Lu Xingzhi handed the box to him, touched her ear, and then said a little shyly, "It’s not an expensive gift, but it’s what I think suits you best."
She actually spent a long time choosing the gift, but she stopped in front of this item. Because this gift reminded her of Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng opened the box, and inside was a Sun Crystal Ball.
Zhi Zhi’s enchanting eyes looked softly at Huo Jincheng, her gaze sincere, "Uncle, to me, you are the sun. When I embrace you, it’s like embracing a ray of sunshine. This gift isn’t costly, but it’s the one I most want to give."
Huo Jincheng pulled Lu Xingzhi into his arms, his voice deep and tender, "Baby, I am the sun, I will always shine on you. I will fill your life with sunlight and keep your heart free of gloomy days."
"Okay!" Lu Xingzhi smiled brilliantly at him.
She held Huo Jincheng’s hand and said softly, "You know, I used to be alone. To me, the future was uncertain. Alone, without family or friends, striving forward but with no way home. I had no ties, I couldn’t find a direction. Even though I tried so hard."
Lu Xingzhi had never told anyone about this, she, the child from another family, had no family, her family could no longer hear others praise her.
No one to share her joys and sorrows, she would always envy when she saw naïve girls arguing or being spoiled with their parents.
"I worked hard at life because I was still quite lucky. At least, I received plenty of love. My family loved me very much. Uncle, from now on, where you are is my home. How lucky I am to have met you. With you, this winter is no longer cold."
"Zhi Zhi, with me here, don’t be afraid to move forward. I will always stand by your side, always accompany you." Huo Jincheng felt so much heartache, he just wanted to make Lu Xingzhi happy.
"Don’t feel sorry for me. I didn’t say it for that reason, I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for your presence." Lu Xingzhi leaned in Huo Jincheng’s embrace, "I just wanted to say, I really like you."
Zhi Zhi didn’t want to continue this topic anymore, her lips painted with orange lipstick, smiling brightly, "So now, can I kiss you?"
Huo Jincheng: "..." Google seaʀᴄh novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Lu Xingzhi changed the topic too quickly, and it didn’t connect at all, leaving him suddenly stunned.
When he finally reacted, he heard Lu Xingzhi say, "Can’t I? Or don’t I need to?"
"Getting naughtier." Huo Jincheng picked her up, "I’m waiting for you to kiss me."
The lights in the living room were dim, and ever since Lu Xingzhi said she wanted to celebrate Huo Jincheng’s birthday, except for serving dishes and cleaning the table.
The servants had very tactfully left.
Leaving the space entirely to them.
"Zhi Zhi, Zhi Zhi..."
"I’m here!" Lu Xingzhi nestled in Huo Jincheng’s arms, "I will always be here."
"You’ve given me so many surprises today, what should I give you?" Huo Jincheng
"You are the best gift heaven could have given me."
The two of them lingered affectionately for a while before finally going upstairs.
Just before going back to her room, Lu Xingzhi suddenly stopped.
"Xixi said the best gift for you is me wrapping myself up for you, what do you think?"
