Ke Yanchu could completely understand. If she had a boyfriend, she would definitely want to see him first too.
Lu Xingzhi stayed in the dorm for probably an hour before receiving a call from Huo Jincheng.
After saying goodbye to her roommates, she then left.
Lu Xingzhi happened to run into Han Chengran, who was returning from outside the school, as she passed through the campus.
"Xingzhi, are you heading out?"
"Then... can I treat you to a meal today? I don’t mean anything by it, just... well, we’re from the same place after all. Also, I want to thank you for tutoring me." Han Chengran’s face flushed slightly as he said this.
Afraid Lu Xingzhi would refuse, he quickly added, "You can bring a few of your roommates too."
"Not today, I have plans today. Maybe next time!" Since he was from the same place and they attended the same high school for three years, Lu Xingzhi didn’t want to directly refuse.
"Alright then, take care."
"Bye-bye!" Lu Xingzhi walked away without hesitation.
Leaving behind Han Chengran with a lovestruck expression.
Huo Jincheng’s car was parked a bit away from the school, as Lu Xingzhi wouldn’t let him park directly at the entrance—too flashy.
As Lu Xingzhi was approaching the car, the driver had already gotten out to open the door for her.
As soon as she got in, she felt Huo Jincheng’s intense gaze.
Huo Jincheng playfully curved his lips, "It’s been so long, Zhi Zhi, won’t you give me a hug?"
Lu Xingzhi blinked, "No need to be so sentimental!"
"Since you’re unwilling, I’ll take the initiative!" Huo Jincheng hugged Lu Xingzhi, but let go shortly after.
He reached out to touch her small face, looking at her earnestly, "You’ve lost weight."
"Losing weight is good, just means I don’t have to diet." Lu Xingzhi was quite satisfied with this. She unconsciously whined a bit, "I’ve gotten so much tanner."
"Not tanned, still very pretty. Very energetic." Huo Jincheng chuckled, as expected, girls still love to look beautiful.
Lu Xingzhi touched her small face, "I wonder how long it will last."
"Don’t think about it. Even with a tan, you’re the most beautiful." Huo Jincheng patiently comforted her, not wanting her to overthink, and changed the topic, "I’ve already had the kitchen prepare your favorite dishes, or would you prefer something else?"
"Then let’s eat at home." Lu Xingzhi’s eyes lit up at the mention of food.
During military training, the students all ate the same meals, and she hadn’t been eating well.
Huo Jincheng’s lips slowly approached Lu Xingzhi’s face, whispering softly in her ear, "Did you miss me?"
Lu Xingzhi blushed and quickly said, "I did."
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow and tapped her nose, "Not honest."
"Then I didn’t miss you." Lu Xingzhi thought, she was so exhausted from military training every day that she just fell asleep instantly at night, really having no time to think about Huo Jincheng.
"Heartless little one." Even though this was the honest truth, Huo Jincheng still felt a bit aggrieved.
"But you wouldn’t believe me even if I said so," Lu Xingzhi lowered her head, "I’ll think about you more in the future."
"There shouldn’t be a next time, just don’t leave my side." Huo Jincheng pushed her head down to rest on his shoulder.
"Good girl." Huo Jincheng’s mood improved significantly because of her words.
"Don’t treat me like a little dog."
