"I haven’t been handling things on my own!" Lu Xingzhi looked up at him. "Uncle, I really depend on you, don’t doubt it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said those things to my family in front of you today."
"Is Qi Qi your childhood nickna?" Only now did Huo Jincheng realize that she had another na.
"Yes! I was born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, so my nickna is Qi Qi." Lu Xingzhi smiled gently, a sparkle in her eyes.
"Why didn’t you tell before?" Had Huo Jincheng known earlier, he would have called her that.
Now, he was used to calling her Zhi Zhi.
"Zhi Zhi sounds nice! Don’t you think my na, whether called Lu Lu or Xingxing, or even Zhi Zhi, all sound pleasant?" Lu Xingzhi thought her na lent itself well to nicknas.
"Xingzhi and Little Zhi are also nice, right? Little Lu and Little Xingxing are good too, aren’t they?" Lu Xingzhi’s smile grew more pronounced.
"They are very nice." Huo Jincheng had always thought Lu Xingzhi’s na was quite nice, and Little Lu and Xingxing knew it too.
They all knew, they all knew I love you.
"Zhi Zhi, take a rest first, and later we’ll go see Aunt Liu!" Huo Jincheng, seeing her eyes still a bit red, said tenderly.
"Okay." How could Lu Xingzhi refuse his kindness?
But just as they said this, Aunt Liu ca over herself.
"Xingzhi, it’s really you who’s returned. I just heard people saying they seed to see you. Sure enough, you’re really back." Aunt Liu’s voice was a little loud, but it was cheerful, not annoying at all.
"Aunt Liu, why did you co over? I just said I was going to see you." Lu Xingzhi felt a bit embarrassed; it’s not right for an elder to visit first.
She touched her ear, thinking she should have gone straight to Aunt Liu’s house first.
"What’s there to see for? Oh my! Little Xingzhi, is this your fiancé? He’s really handso." Aunt Liu appraised Huo Jincheng, exclaiming.
Was he a deity who descended from heaven?
How could soone look so good?
Indeed, only soone like him deserves their Xingzhi.
Aunt Liu always felt that Lu Xingzhi’s family was out of place with their village; they seed so unattainable.
Each one of them was good-looking and polite.
Aunt Liu had thought they would be difficult to get along with, yet they were willing to let her own son learn piano for free.
Although her silly boy had no talent at all.
Still, he learned a lot from them since childhood.
His excellent foreign language grades were thanks to their teaching, better than what the teachers taught.
Little Xingzhi sent her money every month, which Aunt Liu saved for her. It’ll be a dowry for when she gets married.
Aunt Liu was a very grateful person; with the kindness Lu Xingzhi’s family showed them, she couldn’t possibly take their money just for helping clean their house each month.
That wouldn’t be human.
She couldn’t stand how so people in the village, who once benefited from Xingzhi’s relatives when they were alive, treated Little Xingzhi like a stranger.
As if fearing she would ask for favors.
Aunt Liu was truly angry but felt she could do nothing about it.
"Hello Aunt Liu, I’m Huo Jincheng, Zhi Zhi’s fiancé." Huo Jincheng greeted politely.
