Chapter 349: Chapter 348 I Miss You

Even the most affectionate words, the most lingering phone calls, couldn’t compare to the real, beautiful moment of seeing him in person.

His smile, his everything, even his breathing felt wonderful to her.

Lu Zheng shared the same thought as Lin Xia; seeing her was what he looked forward to the most after they parted.

Now that the moment had finally come, what he really wanted to do was not to talk with a bit of distance between them but to give her an eager embrace.

With the same feelings, they both hurried home.

Before they reached the front door, they saw Wu Zhengyang coming out of the wide-open gate of the Wu Family.

When he saw Lu Zheng, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Brother Lu is here!"

Lu Zheng nodded with a light smile, "Hmm! Are you going out?"

He was already aware of Lin Qiu’s engagement to Wu Zhengyang.

This made him wonder when he could have such a moment with Lin Xia.

In fact, he would rather not have an engagement and just get married directly!

Wu Zhengyang looked at his future brother-in-law standing together with his sister; they truly made a handsome couple, exceptionally well-matched.

Since Lu Zheng only came by occasionally and they weren’t very close, Wu Zhengyang didn’t feel it was his place to tease.

"Yes! I’m going to buy some stuff! Let’s chat another time when you are free!"

"Sure!"

Afterward, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia entered the courtyard together.

Lin Qiu had already prepared breakfast and was waiting for them to come back and eat.

She was also delighted to see Lu Zheng, "Brother Lu! Was everything smooth on your way here?"

"It was very smooth!" Lu Zheng noticed that Lin Xia’s home seemed to have undergone major changes since his last visit; not only had the doors and windows been replaced with protective bars, but the TV had also been moved to the living room, and the sofa and coffee table had been replaced.

Lin Qiu quickly took off her apron, leaving some space for the two of them to be alone.

"I’ve finished eating! Sister, you and Brother Lu go ahead! I’m going to open the shop!"

"Alright, go ahead!" Lin Xia knew what the girl was thinking; after all, she was used to it.

Once Lin Qiu left, Lin Xia asked Lu Zheng to wash his hands.

But Lu Zheng, with a deep look in his eyes, opened his arms wide and embraced her, "Xiaoxia! I missed you!"

Night after night, he thought of her.

Now that she was within reach, he didn’t want to do anything else but to hold her tightly, inhaling her scent.

Lin Xia was taken aback by his sudden gesture but soon felt embarrassed, and she slightly bowed her head, breathing in his scent.

Eventually, her arms wrapped around him, "I missed you too!"

What’s the use of keeping love and longing in one’s heart? Now was the time to express it face to face. They didn’t have many days in a year to be together, and she wanted to boldly express her feelings instead of leaving him to guess.

"I just want to be with you like this forever!" Lu Zheng said, closing his eyes.

He was much taller than Lin Xia, so her small head nestled just below his collarbone. She gently inhaled the sweet fragrance emanating from her, and he quietly kissed the top of her head.

The two embraced for what felt like an eternity, only parting when their body temperatures rose and Lu Zheng’s breathing grew heavy.

With flushed cheeks, Lin Xia urged him, "Quick, wash your hands and eat! I’m starving!"

"Okay!" Lu Zheng replied with a smile, his gaze lingering on her face.

It was only after they both washed their hands in the kitchen that they finally sat down at the living room table to eat properly.

Lin Qiu had prepared a lavish breakfast, not just buns and clear porridge, rice, but also four side dishes.

Lu Zheng asked, "Which one of these did you make?" He wanted to eat the one she made the most, even if it were pickles.

Suppressing a laugh, Lin Xia replied, "The buns!"

"Good!" Lu Zheng picked up a bun and started eating.

Lin Xia inexplicably felt like laughing too, so she also picked up a bun and took a bite.

Both of them had buns in their mouths, gazing into each other’s eyes filled with deep affection and longing.

Neither wanted to look away, their eyes also a form of communication.

At least that’s what Lin Xia believed, as she saw love in Lu Zheng’s eyes.

Lu Zheng ruffled her hair, "Hurry up and eat! Weren’t you hungry?"

Lin Xia indeed was hungry, so she earnestly began to eat properly.

Lu Zheng had a bigger appetite than her, so naturally, he was a bit slower.

Lin Xia watched Lu Zheng eat, noting that despite his speed, he wasn’t the least bit rude.

She thought it must be a habit formed at work, as her elder brother ate incredibly fast when he came back home too.

But with Lu Zheng, it was also related to his upbringing, the elegance he exuded came naturally to him and wasn’t something he forced.

Seeing her stare unblinkingly at him, he said cheerfully, "Do you think your boyfriend has become even more handsome?"

"Don’t flatter yourself!" Lin Xia didn’t want him to feel too superior.

Pretending to frown, Lu Zheng asked, "So I’ve become uglier?"

"Not that either!" Lin Xia giggled. She found that when she was with Lu Zheng, she liked to act childish and immature.

"How should I put it, Lu Zheng! Isn’t it strange? We haven’t seen each other for such a long time, and at first, when I saw you, I felt you were a stranger, but after just a few words, that familiar feeling came back!"

Since Lu Zheng’s last visit, more than half a year had swiftly passed by.

During the days they hadn’t seen each other, she had used those memories to recall and miss him.

But at the very beginning when they truly met again, she felt oddly unfamiliar with him.

It was like, is this person Lu Zheng? Are these features, these eyes and brows, Lu Zheng’s?

Lu Zheng smiled, "I felt that too! But the moment you spoke, I knew it was still you, only more beautiful than before!"

"Really?" Lin Xia beamed inwardly. She had her conveniences; any cosmetic she liked she would try, and she felt that the skin on her face and body had become much smoother and fairer.

"Of course, it’s true!" Lu Zheng casually stroked her cheek, "So supple!" Soft and delicate, he thought, really wondering what it would taste like to kiss it.

How could Lin Xia know what Lu Zheng was thinking? She covered her face and pouted at him, "Alright, I believe you! Eat up! I’ll take you to the shop after we finish. I still need to open up!"

"Okay!" Lu Zheng shelved those fanciful thoughts and began to eat quickly.

After he finished, he helped Lin Xia with the bowls and chopsticks, and they quickly left the house.

Lin Xia asked Lu Zheng to get the bike ready, as her cosmetics shop was a bit far from home.

Walking would be slow, biking was more convenient.

After Lin Xia got on, Lu Zheng mounted the bicycle, carrying his beloved girl behind him. Riding gently into the breeze, he wished he could freeze this moment in time.

"Turn left!" Lin Xia directed from behind.

Lu Zheng took a wide turn, and Lin Xia, who had been holding onto the back of the seat, instinctively grabbed his lower back.

Lu Zheng had a triumphant smile on his face up front.

"You did that on purpose, didn’t you?" Lin Xia glared at him from behind.

"Hmm!" Lu Zheng didn’t deny it.
