Chapter 175 Repaying Evil with Kindness
This was Lu Jin's first time here since he got the apartment key. He was actually a little worried that Lu Qi might be up to something again. Fortunately, the apartment was clean and tidy, and he couldn't see any hidden dangers.
Great, it seems that for now, all he needs to do is guard against the girls around him playing any tricks.
The next instant, Lu Jin raised her hand and stopped the girl who was about to rush over and kiss her.
Xia Zhen was grabbed by the shoulder, preventing her from moving forward. She could only look at him with dissatisfaction, "What do you mean?"
Lu Jin remained calm. "The bedroom is over here. You should get some rest."
He took her hand and led her to the bedroom door.
Xia Zhen's eyes darted around, and she opened her arms to him again, "A goodnight kiss before bed."
Lu Jin did not move.
Xia Zhen said, feeling wronged, "What's wrong with you? You won't let me hug you or kiss you. Don't you like me anymore?"
Lu Jin: "No."
Xia Zhen accused, "Then why are you so cold to me?"
He pursed his lips slightly, finally yielding and bending down, but he only kissed the corner of her lips before quickly pulling away, "Zhenzhen, goodnight."
Xia Zhen was pushed into the room, and then the door was closed from the outside.
She stood there blankly, staring at the closed door, speechless. Before, he would always call her "Zhenzhen" whenever he kissed or hugged her, but now he treated her like a monster.
But it's okay.
Xia Zhen looked at the large bed in the room and slowly smiled. You need to be well-rested to have the energy to work hard.
Time ticked by, and there was no sound coming from the room; she must be asleep.
Lu Jin sat stiffly on the sofa. After a long while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't think he had good self-control. If she was really determined to seduce him, he might not have been able to resist.
Lu Jin had always liked to call Xia Zhen "Little Yellow Man," but when he was in a room with the girl he liked and no one else was around, his mind was filled with more and more lewd thoughts.
Lu Jin took out his phone to distract himself. He studied computer science because he had already done his research before filling out his application. Although the market was saturated, the potential for growth was still very high.
He previously lacked knowledge in this area, so he privately bought some related books or looked up relevant information on his phone, which will definitely benefit his future studies.
This is indeed a good way to distract yourself.
When Lu Jin realized it was dark outside, he glanced at the time on his phone; it was already 7 p.m.
He looked at the tightly closed door, hesitating for a moment whether he should go and check if she was awake or not.
Are you hungry?
Or is she angry because of his coldness?
Like a young man newly in love, Lu Jin became anxious and insecure. After thinking for a long time, he sent a message on his phone: "Zhenzhen, are you awake?"
A long time passed, but there was still no reply.
Lu Jin leaned back on the sofa, sighed slightly in frustration, and waited silently for a long time. Half an hour later, he cautiously sent another message: [Zhenzhen, are you hungry?]
Similarly, no one replied.
Lu Jin was now certain that she was indeed throwing a tantrum at him.
He opened his browser, about to search for what to do when his girlfriend is angry, when his phone vibrated and he received a message from her.
[Lu Jin, what is this?]
A photo followed immediately; it was of a small box with the word "durex" printed on it in large print.
Lu Jin had never seen anything like this before; it was definitely outside his area of knowledge. However, there was a string of small English letters on the box—"love sex".
He had a bad feeling. He searched on his phone's browser and the results matched his guess. His throat tightened slightly. He got up, walked to the door, pushed it open, and went straight in.
Xia Zhen was sitting on the bed with her long hair down. Today she was wearing a white dress. Her hair was black and her skin was fair. She looked up at him with a blank expression, pure and innocent, as if she should not be tainted by the world.
But right in front of her was that small box.
Lu Jin felt a burning sensation behind his ears. He walked over, picked up the box, but didn't know where to throw it. For a moment, he felt a burning pain in his hands.
Xia Zhen seemed oblivious to his helplessness. She asked, with a mixture of curiosity and concern, "Lu Jin, what's wrong?"
"I...it's nothing." Lu Jin asked awkwardly, "Where did this come from?"
Xia Zhen pointed to the open bedside table, "I found it inside."
Lu Qi!
Who else but him would do something so pointless!
That old geezer who loves to watch the drama unfold!
Lu Qi, who was working overtime at the company, suddenly sneezed.
The assistant asked with concern, "Has Chairman Lu caught a cold?"
"Probably not." Lu Qi rubbed his nose. "I remember there's a saying that if you sneeze, it means someone is thinking of you. Maybe it's someone thinking of me."
The assistant silently thought to himself, "Two sneezes mean someone misses you; one sneeze means someone is cursing you behind your back."
Lu Qi reached out, and his assistant quickly handed him the prepared ice pack.
The usually elegant Chairman Lu was seen holding an ice pack to his left eye, which was bruised and swollen. While his posture was elegant, it was hard to ignore the fact that he was injured.
The assistant asked cautiously, "How did Chairman Lu get injured?"
Lu Qi said calmly, "I got punched."
The assistant immediately became indignant, "Who is so lawless! Mr. Lu, have you called the police? Do you need us to take action?"
"No need." Lu Qi smiled, like a saintly father who repays evil with kindness, his whole body shining. "I'm not such a petty person, Assistant Yin. People will always go astray because of momentary misunderstandings. What we should do is not to seek revenge, but to give him a chance to correct his mistakes."
Assistant Yin sighed with exasperation, "Chairman Lu, you're just too kind! You'll get hurt doing this!"
Lu Qi smiled amiably, "Suffering a loss is a blessing in disguise."
After leaving the chairman's office, Assistant Yin still felt increasingly resentful for his boss. He sent a message to his old classmate: "Doesn't your boss often hang out with my boss? Do you know about my boss's injury?"
Shortly after, a reply came in: "[Understood.]"
Assistant Yin: [What exactly happened? You have no idea my boss has a black eye and is seriously injured, yet he doesn't even care. I feel so sorry for him!]
The reply was: "Of course he doesn't need to care."
Assistant Yin: [Huh? Why?]
Assistant An: [Because my boss came to work today using crutches.]
