Chapter 117 I Actually Felt Fatherly Love From You
Lu Jin felt a slight dryness in his throat. He whispered to the girl, "I am yours. No one will try to take me away, and no one can take me away."
Xia Zhen recalled what the vanished little elf had said. She hesitated for a moment, then said uncertainly, "Lu Jin."
"Um?"
"If there were a magical power in this world that could change your body, would you want to change it?"
"It depends on two factors."
Which two?
"Is that power yours? And do you want me to change?"
Xia Zhen shook her head. "I don't have that power. I will love you no matter how you look."
Lu Jin reached out and pinched her cheek. "If you want me to change, then regardless of whether that power belongs to you or not, I will find a way to take it away."
"What if it's not that simple?" Xia Zhen asked curiously. "For example, this power is bound to one person, and no one else can use it except her."
Lu Jin raised the corner of his eye slightly, "Zhenzhen, as long as you find someone's weakness, whether by offering them benefits or by pushing them into a corner with no way out, everything will be simple."
"Wow." Xia Zhen stared blankly at the aloof young man in front of her. "Lu Jin, you seem to be a villain."
Lu Jin belatedly realized what was happening, and instead suppressed his overtly dangerous aura, said gently to her, "Zhenzhen, I was just joking..."
The girl threw herself into his arms, exclaiming, "You're so cool! I love it!"
Judging from how excited she was, with both legs raised, it's clear she really liked it.
Lu Jin chuckled and patted her head, "So there's nothing to worry about, right?"
She looked up, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, there's nothing to worry about!"
He lowered his eyes and gently stroked her long, black hair. "Why didn't you braid your hair today?"
"I was in a hurry to see you, but I didn't have time."
"Did you wear a hair tie?"
Xia Zhen handed him her small bag; she needed to hold him so she wouldn't have time to rummage through her things.
Women's bags always have all sorts of hidden clasps. When Lu Jin first took her bag, he couldn't figure out how to open it, but now he's quite adept at it.
But the girl's yellow bag was just stuffed with random things: a few bags of snacks she had hoarded, a pack of tissues, a pair of Bluetooth earphones, a set of keys, and Lu Jin even found empty snack wrappers in her bag.
It's obvious that when she was eating snacks, there was no trash can nearby, so she just stuffed the wrappers into her bag and forgot to throw them away.
Lu Jin resignedly arranged the items in her bag one by one, removing all the trash. He called her, "Little slovenly girl."
Xia Zhen, who was buried in her chest, didn't even bother to lift her head. She muttered, "I'm not a little slob, I'm a little fairy."
Yes, he admitted it himself not long ago; she is a fairy.
Xia Zhen caught sight of a pen, picked it up, and handed it to him. "This is something the lady at the front desk asked me to bring to you before I came to find you. She said it was something you left behind this morning."
Lu Jin held the pen without speaking for a moment. After a while, he put it down and said, "Thank you, Zhenzhen."
Xia Zhen's eyes crinkled with a hint of smugness. "You're welcome."
It was as if she was saying that she made the right decision to come today, otherwise he might have lost a pen.
This is truly a tremendous loss!
Lu Jin lifted her chin and gave her a light kiss as a reward, which made her smile even brighter.
Although the boy had tidied her bag up neatly, he still couldn't find the hair tie.
Xia Zhen said, "I probably forgot to bring it."
"It's okay." Lu Jin put his bag aside and took out two black hair ties from his pocket, each adorned with a small, drooping cherry.
Xia Zhen looked at him in surprise, "Lu Jin, are you Doraemon? Is there a connection to another dimension in your pocket?"
As she spoke, she reached into his pocket and actually found something inside.
A pack of wet wipes, a pack of small black rubber bands, and even two simple milk tea-colored hair clips!
Xia Zhen looked at the things laid out on the table, speechless.
Lu Jin had already divided her thick black hair in two with his hands. He first divided the black hair next to the girl's forehead into three strands, and then added a new strand of hair each time he braided a section downwards.
This way, the braids won't look stiff.
He was very careful and gentle, so as not to hurt her.
Xia Zhen nestled in his arms and blinked. "Lu Jin, where did you learn to braid hair?"
There are many tutorials online.
Cell phones are indeed a good thing. What he didn't tell her was that he had secretly bought tools online for practice.
Xia Zhen is a girl who loves beauty. Although she loves beauty, she is not willing to spend time learning these things online. When the weather is not hot, she wears her long hair down, and when the weather is hot, a ponytail is enough.
Xia Zhen felt an overwhelming warmth in her heart, and suddenly felt exceptionally proud that such a wonderful young man was hers.
She was unusually a little nervous, "Will this affect your work?"
"No," Lu Jin said. "I finished my work this morning."
The group of people in the office are just slacking off out of boredom.
After the left braid was finished, the cherry hair tie secured the end of her hair. He reached for the right half of her long hair, and in the same way, that half was quickly braided into the same style as the left.
The two ends of her hair were tied with cherry hair ties, and the small red cherries matched her black hair very well.
Finally, he used a hair clip to hold back her stray hairs.
His slender fingers gently lifted the end of one side of her hair, causing her two little cherries to sway gently.
The boy looked at the girl's face; she was delicate, beautiful, and pure.
His light-colored eyes were now filled with warm light. "Zhenzhen, you're very beautiful."
Was it the hair tie he chose that was pretty, or was he prettier?
The answer to this question is so simple that it doesn't require any guessing.
Xia Zhen pursed her lips and sniffed.
Lu Jin asked, "What's wrong?"
Xia Zhen clutched his clothes, "You're so wonderful, I can actually feel a father's love from you!"
Lu Jin: "..."
He had no intention of being her father.
Xia Zhen held his hand and said sincerely, "Lu Jin, you must marry me in the future!"
Lu Jin's expression froze slightly, then he sighed helplessly.
Her face immediately hardened. "What's wrong? You don't want to marry me?"
"Zhenzhen, you are a girl."
"so what?"
"Let me propose," he said, taking her hand in return. "When we're old enough, we'll get married."
Xia Zhen answered without hesitation, "Okay."
As it turned out, she was never very reserved in his presence.
