Chapter 73 She is weak and easily bullied
Meanwhile, Xia Zhen was curled up on her sofa at home, scrolling through Weibo. Not only that, she was also holding a Want Want Shaved Ice in her hand while looking at her phone.
When Xia Yu returned, he saw Xia Zhen looking completely unrefined. He frowned and said, "Look at you now, where do you look like a girl?"
Xia Zhen reluctantly sat up straight, but she still forced a smile on her face, "Dad, you've gotten justice for me from the Song family."
"Hmm." Xia Yu walked over and ruthlessly snatched the Want Want Shaved Ice from Xia Zhen's hand. "It's only 29 degrees Celsius, why are you eating ice?"
After saying that, he accurately threw the item into the trash can two meters away.
I don't know how many times he's done this, but his movements seem very practiced.
Xia Zhen felt heartbroken that she had only taken two sips of the crushed ice. If it weren't for the fact that Old Man Xia was her benefactor, she would definitely have thrown a tantrum!
But Xia Zhen's eyes lit up, and she quickly realized that she didn't need to care. She looked at her phone and clicked on a trending topic.
Xia Yu sat down next to her and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
Xia Zhen said, "I ate it."
Thinking about how she had to maintain the persona of being wronged by Song Heng, Xia Zhen looked up with a bitter expression and said, "I didn't eat much. I was in a bad mood and couldn't eat."
Xia Yu gave a curt "hmm".
If he doesn't eat with her, does that mean she can't even eat?
This daughter is far too dependent on others; she's a real problem.
Xia Yu cleared his throat. "That hot pot restaurant we went to last time was pretty good. I'll take you there..."
The news interview coming from the phone interrupted Xia Yu's words.
"I heard that Actress Wen has confirmed her role in the movie 'Beauty of the City.' The director of this movie, Long Tao, is known for his love of filming passionate scenes, and it's said that there will be some explicit scenes in the movie. Don't you mind?"
Xia Yu shut his mouth and listened silently to the sounds coming from Xia Zhen's phone.
Xia Zhen thoughtfully turned the volume up to the maximum.
The woman's pleasant voice came through with a laugh, "I don't mind at all. Director Long told me that from the male lead to the sixth male lead, we absolutely have to find the most handsome young men in the industry to play them. I can't lose out no matter how you look at it."
Xia Zhen's phone was stolen.
Xia Yu frowned deeply, his eyes fixed on the woman on the screen who had a bright, charming smile.
"Besides, this is also a way to portray a character. As an actor, one should bring out the soul of the character to the greatest extent possible. If the so-called large-scale scenes you mentioned can make the plot more perfect and the characters more three-dimensional, I can't think of any reason to refuse."
A vein bulged on Xia Yu's forehead.
With a "crack," the phone screen shattered.
Xia Zhen cried out in surprise, "My phone!"
She lunged forward and snatched her phone back. Xia Yu had already gotten up and left, taking out his own phone to call his assistant.
"Get me a few men to put that director named Long Tao in a sack and beat him up!"
The assistant panicked, stammering, "What?! What?! What?!"
Xia Yu probably realized that he had said something illegal. He was silent for a moment, then said, "I want to invest in a movie, and I have to be the biggest investor. You need to come up with a plan for me right away."
Xia Zhen, who was left in the living room, watched as Xia Yu, who had just returned, left again. She took her phone with its cracked screen, ran to the refrigerator, took out a Want Want Shaved Ice, tore open the packaging, and broke the shaved ice into two pieces.
Xia Zhen took a sip of the cool, icy shaved ice and let out a comfortable sigh.
She truly kept her achievements hidden.
Finally, Monday arrived. Xia Zhen took Uncle Zhao's car to school early in the morning. She was still dozing off in the car, but she became energetic after getting off.
Xia Zhen ran into the classroom and, unsurprisingly, saw the boy already sitting in the corner.
As usual, she tidied her hair with composure before slowly walking over and sitting down beside the boy, under his gaze.
Xia Zhen smiled ladylike and said, "Good morning."
Lu Jin replied, "Good morning."
His attitude remained cold and unenthusiastic.
