Chapter 1793: Chapter 663: Lin Shuwan’s Pleasant Surprise

He approached her from behind as he spoke.

"Remember, the ultimate secret of sword skill is to attack the opponent’s weakest spot using the shortest path. So don’t be surprised that those masters wielding swords only use chopping and slashing; in fact, these two moves are the most practical."

Aisha nodded thoughtfully.

In the following half hour, Zhang Jingdong taught Aisha some sword skills, and also shared some knowledge about sticks and staffs.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the teaching in a special environment. Reward: 2 million yuan!"

It’s hard to deny that giving a class to a top-tier beauty who wields a sword is an entirely different experience.

...

Around 9 o’clock, Xiao Fei and the others got up one after another.

After they finished washing up, Zhang Jingdong took them to have breakfast and then continued on the road.

There were still seven hours of driving to Jinling, so everyone cherished this part of the journey.

Lin Shishi’s enthusiasm for learning was unusually intense.

With her leading, Xiao Fei and the other three were also eager for knowledge.

Thus, Zhang Jingdong was meticulous throughout this journey.

At noon, they stopped at a service area to eat something, then continued their journey.

At 3 PM, they arrived in Jinling.

Lin Shishi didn’t rush home but instead played the part of a tour guide, taking them around for a tour.

Zhang Jingdong had been to Jinling twice in his previous life for business trips, and he came and went in a hurry, not seeing or playing with anything.

This time, after a brief tour, he suddenly understood why Jinling is often mentioned alongside Beijing as the two major cultural capitals of the north and south; the historical and cultural atmosphere here is truly profound.

Standing on the old city wall, Zhang Jingdong admired the scenery for a while, then turned to Lin Shishi: "Wow, it truly is the environment that fosters such people. Only a sacred place like Jinling can produce an outstanding beauty like yourself."

Lin Shishi felt a surge of delight mixed with embarrassment from the praise: "Well, it’s rare that you’re in my hometown, so feel free to flatter me."

Zhang Jingdong immediately grinned and leaned in to plant a firm kiss on Lin Shishi’s pretty face.

The surrounding men, instantly filled with various types of envy.

At around 7 PM, they descended the city wall and went to a renowned duck roasting restaurant.

Because of Aisha, a foodie beauty, Zhang Jingdong directly ordered five roasted ducks, which drew amazement from the other patrons who were already eyeing them due to the four stunning beauties including Lin Shishi.

When they saw Aisha’s elegant yet cool eating manner, they were instantly astounded!

Zhang Jingdong praised, "No wonder there’s a rumor that Jinling Roasted Duck is the ancestor of roasted duck; the taste is really good!"

Lin Shishi sweetly said, "When I was little, I didn’t like eating roasted duck, but my dad told me that when I hit my teenage years, I’d like it."

"I didn’t believe him at the time, but when I reached my teenage years, my dad took me here again, and I surprisingly started to love eating roasted duck."

Xiao Fei immediately chimed in, "I have a similar experience. For instance, when I was a child, I couldn’t eat fennel, finding it tasted bitter, but when I reached my teenage years, I suddenly loved eating fennel-stuffed dumplings."

Zhang Jingdong explained, "There’s actually a scientific reason behind this, probably two points."

"The first point is that our taste buds are very rich when we are young, reaching ten thousand, so we are very sensitive to bitter and salty flavors."

"And when we reach adulthood, the number of taste buds decreases, making us less sensitive to bitter and salty flavors, so things that we thought didn’t taste good suddenly feel delicious."

"The second point is that our sense of smell becomes more sensitive with age, allowing us to more delicately perceive the deep flavors of food."

Lin Shishi and the other three suddenly realized, all giving Zhang Jingdong a thumbs-up.

Beside them, Aisha hurriedly swallowed the duck meat in her mouth and also gave Zhang Jingdong a thumbs-up.

At almost 9 o’clock, they finished their meal, tidied up, and left the duck restaurant.

Once in the car, Zhang Jingdong asked, "Which community is your home in?"

Lin Shishi paused for a moment and replied, "Shimao Garden."

Zhang Jingdong restarted the car, performed some neat maneuvers, and quickly disappeared from the original spot.

Half an hour later, the black Land Rover slowly stopped near the entrance of Shimao Garden.

After saying their goodbyes to Lin Shishi, Zhang Jingdong said, "You guys wait in the car for a while, I’ll walk Lin Shishi inside."

Although Xiao Fei and Lu Zhining both sensed something, especially Lu Zhining, as she had just been with Zhang Jingdong in her bedroom yesterday, they both simply nodded.

Xiao Fei even added, "Alright, no rush."

Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, then got out of the car with Lin Shishi.

He went to the back to get Lin Shishi’s luggage and then walked alongside her into the community.

Zhang Jingdong said, "We’ll leave tomorrow afternoon; if you have time in the morning, feel free to come find us."

Just now, with Xiao Fei and the others around, Lin Shishi couldn’t show her real emotions, but upon hearing this, she seemed reluctant: "It’s rare to be here, aren’t you going to stay for a few more days?"

Zhang Jingdong took her slender hand: "There’s a bit of business that needs handling, to be honest, if it weren’t for bringing you home, I wouldn’t even have time for these two days."

"But no worries, we’ll meet again in at most two weeks,"

Lin Shishi bit her lip, hesitating to speak.

Seeing this, Zhang Jingdong promptly said, "Haha, what? Realizing now you’ve become completely reliant on me?"

Lin Shishi habitually wanted to deny it, but somehow, when it reached her lips, it turned into: "...Mm."

Zhang Jingdong instantly became utterly delighted and leaned in to kiss her lightly on the lips.

"That ’Mm’ is sweeter than ten thousand words of affection."
