"No, Dad... I’m doing great outside. Got plenty of money..."
"Oh, that’s good, Dad hasn’t heard from you in a long ti, cough cough, cough cough cough... Are you having fun out there? Where are you now?"
"Dad, how long have you been coughing? It sounds... so serious..."
"No, it’s nothing! The weather has gotten colder recently, I just caught a cold because I wasn’t careful, many people are going through the sa thing, so you need to be extra careful when you’re out there by yourself, you know? Don’t get sick."
"...Dad, I’m back in the country now, but not in Anlin. I’ll be back in Anlin in a couple of days."
"Lili... did Xiangqiao tell you sothing? You enjoy your trip, cough cough cough... really, don’t worry about Dad, don’t let ruin your travels."
"Dad, what are you thinking about? Are you saying... what? You don’t want to co ho?"
"No, no! Of course, Dad wants you ho!"
"Then you take good care of yourself, don’t still be ’cough cough cough’ nonstop when I co back."
"Alright, alright! Just tell which day you’re coming back in advance, cough cough... I’ll go to the airport to pick you up!"
"Forget it, just stay at ho and get well, okay?"
Song Lili sighed. She really feared that this old man would keep on nagging.
After finishing the call with her father, Song Lili felt as if she had put down a stone in her heart, yet at the sa ti, it felt like another had been placed on it.
Perhaps that’s just how blood relations are; no matter how many faults he has, a father is always a father. As long as he offers a bit of warmth, you’ll be as happy as a child with candy.
In this world, which child doesn’t want a father’s affection and a mother’s love?
She had agreed to her father to go ho and visit him, now the rest was... to ask for leave from Lu Ziqing.
Thinking about that, Song Lili felt really overwheld.
She tidied up the room a bit, thought about how to phrase it, and then called Lu Ziqing,
"Tang Xiaohua, are you still at school?"
"Ah? Um... still, still here."
"Wait for , I’m coming to pick you up."
After that, Lu Ziqing had already hung up. Song Lili blinked, did she just make a "prank call"?
She hadn’t said anything yet, how was he already coming to pick her up?
There was no choice, Lu Ziqing was just that kind of person who did as he pleased. When the officer commanded, she could only wait.
Lu Ziqing drove a military jeep, parked in the training ground’s parking lot. After receiving his notice, Song Lili hurried over.
"Get in."
"...Oh."
Lu Ziqing was accustod to being decisive and forceful, while Song Lili really did not want others to see her getting into Lu Ziqing’s car.
"Brother Lu, it’s just you?"
"Otherwise, who do you want to keep you company?"
"Keep... company? Company what?"
Song Lili was puzzled once more.
"A new movie just ca out these days, and as it happens, I’m free and tomorrow is the weekend. Let’s go watch a movie together."
"Brother Lu?"
"What is it?"
Lu Ziqing casually asked, while the car had already left the military academy and headed towards the county town...
"You... are you asking out to watch a movie?"
"...Yes, I’ve made it quite obvious. What, you wouldn’t be unwilling, would you?"
Song Lili took a deep breath, looking at Lu Ziqing, she really hadn’t seen such a man before, "Shouldn’t you have asked first, then decided whether to co pick up or not?"
"No need, I’m your instructor. If you don’t accompany to watch the movie, I’ll make things difficult for you."
Lu Ziqing spoke with an open and honest face, his bright eyes full of amusent.
