Chapter 41 Robbery of Beauty
Xia Zhen hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face. She sniffed and pretended to be okay, saying, "I'm not crying anymore, don't be sad."
Her eyes were still red, and tears were clinging to her eyelashes, her eyes brimming with moisture as she looked at him, yet she tried her best not to shed a tear.
How can she be so cute?
Lu Jin's heart melted completely, and he couldn't resist pinching her cheek again.
Xia Zhen asked vaguely, "Why did you pinch me?"
She's still feeling sad, isn't his childish behavior just ruining the mood?
Lu Jin kissed her again, "Zhenzhen, you're so cute."
Xia Zhen felt like he was trying to comfort a child, so she turned her face away to stop him from kissing her and said seriously, "Shouldn't you be nervously comforting me and telling me not to cry? What do you mean by pinching me and kissing me?"
His light-colored eyes held a smile. "You don't want to cry now, do you?"
That's true.
Xia Zhen inexplicably felt that she was in big trouble. It seemed that this guy had already mastered the way to control her emotions. If she were to cause trouble one day, wouldn't he be able to easily resolve it?
Lu Jin gently wiped the corner of her eye with his fingertips. "It's true that I want to stop you from crying, and it's also true that I want to apologize to you."
Xia Zhen leaned softly against his chest, her fingers poking his chest lightly. "Did you get hit again?"
Lu Jin: "Zhenzhen, during the exam today..."
"Don't change the subject."
He sighed softly, "Yes."
He couldn't lie to her, and she wouldn't let him change the subject, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Xia Zhen gripped his hand tightly, lifted his sleeve, and after seeing the scars, tears welled up in her eyes again. With a "plop," a tear fell onto his scarred arm.
It burned him painfully.
Lu Jin lifted her small face and wiped away her tears. A hint of tension showed in his usually cold eyes. "Don't cry, I'm not in pain anymore."
Xia Zhen buried her face in his chest and rubbed against him, then unceremoniously used his clothes to wipe away the tears on her face.
He was at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Xia Zhen looked up again and took out cotton swabs and medicine from her pocket. "Luckily I brought these with me."
He reached out and smoothed her disheveled hair, saying softly, "Thank you, Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen snorted, "Of course you should thank me. Not all girlfriends in the world are as considerate as me."
She gently applied medicine to the wounds on his arm with a cotton swab. He cooperated perfectly, not moving his arm at all, making one wonder if he would have cooperated by stabbing her a few times if she had a knife.
In fact, Lu Jin had long been used to these injuries; he had been like this since he was a child.
Hao Hui is right. Adults always have all kinds of pressure, such as work pressure and life pressure. When too much pressure accumulates, they will eventually need to vent.
But the target of their venting is always him.
“Zhenzhen”.
"Um?"
He wanted to ask Lu Huiming if she had resolved her work issues, but the words that came out were simply, "I assure you, there won't be a next time."
Xia Zhen looked up at him. She knew that it would be difficult for him to keep his promise before he left this family, but she still smiled and believed him. "Okay."
Lu Jin rested his chin on the top of the girl's head. Where she couldn't see, his eyes were dark, and his longing for her was growing wildly in his eyes.
This madness also conceals a danger that will never belong to her.
The next day, Lu Huiming went to work feeling refreshed. Because he was in a good mood, he even gave Lu Ci some extra pocket money.
Lu Ci smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad."
But after Lu Huiming left, Lu Ci's expression showed a hint of indifference.
He should never become like that again, so easily swayed by the joy and sorrow of a job that doesn't pay much.
Hao Hui was clearing the table when she took a moment to say to Lu Ci, "It's still early. You've been studying so hard, you can sleep a little longer. You don't need to go to school so early."
Lu Ci said, "If I go to school earlier, I can learn more."
Hao Hui's face was full of gratified smiles. "Xiao Ci is so sensible."
So, Lu Ci and Lu Jin went out together once again.
Once inside the elevator, Lu Ci casually remarked, "I heard you got beaten by Dad again last night?"
Lu Jin hummed in agreement.
“Dad is getting old, and his temper is getting worse. It’s a pity I wasn’t there last night. If I had been there, I would have stopped him.”
Lu Jin replied indifferently, "Is that so?"
Perhaps it was Lu Ci's imagination, but Lu Jin used to be like a silent gourd, rarely saying a word. Now, even though Lu Jin still speaks very little, he will reply to others.
Lu Ci smiled and said, "Of course, we are brothers. Actually, when Dad hit you before, I wanted to stop him, but you know, I was young then, and it was hard for me to interfere with my elders' decisions. But it's different now. I'm all grown up, and I know what's right and wrong. Even if you did something that made Dad angry, he shouldn't hit you."
Lu Jin watched the floor numbers on the elevator change, never glancing at the person next to him.
Feeling awkward, Lu Ci stopped making empty promises. He placed one hand on his wheelchair and asked meaningfully, "How's the matter with Xia Zhen going?"
Lu Jin concealed the dark light in his eyes. "She is very compassionate."
"Of course I know that. I'm asking if you have anything else?"
"She loves small animals and is very kind-hearted."
“Small animals…” Lu Ci thought of the little white cat that Lu Jin kept in the room. Perhaps it would be a good idea to get closer to her by using an animal.
We arrived at the first floor, and the elevator doors opened.
After stepping out of the elevator, Lu Ci looked around but didn't see the girl who usually frequented the area. He frowned. "Why didn't she wait for you today?"
Lu Jin stepped out of the elevator. "Why was she waiting for me?"
"Didn't she always wait for you before?"
"It's just a coincidence. Even if she's my deskmate, she's not obligated to come and wait for me to go to school every day."
Lu Ci was speechless.
Yes, why should Xia Zhen wait for Lu Jin every day?
Lu Ci regretted getting up so early today, and even found Lu Jin disagreeable. "Fine, you can go on your way. I won't wait for you."
After saying that, Lu Ci ignored the person in the wheelchair and left first.
Lu Jin wasn't in a hurry.
The bushes in the flower bed next to us moved.
He lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, "Come out."
The girl stood up from behind the bushes and yelled at him, brandishing her teeth and claws, "Robbery!"
He asked, "Robbery?"
"No, I want to rape her!"
The boy relaxed in his wheelchair, adopting a rather languid posture, and said with a slight upturn of his eyes, "Come on."
Xia Zhen was stunned. "Huh?"
Why is he being so easy to talk to?
