She really suspects that someone has possessed him or that the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken with bad intentions. They would have fallen to the ground long ago if her back could get goosebumps.
She turns her head and observes him suspiciously.
Lu Zhining puts the cup that he just forgot to put on the coffee table and asks softly, "What's wrong?"
His calm tone makes Zhou Ji'an feel that she is making a fuss, as if he has always been a friendly and caring person. She reflexively answers, "Nothing..." and subconsciously touches her nose with her index finger, "Nothing."
Qian's mother, who is whispering to Qian's father not far behind the two of them, has starry eyes on her face, clenches her fists, and excitedly puts them in front of her chest: "It's progressing so fast!"
"These two children are really a good match! At this rate, they will be together soon." Qian's father silently complains in his heart: If I don't know, I would think it will be tomorrow.
Looking at Lu Zhining, who is completely different from the one in the study, he sighs: "Don't worry about it; these two kids are very familiar with each other; look how enthusiastic they are." Look at this pretending good apprentice!
Qian's mother is only concerned with being happy and misses the point: "Look at what I have done."
Qian's father looks up at the ceiling and says, "..."
Lu Zhining doesn't stay long in the afternoon. He takes a phone call and leaves.
Zhou Jianan accompanies the old couple to watch the moon until nearly nine o'clock before leaving.
…
Zhou Ji'an rushed out of the classroom as soon as the class was over.
When she passed by Lu Zhining, she patted him, who was packing his books, and said, "Wait for me."
Lu Zhining turned his head and saw her rushing back. "Where are you going?"
Then he followed closely and watched Zhou Ji'an rush into the men's bathroom.
At that time, the men's and women's bathrooms in high school were no different from single rooms. In addition, the layout of the newly replaced teaching building was completely different from the previous one.
Zhou Ji'an, who was not familiar with the surrounding environment, naturally did not notice anything.
Lu Zhining put a sign in the middle of the entrance and walked in slowly. After checking that only one door was locked and no one was inside the other doors, he knocked on that entrance.
Zhou Ji'an felt a hot stream gushing out, and she couldn't help but feel like crying, thinking that it would be great if the person knocking on the door were someone he knew. "Who is it?"
Lu Zhining said with a hoarse voice, but with a mischievous smile on his face, "Me."
Zhou Ji'an's heart tightened. Why is it a man? She immediately imagined many social headlines about toilets: "This... This... This is the women's toilet; you must have gone to the wrong place."
While answering, she used her eyes to look for any weapons in the toilet.
Lu Zhining listened to her stuttering voice and laughed twice. It was normal for Zhou Ji'an not to recognize whose voice it was just now.
Now that she heard such a familiar voice, she would be a fool if she still didn't know who it was: "Oh, you are sick! How did you, a man, enter the women's toilet? Can you talk properly? Don't act weird, okay?"
Lu Zhining said seriously, "First, this is the men's toilet, and second, is there something on your pants?"
Zhou Ji'an: "..."
After a long silence, Zhou Ji'an knocked on the door, and Lu Zhining said: "Are you checking if I'm deaf?"
Zhou Ji'an: "I just want to see if you're still here."
Lu Zhining: "Go ahead; I'm still here."
Zhou Ji'an supported her head with one hand, prepared to be taken advantage of by her misfortune: "Could you help me buy... please?"
Lu Zhining pretended not to understand: "What did you say?"
Zhou Ji'an roared, "Sanitary pads!"
Lu Zhining said, "One month's worth of clothes."
Zhou Ji'an was afraid that he would raise any more conditions, so she immediately said, "Deal."
But seeing that she agreed so readily, Lu Zhining felt that he had lost out, so he added weight: "Add one month's worth of socks."
Zhou Ji'an, whose fate was held by the throat, said, "Don't push the limits!"
"Just say it; is it okay?"
Zhou Ji'an broke out a line of words from between her teeth.
Lu Zhining walked out happily, and Zhou Ji'an suddenly said: "Do you know what it looks like? It's a bit like a Band-Aid."
After saying that, she felt stupid. Could he open it and take a look?
"If you don't know, ask a supermarket salesperson. I want xx brand. Don't buy the wrong one. The money is in my schoolbag." After saying that, she realized that Lu Zhining had already left.
After he came back and stuffed a pack of tissues into her from the bottom, he looked at the other big thing in his hand with embarrassment.
It would definitely not fit in if he stuffed it all in.
If he threw it from the top, Zhou Ji'an would definitely not be able to catch it with her IQ, so he opened it and handed one piece to Zhou Ji'an.
There was a sanitary pad between his two slender, white fingers. Zhou Ji'an felt indescribably subtle.
Hearing the rustling sound inside, Lu Zhining's ears suddenly turned red, as if she thought of something.
Zhou Ji'an stood in the toilet room for a long time without going out, always feeling that she had overlooked something, and then suddenly an idea came to her: "Take off your clothes and give it to me."
Lu Zhining subconsciously made a condition: "One month's pants."
Zhou Ji'an said numbly, "Okay, throw it to me from the top."
Lu Zhining said: "If it falls on the ground, the clothes, pants, and socks for the rest of your life will all be yours."
Zhou Ji'an: "..." Oh my god!
