Chapter 106 The husband sings and the wife follows
Song Heng, with a languid air, smiled and said, "Xia Zhen, won't you introduce your friend to us?"
He asked the question so casually, as if it were just a casual inquiry.
Xia Zhen frowned; clearly, she didn't want to see him.
She doesn't know what bad luck she had today; even on her date with Lu Jin, she ran into someone she disliked.
Song Heng felt that there was probably something wrong with him; the more Xia Zhen disliked him, the more strange a sense of accomplishment he felt.
Lu Jin released Xia Zhen's hand.
Xia Zhen looked up at him with displeasure.
The next second, Lu Jin's hand naturally landed on her waist. The boy's overly natural action gave it a sense of being taken for granted.
This unintentional display of possessiveness is what's most captivating.
He said, "I am Zhenzhen's boyfriend, Lu Jin."
Xia Zhen raised her hand to cover her face, her bright eyes brimming with excitement.
"Your name is Lu Jin!" Tang Susu exclaimed in surprise. She was very excited and stared at Lu Jin without blinking.
Her voice was too loud. Lu Jin glanced at her indifferently, but showed no other emotion.
Boyfriend...?
Song Heng felt an urge to laugh. His dark eyes looked at Xia Zhen, the upturned corners of his eyes betraying the amusement hidden within. "Xia Zhen, when did you change your tastes?"
Xia Zhen's face turned cold.
Song Heng belatedly realized that he was also a despicable person who could speak provocative words. For a fleeting moment, he became aware of his own baseness.
Then this feeling of annoyance quickly disappeared; he shouldn't have felt annoyed, especially not towards her.
Xia Zhen gave a forced smile. "Are we that close? Do you even know what my taste is? Do you know whether I like sweet or salty food?"
Unable to pinpoint the emotion at play, before his mind could process it, Song Heng blurted out, "Sweet."
The atmosphere in the air became strange.
Xia Zhen thought to herself, "Song Heng is quite lucky; he actually guessed it right."
Song Heng's gaze fell on Lu Jin, and he asked with a smile, "Am I right?"
Lu Jin remained calm, saying, "In order to have a healthier body to accompany me in the future, Zhenzhen has a very good plan for her intake of sweets, and she is no longer so fond of sweets."
The half-eaten marshmallow that Lu Jin was holding in his other hand was the best proof.
Song Heng laughed sarcastically, "Hasn't Miss Xia always lived as she pleased? When did she start to wrong herself like this?"
Before Xia Zhen could speak, Lu Jin replied, "Reasonably indulging your own preferences is being responsible for your own body and for the people who love you."
Song Heng said, "I'm asking her, not you."
Lu Jin: "What I said is exactly what Zhenzhen was thinking."
Xia Zhen hugged Lu Jin's arm, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "Lu Jin is right. What he said is exactly what I wanted to say."
They really are a perfect example of a harmonious couple.
Song Heng's fingers twitched slightly, but in the end he simply chose to remain silent.
Tang Susu had been ignored for a long time, and she felt superfluous, unable to get a word in edgewise. Now that Song Heng was silent, she couldn't hold back any longer. She took a step forward and stared straight at Lu Jin, "Lu Jin, I'm Tang Susu. Don't you recognize me?"
Lu Jin wasn't used to people getting so close to him, so he pulled Xia Zhen back a step. "I don't know her."
"Think about it again. We played together when we were little. I'm your neighbor. We even walked home together after school!"
"I don't have any neighbors."
Tang Susu was stunned for a moment, then murmured, "Could it be that you're not the Lu Jin I know?"
Yes, how could they be Lu Jin?
Even though they both suffer from congenital diseases, and even though they have names that sound the same, Lu Jin, who was a child, could never forget her, no matter how old he became.
When Lu Jin was a child, he became disabled in both legs while saving her, but the Lu Jin who appeared in front of her now could stand up perfectly well.
Tang Susu was very disappointed; she had thought she had found the person she was looking for.
Grandpa said he would help her find someone, but there has been no news since.
Where did Lu Jin go when he was a child?
Lu Jin whispered to Xia Zhen, "Let's go somewhere else to play."
Xia Zhen nodded, "Okay."
They rarely get to go on a date, and they can't let these two people ruin it.
There was no need to say goodbye to Song Heng and Tang Susu, since they weren't familiar with each other and there was no intention to get to know each other well in the future, so there was no need for so much politeness.
Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Tang Susu still couldn't believe her eyes and exclaimed, "I never imagined Xia Zhen would end up with someone like that..."
In her eyes, Xia Zhen was a proud young lady; she was arrogant and perfect, and of course, only the best boy in the world was worthy of her.
She's like a princess, she has to be pampered.
The white-haired boy was cold and aloof, and seemed unapproachable. He was definitely not the kind of person who would unconditionally indulge Miss Xia.
And then there's appearance...
Tang Susu couldn't help but glance at Song Heng again.
Although she disliked Song Heng, she had to admit that Song Heng was very good-looking. Among the people she knew, only Mu Zhijing and Song Heng were equally good-looking.
Sensing Tang Susu's gaze, Song Heng looked over.
Tang Susu felt embarrassed, as if she had been caught red-handed. She forced herself to remain calm and said, "I've already accompanied you on a ride around the amusement park. You'll keep your promise to me, right?"
Song Heng spoke slowly, "Do you remember what I said back then?"
“I remember, you said you wanted me to come to the amusement park with you to help you get a feel for it, and then you would stop targeting Mu Zhijing.”
It turns out that Song Heng has been frequently causing trouble for Mu Zhijing lately. Compared to the domineering Song Heng, the unassuming Mu Zhijing seems too mild-mannered.
He is definitely no match for Song Heng.
Tang Susu recently became friends with Mu Zhijing. Seeing her friend in trouble, she naturally wanted to help. In fact, she thought the same as many others: Song Heng deliberately targeted Mu Zhijing because he saw that she and Mu Zhijing were getting close.
Song Heng smiled casually, "You said it yourself, I asked you to help me find the feeling, and now that I haven't found the feeling, my promise to you is naturally null and void."
Tang Susu immediately shouted angrily, "Song Heng! You broke your promise!"
Song Heng said matter-of-factly, "You've misunderstood."
Tang Susu stomped her foot angrily: "You're just playing me!"
What, are you trying to get a feel for it?
He didn't even say what kind of feeling he was looking for; he was clearly just deliberately trying to fool her!
