simply furious, “Do you know what time I woke up today? I got up at six in the morning! Even earlier than usual!”

Ji Lin froze after hearing this, and then frowned, “Did you get up so early to repent?”

“……”

Bai Duanduan calmed down, “What do I have to repent for? It’s not like I did it on purpose! And didn’t you say not to mention the past? You’re so desperate to rehash old scores. Is this something that you can forget only after three hundred years?”

Bai Duanduan ruffled her hair, “My hair! I’ve got curls!” She said excitedly, “I got up at six in the morning to do my hair, did you see that? I usually have long straight black hair, but today it’s big and wavy. And look, I’ve got mascara on today, so aren’t my lashes long? This lipstick colour also matches my dress colour, right? It’s new from Tom Ford this year, your mum will be envious when she sees it ……”

Probably women are naturally passionate about makeup, clothes and hairstyles. When Bai Duanduan started talking, she didn’t care whether Ji Lin was interested or not. She was just so happy with her look that day that she couldn’t help but talk about it.

And it was at this moment that Ji Lin finally remembered what had happened the last time he had encountered this scene.

It was Li Min.

Li Min had asked him the exact same question, but what was his answer back then? All he knew was that he hadn’t felt any different from Li Min that day, just like he had when he had replied to Bai Duanduan.

It was just that these two people’s responses were completely different.

Ji Lin remembered that Li Min didn’t say anything at that time, just pursed her lips and turned away, while Bai Duanduan, on the other hand, was quite dissatisfied and didn’t hide her emotions at all. She just dragged himself, forcing him to look at the “differences” while explaining, blah blah blah. Her pretty lips never stopped.

It was because of this that Ji Lin was forced to notice the “change” in Bai Duanduan that day.

She did change to a curly hairstyle. Ji Lin didn’t really like girls with curly hair, thinking it would look less meek, but at the moment Bai Duanduan’s curly hair was beautiful and she didn’t look meek, or rather, she never had even a stroke to do with the word meek, but she looked really good with an excited face explaining how she had made this new hairstyle.

Her lipstick was a little too red, if anyone else used it, it would be too much, but with her porcelain white skin, it was just the right shade of red. Tom Ford? It turns out she likes this brand.

The dress was goose-yellow, a colour that is too skin-critical, but it looked good on Bai Duanduan. She looked like a small splash of yellow dancing around.

It was only when he saw the shoes that Ji Lin frowned, “It’s a hike today and you’re walking in a stiletto heel?”

“These are Jimmy Choo’s shoes! Although they are old models from last year, they are super comfortable to wear, and the color matches this dress, right? These shoes look good with this dress when taking pictures. Hey, come here, you just happen to be here, take a picture for me, I want to send it to my friends!”

Before Ji Lin could react, Bai Duanduan shoved her mobile phone into his hand and she ran away without a word. She found an angle that could capture the distant mountains and lake view, and then waved her hand towards himself.

“Shoot it, Ji Lin!”

Bai Duanduan shouted while smiling. She made a scissors hand, but seemed to dislike this pose, so she thought about it and made a finger heart. Ji Lin knew that she was clearly doing it for a pose, but the act was as if she was making a heart at himself, and suddenly Ji Lin was caught off guard and felt a little nervous.

——

Bai Duanduan finally ran back to Ji Lin’s side after posing for a long time. She thanked him and took her phone, ready to choose a suitable one to post to her friends to show that she was still alive and well, but as soon as she opened the album, she frowned.

Ji Lin had taken about ten pictures of her, but they were all blurred!

With such a good background and such a good expression, Bai Duanduan wanted to wail, “Ji Lin, it’s fine if your hands are shaking in one photo, but why are your hands shaking in all of them? You’re poisonous, aren’t you? You’re deliberately not giving me a good shot!”

The place was cool and there was a breeze from the lake, but it was a bit embarrassing that he had shaken his hands a dozen times in a row, so Ji Lin’s face was a bit red at the moment. He dropped his gaze, looking surprisingly shaky and uncomfortable for the first time, and then he made a rather clumsy excuse —

“I am too tired from cooking and doing dishes yesterday, my hands didn’t recover.”

“……”

OK, this cooking and dishwashing excuse seems to be too much to pass up.

Duan Duan: I didn’t cook, I didn’t eat less, I didn’t have to wash the dishes, I was praised crazily, and I had an extra income worth of 200 yuan red envelope.

Partner Ji: I’m tired of cooking, I can’t eat well, I’m treated as a sister, I have to wash the dishes, and I also have to give away a red envelope worth 200 yuan.

Was it a tragedy or a tragedy

Many years later, colleagues came to Duanduan’s house for dinner

Partner Ji came out of the kitchen wearing an apron: It’s over, I lost my dignity

Reader @please call me scum’

Why does a big man cook every day?

Ji Lin: I’m afraid that my wife will poison herself to death

Why is a big man so stingy?

Ji Lin: Save money and give my wife a bonus.

Isn’t it economically ineffective for a wife to earn her husband’s money?

Ji Lin: A wife being a husband’s subordinate can effectively prevent office harassment

Reader @Xixizi’

Ji par: I’ll eat. (Sneakily poured into the flower pot when Duanduan wasn’t paying attention)

Three days later,

Duanduan: Why did the flower die?

Partner Ji: It has endured the pain it shouldn’t have to bear at its age, let it go in silence.
