Chapter 407: Chapter 444: Watching the Flag-Raising Ceremony
Afterwards, she furrowed her little brows, asking with a hint of confusion:
“Are you hiding something in your pants? Are you also carrying a flashlight with you all the time?”
At those words, Shen Lin: “…”
His eyelids twitched violently, and when he opened his eyes to stare at her, he couldn’t help but say with a mixture of laughter and helplessness:
“What the hell flashlight? I’ve also got a bat hidden. Damn anyone who annoys me!”
Somehow, as she felt something was amiss and slowly came to realize what it was, her cheeks began to heat up.
At that moment, suddenly a voice calling her from inside the house could be heard.
Her heart trembled, and she abruptly pushed him away.
She didn’t look at him again, and ran off in a hurry.
Yet her face was burning like fire.
Watching the girl dash away hurriedly, Shen Lin’s gaze grew even more profound.
He had never seen such a stubborn little mouth in his life.
But indeed, the young girl was just a young girl, inherently pure.
He didn’t linger any longer, glanced down at himself, chuckled softly, shook his head in resignation, and left.
And when Li Zaijun returned home,
Lu’s mother was in her room, having prepared cold medicine for her, genuinely worried she might feel unwell.
Seeing her enter with her face all red, Lu’s mother immediately furrowed her brow, worriedly said:
“Come here, let me see. Why is your face so red? Are you feverish?”
Lu’s mother’s hand touched her forehead.
Li Zaijun’s gaze flickered, extremely embarrassed, she stammered, “No, it’s nothing, I’ll be okay after some sleep.”
“You child, you’re burning up. You must have a fever, especially after going out into the cold just now…”
Lu’s mother couldn’t help but continue to nag about something, but Li Zaijun wasn’t really listening, it went in one ear and out the other.
Her mind was buzzing messily, filled with the image of him pressing her against the wall earlier.
He was downright a ruffian.
Just thinking about what he said about ‘blood rushing and localized hardening’ made her feel mentally shattered.
Initially, she really hadn’t grasped the situation.
Not until she faintly sensed an unusually intense heat.
Although she wouldn’t hate him, liking him was absolutely impossible; she just tried to view him indifferently.
But whether they could ever meet again was another matter.
It had been just a coincidence to meet him in the first place.
In the early morning, while it was still somewhat dark, Wen Xian suddenly felt a warm damp cloth wiping her face, her neck. She opened her eyes groggily.
Seeing her soundly asleep, Lu Xiao truly didn’t bear to wake her up.
Today was the day he had promised to take her to watch the flag-raising.
The flag-raising drew an incredibly large crowd, not only local residents but also myriad tourists who insisted on witnessing the ceremony at least once.
To many, it was an immensely solemn ceremony.
So they had to arrive early and queue up.
There were no special privileges in such places, and they would not use any, just like everyone else. If they arrived late, they would have to watch from the outer circle.
Seeing her eyes still partly closed, Lu Xiao gave her brows and eyes a gentle kiss and said softly:
“Good girl, keep sleeping.”
Having him there was enough.
It was indeed very early. Lu Xiao dressed her in a sweater, a vintage green long skirt, and cotton socks, from inside to out.
