Chapter 37: Chapter 037 We Are Friends

Jiang Tong continued to shake the teddy bear in her hand, quietly waiting for Bao Nan’s response.

Upon hearing her words, Bao Nan’s eyes brightened, his tone habitually cautious before her, "Is it okay?"

I want this teddy bear...

Is it okay?

"Of course, it’s not something precious anyway."

Jiang Tong smiled and stuffed the teddy bear into Bao Nan’s arms.

Since she had been hugging the teddy bear just now, it still retained her warmth.

Bao Nan curled his fingers slightly, and held the teddy bear in his arms as if it were a treasure.

"Thank you." A rare smile appeared on his face.

"Oh, it’s just a toy, besides, we’re all friends, no need to be so formal."

Jiang Tong waved her hand generously, which was rare for her.

Bao Nan quickly caught the keyword in her sentence.

"Are we friends?"

His well-defined face showed a hint of bewilderment, as if he couldn’t understand her words.

Jiang Tong nodded seriously, "Yes, aren’t we?"

To her, as long as they’re not enemies, they’re friends.

Bao Nan suddenly chuckled softly, "I see. It’s late. I should take my leave. Get some rest."

Don’t tire yourself out, otherwise I’ll feel sorry for you.

"Alright, got it."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Tong, Bao Nan directly returned to his apartment.

Jiang Tong was still lazily leaning against the door, watching his departing figure as if she’d discovered something curious.

Isn’t it curious?

Who would’ve thought that Bao Nan, such a big man, would actually like such cute, soft teddy bears?

Hehe.

Now she’s discovered it, hasn’t she?

Jiang Tong propped her chin with one hand, smiling mischievously.

Just then Xia Qiao called.

"What are you up to? Why are you laughing so mischievously?"

On the other end, Xia Qiao frowned in disdain.

Jiang Tong couldn’t wait to share, "Hey, mate, I’ll tell you something interesting..."

...

As night deepened, a hint of mist emerged in the darkness, while moonlight gently spilled onto the windowsill.

After washing up, Bao Nan changed into loose light gray pajamas.

He sat on the big bed, staring blankly at the teddy bear on it.

He only slowly got up after his hair was almost dry.

He took out his treasured candy box and placed it side by side with the teddy bear.

After ensuring the placement was right, Bao Nan took a photo with his phone and started editing his WeChat moments.

These were all gifts from Tongtong~

After posting the moment, Bao Nan smiled foolishly with satisfaction and placed his phone back on the nightstand.

If someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were here at this moment, they’d surely be shocked to the core.

Whoa!

Why does their esteemed and high-cold Minister Bo look so goofy right now?

Indeed.

Whenever Bao Nan encounters Jiang Tong, he’s absolutely a complete goof.

With the moments posted, Bao Nan put the candy box back into his suit pocket.

Then he climbed into bed and tucked the teddy bear under the covers.

"Tongtong, goodnight."

He gently kissed the teddy bear’s head, his tone tender, his cold eyes filled with deep affection.

Even though no one responded to him, Bao Nan still felt very happy.

Tightly hugging the teddy bear that was only half his arm length, he smiled and soon fell asleep.

That night, he rarely had a dream, a sweet dream.

In the dream, he returned to the winter sports meeting of his first year in high school.

He dreamt of a girl with a high ponytail, whose smile was as bright as sunshine.

And that phrase, "Classmate, do you want some candy?"
