With Huo Jincheng’s permission, Lu Xingzhi didn’t immediately push the door open; instead, she asked first, "Are you dressed?"
Hearing it was Lu Xingzhi, Huo Jincheng initially wanted to come over and open the door.
But he deliberately teased her, "Come in and take a look, and you’ll know."
"If you’re not dressed, I won’t come in." Lu Xingzhi was still somewhat nervous thinking about the last time.
With a smile on his lips, Huo Jincheng came out and opened the door, "I’m dressed, come on in!"
"I don’t have to come in. This is for you." Lu Xingzhi stood at the door, pushing the gift bag into Huo Jincheng’s hand.
"For me?" Huo Jincheng’s eyes sparkled with pleasant surprise, though he wasn’t entirely sure.
"Yes." Lu Xingzhi nodded, rubbing her ear, "It’s not a very lavish gift, compared to what you’ve given me, it’s nothing. But this is all the money I have. When I have more, I’ll give you something better."
"I like it a lot." Huo Jincheng hugged her, his smile bright and evident.
"You haven’t even seen it yet; how can you say you like it?" Lu Xingzhi felt a bit miffed, thinking Huo Jincheng was just humoring her.
"I don’t need to see it because since it’s from you, whatever it is, I’ll love it." Huo Jincheng opened it in front of her, and upon seeing it was a Buddhist Bead Bracelet, he understood her intention.
He lovingly patted her little head, then kissed her forehead.
"Zhi Zhi, I really love the gift. But in the future, keep your money for yourself; you don’t need to think about buying gifts for me. To me, your presence is the best gift. However, if you really want to give me gifts, why not spend more of my money? The more you spend, the happier I am."
"Who makes such requests?" Lu Xingzhi blushed as he gazed at her so deeply and affectionately.
"I don’t want you to hold back with me. When you spent money on clothes today, it made me happy. I don’t want you to be distant with me; I hope you see everything of mine as yours." Huo Jincheng, liking someone for the first time, wanted to give her everything he could.
"I got it, I’ll do my best." Lu Xingzhi wasn’t one to spend frivolously; she simply hadn’t found places to spend it.
She had more clothes and shoes than she could wear, so she didn’t need to buy anymore.
"You should go rest! I’m going back to my room." Having done what she needed to, Lu Xingzhi had nothing else to say.
"Aren’t you going to help me put on the bracelet?" Huo Jincheng extended his hand, gesturing.
"Do you want to wear it?"
"Of course, I want to wear it; what you’ve given me is the best." To Huo Jincheng, the gift itself wasn’t important.
What mattered was that Lu Xingzhi was gradually accepting him.
"Okay." Lu Xingzhi’s eyes shyly lowered, her face flushed, as she sincerely placed the bracelet on Huo Jincheng’s wrist.
With a voice both firm and tender, "I wish you a lifetime of peace and health."
"Zhi Zhi, I wish you a life free of worries too." Without saying lifelong happiness, because Huo Jincheng was confident he would provide it for her.
Huo Jincheng leaned down to kiss her lips, "If you’re not feeling well, rest early; be good, don’t play on your phone."
Lu Xingzhi returned to her room, lay on her bed, and patted her face.
Does he not know she’s still young?
"What exactly is it to like someone?"
