At that time, he had just finished lunch and was about to get in the car to go to her house. He glanced at her briefly, couldn't see her face clearly, but her sparkling eyes were very clear.
Amusingly, such a brazen little girl.
Fate is indeed mysterious.
"Let's go!" Huo Jincheng said lightly, withdrawing his thoughts.
In such a torrential rain, even with an umbrella, it's easy to get wet clothes.
Lu Xingzhi shrank a bit, and Huo Jincheng discreetly lowered the umbrella a little, leaning it more towards her. The two were very close, under the support of an umbrella, there was a hint of ambiguity.
Lu Xingzhi didn't feel much else, just thought Huo Jincheng was somewhat gentlemanly.
When Huo Jincheng came out, Wei Yang had already gotten off the car and was running towards him.
"Sir, a nearby old man just said that the water level of the river ahead has risen, already covering the bridge. We can't go for now, and this kind of heavy rain isn't suitable for driving either."
Huo Jincheng did not speak but looked at Lu Xingzhi.
However, Lu Xingzhi's pretty little face stiffened a bit, what kind of situation is this?
Taking a deep breath, she tried hard to squeeze out a smile, "Since it's like this, why don't you rest in the house for a bit? Wait until the rain lessens and the river water recedes before heading out."
"Alright!" Seeing Lu Xingzhi's reluctant yet pained expression, Huo Jincheng's mood, which was just gloomy, suddenly lifted, feeling somewhat joyful.
When the two of them were heading back with the umbrella, perhaps because it was raining and the ground was too slippery, Lu Xingzhi didn't step steadily and fell backwards.
Just as she thought she would fall, suddenly a large hand wrapped around her waist, keeping her upright.
However, because of the force, before Lu Xingzhi could stand steadily, she bumped into his chest.
Startled, she rubbed her nose, looking at Huo Jincheng.
The distance between them was quite close, they could feel each other's breath.
"Thanks!" Lu Xingzhi whispered her thanks and cautiously stepped back a little.
Her heart was beating fast, unsure if it was due to being so close to a man that made her nervous, or because she almost fell, feeling frightened.
Huo Jincheng's thoughts were simpler; it was his first time having contact like this with a girl. Her waist was slim, hardly graspable, felt good and quite soft.
Do all girls have waists like this?
"Umm... shall we go inside!" Lu Xingzhi's face was a bit hot, just wondering whether Huo Jincheng did it intentionally or not, it felt like he pinched her waist a little.
But, looking at Huo Jincheng's calm and composed demeanor, so elegant and dignified, Lu Xingzhi felt she might be overthinking it - how could someone like him take advantage of her.
"This rain won't stop anytime soon. If you don't mind, why not have dinner here?" Lu Xingzhi didn't genuinely want to invite Huo Jincheng and his group, but it was awkward to eat while having others watch.
"Don't mind." Huo Jincheng responded with three words.
Lu Xingzhi: "..."
Couldn't even be a bit reserved.
The house wasn't really more comfortable than outside, it was slightly stuffy.
Lu Xingzhi's home didn't have air conditioning, only a fan.
After turning on the fan, she also turned on the TV in the living room, placing the remote next to Huo Jincheng. Then she went straight to the kitchen.
Soon, she had washed and cut all the ingredients, ready to cook.
She already knew how to cook when she lived with her grandfather.
