Chapter 408 - Ziming, it is your turn to call me Ge Ge!
“Zi-Ziming…”
Pei Ge felt her heart skip a thump the moment she spoke his name. Her cheeks also involuntarily heated up.
She had never known that simply saying someone’s name could make one this nervous and shy.
This feeling was something she had never experienced even when she was with Zhou Zhuoyang.
After calling the man’s name, she immediately lowered her head, afraid to meet his eyes.
Ji Ziming himself was in no better state.
While his cheeks did not heat up like hers did, his ears turned a light pink shade and were threatening to turn redder.
“Cough, cough!” He coughed to hide the awkwardness he felt, forcing his sight away from her.
“Okay, you’ve got the hang of it now,” he coolly evaluated.
At his apathetic remark, she, whose heart had been pounding crazily from utter shyness of saying such a line, also returned to her senses. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head.
Pei Ge, what are you being shy for?! Your relationship is fake. Your only reason for calling him this intimately is that it is a work requirement! Be calm! Don’t throw your face away!
Thinking of this, she felt her heart subside from her cheeks.
“Mhm.” She nodded. “I’m more used to it now.”
Immediately after saying this, she recalled that, since she already had an intimate way of calling him, he should have a pet name for her, right?
She was suddenly really curious.
“Since I’m going to address you this way from now on, what about you? What will you call me from now on?”
The man froze.
What will I call her…
Noticing his sudden dazedness, she grew more curious of what term of endearment he would address her.
If we are pretending to be intimate, this annoying fellow should call me ‘Ge Ge’, right?
“Pei Ge, Pei Ge,” he uttered twice. “I’ll just call you Pei Ge.”
“Huh? ‘Pei Ge’? That is so not couple-like. You should at least call me ‘Ge Ge’!” She accidentally spoke her real thoughts out.
