Chapter 178 Let's Sleep In
Moreover, her body clearly hadn't rested properly.
Xia Zhen pouted in boredom.
He asked her softly, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Should we order takeout, or I can go out and buy something?"
Xia Zhen shook her head. "I'm not hungry."
She got off him and tugged at his sleeve. "Hurry up and finish washing. I want you to hold me while I sleep."
After saying that, she trotted out of the bathroom and into the bedroom in her slippers.
Lu Jin's body suddenly felt excessively warm.
It wasn't because of lust, but when he heard her say that she wanted him to hold her while she slept, he felt a warmth that instantly filled his chest.
With indescribable feelings, he finished what he was doing and tidied everything up before eagerly heading into the bedroom.
The bedroom lights were off, and all that could be seen was the girl's arched figure under the blanket, with not even her head showing.
She lay there all alone, with no one to hug her, looking pitiful.
Lu Jin suddenly had this feeling for no reason.
He quickened his pace, and when he reached the bedside, he carefully lay down on one side, softly calling, "Zhenzhen..."
However, as soon as the blanket was lifted by a corner, the light shining from the phone screen came into view.
She was reading a novel.
The screen also displayed strange words like "fiery" and "tight".
Lu Jin said expressionlessly, "Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen was engrossed in watching, but as soon as she heard her boyfriend's emotionless voice, she immediately turned off her phone, quickly put it aside, and before he could question her, she had already expertly snuggled into his arms.
She buried her head in his chest, clinging to him like an octopus, "Waaah, I'm so sleepy, Lu Jin, I want you to hold me while I sleep."
Lu Jin's stern expression was completely useless. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief, resignedly hugged her, gently patted her back with one hand, and whispered, "Sleep."
It was a sleepless night, but also the night he slept the best.
Lu Jin was woken up by the pressure at 6:30 a.m.
While he was still asleep, he felt as if something was pressing down on him, a feeling different from when Xiaobai jumped on him.
His hand had already risen ahead of him, and he belatedly realized that he was hugging a soft body. He opened his eyes.
The boy, still half-asleep, was greeted with several kisses from the girl.
Xia Zhen, lying on him excitedly, said, "Lu Jin, you need to get up. You have your first class this morning."
He didn't know when, but the person who was clearly sleeping in his arms suddenly jumped onto him.
Lu Jin didn't have the habit of sleeping in late, but everyone has their flaws, so how could he not like sleeping in late?
It's just that he's never had the right to enjoy it since he was a child. It was one thing when he was in school, but if he got up a little late during holidays, he would be scolded by those hypocritical so-called relatives.
This was the first time he realized that being woken up could be such a happy thing.
Xia Zhen was still rubbing his face, "How are you? Are you more awake now? You're a good student who wants to get scholarships, you can't be late..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was flipped over and pinned down. Compared to her, Lu Jin was much taller and bigger, and she had no chance to resist.
What's wrong?
What is he going to do?
Xia Zhen's eyes showed anticipation.
But he just kept his head down, his white, fluffy head buried in her neck, and said sleepily, "Zhenzhen, sleep for another ten minutes."
His voice had a rare languidness and a husky quality, yet it was exceptionally captivating.
Xia Zhen felt a chill run down her spine from Su's words.
They finally left at 7:15. Lu Jin was fine; he wasn't so particular and just washed up. But Xia Zhen was a different story. She didn't bring much with her and could only make do with the sunscreen he had prepared for her.
While braiding her hair, Lu Jin silently noted down the things she mentioned in her complaints. These things also needed to be prepared in the apartment: face wash, lotion, face cream, serum…
His brain went blank shortly afterward.
Sure enough, girls are harder to understand than computers. Does she really need so many things for such a small face?
However, after Xia Zhen finished complaining, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled at the boy behind her, saying, "Luckily, I'm wearing a long dress, so no one can tell."
You can't see the marks on her legs.
Lu Jin's voice was unusually calm, "I will be more careful next time."
Xia Zhen pulled down the neckline of her dress to cover the bite mark on her collarbone. She glanced at the person behind her and wondered why this person had suddenly become unashamed.
That's because she didn't see that the tips of his ears, hidden beneath his tousled hair, had turned red.
After leaving the school, they ate breakfast at a noodle shop near the school gate.
This shop is very affordable, with large portions, delicious food, and low prices. Many students like to have breakfast here. The shop is owned by a husband and wife, and when it's busy, customers need to take their own food from the counter.
Not long after Xia Zhen found a seat, Lu Jin brought over the beef brisket noodles she had ordered, and then he took his own food and sat down next to her.
The shop was crowded, so it was naturally a bit noisy, but that was just the lively atmosphere of the marketplace, and it wasn't unpleasant.
Someone came over to greet her, "Xia Zhen!"
Xia Zhen looked up and smiled, "Zhao Xiyu, Zhuang Ya."
The person who just greeted me was Zhao Xiyu, and she smiled back, "What a coincidence to run into you here."
Zhuang Ya then said, "You didn't tell us in advance that it was your birthday the day before yesterday, otherwise we could have prepared a gift earlier."
Xia Zhen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's enough that you all wished me a happy birthday."
Zhao Xiyu asked curiously, "Song Zhu didn't come back last night either. Did she also go to your birthday party?"
Xia Zhen nodded, "Yes, but I didn't come back with her. She'll probably go back to school this morning."
Zhao Xiyu nodded; she wanted to say something more.
Zhuang Ya tugged at Zhao Xiyu's hand, "Didn't you say you were hungry? Hurry up and think of something to eat, don't disturb the young couple's meal."
Zhao Xiyu realized what was happening and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have bothered you."
Xia Zhen smiled, "It's nothing, it's not a bother."
Lu Jin, who had been quiet all along, suddenly said, "What would you like to eat? It's on me."
Zhao Xiyu and Zhuang Ya were both stunned for a moment, mainly because their first impression of this boy was that he was too aloof and did not seem like the kind of person who would be warm and friendly.
Xia Zhen's smile grew even brighter. "Yes, order whatever you like, let him treat us."
Zhao Xiyu and Zhuang Ya now seemed a little reserved.
In the end, they ordered their usual favorite dishes, which Lu Jin paid for. Since Lu Jin had classes, Xia Zhen accompanied him back to school after they finished eating.
Zhao Xiyu sighed, "I thought Xia Zhen's boyfriend only had eyes for Xia Zhen and didn't want to talk to anyone else. It turns out he's such a polite person and seems to understand social etiquette quite well."
Zhuang Ya clicked her tongue twice. "You really think they understand social etiquette?"
Zhao Xiyu: "Huh?"
Zhuang Ya said, "He's only being so polite because we're Xia Zhen's roommates. If we were his classmates, do you think he would pay more attention to us?"
Zhao Xiyu looked completely bewildered.
Because I care about that person, I also care about her interpersonal relationships.
Zhuang Ya raised an eyebrow. "There are some boys in our class who are secretly betting on when Xia Zhen will break up with her boyfriend so they can take her place. I think they're just dreaming."
