Chapter 107 Gentlemanly Demeanor
Sitting on the Ferris wheel, you can see the beautiful night view of the amusement park.
Xia Zhen wasn't interested in the scenery. Instead, she was holding an ice cream cone and would occasionally glance at the person next to her.
Lu Jin caught her gaze, leaned down, and brought his face close to hers. "What's wrong?"
Perhaps it was the allure of the night, but the white-haired boy seemed exceptionally charming as he spoke to her from such close proximity.
Even her lowered voice carried a unique allure.
He asked her, "Isn't the ice cream delicious?"
She brought the ice cream to his lips, saying, "Try it."
He lowered his head, tasting the flavor of her lips. "Strawberry flavor, don't you like it anymore?"
Xia Zhen looked at him with the eyes of someone who had discovered a new continent, her eyes sparkling with joy and excitement, "Lu Jin, you've been corrupted by me!"
He chuckled softly, "Why don't you just say that I've learned to be smarter from you?"
"You can't say that, after all, you're smarter than me."
She is quite self-aware.
Lu Jin put his arm around the girl's waist. "Zhenzhen, when you have something on your mind, don't hide it from me."
She pursed her lips, and finally asked the question that had been on her mind for a long time, "You really don't remember Tang Susu?"
She looked up at him, her dark eyes filled with worry and unease. "I know, you injured your leg when you were a child saving her."
It was precisely because he was injured that Hao Hui and the others received a large sum of compensation, which was also the down payment for their school district house.
Lu Jin took one of her hands and gently stroked it. "It would be a lie to say you don't remember."
She looked at him expectantly, "Then why did you lie?"
"I don't want to have anything to do with her."
"Really?" Xia Zhen asked skeptically. "Aren't you really afraid she'll feel guilty about what happened to you?"
Lu Jin pinched her cheek. "What are you thinking? She has no use to me, and I won't waste my time on her."
Yes, in his view, spending time and effort to evoke a certain emotion in someone is always for the purpose of achieving a certain goal.
For example, Lu Ci's indifference towards him has now left him lying in a hospital bed, unable to move.
For example, Hao Hui suffered a mental breakdown. She was emotionally tense day and night, which tormented her to the point of exhaustion.
Take Xia Zhen for example. He only had one goal: to make her love him even more.
Lu Jin knew he wasn't a good person; he was far from being upright and honorable. He was despicable and shameless, which made him even clearer that he couldn't lose her.
He gazed into the girl's puzzled eyes, lowered his head, and pressed his forehead against hers. He said in a low voice, "If you don't like her, I won't give her any chance to have anything to do with me."
This is the reason why he doesn't admit to knowing Tang Susu.
In the past, if it weren't for Xia Zhen, he might have deliberately played the victim in front of Tang Susu to evoke her guilt and sympathy, so that he could get rid of the Lu family.
Xia Zhen buried her face in his chest, "Lu Jin, you're so good to me!"
Lu Jin reminded her, "The ice cream is about to melt."
She said, "But I want to hold you in both arms."
He took the ice cream from her hand, and she was then able to fully reach out and hug his lean waist.
Lu Jin fed her a bite of ice cream, and seeing her lick her lips like a kitten, his eyes darkened. "Who is that person next to Tang Susu?"
"That person is Song Heng, the eldest young master of the Song family."
Have you known him for a long time?
"Yes, we've known each other since before we started kindergarten."
Lu Jin nodded knowingly, "Childhood sweethearts, innocent and carefree since childhood."
Xia Zhen suddenly felt a bit cold while eating the ice cream. With a strong survival instinct, she cleared her throat and said, "What childhood sweethearts, innocent and inseparable? He hates me. The person he likes is Tang Susu. You don't know, his family doesn't want him to associate with Tang Susu. He'd rather fall out with his family than give up on pursuing Tang Susu."
"His family doesn't want him to associate with Tang Susu, so who do they want him to associate with?"
Xia Zhen remained calm and composed, saying, "How would I know? I'm not familiar with him at all."
Lu Jin then brought the ice cream to her lips.
