Chapter 672: Zhi Zhi likes listening to his voice like this
"Yeah! We had dinner together yesterday."Huo Jincheng picked up a bowl of lean meat porridge, "When did you two become so close? You even ditched me to have dinner with him."
"Hmm? Why is today’s porridge sour?" Lu Xingzhi took a sip and frowned, putting it down.
"How could it be sour?" Huo Jincheng took a sip as well, "It’s fine, no problem."
"Pfft!" Lu Xingzhi couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud. "Uncle, I thought your bowl should be even sourer."
Huo Jincheng: "..."
"Just drink your porridge." Huo Jincheng glanced at her, pretending to be nonchalant as he picked up his chopsticks and picked up a meat bun.
He chewed slowly, his movements extremely elegant.
"It’s not like I went out alone with Helian Yi, Xiao Xi was there too! He wouldn’t possibly ask me out alone!" Lu Xingzhi placed a sour pickle on his plate, "This is sourer, it’s more suitable for you."
Lu Xingzhi ate one herself, it was so sour that she frowned, but she quite liked eating it.
The kitchen helped with it; an auntie made it herself; the taste was fantastic and it was crispy.
A little spicy with a hint of sweetness; it was perfect.
When Lu Xingzhi was abroad, she craved it so badly.
Huo Jincheng sometimes was really mean; during meals, he would purposely take a photo and send it to her.
Just to make her drool.
"That guy has ulterior motives, don’t mind him." When discussing other men with Lu Xingzhi, Huo Jincheng, whether it’s his younger brother, cousin, or friend, is always dismissive.
Unless, the person is married.
"Uncle, is it really okay for you to be like this?" Lu Xingzhi asked.
Huo Jincheng: "Perfectly fine."
Lu Xingzhi: "..."
As long as you’re happy.
"Zhi Zhi, you see, now you’re a public figure, Little Yi is also a top-tier influencer. If there’re any rumors about you two, his fans might bash you." Huo Jincheng spoke from the side.
"Nope! I remember when there were quite a lot of people shipping us, and a big part of them were his fans!" Lu Xingzhi just wanted to see Huo Jincheng’s expression change.
She said it on purpose.
"Zhi Zhi."
Lu Xingzhi, after finishing a bowl of porridge and two meat buns, put down her utensils.
"I get it, I don’t even know why you’re jealous. I just had dinner with him and Xiao Xi. Originally, it was Xiao Xi who was supposed to take me back, but she went on a date with Jin Yan."
But Huo Jincheng didn’t think so.
Helian Yi and Helian Xi, those siblings, used to follow him around a lot when they were little.
Even when they grew up, they would often visit him.
He knew them well.
Helian Yi wouldn’t suddenly invite Helian Xi to a meal for no reason.
"When he suddenly invited you to dinner, didn’t Xiao Xi suspect anything?" Huo Jincheng asked.
"How did you know that? You guys really deserve to be cousins; you know them well."
Lu Xingzhi suddenly burst out laughing, wondering how questionable Helian Yi’s character must be for both of them to have such doubts.
"Since you know, you should trust me. Keep your distance from these men. Do you think I’d lie to you? Zhi Zhi..." Huo Jincheng intentionally lowered his voice, adding a bit of magnetism to it.
He knew Lu Xingzhi liked hearing him speak like this.
"Don’t think that just by speaking like that you’ll fool me." Lu Xingzhi’s ears reddened, and awkwardly she got up, went to the living room, and turned on the TV.
