Lu Jingzhi poked his head out around the corner from the school gate, and saw Lu Ning riding her scooter away. He slowly emerged and strolled towards the milk tea shop.
Huo Jinyan, who was already there at the milk tea shop, by the window, subconsciously looked up and spotted Lu Ning zooming past on her scooter.
Huo Jinyan was stunned for a moment before he looked out of the window.
Lu Jingzhi walked in from the door and instantly saw Huo Jinyan there, peering out of the window.
Grabbing the straps of his school bag with both hands, Lu Jingzhi walked over to sit opposite Huo Jinyan.
“I’m the one looking for you.”
He spoke abruptly, and Huo Jinyan turned around when he heard this, but did not spot him. Silently, he shifted his eyes down…
Lu Jingzhi’s young face appeared in his vision.
Huo Jinyan looked at him and saw a resemblance to Lu Ning in his face. For some reason, his eyes softened.
Lu Jingzhi looked at him and scrunched his eyebrows in confusion.
Then, he said, “1 have something to tell you.”
Huo Jinyan looked at the child opposite him. Right now, he was behaving completely unlike his age.
Lu Jingzhi put down his bag and placed it aside. Then, he went to the counter of the milk tea shop and asked for two cups of milk tea.
Huo Jinyan watched him and did not move from his seat. He became even more curious as to why this child was looking for him.
The waitress brought the milk tea over and glanced at Huo Jinyan before he left.
At first, she thought that he was handsome and well-dressed, so he must be a gentleman. But he actually needed a child to order milk tea for him. What a disgrace…
Huo Jinyan ignored her judgmental gaze and watched Lu Jingzhi push a cup of milk tea over.
“Here, for you to warm up.”
He took a sip from the cup in front of him with a straw, then looked at Huo
Jinyan.
His gaze was so serious that he did not seem like a child.
Huo Jinyan’s gaze also became serious.
In a flash, some details that he had never noticed before seemed to become magnified in his mind.
This child in front of him…
Lu Jingzhi looked up at Huo Jinyan.
“The person you’re looking for, is me.”
He did not obfuscate anything and went straight to the point.
Huo Jinyan looked at him and frowned slightly, seemingly understanding what he meant.
Lu Jingzhi looked at him and did not say anything. He raised his hand and took out his phone. After browsing for something, he handed it over.
Huo Jinyan looked at the phone that was pushed over and stared at the screen.
A minute later, his frown deepened.
Lu Jingzhi looked at him and took back his phone.
“You can ask me anything you want.”
Lu Jingzhi looked at Huo Jinyan, and Huo Jinyan looked back at him, still digesting this information.
For a while, neither of them spoke. In the end, it was Lu Jingzhi who broke the silence.
“Before I came, I investigated you.
“You probably want to know why 1 leaked your address information.
“At that time, I had just started taking jobs and was simply paid to do it. I didn’t need to know what those people wanted it for, I only needed to know what the job was.
“I’m sorry for putting you in danger so many times.”
What he said was not something a child would say.
Huo Jinyan’s eyes were deep as he looked at the little boy. His gaze was serious as he calmly stated the truth.
All of this really caught him off guard. The person he had been looking for— his enemy and the target of his revenge—was sitting opposite him at this moment. He was floored when he heard everything he had done; Huo Jinyan did not know how to respond..
