Liu Bailu still wanted to postpone, as she had worked hard to get in and didn’t want to be dazzled by everything in front of her.
"What’s wrong? There’s no pesticide, don’t worry."
"Alright, little cutie Bailu, just eat!" Ke Yanchu was straightforward, picking up a cherry and stuffing it into Liu Bailu’s mouth.
Liu Bailu wanted to say something more, but Lu Xingzhi’s phone rang.
Lu Xingzhi picked up the phone; it was Huo Jincheng calling her. Not wanting to disturb the others, she went to the balcony to take the call.
"Zhi Zhi, are you getting used to everything?" Huo Jincheng really felt like a concerned old father, worrying to pieces over his little fiancée.
Having lived with Lu Xingzhi for two months, he had gotten used to coming home and eating with her every day, seeing her life each day.
Now, suddenly coming back and not seeing her around, it felt quite unusual.
Even eating alone, he found himself lacking some appetite.
"Do you need anything else?"
"No, the whole dorm’s been taken over by me." Lu Xingzhi exaggerated a bit, but indeed Huo Jincheng had sent a lot of things over.
And everything was of the best quality, making her feel like she was on a vacation.
"Our Zhi Zhi is so amazing, she’ll surely get into graduate school soon. Then she can apply for a single room." Huo Jincheng thought if Lu Xingzhi lived alone, it would be easier to take care of her.
Lu Xingzhi said, "Since it’s a single room, I might as well just stay home!"
"Then come home," Huo Jincheng said deliberately, picking up on her playful annoyance.
That’s what he hoped for anyway.
"I’m coming back on Friday, you said so yourself." Lu Xingzhi emphasized.
"Okay, come back on Friday, when break starts. Call me after your military training ends, and I’ll pick you up." Since Huo Jincheng had said this, he naturally wouldn’t force her.
Unless something comes up.
"Alright. I’ll hang up then." Lu Xingzhi said.
"Bye, rest well." Huo Jincheng stood on the balcony, looking up at the night sky, his deep voice was as intoxicating as a fine wine.
Lu Xingzhi felt flirted with and instinctively asked, "Have you been drinking?"
"Your voice is so intoxicating, like you’ve had strong liquor." Lu Xingzhi didn’t realize her words were actually flirting with Huo Jincheng.
As a straightforward girl, Lu Xingzhi always spoke the truth.
"Do you want a drink?" Huo Jincheng’s deep eyes were filled with delight, slightly squinting, with a playful hint of mischief.
This was meant to be suggestive, but Lu Xingzhi didn’t catch on. She said, "No, it’s too strong."
"If you want to drink, it naturally wouldn’t be strong." Huo Jincheng wanted to laugh loudly; his Little Zhi Liao was too innocent, she couldn’t even catch on to such a hint.
"I like plum wine, but you never let me have any. I don’t trust you." In this matter, Lu Xingzhi not only held Qin Shihuai accountable but also kept a note against Huo Jincheng.
"When you come back, I’ll let you drink. I’ll have Shi Huai send a case to the house, okay?" Huo Jincheng thought there was still some at home; he just hadn’t found the right time to let Lu Xingzhi drink.
"Alright then!" Lu Xingzhi said arrogantly.
Her words clearly meant she was giving him another chance.
"When you return from military training, I’ll let you have a drink, okay?"
