"Try to please me first." Huo Jincheng leisurely crossed his arms.
"How should I please you?" Lu Xingzhi couldn’t think of anything; Huo Jincheng lacked nothing.
"Think about it yourself."
"I’ll think about it carefully then." Lu Xingzhi pressed her lips together, fell silent, and pondered how to please him.
She couldn’t come up with anything by the time they returned to the villa, feeling hesitant as she entered the room.
Finding her amusing, Huo Jincheng asked, "Did you think of something?"
Huo Jincheng patted her head, "Keep thinking, no rush."
How can there be no rush? School starts tomorrow.
After a relaxing shower, her hair still damp and wrapped in a towel, Lu Xingzhi went to find Huo Jincheng.
She knocked on the door, heard a low "come in" from inside, and only then pushed it open.
She stopped dead in her tracks after taking a few steps inside.
Immediately covered her eyes.
Stutteringly explained, "I... I... I did... knock... on the door..."
"I... only came in... after your... permission..."
"Mm. I invited you in."
"Then... why aren’t you..." Why not put on clothes before inviting her in.
"What do you mean why? Zhi Zhi, can you explain more clearly?" Huo Jincheng found her reaction amusing, leisurely watching her.
Listening to Huo Jincheng’s voice and sensing he wasn’t angry, Lu Xingzhi cautiously spread her fingers to sneak a peek through them.
Because he had just showered, Huo Jincheng was wrapped only in a towel. His hair was still wet, not yet blow-dried.
This is Heaven’s favorite indeed!
Like a masterpiece intricately carved by the Creator, there was not a single flaw on his face or physique from any angle.
Though in his own room, there’s no fault in this.
But, she is a girl after all!
Lu Xingzhi gazed downward, seemingly frozen in place, and only snapped back to reality when she realized Huo Jincheng had somehow come closer.
Startled, she stepped back several times, and with a "bang," the back of her head hit the wall, causing her vision to spin with stars.
Huo Jincheng wrapped an arm around her and rubbed her head, "Why aren’t you careful? Weren’t you looking where you were going?"
"I was looking." Lu Xingzhi said guiltily.
"Really? I thought you were too focused on looking at me." Catching a glimpse of Huo Jincheng’s playful smile, Lu Xingzhi quickly pressed her fingers tightly together, covering her eyes completely.
"I... I... didn’t see anything." A vain attempt to deny the obvious.
Lu Xingzhi’s face was burning, as if she were being roasted by fire.
"So, why did you come to my room? Was it to confess to me?" Huo Jincheng knew it wasn’t the case, just suddenly interested in some mischief.
"No, no, no..." Lu Xingzhi shook her head vigorously, "I know my limits. You are as heavenly as a god, and I, as a humble human, dare not desecrate."
Huo Jincheng’s lips curved into a delighted smile as he leaned in toward her, "So?"
"No... no reason." Lu Xingzhi clung tightly to the wall, daring not to move.
"Are you really not here to confess?" Huo Jincheng restrained his laughter, not allowing himself to laugh aloud.
"No, absolutely not." Lu Xingzhi shook her head fiercely.
"Then it seems I haven’t tried hard enough." Huo Jincheng said, somewhat suggestively.
