Chapter 478 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 30

Lu Jingxun had always known that Jiang Zhiyi was a stubborn and unreasonable person, not very bright, and always unable to think straight.

He had witnessed her stubbornness before and thought he was mentally prepared, but now, when he truly faced her unreasonable behavior, he couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness.

Her unreasonable behavior far exceeded his expectations.

“Your logic is flawed. I can’t carry you because of a leg injury, but that doesn’t mean I’m not sincere. There’s no connection between the two. You can make other reasonable requests.”

Lu Jingxun suppressed his inner irritation, patiently trying to make his tone sound gentle as he attempted to reason with Jiang Zhiyi.

Jiang Zhiyi pouted, "Are you saying my request is unreasonable? What's wrong with your logic? It's perfectly correct! What's the point of carrying it if I wait until your injury heals?"

Lu Jingxun silently pondered her words.

Looking back on their time together, she was just a simple-minded, even somewhat naive, girl. She'd meticulously check what profile pictures people used and what they posted on their WeChat Moments before adding them. Now she's asking him to do things she considers "meaningful"...

He quickly realized that this was what was called "ritual," using small details that seemed touching but were actually useless to create a beautiful illusion of love.

It's just a lie that makes me feel good.

Lu Jingxun suddenly realized.

If that's the case, then things will be much easier.

He adjusted his expression, adopting a gentle demeanor, and said softly, "I know the first day of a relationship is important and needs careful preparation so it can be a lasting memory. I didn't think it through, but I want to be with you today. Today is an auspicious day with a good meaning; it signifies that we will be together for a long time, so we can't wait any longer. I'll make it up to you later, okay? You can have anything you want."

He then took out his phone, saying, "From now on, I'll post your photos on my WeChat Moments. I'll use whatever profile picture you tell me to use..."

He responded to each of her previous remarks.

Compared to asking for money or resources, dating her only requires doing some trivial things, it couldn't be simpler.

He even felt that as long as he went along with her restless and mischievous nature, he could keep the relationship firmly in his grasp.

However, Jiang Zhiyi merely blinked, her face unmoved, and said coldly, "These are all excuses. These are things you should have done anyway, but now you must meet my requirements. This is the most basic test for you."

She did not compromise for the time being, crossing her arms over her chest, leaning back, her attitude resolute and leaving no room for negotiation.

Lu Jingxun sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness: "My legs can't carry me, what am I supposed to do?"

Jiang Zhiyi raised her voice, "Hmph, you haven't even tried, how do you know you can't carry me? Carrying me won't kill you. To put it bluntly, you just don't want to carry me, you don't care about my feelings at all."

Lu Jingxun's patience was almost completely exhausted at this moment.

Suddenly, I felt a pang of regret. Why did I waste my time on her? She's such a fool who can drive you crazy.

Wouldn't it be better for him to deal with her directly instead of suffering in silence here?

For a fleeting moment, he was ready to change his mind.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that I had already done so much, put in a lot of thought and effort, and it would be hard to give up now.

He had no choice but to suppress his impatience. "Try a different test. If I can do it, I'll definitely agree."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Jiang Zhi remained silent for a moment before finally relenting: "Alright then, you don't need to carry me. I'll be worried about you if your leg gets injured again."

When she said this, her tone was gentle, and her face showed concern. At first glance, it seemed as if she was truly worried about Lu Jingxun.

Lu Jingxun's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a little, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Things should finally get back on track.

Before he could fully relax, Jiang Zhiyi abruptly changed the subject: "Right now, take a megaphone to the village entrance and shout three times that you like me, you like me very, very much, and you want to be with me forever. I want everyone to know about us, and they will definitely bless us!"

As she said this, her eyes sparkled, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly in a smug smile, as if she was very satisfied with her idea.

"..."

Lu Jingxun was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open, but he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Almost without hesitation, he quickly replied, "Come on, I'll carry you. Where do you want to go?"

So what if my leg is injured? It will heal eventually. It's just a little painful for a while.

If he were to comply with her second request, the emotional trauma would likely never heal, and it would become something he would regret for the rest of his life.

Lu Jingxun couldn't let her make any more demands. Judging from the current situation, the ideas she came up with would only become more and more outrageous and torturous.

Jiang Zhiyi hummed a few times, "But now I think the idea from before was better..."

She did it on purpose. Now he's begging her to be with him, but his attitude is still so arrogant. Who is he trying to fool? He has to be taught a lesson.

Lu Jingxun forced a smile, "The first one is still the best. I like carrying you on my back, and I'm willing to carry you on my back."

He stepped forward and took her hand, the warmth of his palm gradually transferring to hers.

Jiang Zhiyi's hand trembled slightly as he held it, but she did not pull away.

"Alright." She paused for a moment before giving in. "Then let's go to the greenhouse on the third floor."

Of all the rooms in his house, Jiang Zhiyi's favorite place was the flower room.

The greenhouse has a large, transparent glass roof; once you push open the small wooden door, a rich floral fragrance immediately fills the air.

On both sides are flower stands arranged in a staggered pattern, with various flowers stacked layer upon layer, and ivy hanging down from a hanging basket nearby, its emerald green vines cascading down...

Several rattan chairs surround a round table, where you can sit and watch the stars at night.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxun had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree.

He took a deep breath, slowly squatted down, trying to make his movements appear steady, turned his head to Jiang Zhiyi and said, "Come on up."

Jiang Zhiyi put her hands on his shoulders and leaned her body against him.

He reached back with both hands to support her legs and stood up.

Due to the injury to his leg, Lu Jingxun swayed slightly, feeling a stinging pain in his leg, and beads of sweat slowly appeared on his forehead, but he endured it all.

She was much lighter than he had imagined.

She's always eating, even more so than her younger siblings. I never expected her to be so light; I wonder where all the weight went.

"Watch your step, don't let me fall."

She was whispering in his ear when she suddenly remembered how he had teased her like that day, deliberately speaking close to her ear.

Jiang Zhiyi became interested, tilted her head and gently kissed his ear, saying sweetly, "You're so good."
