Chapter 1268: Was Our Zhi Zhi Nervous?
Ah Si’s words made Xiao Zulinqing’s expression stiff for quite a while.
It took quite some time before she snapped out of it.
"You’re mistaken. I just got rid of the bad parts in my life. After all, I already absorbed the good parts into my body." Xiao Zulinqing quickly found a reasonable explanation.
"Oh!" Ah Si nodded.
A few seconds later, he asked, "Were you embarrassed after seeing me, so you stopped smoking?"
"No, it wasn’t like that. I didn’t have much of a smoking habit anyway. It’s just that President Huo and Little Zhi Liao were showing off their love, and I didn’t want to be a third wheel there." Xiao Zulinqing thought her life is probably half and half!
It has both good and bad parts.
Perhaps that’s what life is.
Speaking of Lu Xingzhi and Huo Jincheng flaunting their affection, Ah Si could also relate.
He remarked, "Indeed, you shouldn’t be fooled by the boss’s serious demeanor; in private, he’s quite skillful at showing affection. When I’m driving them around, I’m constantly bombarded with their public displays of affection."
Xiao Zulinqing nodded in agreement.
"Exactly, but I think they’re not just demonstrating affection privately; they’re doing it openly! Look at President Huo, on Weibo, he acts extravagantly.
Boldly declaring his sovereignty, and letting everyone know he has money by setting up raffles, directly offering nine million. He even donated ten million. Of course, President Huo’s not like that—other than the ’I love you for life,’ it’s all about eternity. Is that private showing off? He’s truly the show-off himself!"
Xiao Zulinqing found it hard to say; she felt that the one who seemed truly serious was Lu Xingzhi.
This is truly a slow burn.
Clearly, she looks like a calm and restrained little fairy, but in private, with Huo Jincheng, she behaves like a young girl.
Sigh!
This is what love is!
"You’re right," Ah Si confirmed.
The two who were strangers at first became more familiar now that they had a topic to discuss.
Yet Xiao Zulinqing started to feel a bit anxious.
Was she turning her blind date into a brother instead?
But she didn’t realize, Ah Si found her quite interesting.
Not like some women who are awkwardly shy.
Straightforward and generous without any pretenses.
Xiao Zulinqing decided to find a place to sit with Ah Si, snacking on sunflower seeds and chit-chatting.
As for their bosses, well, maybe it’s better not to join them.
Sunflower seeds are definitely tastier than public displays of affection.
Huo Jincheng noticed Lu Xingzhi hadn’t finished her bowl of rice; she only ate a few bites of the dishes before putting down her chopsticks.
Sighing, he said, "I know you want to look good for the camera, and in such settings, you don’t want your stomach to protrude, but you shouldn’t starve yourself."
"I’m not starving myself. I’m already feeling 50% full. Such moments aren’t frequent; I’m not like this every day, so it’s fine." Lu Xingzhi knew Huo Jincheng was worried about her, "You bring me lunch, but you don’t seem to be eating better than me."
"I’m a man, not picky about food." Huo Jincheng could eat anything, he wasn’t that particular.
They were both sent to the military by their families, where being picky meant going hungry.
"Alright!" Lu Xingzhi stopped talking, sat on the sofa for a while, then stood up.
She walked back and forth in the room to aid digestion.
"How was filming today? Was Zhi Zhi nervous on her first try?"
