It turns out everything he did was rely due to the needs of the task.
Thinking about this, Xu Xia suddenly felt a hint of sour disappointnt, and the chicken wings in her mouth seed bland and tasteless.
"What’s wrong?"
Noticing her unusual mood, Leng Zirui asked in confusion.
"Nothing!" Xu Xia snapped out of her thoughts, raised her hand to take his leftover chicken bones from his fingers, "You haven’t eaten yet, have you?"
"When you call, I imdiately co over; how could I dare waste ti eating?" Leng Zirui said with a smile.
Xu Xia smiled a little, "Pull over, let’s eat and then hit the road."
Following her advice, Leng Zirui parked the car by the roadside. She handed him one of the bags of fast food, and naturally, Leng Zirui wasn’t polite; he took it and started eating right away.
The two of them finished eating, wiped their fingers clean, and then continued heading into the city.
Xu Xia used a napkin to wipe the grease off her hands, occasionally glancing sideways at him.
Outside the window, the street lights flickered, and Leng Zirui’s handso face appeared and disappeared in the changing light.
That side profile boasted near-perfect lines.
"Handso, right?!"
As she was lost in thought, Leng Zirui suddenly turned his face toward her, eting her gaze and asking.
Xu Xia was startled, quickly drawing back her eyes.
"Narcissist!"
Pressing the brake, Leng Zirui directly parked the car outside her apartnt building, "I’ve got sothing to do, won’t walk you upstairs. Be careful when you shower, don’t let the wound get wet, or it might get infected."
"Alright!" Xu Xia then noticed they had returned to his building, opened the car door, and stepped out, "Drive safely."
Watching her walk up the steps, Leng Zirui already rolled down the car window, "Xu Xia!"
Hearing his voice, Xu Xia turned her face questioningly.
"If you ever need , just speak up. As long as Xu Xia says the word, I, Leng Zirui, will face any ordeal without hesitation! Alright, see you!" Waving at her, Leng Zirui drove off into the distance.
Standing on the steps, watching his car tail lights fade away, Xu Xia felt a sense of lancholy and loss.

The farm outside the city.
Leng Zimo put Luo Jun, who finished his nap, back on the bed to continue sleeping, straightened up, exited his room, rubbed his temples, then turned to the stairs and went down to take a painkiller from the dicine box.
Ah Jiu saw and imdiately brought over a cup of water.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"A little headache." Leng Zimo took the water cup handed over, swallowed the pill, "How’s the preparation going?"
"Everything should be ready in about a week." Ah Jiu watched his side profile with concern, "You seem to have frequent headaches these days, maybe you should go to the hospital for a check-up?"
"It’s nothing, probably just tired lately." Leng Zimo turned towards the stairs, walked a couple of steps, then paused, "Don’t ntion this to the madam, no need to worry her."
"I heard about your headaches earlier; headaches can be serious or minor, you really should get checked out." Ah Jiu glanced at his complexion, "If you won’t go to the hospital, I’ll have to tell the madam and let her take you!"
Leng Zimo smiled slightly, "Now even you dare to threaten ?"
Ah Jiu lowered his face, "I’m just concerned about your health."
Leng Zimo smiled helplessly, "Alright, I will find ti to get checked by Yizhou, it’s getting late, you should go to bed early too."

Good afternoon. Hehe, Xu Xia has quite the controversy.
