Huo Jincheng hoped that one day, Lu Xingzhi could say things like that too.
"Lie down and lean on me." Huo Jincheng directly laid Lu Xingzhi down, letting her lean in his arms, and continued to massage her stomach.
Lu Xingzhi was too lazy to move, so she comfortably leaned against Huo Jincheng’s chest.
"With National Day coming up, do you have anywhere you want to go?" Huo Jincheng asked.
"No, I want to stay home. Just lying in bed and sleeping every day feels really comfortable," Lu Xingzhi said lazily.
"You want to lie in bed every day? Are you sure?" Huo Jincheng’s words hinted at a lot more, but unfortunately, he was dealing with the oblivious Lu Xingzhi.
"Okay, as long as you’re sure." The depth in Huo Jincheng’s eyes and his meaningful smile said it all.
"Uncle, why do I feel like what you’re saying sounds strange?" Lu Xingzhi suddenly caught on.
"Nothing." Even if there is, it’s not of much use to tell you now.
"Oh!" Lu Xingzhi didn’t think much of it anyway, as she felt assured that Huo Jincheng wouldn’t harm her.
She didn’t have anything worth being deceived over either.
The two of them chatted casually, but in just a few minutes, Lu Xingzhi fell asleep.
Huo Jincheng felt a bit helpless, gently touched her cheek, and couldn’t resist his inner urge, leaning down to kiss her lips.
He felt like a villain, somewhat cunning too.
Thinking there was something on her lips, Lu Xingzhi unconsciously licked them.
Huo Jincheng’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he took a deep breath.
Only then did he cradle Lu Xingzhi and carry her to the room, finally placing her on the bed.
He didn’t leave right away, but sat on the bed edge, quietly watching her, and after a while, he walked out of her room.
Just wait a little longer.
Lu Xingzhi woke up at eleven thirty at night, a bit groggy after sleeping for a few hours.
Sitting on the bed, she was a bit confused about the situation.
After a long time, she remembered she wasn’t at military training but had returned home.
Wasn’t she taking a walk in the garden with Huo Jincheng? How did she fall asleep again, and it must have been Huo Jincheng who carried her back!
Yawning, Lu Xingzhi got out of bed to wash up, comfortably soaking in the bathtub while humming a happy tune.
"I love bathing, makes my skin so nice, oh oh oh..."
During military training, she had to bathe and wash her hair at breakneck speed. Back then, she even thought of cutting her hair short.
By the time she finished everything, it was already past twelve o’clock.
But just at this moment, sleep evaded her again.
Playing on her phone made her more alert, and eventually, she got hungry too.
After debating whether to eat or not, Lu Xingzhi was too lazy to move and chose to go back to sleep.
But her stomach got hungrier, making it impossible to sleep, so she finally got up, resigned, and opened the door to find something to eat.
She had just reached the staircase when, coincidentally, Huo Jincheng came out of the study.
"Uncle, why aren’t you asleep yet?" She was a bit startled when the study door opened.
"I was dealing with some office work." Huo Jincheng looked at her, "Where are you off to?"
"I’m hungry, I want to find something to eat," Lu Xingzhi said bashfully.
Thinking about how he mentioned dealing with office work, she asked, "Is it because picking me up delayed your work?"
"It has nothing to do with you. It was something sudden from abroad." Huo Jincheng walked over to her and took her hand, "Let’s go!"
Lu Xingzhi hadn’t reacted yet, "Hmm? Go where?"
"Aren’t you hungry? Let’s go to the kitchen."
