"You don’t need to play anymore; it’s already excellent. How about this! I’ll take you back first." This is already good enough, to be blunt, it’s simply perfect.
This is much better than when playing with Shen Xinzhu together.
"Okay. Then I’ll play a few more times when I get back!" Lu Xingzhi stood up, "No need for you to take me, you’re so busy, I can go back myself."
"I’ll have Ding Shan take you back then!" Helian Yi didn’t insist since he indeed had a lot of things to deal with.
When Lu Xingzhi followed Ding Shan out, Tang Shicheng finally spoke up: "With such a perfect face, a genius persona, and the ability to play the piano, if she enters the entertainment circle, who knows how famous she’d become!"
"You can only think about it," Helian Yi said coolly from the side.
"Speaking of which, when her interview video aired back then, many entertainment companies took notice. Look at her, height and temperament, eloquence and manners, most importantly, top-notch looks, and she got into Jing University. If she got into the entertainment circle, she would definitely become a hit."
Tang Shicheng felt it was a pity, but also relieved, at least she wouldn’t be poached by other companies.
"The company also had that idea." Helian Yi didn’t even know such a thing existed.
Tang Shicheng raised an eyebrow, "Of course. It’s a treasure. Just a pity that on the day the video aired, she went to attend military training. And it was half a month, so things just faded over time. But it was strange that there was no follow-up on the matter. Today, knowing she’s your third sister-in-law, I finally understand."
Helian Yi nodded, then said nothing more.
Lu Xingzhi returned home in the afternoon, changed into casual home clothes, and then went to the study.
Pushing the door open, she saw Huo Jincheng sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, leaning lazily against the wall, with a book in his hands.
He was focused, turning the book using just the hand holding it, pinching the book between his ring finger and little finger, using his thumb to flip pages.
Today he was dressed casually, a set of silver-gray home clothes, which obviously was very ordinary clothing, but when worn by him, carried an inexplicable sense of elegance.
The sunlight streamed through the glass, casting onto his body, like a faint halo, gentle and warm as jade.
Perhaps because Lu Xingzhi’s gaze lingered on him for too long, Huo Jincheng noticed, and looked over at her.
He smiled, like a breeze in the hot summer, refreshing and comfortable.
He closed the book, placed it aside, and beckoned Lu Xingzhi over.
"Zhi Zhi, come here."
Lu Xingzhi walked towards him, as soon as she reached his side, Huo Jincheng pulled her onto his lap. He spoke gently, "Was everything smooth?"
Lu Xingzhi nodded with a blush, "Um."
Even though they had been intimate before, she still wasn’t used to it and would be shy.
"That guy didn’t bully you, did he?" Huo Jincheng thought it wouldn’t be possible, after all, Helian Yi wasn’t brainless.
But he still had to confirm to feel reassured.
"That’s good." Huo Jincheng hugged her soft body, wrapped around her slender waist, always feeling like she’s a delicate flower, a gentle pinch would break her.
