Lu Xingzhi’s face was burning hot, "Go sleep in your room. Put me down quickly, aren’t you tired of holding me all the time?"
"Not tired, I could hold you for a lifetime." Huo Jincheng’s words were full of affection.
Lu Xingzhi wanted to struggle free, but the big hand around her waist tightened. Huo Jincheng, with a hoarse voice, as if suppressing something, said, "Don’t move..."
Lu Xingzhi didn’t know what was wrong with him, she just felt his voice was a bit strange.
She obediently stopped moving and didn’t say a word.
Until Huo Jincheng placed her on the bed, looking deeply at her, "I’m going out, rest well."
"Okay, you too." Lu Xingzhi nodded with a blush, and handed him the shower gel, "This, weren’t you going to use it?"
"I’ll use it next time." Huo Jincheng’s eyes, like dark jade, held deep meaning, but not now.
"Oh. Then... goodnight!"
In the end, Huo Jincheng went back to his room and took a cold shower before sleeping.
Right after military training was the weekend. Lu Xingzhi’s biological clock had recently formed, waking her up at six o’clock, and she couldn’t fall back asleep.
She already slept late, and waking up so early had left her restless and in bad spirits.
Her mood was bad. She stayed tucked in bed, even when Huo Jincheng sent someone to call her for breakfast, she didn’t go.
Until Huo Jincheng came by himself.
"Zhi Zhi, I’m coming in." After knocking, Huo Jincheng turned the door handle.
"I’m not eating breakfast." Hearing the footsteps, Lu Xingzhi pulled the blanket over herself. She had actually gotten up but didn’t want to go downstairs, so she crawled back under the covers.
"What’s wrong? Are you sick?" Huo Jincheng sat by the bed, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
"No. Uncle, just go eat by yourself! I don’t want to eat right now." Lu Xingzhi heard his gentle voice, and her irritation eased a bit.
Huo Jincheng lifted the blanket a little to reveal her head, placing a hand on her forehead, "Then you must tell me why you won’t eat even though you’re awake! Or do you want me to worry about you all the time?"
"I’m not feeling unwell, I just didn’t sleep well. Don’t mind me, I’m afraid I’ll take out my anger on you." Lu Xingzhi was worried she’d lash out at someone for no reason, so she didn’t want to go downstairs.
"Then take it out on me." Huo Jincheng naturally lay down beside her, gently patting her shoulder, "Let’s eat something first, then have a good nap, okay?"
"I don’t want to eat." Lu Xingzhi looked at him pitifully, "I want to sleep but I can’t."
"Alright, alright, I’ll stay with you." Huo Jincheng held her in his arms, lightly stroking her back through the blanket.
"Haven’t you eaten either? Don’t worry about me."
"I’ll wait for you." Huo Jincheng said.
"Don’t be ." Lu Xingzhi felt guilty, "Otherwise, how about we go downstairs to eat first?"
"It’s alright, if you’re not hungry now, just lie down for a while. I’m not hungry yet." Huo Jincheng’s voice was gentle, calming her emotions.
Lu Xingzhi felt her heart become less restless, calming down a bit.
"How can you not be hungry? Last night, you were busy until so late." Lu Xingzhi sat up from the bed, "Now I feel like eating, let’s go downstairs first!"
"Alright." Huo Jincheng got up too, his deep eyes brimmed with a hint of mischief, "Do you want me to carry you down?"
