Chapter Ninety-Four Agreement

  From birth to growth and then stability, Zhu Jing's life trajectory and lifestyle seem to be quite different from those of most people.

  And now, even his first confession is so extraordinary.

  Most men get a "good guy" card when they confess for the first time, and it's clear that when God gave Chu Jingyan a bumpy life, he also pitied him with good luck in women.

  At least the women who have been with him don't dislike him, and this is all based on facts.

  But even if one's face is as thick as Chu Jingyan's, it's still unbelievable. Is that all? Did I really succeed in confessing my love? Is this delicate and lovely girl in front of me really mine now?

  This difficulty coefficient is a bit low, or is it that Chu Jingyan's charm value is really too high?

  This is no longer just charming, this is literally god killing god and Buddha killing Buddha.

  Before Chu Jingyan could excitedly grab Han Xiaozhu's wrist and take a few bites, Han Xiaozhu took the lead in saying: "However, considering the special nature of our relationship, I think we should look at it rationally and get along with each other before determining our relationship."

  "What?" Chu Jingyan was still in a daze.

  Han Hyo-joo explained: "In other words, I am now just a nominal relationship, as for the substantial ones, these are things that will not happen in the foreseeable future."

  Chu Jingyu stared blankly at Han Hyo-joo and then said, "Miss Han, your way of playing is a bit high-end, I can't keep up with the rhythm for the time being."

  Han Xiaoju beckoned the waiter over and had them clear away the leftover food on the table. Then, she asked for a few sheets of paper and a pen, which she placed in front of Chu Jingyan.

  Seeing this, Chu Jing hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I write Korean characters particularly ugly, Chinese you can't recognize, English I can speak but writing is also half-baked, so you write it instead, think of what to write."

  Han Hyo-joo picked up her pen and asked in confusion: "Chinese, haven't you never lived in China?"

  Chu Jing smiled and said: "What T'ang People Street lacks least is Chinese people. How can you stay with Chinese people and not learn Chinese?"

  Han Hyo-joo started scribbling away with her pen brush.

  At first, Chu Jingyan was just bored sitting on one side drinking juice and waiting quietly. After half a cup of juice went down his stomach, Chu Jingyan only discovered that Han Xiaozhu's writing posture wasn't quite right.

  The head should be two fists away from the pen, doesn't she understand?

  Is it good or bad for nearsightedness to be so easy?

  Moreover, she was wearing a low-cut little cheongsam dress, how could this not make people's hearts flutter? Chu Jingyan silently straightened her waist, lengthened her neck and carefully observed for a while before contentedly closing her eyes.

  It's quite big, this is enough, Chu Jingyan knew he wasn't a greedy person, this size was just right.

  After a glass of juice, Han Hyo-joo stopped writing. Under the gaze of Chu Jingyan, who seemed to have something left unsaid, Han Hyo-joo picked up the paper filled with words and cleared her throat.

  "This is something I've written to note, in order to prevent misunderstandings that may easily arise during the process of getting in touch and familiarizing ourselves again. Let me read it out loud first, then you can express your differing opinions."

  "No wonder he's an actor, even dating is so grand." Chu Jingyan clicked his tongue in amazement.

  "Look, this is the first misunderstanding. Fortunately, I had the foresight to include this point in the agreement." Han Hyo-joo said, "You just violated Article 5 of the agreement. Please note, Chu Jingyan, that during the effective period of this agreement, you and I are not in a romantic relationship."

  "What is it?" Chu Jingyan asked.

  "If I had to find an adjective." Han Hyo-joo thought for a moment and said, "I guess it's the stage of mutual understanding."

  Chu Jing nodded: "Sounds not bad."

  "The reason I have this is to be responsible for you and me," said Han Xiaoju. "I don't know if you're just trying to stir up trouble, but no matter what you think, in the end, you got your way. Since I agreed to be your girlfriend, I will definitely be your girlfriend. In this circle, one must keep their word."

  "Chu Jing clapped his hands and praised: 'Well said, I will study hard.'"

  Han Hyo-joo nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Alright, let's formally begin the terms of the contract. First, after this contract takes effect, privately, Party A allows Party B to openly acknowledge their relationship. Remember, only privately, and in order to protect Party A's career and work, unnecessary meetings will be avoided whenever possible."

  "Secondly, without the consent of Party A, Party B shall not touch or make any intimate contact with Party A's body, including all forms of affectionate behavior, which should be strictly prohibited, except in special circumstances."

  Chu Jing raised his hand and asked, "What is a special moment?"

  "This is decided by me." Han Hyo-joo said.

  Chu Jing nodded: "Then you continue."

  "Article 3: Spiritually, both parties can voluntarily fulfill the obligations of a pure boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, such as sending greetings messages, or offering encouragement at work, which is conducive to deepening mutual understanding between each other. These are all encouraged."

  "Article 4: Given the special nature of Party A's profession, Party B is allowed to propose opportunities for the two parties to be alone together at an appropriate time each month, similar to today's date, which is a good example."

