Chapter 1509: I'm Really Starting to Like You

“Are you trying to explain to me? Afraid I’ll misunderstand?” Chengying supported her little face, smiling sweetly.

Lu Tingshen placed a bun on her plate, “You’re just a kid, don’t think too much.”

“Compared to you, I’m obviously younger. But I know what I need to know. Everyone around me is older, and I’ve watched them fall in love, break up, fall in love again, some even got married.”

Chengying was both agreeing and disagreeing with his words.

“That’s their business, don’t start dating early,” Lu Tingshen said.

“True,” Chengying nodded.

“Little Crystal!” Lu Tingshen’s tone deepened a bit.

“Alright! I won’t say anymore.” Chengying actually found amusement in this.

Teasing Lu Tingshen seemed quite interesting.

After breakfast, Little Crystal started watching dramas, still those melodramatic family ethics ones.

“Can you switch to another type? Watching these every day, doesn’t it make you feel uneasy?” Lu Tingshen thought watching too much of this kind of drama might not be good for one’s mind.

“Not at all! I feel very comfortable,” Chengying held a cup of lemon water, just about to take a sip, when Lu Tingshen took it away.

“Don’t drink cold things during your period, you should know better.” Lu Tingshen was slightly annoyed, “Your stomach hurt so much yesterday, weren’t you aware?”

“Oh, I forgot.” Chengying didn’t drink it then, and poured herself a cup of plain water.

“Have some cherries! But don’t eat too many.” Lu Tingshen handed her a plate of cherries, placing it in her hands.

“Thank you,” Chengying held the plate and added, “You’re so nice, I might really start to like you.”

“Then maybe you should return it to me! I’m afraid of breaking a woman’s heart,” Lu Tingshen felt a headache coming on. Really, she’s going through a rebellious phase?

Or perhaps, he never truly understood her.

“This won’t do! No matter what, I’m really pretty. Someone like me, if you’re not interested in dating me, what kind do you like?” Chengying blinked slyly.

“Little Crystal, if you keep this up, I’m going to get mad.” Lu Tingshen said, pretending to be stern.

“Okay! I won’t say anymore.” Chengying popped a cherry into her mouth and continued watching TV.

Yet Lu Tingshen felt a tiny bit uncomfortable inside.

Without thinking too much, he stayed at home today since it was a day off, working from home instead of going to the office.

Their interaction was quite harmonious.

Chengying came back to rest this time, not planning to go back to military training.

After all, she already knew what the training felt like.

It wasn’t about trying to be special; with her period lasting seven days, going back later would mean falling behind completely.

Early the next morning, Lu Tingshen was awakened by the melodious sound of a violin.

Opening the door, he found Chengying playing violin on the balcony.

She wore a flesh-pink long dress, her black hair falling straight down her back.

He noticed her delicate profile and the elegant charm of her playing.

The morning sunlight was gentle, scattering finely over her, in that moment, she seemed like a goddess walking out of Ancient Greek mythology.