Xia Zhen took a bite of the icy-cold ice cream and thought to herself how clever she was.
When the Song family approached your father about the engagement, did your father agree?
“My dad was initially interested, but then he…” Xia Zhen realized something, shut her mouth, and looked cautiously at the white-haired boy in front of her.
Lu Jin said calmly, "So it turns out that the Song family really did have your eye on you."
Xia Zhen: "..."
What's going on?!
He's so good at getting information out of people!
Lu Jin asked her, "Have you held hands?"
Xia Zhen: "No."
"to be honest."
"Okay, just once, in kindergarten. I was playing the butterfly and he was playing the little red flower, but back then I was also holding the hands of the little white flower and the little yellow flower!"
"Are they all boys?"
She swallowed hard. "Mmm."
"Zhenzhen, you have such a good memory. You still remember things from kindergarten so clearly."
Xia Zhen coughed awkwardly, "So-so, so-so."
Her throat was a little dry, and just as she was about to take another bite of ice cream, he withdrew his hand.
Xia Zhen watched helplessly as he took a bite out of the remaining ice cream, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
The aloof young man said slowly, "I never held a girl's hand when I was in kindergarten."
He took another bite of ice cream and added, "There aren't any boys either."
So she was the first person he held hands with.
Xia Zhen felt guilty, lacked confidence, couldn't lift her head, and appeared extremely weak.
But what she's best at is acting cute.
"Lu Jin, I'm sorry, I was young and ignorant. I will never act like a flirtatious woman again!"
He removed her hands from his waist, then helped her sit up straight by supporting her waist.
Then, he patted her head and said, "Zhenzhen, you're not allowed to touch me for the next ten minutes."
After he finished speaking, he sat down opposite her.
Xia Zhen's eyes widened.
How could someone with a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius say such cold words!
In the darkness, someone withdrew their hand from holding up their phone.
Looking at the people in the Ferris wheel cabin, Song Heng felt a strange emotion take over, and at that moment, he sent the photo to someone.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the city.
Lu Qi signed the transfer agreement without hesitation. He smiled and said, "I really don't want to give up such a good deal, but my son has finally come back to my side. I'm busy building a father-son relationship with him, and I really don't have much time to worry about anything else."
Xia Yu put one of the agreements away, his face expressionless. "Not all children in this world are as well-behaved and sensible as my daughter."
Just then, his phone vibrated as he received a text message.
Xia Yu picked up her phone and opened a text message from an unknown number; it contained a photo.
The amusement park at night in the photo is beautiful, and the atmosphere on the Ferris wheel is just right.
The boy and girl were sitting together in the cockpit. Because they were far apart and it was nighttime, the photo was a bit blurry, but you could still see that the boy was looking down and talking to the girl.
Xia Yu slowly frowned, "Your son..."
Lu Qi glanced at the photo and thought to himself that things might not be going well; the young couple didn't seem to be keeping a proper distance.
Xia Yu pointed at the boy's hand holding the ice cream. "What does he mean? Doesn't a guy know how to treat a girl to ice cream? Lu Qi, how did you raise your son?"
Lu Qi was silent for a while, then he looked ashamed. "It's my fault for not teaching the child well. How could Lu Jin be so inflexible? Although I said that we should keep our distance from girls and not give them unnecessary misunderstandings, in this situation, it's his problem that he didn't know to invite Zhenzhen to eat."
Lu Qi looked at Xia Yu and said sincerely, "Xia Yu, it seems that I still have a lot to learn from you when it comes to educating children, especially in teaching them to be gentlemen."
Xia Yu gave a calm "hmm".
Just then, a woman passed by and, seeing two attractive men sitting there, she had a sudden idea. Her high-heeled foot twisted, and she fell straight towards their table. She chose a perfect angle, and both men could easily catch her.
Xia Yu stood up.
Lu Qi extended his hand.
With a "thud," it was the sound of the woman falling to the ground.
Xia Yu looked at the documents in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, they weren't damaged."
Lu Qi held his wine glass and smiled slightly, "Luckily, the wine didn't spill."
The woman who fell to the ground: "???"
Are there something wrong with these two men?
