Chapter 104 I Miss You So Much

On the way back.

Xia Zhen was given a box of peach-flavored yogurt. She sipped the yogurt and glanced at Xia Yu, who was driving.

Xia Yu was focused on driving and seemed completely unaware of her gaze.

Xia Zhen simply ignored why her father would specially prepare her favorite yogurt. She contentedly sipped her yogurt while taking out her phone to play.

Xia Yu couldn't hold back any longer. Without looking at him, he said, "I'll take you to the film set in a few days."

Xia Zhen didn't even look up. "I don't want to go to the film set."

A box was thrown into Xia Zhen's arms.

Xia Zhen opened the box, inside was a beautiful diamond necklace. Her eyes lit up, and she said sincerely, "Dad, I want to go!"

Xia Yu gave a haughty and aloof "hmm".

On the day all the exams ended, the class group chat became lively.

People who usually kept a low profile or were too shy to add friends started making moves, and Xia Zhen received more than ten friend requests, which she accepted one by one.

Among the friend requests, there was one person with the original avatar provided by the system, and his name was still the string of numbers given when he created the account.

Xia Zhen seemed to sense something and accepted the friend request. Then, she couldn't wait to send a message: "Whose little cutie are you?"

[From Zhenzhen's family.]

Xia Zhen stared at the four words she received on her phone screen, covered her face and laughed excitedly. Then she sent a video call invitation.

Perhaps because they weren't used to the operation yet, it took quite a while before the video call was connected.

Xia Zhen lay on the bed, her eyes sparkling as she looked at the person on the screen. She smiled adorably and beautifully, and her voice was so sweet it could smack, "Lu Jin, did you miss me?"

The boy on the screen was sitting at his desk. Compared to her lying down, he was sitting upright and extremely serious.

Today he was wearing a white shirt, every button fastened perfectly, exuding a restrained and aloof air. Yet, this seemingly indifferent young man's eyes shone with a warmth that could melt the entire spring when he saw her.

He said, "I miss you."

She wondered if it was because the video had a built-in filter, but she thought he looked even better!

Xia Zhen cupped her face in one hand, her eyes crinkling with laughter, her smugness practically bursting out. "You like me that much?"

Yes, that's how much I like you.

Xia Zhen had always considered herself a straightforward person, but when the boy actually delivered that direct attack, she felt her little heart couldn't take it.

She buried her head in the blanket.

Lu Jin's soft laughter came from behind, "Zhenzhen, I want to see you."

Xia Zhen looked up again, her face still flushed, adding to her allure and making her very attractive. "Lu Jin, when did you buy this phone?"

Not long ago.

"Am I the first person you added?"

"yes."

Xia Zhen was satisfied. She lay on the bed, propped her chin up with one hand, and raised both legs, looking at him with a bright smile. She was in a good mood. "Lu Jin, you have to pin me to the top of your contacts."

Lu Jin said softly, "Okay."

However, he had just gotten the phone, which was a new thing for him, and he still needed to learn how to use it.

He got a cell phone, but she was actually happier than him.

Xia Zhen had considered that if Lu Jin had a cell phone, they could contact each other more often. However, Lu Jin was short of money at the time, and Xia Zhen couldn't just give him a cell phone out of the blue. She didn't want to hurt his pride, so she never mentioned the cell phone.

Lu Jin always gets what he wants through his own efforts. For example, the money he used to buy the phone was money he earned in the last few days by processing some simple documents for Lu Qi.

Lu Jin knew that Lu Qi wanted to mentor him, and of course he wouldn't refuse. He was also very clear that he needed more strength and more resources. Only when he had a higher status and more say could he reduce the obstacles to being with Xia Zhen in the future.

Xia Zhen sat up, holding her phone. When she smiled, her eyes curved into cute crescent moons. "Lu Jin, I've realized I like you even more now."

"I like it more, how much do I like it more?"

"A little more than yesterday, a little less than tomorrow." Xia Zhen tilted her head, her long, flowing hair cascading down her back like a waterfall, the ends swaying gently. "In short, I just really like you."

He never imagined that someone could so easily break his heart with just a few words; this feeling was almost addictive.

Lu Jin lightly touched the screen, but the screen was cold, a stark contrast to the feeling of touching the girl.

The joy in his eyes slowly transformed into an inescapable longing.

The boy said in a hoarse voice, "Zhenzhen."

"Um?"

"I miss you so much," he said. "I really, really miss you."

This is a sentence without any embellishment, conveying his truest thoughts so directly.

It was exceptionally moving.

Xia Zhen's smile softened considerably. She reached out and gently poked the person on the screen, her dark eyes sparkling. "Lu Jin, my dad said I should repay kindness. Let's go to the amusement park tomorrow night."

He chuckled and said, "Okay."

Lu Jin's daily routine has always been very regular, but today it was already 10:30 and the light in his room was still on.

After Lu Jin gently said goodnight to the person in the video, and the person on the other end of the video chat, the man leaning against the door seemed to say with a hint of resentment, "You haven't said this much to me in three days, but you talk a lot when chatting with young girls."

Lu Jin glanced at his phone and replied dismissively, "What's up?"

Lu Qi placed a plate of sliced ​​fruit on the desk. "I was worried you might get hungry while you're on a date tonight, so I brought you something to eat."

Lu Jin calmly said, "Thank you."

Lu Qi watched as Lu Jin tapped around in his phone's contacts and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"How to pin it to the top."

Lu Qi glanced at it and said, "You only have this one contact, and you still need to pin it?"

"Um."

Hmm what?

Lu Qi looked at Lu Jin with suspicion.

Has this guy gone crazy from being in love?

Unlike when he was dating back then...

Lu Qi recalled how he had almost burned down the kitchen while trying to cook a boiled fish dish for his lover, just like a naive young man back then. He chose to treat Lu Jin gently and refrained from criticizing the boy for being so impulsive.

After all, who hasn't been young before?

Lu Qi said, "Let's add each other as friends."

Lu Jin: "No."

Lu Qi: "..."

This child is so cold and heartless towards his father, I really don't know who he takes after.