  Chu Jingyan raised his hand again and asked: "So, what is meant by 'the right time', how can I grasp it?"

  Han Hyo-joo pointed at her own nose and said: "I'll decide on this, you just apply, I'll be in charge of the final say."

  "I see." Chu Jingyan expressed that he understood.

  "The fifth item has already been mentioned earlier and will not be repeated here, the sixth item..."

  "Alright." Chu Jingyan stopped Han Xiaoju's words and scratched his hair before saying, "What is the significance of this agreement anyway?"

  "What's the point?" Han Hyo-joo put down the contract and said, "If we can continue like this in the future, even if I don't want to admit it now, the ending will definitely be good, I believe that."

  "If we can't persist, or if either of us gives up, then it means that what we did and said tonight was just an impulsive act. I admit that you, Chu Jingyan, are much more mature than people of the same age. A 23-year-old's behavior is like a 32-year-old."

  "But even from watching TV dramas, you can tell that emotions aren't something you can get just by trying hard."

  "After all, it relies on the mutual dependence between both parties."

  Han Hyo-joo's body leaned forward slightly and asked: "Do you have any dependence on me?"

  Chu Jing shook his head very honestly.

  "I don't have it for you either." Han Hyo-joo spread her hands and said, "If we don't even have dependence on each other, then this relationship has no meaning to exist."

  Chu Jingyan let the waiter refill her glass of juice, took a sip and said: "As for the terms below, I can guess roughly without looking at them. After writing so much, the central idea is simply to draw a very clear dividing line between us two."

  "Crossing the line is crossing the fire, isn't it?"

  Han Hyo-joo nodded.

  "If one day we cross the line without realizing it, or if we get used to it, what should we do then?" Chu Jingyan looked at Han Xiaoju and asked, "Do we need to sign another agreement?"

  "In the future I can see, it's not the day you mentioned." Han Hyo-joo said.

  Chu Jing smiled and said: "You're a very considerate person, I think you'll be a good choice as a girlfriend. I'm not very good at creating romance, so please mentally prepare yourself for that."

  "I don't really like romance," said Han Hyo-joo.

  Chu Jing spoke in surprise: "I didn't expect that the two of us would be so compatible, a match made in heaven! Could it be that there's really a predestined fate at work here?"

  Han Hyo-joo didn't care about Choo Kyung-yeon's teasing, and the two people's identities had undergone a huge transformation within ten minutes. Han Hyo-joo asked with a mischievous smile: "As your girlfriend, I think it's necessary for me to ask my boyfriend, before me, did you really not like any woman?"

  "May I not answer?"

  "Of course not."

  "Why?"

  "Article 3 of the agreement: All exchanges that are beneficial for both parties A and B to enhance mutual understanding are encouraged and supported."

  Chu Jing spoke and pulled the corner of his mouth, saying: "Of course there is."

  "What kind of girl is she?" Han Hyo-joo asked.

  "Which one are you asking about?" Chu Jingyan asked back, "There are many, I mean there are many who have a good impression of me."

  "Then let's take it one by one, I have plenty of time." Han Hyo-joo said after glancing at her watch.

  "She's shorter than you, smaller than you, and cuter than you," Chu Jingyan said. "But the reason why nothing happened is because I have a very good reason, she's not as mature as you, doesn't think as much as you, and her tolerance is not as good as yours."

  "What's most important is that I see her, and fantasizing about having a future with her makes me feel really ungrounded."

  "To be honest, I'm also not very clear about it."

  Han Hyo-joo looked puzzled: "So your meaning is that when you fantasize about having a future with me, it feels very solid?"

  "No, on the contrary, I haven't thought of it at all." Chu Jingyan took a sip of juice and said, "But you are indeed someone with great potential in my eyes."

  "What kind of future?" Han Hyo-joo asked.

  "Can love me deeply and be loved by me deeply."

  "That kind of existence with emotional sustenance."

  "That kind of existence that makes you get goosebumps just thinking about it but really want."

  "That kind of existence which can tolerate some unexpected things from me and won't give up easily."

  Chu Jingyu gazed out at the night view outside the window, while Han Hyo-joo looked at him.

  The man in her eyes looked somewhat desolate.

  But yet it seems incredibly powerful.

  ..........

  It's getting late at night

  Chu Jingyan and Han Xiaozhu got up to leave, and as they walked shoulder to shoulder to the restaurant door, Han Xiaozhu suddenly grasped Chu Jingyan's arm with both hands.

  Chu Jingyu looked at Han Hyo-joo with some surprise.

  "One of the benefits of having a boyfriend is occasional broadcasting." Han Hyo-joo tilted her head.

  Chu Jingyan knew that at this moment, someone was watching them leave from behind.

  So they must think that these dog men and women who show off their love will definitely go out and get hit by a car.

  But what's the difference?

  Single dog forever has no human rights.
