Chapter 99 Absolute Favoritism
Xia Zhen asked with concern, "Is your aunt an easy person to get along with?"
"That person told me not to worry, that she's not a bad person."
"That's good." Xia Zhen felt a little relieved.
As they approached the end of the street, Xia Zhen finally couldn't help but turn back to look at the car that had been slowly following them. She asked Lu Jin, "Lu Jin, are we really not going to pay attention to that car?"
Lu Jin held one of her hands. "Don't worry about it."
That was the car Lu Qi sent to pick up and drop off Lu Jin at school. Of course, Lu Qi also specially told the driver with a smile: "He can get in whenever he wants, but you can't rush him or disturb his conversation with the little girl."
Perhaps because he had been caught in the rain before, Lu Qi especially liked to hand Lu Jin an umbrella in such situations.
Now that Lu Jin can no longer live in the same neighborhood as Xia Zhen, Xia Zhen would rather get up earlier every day than live across from Lu Huiming.
Fortunately, they will be taking the college entrance examination soon, and once they are admitted to the same university, they will be able to see each other every day.
A car kept following them, and if they continued walking, they would attract too much attention.
Xia Zhen squatted down and looked at him pitifully, "Lu Jin, touch me."
He looked down at the girl, reached out and tucked a stray hair behind her ear, then gently touched her cheek with his fingertips and whispered, "Zhenzhen, just bear with it a little longer."
Soon, they will be able to take off their school uniforms and embrace each other openly.
Xia Zhen felt a sudden burning sensation behind her ears and covered her face. "Lu Jin, my birthday is coming soon!"
...Where did her thoughts wander off to again?
Lu Jin was both amused and exasperated, but when he looked at her expectant face, his throat went dry and his heart ached.
He was never as optimistic as others, and because he cherished her, he couldn't help but think about their future every minute he spent with her.
“Zhenzhen”.
"Um?"
The aloof young man spoke with difficulty, "My illness is incurable."
Xia Zhen didn't understand why he brought this up. She tilted her head, and the ends of her hair swayed behind her. "I know, Lu Jin. White is very pretty, so it doesn't matter if it can't be cured."
Albinism is a congenital genetic disorder, and no matter how many more star candies she earns, it cannot change this fact.
After all, she couldn't go back to the moment when Lu Jin was still an embryo and do anything to him.
Lu Jin's heart ached with a mixture of bitterness and pain. He felt both lucky and despicable. The girl in front of him had poured so much passionate and radiant emotion into him. He clearly didn't deserve it, yet he still selfishly wanted to possess her entirely.
He closed his eyes, his fingertips trembling as he stroked the girl's face.
Xia Zhen noticed his unusual behavior. She covered his hand and didn't ask him what was wrong. Instead, she waited quietly for him to speak.
Lu Jin mustered up enough courage and slowly said, "Zhenzhen, I can't give you a child."
Although this topic is too early for them, that's the truth.
He knew himself, so he couldn't risk having a child with the same defects as him born into this world.
Even if this possibility is just a possibility, he doesn't want to gamble.
Of course, that was only one reason. There was an even bigger reason: Lu Jin was led into a room by Lu Qi and saw the woman sleeping on the bed.
She wasn't a woman who would immediately strike you as stunning, but her tranquility and gentleness gave people a comfortable feeling, like the gentle flow of spring water.
Lu Qi said, "This is my wife."
He only said that sentence, without adding, "This is also your mother."
Lu Jin looked at the woman through Lu Qi's eyes, as if he were seeing his future self.
There seems to be some kind of obsessive gene flowing through the Lu family's bloodline. Relatives and friends are all insignificant. When someone enters their hearts, even they themselves become insignificant.
Perhaps because of his wife's wishes, Lu Qi is portrayed as a good father.
It's as if Xia Zhen wanted Lu Jin to have a lively and exciting life, so Lu Jin was willing to make friends with those people he called "friends".
Lu Qi didn't have any deep feelings for him.
Lu Jin was so clearly aware of this, but strangely, he didn't feel sad at all; in fact, he felt it was only natural.
That's natural, because he's that kind of person too.
Lu Jin's clear eyes seemed to have a dark vortex that could suck in one's soul. He stared at the girl, and unconsciously lowered his voice, which had a seductive tone in it, "Zhenzhen, if you are with me, you will have to give up another identity forever, which is not fair to you."
So, can she make the decision to make him her only choice?
Lu Jin admitted that he was despicable for forcing her to think about such a cruel question, but he couldn't control himself. He thought of the woman lying on the bed, and the longing look in Lu Qi's eyes as he looked at her... Then, he couldn't help but wonder if this was his and Xia Zhen's future.
Lu Jin was thinking too much, and when the girl came close and cupped his face, he still hadn't reacted when he met her bright eyes.
Xia Zhen's eyes curved into crescents, sparkling with undisguised starlight, and she smiled sweetly. "I thought you were struggling with something, but it turns out it's such a simple matter."
"……Simple?"
“Yes,” Xia Zhen said with a smile, “Why would you think the child is more important than you? I knew you first, I liked you first. That child you’re talking about, I’ve never even seen him, so how could he be more important than you?”
Xia Zhen said again, "If I don't want to have children, then I don't have children. I'm afraid of the pain. Besides, if there are no children, no one will take my snacks or take you away from me. Your love will be mine alone. Isn't that great?"
Lu Jin was slightly lost in thought, as if he had heard something incomprehensible that had rendered him unable to think.
Xia Zhen rarely saw him like this. Her playful side kicked in, and she deliberately rubbed his face, saying with amusement, "Lu Jin, you haven't been secretly thinking about this problem and agonizing over it for a long time, have you?"
he:"……"
She laughed happily, "Lu Jin, you're so cute! How could you think I would choose the child over you? You're so insecure! I told you, you can be the proudest person in the world!"
Suddenly, Xia Zhen noticed the redness at the corners of his eyes. She hurriedly withdrew her hand. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
The boy lowered his head, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and his muffled voice trembled slightly, "It's just that the wind blew dust into my eyes."
Xia Zhen blinked in disbelief.
Is it really just the wind?
Of course not.
What made him "get dust in his eyes" was her unique and absolute favoritism towards him.
