Knowing she was just trying to be mischievous, Lu Zhixing reached out and put his arm around her. Tang Li was startled and dodged away, quickly walking to the door.

"Fourth Brother, get some rest."

They opened the door, adopting a "take it or leave it" attitude.

As Lu Zhi walked to the door, Tang Li subconsciously squatted down.

"I'm tired, weak, and my whole body aches and I need to rest."

Actually, she was afraid that Lu Zhixing would reach out and pin her against the wall again.

Lu Zhixing raised an eyebrow:

"It looks serious. Shall I carry you to bed?"

Tang Li jumped up and stood up straight.

"Fourth Brother, I'm perfectly fine. You should go now. I really need to rest for two hours, or I might die suddenly."

Lu Zhixing stopped teasing her, went out the door, and told her to get some sleep.

Tang Li watched him open the door opposite, and just as he was about to close it, she called out to Lu Zhixing:

"Fourth Brother, I still trust you completely, just like before."

Even if you approach me with ulterior motives.

Even though you have many secrets from me.

On the surface, Lu Zhixing appeared calm and collected, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.

He joked:

"If you can't sleep, Fourth Brother will sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to lull you to sleep."

Tang Li waved his hand and immediately closed the door:

"Goodbye, Fourth Brother."

The moment the door closes, a sense of security returns.

Tang Li fell asleep immediately. What Lu Zhixing said had no effect on her mood at all; on the contrary, it made her sleep very soundly.

She knew in her heart that Lu Zhixing had been as good to her as could be.

If it were any better, I would truly have no way to repay it.

Lu Zhixing didn't close the door for a long time, staring at Tang Li's room door for a long time.

His body, soul, mind, and everything about him told him that he was falling in love with this woman at rocket speed, quickly and completely.

If we are destined not to be able to stay together forever.

Lu Zhixing made up his mind that he would live with a clear conscience and not let their acquaintance go to waste.

The city awakens at dawn.

Tang Li was sleeping soundly.

Zha Zhongqi called her, but no one answered.

She set an alarm before going to bed, but turned off the ringer.

The tremor was not enough to wake her from her dream.

The alarm clock rang several times. She woke up once, turned it off, and thought she would doze off for half a minute. But when she closed her eyes again, it was already 12:30 pm.

Tang Li was so frightened that she quickly sat up in bed and stared blankly at the pile of missed calls and messages on her phone.

Zha Zhongqi went to Lucheng ahead of everyone else.

The Tang family almost called the police.

I haven't been able to get in touch with Tang Li.

Fortunately, Tang Yuan called Lu Zhixing after the meeting, which calmed down his uncle's family.

After Tang Li finished washing up and getting ready, she went out and was greeted by a bunch of red roses wrapped in black paper, which made the gaudy red look very noble.

The flowers were placed at the entrance, and there was a card inside.

Tang Li recognized Lu Zhixing's handwriting at a glance; it read:

Silly boy, remember to wake me up when you wake up.

Tang Li picked up the flowers and went to knock on the door across the street.

"You knew I overslept, why didn't you wake me up?"

As soon as the door opened, Tang Li asked angrily.

Lu Zhixing pulled her inside:

"Have lunch first, then head to the airport. Take a short nap on the plane, and you can have dinner when you arrive in Lucheng. A sumptuous seafood feast awaits you there."

Looking at the table full of food, Tang Li's stomach started growling loudly.

She sat down, eating as she asked:

Why did you suddenly decide to send me flowers?

Lu Zhixing handed her the water glass:

Drink water before meals.

Tang Li took it and gulped down a big mouthful.

"I can't exactly carry these flowers on the plane, can I? It's such a waste to give them to you. You might as well buy some good food to eat on the plane."

Lu Zhixing looked at her tenderly:

Are there any regulations in civil aviation that prohibit bringing flowers on airplanes?

"No." Tang Li obediently shook her head.

Lu Zhixing smiled:

"That's settled then. You hold the flowers, and I'll take your luggage."

As for the reason for sending flowers, Tang Li only asked a couple more questions before Lu Zhixing leaned closer, facing her directly:

"Can't you tell I'm pursuing you?"

Well...

Tang Li burped and lowered his head.

Seeing her silence, Lu Zhixing reached out and patted her head:

"I am indeed pursuing you. In this life, to be chosen firmly by someone you like is a blessing from heaven, which is precious. If we can't be in love with each other, at least we should go crazy for our feelings once, such as loving someone without regard for anything, without considering gains or losses, and without asking for results."

......

Tang Li just wanted to play dead!

She buried her head in her food, smiling sheepishly.

"Fourth Brother, this food smells delicious, and the dishes taste really good. You should try some."

Lu Zhixing opened his mouth:

"Then feed me."

oh.

"Then don't eat!" Tang Li stuffed a mouthful of food into his mouth, quickly filling himself up before wiping his mouth and getting up.

"Fourth Brother, I'm full, I'll be leaving now."

Lu Zhixing casually grabbed her arm:

"What? Now that you know Fourth Brother is pursuing you, you don't even have the courage to look at him?"

Tang Li clutched her stomach and said:

"Fourth Brother, I need to go back to my room to use the restroom. The food outside is okay, but the ingredients are definitely not fresh. It will really give me a stomachache."

Pretending again!

Lu Zhixing sat down, picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth.

"The food was delivered by Xu Ji. She said that your uncle cooked it himself and made your favorite dishes."
