Chapter 76 His Weakness and Ease
Lu Jin refused to admit that he had agreed to her request for that provocative gift, which Xia Zhen resented.
Around 7 p.m., there was a knock on the Lu family's door.
Lu Jin opened the door and saw the girl, who was still fuming.
She was carrying a lot of things, and her first words to him were, "I didn't hear you wrong."
The girl pursed her lips tightly, her face scrunched up, but her eyes were fixed on him, making her look just like a pufferfish about to explode.
Lu Jin chuckled. He hadn't expected her to be so particular about these strange questions. If he didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she definitely wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
So he said helplessly, "Yes, you heard me right."
Xia Zhen was overjoyed in an instant, "I knew it! I must have heard correctly!"
Lu Jin pulled her into the house, closed the door, and then whispered to her, "Zhenzhen, come here."
Xia Zhen bent down and leaned closer. He reached out and cupped her face in his hands, and then a light kiss landed on her lips.
Xia Zhen glared at him, "Is this how you try to coax me?"
His fingertips gently caressed the girl's smooth skin, and a smile lingered in her pale eyes. "So, how should I coax her?"
Xia Zhen blinked. "I can eat an extra piece of chocolate every day."
"no."
She looked at him unhappily.
Lu Jin was a man of principle and wouldn't soften so easily. He took her hand and said, "Come here."
Xia Zhen was led to the sofa by him. She put down everything she was carrying, including a lot of school supplies and of course, the pink thermos.
This pink thermos isn't alone, because there's a blue thermos next to it.
Xia Zhen sat on the sofa, pointed to two thermos cups placed together, and said childishly, "Lu Jin, don't they look like a pair?"
Lu Jin echoed her, "Yes, it does."
Xia Zhen leaned closer to him, raising her pretty little face with a bright smile, "Just like us, right?"
He pinched her cheek and chuckled softly, "Yes."
Xia Zhen liked his unprincipled way of always going along with her. She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her face, then squinted and rubbed it against him, like a lazy and content kitten.
Lu Jin's heart softened completely, and he lowered his head to kiss her.
Xia Zhen shook his hand and asked, "Where's Xiaobai?"
She used to always dislike that little white cat because it could always be so close to Lu Jin, but now that she hasn't seen it, she actually misses it a little.
Lu Jin said, "Xiao Bai is asleep in the room."
The little white cat, locked in the bedroom, lay on the floor. It seemed to sense something and raised its head. "Meow?"
Xia Zhen said, "That fat cat is getting fatter and fatter. It eats and sleeps all day long. That won't do."
Lu Jin nodded, "I'll be more careful to feed it less food in the future."
The little white cat, chewing on its blanket in the bedroom, looked up again, "Meow?"
Xia Zhen quietly asked him, "So, how late can I stay today?"
She was afraid that Lu Jin's mother's return would cause trouble for Lu Jin.
Lu Jin quietly replied, "It doesn't matter how late."
Xia Zhen was surprised, "As late as you want?"
Lu Jin couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, you can stay as long as you want."
Hao Hui was previously taken to the police station and was forcibly placed in a psychologist's office. She will not be able to return until she is deemed mentally healthy and will not harm others.
Naturally, during these days, Hao Hui's superiors also came to visit Lu Jin, who was alone at home.
Lu Huiming is away and can't come back, Lu Ci has had an accident, and Hao Hui's mental state is worrying. However, Lu Jin refused the help of these uncles and aunts. Even though he is in a wheelchair, he can still live on.
The uncles and aunts left with tears in their eyes. They never imagined that the child Hao Hui had described as someone who would exploit her parents' suffering would be so strong and sensible.
Hao Hui, perhaps blinded by greed, spoke of Lu Ci as a chosen one, while devaluing Lu Jin to nothing.
It's another story when Hao Hui discovered her reputation had soured after the work was completed.
Xia Zhen didn't specifically ask why Hao Hui wasn't going home. She couldn't hide her excitement and tugged at his sleeve, "Do you still stand by what you said before?"
Which sentence?
"It's what you said, if I behave well, you'll give me a few more kisses."
Lu Jin opened a notebook containing his own notes. He was very generous, saying, "If you can learn these today, then I'll definitely keep my word."
As it turns out, Xia Zhen wasn't stupid at all; she just hadn't met a kind person who could unleash her potential!
She has always been a quick learner, but because she didn't have any pressure before, she only required herself to know seven or eight tenths of what she was taught.
But things are different now; she has to try her best to keep up with him.
After what seemed like an eternity, Xiaobai finally managed to squeeze out through the crack in the door that wasn't fully closed.
The rumor that cats are "liquid animals" is probably true; no matter how fat they are, they can still nimbly squeeze themselves out of any gap.
"Meow?" Xiaobai stood under the sofa, looking at the boy and girl who were pressed together on the sofa, completely puzzled.
After a long time, it seemed to understand that its master was being bullied by a girl. This girl was terrifying; she even showed off her snow-white teeth!
Its owner was too weak. Not only were its legs pinned down by that female tyrant, but the female tyrant's claws were also pressing down on its owner's chest. Its poor, weak, and easily bullied owner was completely unable to resist the female tyrant pressing down on it!
Although the little white cat felt that its owner had changed his mind recently, he was still its human, and it couldn't just stand by and watch him die!
The little white cat mustered its courage, its already chubby body tensed, and then, with a leap of its hind legs, it jumped directly towards the sofa with a death-defying spirit.
In an instant, the boy raised his hand and grabbed the little white cat by the scruff of its neck.
"Meow?"
The kitten was dangling in mid-air. Before it could even react, it was mercilessly thrown out and landed on the soft carpet, its vision blurring.
Xia Zhen heard a strange noise, and she looked up and said, "I think I heard Xiao Bai's voice."
The boy's pale lips were glistening with moisture, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "You misheard me."
He pressed his hand against the back of the girl's head, pulling her back towards him.
The little white cat lay back down on the ground, feeling dizzy.
Its sincere feelings were ultimately misplaced!
