She had already witnessed something so shocking. If he could not give her something as shocking in the future, she would probably feel some degree of disappointment.
“Huo Jinyan, you… must be an idiot.”
Huo Jinyan laughed in confusion. “What did you say?”
“l said, you must be an idiot. You already sent something like this the first day, won’t you have to make the presents bigger day by day? If my future presents aren’t as impressive, I’m going to feel so disappointed.”
Huo Jinyan smiled and patted her head. “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
Lu Ning looked at him and turned to look at the flowers in the car. It was hard not to be moved by this scene.
She had just taken a step forward when she suddenly thought of something. She immediately stopped and even took two steps back.
Looking at her actions, Huo Jinyan was a little puzzled. “What’s wrong?”
“It’s fine. It’s just that my mother is allergic to pollen. It’ll make her uncomfortable if it gets on my clothes.”
She definitely could not go home with her clothes powdered with pollen.
Huo Jinyan had not thought of this.
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
Lu Ning: “? Keep what in mind?”
“That my mother-in-law is allergic to pollen.”
Lu Ning:
She looked at Huo Jinyan and scolded, “How shameless.”
Huo Jinyan smiled at her. “How can I woo you if I’m not shameless?”
Lu Ning was so annoyed that she laughed. Why haven’t I realized that Huo Jinyan is such a person before?
I really should have recorded the first time we met, so he could see how different he is now.
Huo Jinyan walked closer and stopped after taking two steps. He looked at her from a distance. “You should hurry back. I’ll follow you from behind.”
Lu Ning was stunned. What does he mean by following behind me?
Huo Jinyan seemed to have sensed it too. He looked at her and said, “l already have pollen on me after spending the entire afternoon alone with these flowers. So I won’t give you a hug. I’ll just follow you from behind.”
Lu Ning: ???
“Who asked you to hug me!?”
With that, she turned around and left.
Huo Jinyan chuckled and followed her.
Lu Ning started to walk briskly, but gradually slowed down. Hearing Huo Jinyan’s footsteps behind her, she felt very safe.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the neighborhood, Huo Jinyan said from behind, “When you go to school, if your parents or I are not around, give me a call. I’ll send you there. Same thing after school, understand?”
Lu Ning did not say anything. She stopped and turned to look at him. “Are you afraid that you’ll lose me?”
Huo Jinyan also stopped.
“Yes, so be a good girl and don’t give me a fright.”
Lu Ning looked at him. The cold breeze was blowing all around her, so why was her heart so warm?
Lu Ning went back and entered through the door quietly. She tried her best not to make any sound.
However, just as she was about to close the door, a voice suddenly called out behind her.
“Sister?”
Lu Ning was so frightened that her hair was almost standing on end.
She turned around and saw Lu Jingzhi standing at the door to his room, looking at her in confusion.
Lu Ning heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly took off her outerwear and hung them up. After locking the door, she walked over.
“Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
As she spoke, she glanced at his room.
There was a laptop on the bed in the room.
Lu Ning was startled and looked at him. “Are you still investigating?”
Lu Jingzhi nodded. “Yes, I want to check it more carefully.”
Lu Ning looked at him gently and patted his head. “Go to bed, Jingzhi. It’s alright, the police will catch the bad guys. Those girls will come back.”
Lu Jingzhi shook his head and looked at her. “l can’t take care of so many people, all I want is for my sister to be safe. The sooner we catch the bad guys, the sooner my sister will be safe..”
