Chapter 39: Confirming the Romantic Relationship

Xiang Yutang even suspected if there was something wrong with her ears. Zhu Zhengchu said he wanted to be with her?!

Zhu Zhengchu confessed tenderly, "Tangtang, I told you before that at first I took care of you because of your father. But later it really had nothing to do with your father. I took care of you because I like you."

Xiang Yutang had been confessed to many times, but this was the first time she felt such a flutter.

Zhu Zhengchu continued, "I don't know when I started to like you. I just feel happy as long as I see you every day. But I never dared to confess my feelings to you. I was afraid you didn't like me. But now it's proved that you like me too. Since that's the case, why don't we be together?"

Xiang Yutang blushed, "Master, I... I'm not a man!"

Zhu Zhengchu gently bit her ear, "Tangtang, I've said that if you say I'm gay again, I'll punish you properly."

Xiang Yutang suddenly felt all tingly from his tone and didn't know what to do.

"I... I..."

"Tangtang, will you be with me?" Zhu Zhengchu asked again.

Xiang Yutang just felt dizzy and didn't know what to do.

Although Xiang Yutang was usually quite unreliable, she had high standards when it came to relationships. She once fantasized that her first love in the future must be someone carefully screened. It didn't matter if he wasn't tall or handsome, but they must share the same values. But unexpectedly, she had met someone who was both tall and handsome. She just didn't know if their values were the same. Subconsciously, she felt that she and Zhu Zhengchu should be of the same kind, after all, Zhu Zhengchu had been so good to her. But when it came to relationships...

"Tangtang, I'll sing for you every day from now on. Please promise me, okay?" Zhu Zhengchu's tone took on a bit of a coquettish tone.

Reason told Xiang Yutang that she should wait, but as soon as Zhu Zhengchu softened his tone, she felt that her psychological defense had been breached.

"Tangtang?"

"Okay..."

Zhu Zhengchu was overjoyed. He walked in front of her, "You really promised me?!"

"Um... But you have to be good to me. If you're not good to me, I'll have my ex-boyfriend beat you up."

Her ex-boyfriend was Ultraman!

Zhu Zhengchu hugged her tightly, "I will definitely be good to you!"

He had never been so excited about a relationship before.

Xiang Yutang whispered, "I'll tell you in advance. I don't want overly intimate behaviors when I'm in a relationship... Kissing and hugging are okay, but other things are not allowed." She was a conservative person at heart.

Zhu Zhengchu didn't care about all that now. He just kept nodding and agreeing, willing to do whatever she said.

Xiang Yutang added, "I'm very serious about relationships. You have to be too."

"Yeah, yeah." Zhu Zhengchu just wanted to confirm their relationship with her quickly now.

Seeing him agree so quickly, Xiang Yutang couldn't help but smile. She just felt indescribably happy. So this was what being in a relationship felt like. It was exactly the same as the heart-pounding feeling described in TV dramas.

Zhu Zhengchu picked her up in a princess carry. Xiang Yutang looked at him nervously, "What are you doing?" Her tone had softened a lot since they started dating.

Zhu Zhengchu smiled, "I don't know why. I just want to hug you."

Zhu Zhengchu put her on the sofa and then reached out to pinch her face.

Xiang Yutang suddenly looked serious, "Master, do you think we'll be drowned in a pig cage like this?"

Zhu Zhengchu smiled, "What pig cage drowning? What era is this now? Don't call me Master anymore. Just call me by my name."

Xiang Yutang touched her chin, "But once a teacher, always a father. Oh my god, I'm with my father."

Zhu Zhengchu twitched the corner of his mouth. Could they not talk about such a mood-killing topic during this sweet time just after they confirmed their relationship?

He quickly changed the topic.

"Tangtang, you can't tell others about our relationship casually, okay? This is how the entertainment industry is. I'm not afraid of anything myself, but I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you." Zhu Zhengchu was already at the boss level now and didn't care about his reputation collapsing. But Xiang Yutang was still on the rise, which was very important.

Xiang Yutang nodded, "I know. I won't tell others casually and I'll also be careful when we're outside." She wasn't afraid of her reputation collapsing. Anyway, she just joined the entertainment industry for fun. But she had to consider Zhu Zhengchu.

Both of them were thinking about each other, but the other didn't know.

"But it's okay for you to tell Zhuo Ziyu. I'm just afraid Zhuo Ziyu doesn't like me very much." Zhu Zhengchu could tell from Zhuo Ziyu's reaction that she didn't like him very much, or rather, she just didn't like him being with Xiang Yutang.

Xiang Yutang looked confused, "No way. Ziyu thinks you're pretty good."

"Maybe she thinks I'm not good enough for her best friend." Zhu Zhengchu helped her brush away the stray bangs on her forehead.

Xiang Yutang said shyly, "No way."

The two of them lingered in Zhu Zhengchu's dorm for quite a while before Zhu Zhengchu sent her back to her dorm.

"You can just stay downstairs. I'll go up by myself. There are cameras up there. It won't be good if we're photographed later."

"It doesn't matter. I'll have someone cut them off." Although he knew that nothing would happen on this short stretch of road, Zhu Zhengchu inexplicably wanted to send her to the dormitory door.

But Xiang Yutang was also inexplicably insistent, "No, thanks. I'll go back by myself. Bye!"

Xiang Yutang ran upstairs in a flash, leaving Zhu Zhengchu standing there looking at her helplessly.

After Xiang Yutang entered the dormitory building, she skipped all the way. She couldn't hide her smile.

She was in a relationship! She was in a relationship!

So this was what being in a relationship felt like. It was so wonderful! It was so great!

She ran into the dormitory excitedly. Zhuo Ziyu had just finished taking a shower and was drying her hair.

"Where did you go? I was just looking for you." After some thinking while taking a shower, Zhuo Ziyu had already figured out how to persuade Xiang Yutang to get over her feelings for Zhu Zhengchu.

Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Xiang Yutang ran up and hugged her. She said excitedly, "I'm in a relationship!"

Zhuo Ziyu's heart sank, "What? Who are you in a relationship with? Are you joking?"

Xiang Yutang continued excitedly, "Of course it's with Master! He came to find me just now and confessed his feelings to me! I still don't feel it's real. I'm so afraid I'm dreaming. Wuwu. Touch me. Am I dreaming?"

Seeing her smiling so happily, Zhuo Ziyu had no choice but to smile with her, but she couldn't help worrying inside.

"Tangtang, don't joke. Tell me seriously. Are you really together?"

"Of course it's true! I can't believe it either. Hehe."

Zhuo Ziyu said, "But didn't you say before that if you were to be in a relationship with someone, you would at least have to know him for more than three years to make sure he's okay?"

"I didn't expect it either... As soon as he confessed his feelings to me, I couldn't help but agree to him. Am I really useless? Hehe, but it feels really good!"
