Genius Girl is the Big Shot's Beloved Treasure-Chapter 871: Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

Lu Xingzhi hesitated a bit, "Otherwise, you pretend you didn’t hear it, and I’ll pretend I didn’t say it. Let’s have you say it again!"

Huo Jincheng: "..."

Alright!

She’s pretty, so whatever she says is right.

He thought his wife was really adorable.

She even knew how to retract things.

For someone like her who’s bad with technology, knowing this is really impressive.

"Uncle, I’ll think of you when I have time," Lu Xingzhi reassured him.

Huo Jincheng: "..."

He didn’t find those words pleasant at all.

It didn’t comfort him in the least.

When she has time?

Are you sure?

He really doubted that Lu Xingzhi would think of him.

After all, she was too carefree.

But it’s alright, he could take the initiative instead.

"Even when I don’t have time, I’ll make time to think of you," Lu Xingzhi seemed to realize her previous words weren’t right and added another sentence.

However, she already had a reputation, so Huo Jincheng didn’t quite believe her.

"No need to wait until you have time. When we meet, just express your longing for me properly," Huo Jincheng smiled slightly evilly.

"Express my longing? How should I express it?" Lu Xingzhi, although she understood many jokes, didn’t understand them all.

She knew as much as she did now thanks to Helian Xi and Amanda.

Especially Amanda.

Who shared many "boudoir anecdotes" with her.

And specifically emphasized that if they weren’t friends, she wouldn’t have told her so much.

Huo Jincheng chuckled, "Express it in the way you think is right!"

"What’s the right way? Just tell me directly! I don’t like going in circles," Lu Xingzhi lightly frowned, "Or do you think this is part of the fun too?"

Huo Jincheng: "..."

He really couldn’t hold too much hope in her emotional intelligence.

He could only give a hint: "Naturally, it’s ’absence makes the heart grow fonder’."

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder?" Lu Xingzhi repeated it, pondered for a moment, then seemed to understand something, her lips twitching as she offered two words to express her mood.

An emotionless: "Heh heh..."

"What? You don’t want to?" Huo Jincheng spoke with a hint of subtle threat in his words.

"I’m very willing. But it’s still too early to talk about this, let’s discuss it when the time comes!" Lu Xingzhi rubbed her face, "Uncle, concentrate on your work! I won’t disturb you anymore."

When the time comes, I’m afraid I won’t sleep well all night.

Or want to lie in bed all day.

Lu Xingzhi was a bit intimidated by Huo Jincheng’s stamina too.

"Not disturbed, or rather, I enjoy being disturbed by you." Huo Jincheng leaned back lazily and casually.

Lu Xingzhi: "Alright then! Seems like you miss me a lot, I’ll accompany you and chat a bit more!"

The two of them idly chatted for nearly an hour, by the time Lu Xingzhi got up, she realized it was almost ten at night.

After washing up again, she didn’t even feel like eating, and went straight to bed.

Regaining her student status, Lu Xingzhi received a WeChat message from Fu Yanzhi a week later.

[Little Zhi Liao, if it’s not an inconvenience, would you have time to go for a meal together? I remember you mentioned enjoying Alva’s books before, and I happen to have a signed copy here. I think it holds more meaning in your hands than in mine.]

Lu Xingzhi wanted to refuse, but the name Alva was a big temptation for her.