Xia Zhen was about to complain when she heard the boy say, "Come here."
She was sitting a little far away from him.
Xia Zhen quickly moved the stool closer to him, and then she felt her hand being held. It was late autumn, and the morning was cold. Both of her hands were a little cold, but because he was holding them tightly, she didn't feel cold anymore.
She looked at him with sparkling eyes, but her tone was feignedly aggrieved, "Why are you so cold to me? I've been thinking about you these past two days!"
Lu Jinke wasn't easily swayed by kindness. "Zhenzhen."
She responded with a dissatisfied "Hmm?"
"You are very disobedient."
Xia Zhen glared at him, "Where did I disobey?"
He put her hand in his warm pocket, and then he zipped up her school uniform jacket.
Xia Zhen's eyelids twitched repeatedly.
He said, "I'll catch a cold."
Xia Zhen said unhappily, "I'm perfectly healthy, I don't catch a cold that easily. Okay, okay, stop pulling me up so high!"
She hurriedly grabbed his hand. This man really had the heart of a mother; he was about to pull the zipper all the way up to her neck!
Xia Zhen pulled the zipper down a little further, to the normal neckline, and solemnly said to him, "This is the only height I can accept. Any higher and I'll fight you to the death!"
Lu Jin reluctantly accepted the offer. He couldn't push the young lady too hard, otherwise she would become rebellious and he would have to coax her to be happy.
Xia Zhen took a pink thermos from her schoolbag and placed it on the table. "Besides, I've been paying a lot of attention to health lately. I only drink tea with goji berries and red dates. My health isn't that bad."
She was so young and already talking about health and wellness. Lu Jin's usually cold face immediately cracked, and a hint of amusement crept into his eyes. "Health and wellness?"
"Yes, I even prepared one for you." Xia Zhen took out a blue thermos from her bag. "You have to drink goji berry and red date tea with me from now on. We should take care of our health together."
Her schoolbag really is like Doraemon's magic pocket. Besides books, it also holds snacks, and now it has two thermos cups. I wonder if she has any other strange things in it.
Xia Zhen tugged at his hand. "Didn't we agree before that we would live to be a hundred years old together? So from now on, we need to keep an eye on each other and change our bad habits. Even when we're seventy or eighty, we should still be as loving as we were when we were young."
Did she even realize that what she said was as beautiful as a fairy tale to him?
Lu Jin felt a burning sensation in his chest. He lowered his head and leaned closer to her, whispering, "Okay."
Xia Zhen smiled broadly, brighter than the sun. She pushed the pink thermos towards him and said coquettishly, "Lu Jin, can you open it for me? It's too tight, I can't open it now."
Lu Jin called her, "Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen smiled, her eyes narrowed. "Just say what you want to say."
She was all prepared to hear him say that he liked her even more.
"Don't you get tired carrying such a heavy backpack every day?"
She told the truth, "I'm not tired."
"So, you're actually quite strong, aren't you?"
Xia Zhen was taken aback, then her eyes flashed with a fierce light. "Lu Jin! I'm very weak!"
How could he say that she, who seemed weak and easily bullied, was actually a strong woman!
Lu Jin's brows relaxed as he opened the thermos for her and then whispered to coax her, his voice brimming with undisguised joy and laughter.
On the other side.
The math class representative was pretending to hide his face with a book, deliberately keeping quiet and inconspicuous. He couldn't help but look at his deskmate, who was also hiding his face with a book, and whispered, "Why do I feel like Lu Jin has turned bad?"
The class representative for Chinese language gave him a disdainful look. "You blockhead, what do you know? That's called having fun."
The math class representative felt wronged. "If you scold me, I won't come to school with you this early anymore."
“I didn’t ask you to come with me, so you don’t have to come to school with me tomorrow.”
The math class representative lay on his desk, pitifully trying to comfort himself, then raised his face and said righteously, "If it weren't for the stray dogs that have been appearing on the street lately, and your mom asking me to protect you, I wouldn't be going to school with you."
The Chinese class representative was puzzled. How come she didn't know that there had been stray dogs on the streets recently?
Even if he did, could this weakling protect her?
