"That’s good, be good and remember it." Only then did Huo Jincheng slowly open Helian Xi’s voice message.
"Third Sister-in-law, the most beautiful Third Sister-in-law in the whole world, just keep my Third Brother in check! Don’t let him tell my parents. It’s all because I couldn’t keep my mouth shut; if it were closed, how could I have said it? Little Zhi Liao, why didn’t you tell me earlier that Third Brother was at your place!"
Helian Xi didn’t blame Lu Xingzhi, only blamed the timing of her message.
It was time to sleep already.
She shouldn’t have sent it to Lu Xingzhi at this time; she should have scheduled to meet Lu Xingzhi for afternoon tea tomorrow and told her then.
What a miscalculation.
But, Third Brother is in Little Zhi Liao’s room, so did they or didn’t they?
They probably didn’t.
Little Zhi Liao said so last time.
Third Brother must be doing it on purpose.
He must have counted on her big mouth to spread the word!
"He won’t say anything. Don’t worry! If he says something, I won’t talk to him anymore," Lu Xingzhi assured Helian Xi.
"Thank you! Third Sister-in-law, you truly are a beautiful woman combining both beauty and talent, smart, a super scholar. As pretty as a fish sinking or a bird alighting, as gorgeous as a closed moon or shamed flower. Beautiful and pure, elegant and charming, noble and gentle, innocent and radiant, the most sunny and dazzling lady!"
Helian Xi flattered Lu Xingzhi again.
Lu Xingzhi: "Thank you! I can’t accept it all, you take it instead!"
"Leave us be!" Huo Jincheng said coldly and dominantly, not wanting Helian Xi to disturb them anymore.
"Alright! Good night, Third Brother! Good night, Third Sister-in-law!" Helian Xi almost bowed her head and bent her back over the screen.
Blame Gu Jin Yan, blame him for not willing to beat up Huo Jincheng and coming up with a bunch of reasons.
Forget it, better not go after all. If she fails, it wouldn’t be good if Gu Jin Yan exposed her as the instigator.
"Zhi Zhi, let’s sleep too! It’s getting late, let’s get our beauty sleep!" Huo Jincheng played with Lu Xingzhi’s hair, he really liked her black hair.
Treating her hair like a toy, twisting it around his fingers to play.
"Can you let go of my hair then?" Lu Xingzhi glanced at his fingers, was her hair that fun to play with?
She didn’t feel it was!
"Zhi Zhi, I just remembered the first time we met." Huo Jincheng remembered that night when Lu Xingzhi’s hair got caught in his shirt button.
"You keep saying that!" Lu Xingzhi grumbled discontentedly: "You were already up to no good then, weren’t you!"
"Probably. Because you were so pretty." Or maybe because you were like a fresh bamboo shoot, tender and tasty.
"That’s a pretty good reason." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs ⓝovelFire.net
"That’s a fact, not a reason."
"Hm!" Lu Xingzhi’s eyes were both coy and angry, just a gentle glance made Huo Jincheng’s heart stir.
"Let’s sleep! I’m tired." Lu Xingzhi yawned and fell asleep directly.
No one sleeps faster than this, did she sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow?
Listening to Lu Xingzhi’s even breathing, Huo Jincheng slightly curled his lips and softly said, "Goodnight, my dear Zhi Zhi."
Whether Lu Xingzhi heard it or not, she mumbled something, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Waking up the next day, Lu Xingzhi checked the time, the time for her to go abroad was drawing near.
She truly felt a bit reluctant.
It was easier before not knowing so many people, but now that she did, especially having Huo Jincheng, she felt a sense of belonging.
