According to Zhongli Wuzhi’s aesthetic standards, Princess Chinian absolutely didn’t fit within them.
Song Lili hesitated, wondering if she should tell Lu Xiaoer?
After all, when Little Ear was leaving, Song Lili had promised her that if there was any news, she would tell her imdiately...
Pacing back and forth...
After much hesitation, Song Lili still decided to follow her own thoughts.
Princess Chinian didn’t have the opportunity to stay here permanently, Wen Nian had already gone to discuss with Prince Chiluo, so...
Talking about whether they were dating or not, it was actually just Zhongli Wuzhi playing house with Princess Chinian.
Thinking this, Song Lili still decided not to tell Lu Xiaoer.
Wen Nian couldn’t get in touch with Prince Chiluo.
So, they just had to let the night pass, and would talk about it tomorrow.
———
They say, in love, the person who loves more, gives more, and the one who gives more, hurts more.
This saying is quite true.
Lu Xiaoer felt she really experienced it.
———
"Dr. Lu, where are you going for lunch?"
"Just stepping out for a bit."
Lu Xiaoer said with a chuckle, her expression was rather mysterious.
"Do you need to drive you there?"
Song Jing ca over and asked her.
Lu Xiaoer shook her head, "Thank you, Song Jing, no need. I’ll be back before the lunch break ends."
"...Where are you going?"
Song Jing asked further.
Lu Xiaoer still didn’t say much, only making a ’keeping it secret’ gesture.
Song Jing smiled, "Alright, if you’re keeping it so secretive, I won’t pry."
Lu Xiaoer smiled too.
"But... seeing you so spirited today, did you have a good rest at ho yesterday?"
"I visited a friend’s house yesterday, mm... my friend is also a pseudo-psychologist like you."
Lu Xiaoer joked.
"Anyway, seeing you look so good today, I’m relieved. Be careful on the road when you go out."
Song Jing said, patting her on the shoulder.
Lu Xiaoer laughed it off without a care.
She went out at noon and returned at half past twelve. On the way, she sent a ssage to Zhongli Wuzhi, asking him to co to the hospital if it was convenient during lunch or the afternoon, as she had sothing for him.
Next, it was waiting.
Waiting is also one of the most torturous things.
...
Chinian had her morning history class at the university, and Zhongli Wuzhi was already waiting outside.
As soon as she ca out, she saw Zhongli Wuzhi and imdiately ran over, showing him her phone,
——Have you been waiting long?
"Not really, not for long. Let’s go have lunch, what would you like to eat?"
Zhongli Wuzhi asked Chinian.
Chinian thought for a mont,
——Barbecue!
Zhongli Wuzhi laughed,
"Alright, then let’s go for barbecue."
The two got into the car, and Zhongli Wuzhi found a barbecue restaurant and then drove with purpose.
Once seated in the barbecue restaurant, Zhongli Wuzhi went to the restroom, and his phone was left on the table. It was at that mont that a text ssage ca through, and Chinian subconsciously glanced at it...
She only saw the sender’s na was "Little Ear."
But she couldn’t make out the content of the ssage.
Little Ear... Chinian actually didn’t know that Lu Xiaoer’s nickna was Little Ear.
But... almost by a woman’s intuition, Chinian knew that the ssage was from Lu Xiaoer.
Zhongli ca back from the restroom, sat down next to Chinian,
"Have you ordered yet?"
The sizeable private room was very quiet.
Princess Chinian shook her head,
— I was waiting for you to co, then we can order.
Zhongli Wuzhi smiled, called the server over, and quickly decided on the dishes. After wiping his hands, he had just picked up his phone when he noticed a text ssage.
If it had just been a text ssage, that wouldn’t have been so bad...
In an instant, Zhongli Wuzhi thought he had read it wrong; the sender of the ssage was...
His narrowed, fox-like eyes opened; he discreetly tapped open the ssage—
If you have ti, co to the hospital. I have sothing to give you. Send a ssage when you arrive, either at noon or in the afternoon.
Zhongli Wuzhi held his breath while reading the ssage.
It wasn’t until after he had finished reading it that he resud breathing normally.
He nonchalantly put his phone back down.
Princess Chinian knew the ssage was from Lu Xiaoer, but she was helpless to do anything about it.
She really, really wanted to ask Zhongli Wuzhi what the ssage said... could she see it?
But... she didn’t have the courage, afraid she might overstep her bounds.
And after reading the ssage, Zhongli Wuzhi didn’t say a word either.
Even though she was eating the barbecued at she herself wanted, the ssage made it taste bland to Princess Chinian.
Though Zhongli Wuzhi appeared the sa as ever, his attention and mind were clearly no longer at this barbecue table or with her.
Princess Chinian did not feel good about this.
"What’s wrong? Eating so little?"
Zhongli Wuzhi asked.
— You should eat too. I’ve eaten quite a lot.
"Is that what you call a lot? Xiao Qi, your appetite is like a chicken pecking at grains."
Princess Chinian smiled, thought for a mont, and then asked Zhongli Wuzhi,
— Do you have plans this afternoon?
"I don’t have anything special, just that a friend asked to pick sothing up."
Princess Chinian hurriedly pressed on,
— A friend? What kind of friend?
Zhongli Wuzhi saw the line of text and suddenly laughed, "What’s the matter? You know you look just like a little dog that has sniffed out danger, right?"
— What’s with that comparison, comparing to a dog?
Zhongli Wuzhi just chuckled and replied to her earlier question,
"I’ll be going to pick up the stuff later, and I’ll take you with . Does that reassure you?"
Princess Chinian had not expected Zhongli Wuzhi to say that at all...
Her mood instantly brightened.
The strength to eat barbecue returned in the latter half of the al, and it seed she had a bigger appetite than earlier.
After they finished their al, they drove to the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital entrance, Zhongli Wuzhi sent Lu Xiaoer a ssage—I’m at the entrance.
The ssage had just gone out when he received an instant reply from Lu Xiaoer—Okay, wait five minutes for , I’ll be right down.
"..."
Zhongli Wuzhi stared at the instant reply from Lu Xiaoer, taking a long ti to recover.
So... she could reply to ssages instantly.
He took a deep breath.
He got out of the car, leaving Princess Chinian inside to wait.
Zhongli Wuzhi’s heart was thumping chaotically in his chest.
Clearly, he was not as calm as he had thought...
Lu Xiaoer sought him out; this ti Lu Xiaoer had taken the initiative to contact him, saying she had sothing to give him...
Could it be a breakup gift?
He swore that if Lu Xiaoer dared pull out anything resembling a breakup gift, he would smash it in front of her.
What could it be?
Zhongli Wuzhi grew increasingly uneasy, wondering if it was too late to drive away now?
No... you shouldn’t have brought Princess Chinian here.
What if Lu Xiaoer wants to get back together? What if she’s reflected on things and wants to have a serious talk?
Knowing Little Ear’s temperant, might she turn and leave the mont she sees Princess Chinian in the car?
