Chapter 195 Her, Him?
Although it's the weekend, good students aren't idle.
Lu Jin still needs to do homework. Last time, Professor Xu assigned them homework to write down their own thoughts. After Professor Xu read Lu Jin's homework, he suddenly assigned Lu Jin some additional homework.
This is not making things difficult for him, but rather exploring his potential.
Lu Jin sat in a chair in the study, looking at the laptop screen on the table. His fingers stopped typing, and he seemed to be struggling with how to write the next line of code.
As he pondered, his hand unconsciously stroked the top of the girl's head in his arms; it had become a habit of his.
Xia Zhen also had homework, which was to try to analyze a news article. She finished it a long time ago. When she saw Lu Jin doing his homework, she wanted to stay by his side.
For example, she's sitting on his lap playing on her phone right now, but it's just a passing fancy. Based on previous examples, she usually sits quietly for about ten minutes before she can't help but start fidgeting.
Then, so as not to disturb him, she would go outside and curl up on the sofa to watch videos or read novels.
However, this time Xia Zhen received a phone call, so she kissed him, got off him early, and ran to the living room to answer the call.
The call was from Xia Yu. He said, "I'm going home this afternoon. Do you want me to pick you up?"
Xia Zhen kicked off her slippers and sprawled out on the sofa. She asked lazily, "Didn't Dad say he was going to stay there for a long time? Is everything settled?"
Xia Yu said, "It's solved."
Xia Zhen was surprised. She knew that her father had gone to see her mother, but only a few days later, Xia Yu said that the matter was resolved.
She asked curiously, "Dad, did Mom change her mind?"
"No." Xia Yu was silent for a moment. "She still rejected me."
"Then how do you say it's resolved?"
Xia Yu remained silent for a while, probably because he didn't want to lose face and say these things to his daughter, but he felt that what he needed most right now was to make a statement.
At least Wen Yu needs to realize that he is serious.
So Xia Yu finally spoke up and replied, "I told her all my thoughts, and from now on I will let go of all my burdens and pursue her."
So when he said "the matter is resolved," he meant his personal problem was resolved.
Xia Yu didn't know if it was because of the stimulation from outsiders, or because he had been sick, or because he had seen Wen Yu playing with the child, but his stubborn ideas underwent a complete change, and he suddenly became straightforward.
But without a doubt, even if he admitted defeat first and changed himself, Wen Yu still rejected him.
Xia Yu had no complaints about the result. In fact, when he thought about how many opportunities he had missed to spend time with Wen Yu back then, he knew that it was no wonder that his path was difficult.
But as he said, it's never too late as long as they're alive.
Wen Yu had the right to refuse him because she had no expectations for their marriage.
Xia Yu will not give up because the day he was willing to make a change, his purpose was to let her see hope again.
In a sense, his stubbornness has not changed at all.
Xia Zhen didn't know how to evaluate her parents' ill-fated relationship. Xia Yu and Wen Yu obviously didn't want their child involved in these matters, so all Xia Zhen could do was maintain an objective and neutral attitude.
Xia Zhen changed the subject, "I heard from Uncle An that you are sick. You should go home and rest. You don't need to trouble yourself to pick me up. Dad, I'm all grown up now. I can take care of myself."
Xia Yu didn't press the issue, but before hanging up, he said seriously, "University is a mixed bag. You have to be careful when making friends, especially friends of the opposite sex. Stay away from those white-haired men who seem harmless but are actually up to no good."
His voice sounded very weak, indicating that he was still not fully recovered, but he still had a lot of energy when he made sarcastic remarks.
Xia Zhen nodded perfunctorily at everything Xia Yu said, finally managing to coax Xia Yu into hanging up the phone.
Just after she hung up the phone, someone rolled her over from where she was lying on the sofa. She had barely settled down when someone pressed down on her.
The boy seemed to be racking his brains over his homework and was very tired. He lay lazily on her, his head buried in her neck, his breath filled with her scent.
It was as if he was recharging by her.
Xia Zhen reached out and patted his head. "Is the homework difficult?"
"It was difficult," he uttered softly, nuzzling her face, and then said, "but it's finally finished."
Xia Zhen felt a little itchy, and when she looked up, she saw him staring at her intently, as if waiting for something.
She quickly said, "Lu Jin, you are so amazing! You are the best and smartest person in the world, no one can compare to you!"
He chuckled softly, lowered his head, and kissed the corner of her lips. "Weren't you very interested in your aunt's love life? She replied to my message not long ago."
Xia Zhen was very interested. "What did she say?"
Lu Jin showed her his phone, which displayed his chat history with Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan: [I went to see her, and she asked me if I liked her. I said yes, and then she agreed to date me!]
Xia Zhen looked up. "It's that simple?"
Lu Jin asked, "How difficult do you think it is?"
Not everyone in this world is so indecisive and awkward. If you have feelings for each other, you can give it a try. After all, dating is not marriage. It doesn't matter if you have a few relationships to try and make mistakes.
Xia Zhen thought about it and realized that dating wasn't that difficult. For example, she and Lu Jin recognized each other at first sight, didn't they?
but……
She pointed to the character "她" (she) on the phone screen with a puzzled look. "Did Auntie misspell this character? Shouldn't it be '他' (he/she) with the single-person radical?"
Lu Jin: "I think it should be correct."
Xia Zhen was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth, her eyes practically gleaming with gossip!
Looking at her excited expression, Lu Jin thought to himself that if she knew more, she might be even more excited.
The Lu family has indeed never had a smooth love life, but perhaps Lu Jin set a good precedent, as everyone in the Lu family who started dating after that seemed to have a change of luck.
Lu Yuan walked through the mall, following behind the girl with a sense of helplessness. She dared not get too close, nor dared to stay too far away. Before speaking, she would rehearse her words several times in her mind, and only dared to speak slowly when she felt that there was no problem.
