Chapter 1519: Little Uncle, Does It Hurt?

“Alright!” Huo Chengying didn’t say more.

“Okay, I’m going to put on my clothes now.” Lu Tingshen put on his shirt, buttoned it up, and just as he stood up, Huo Chengying stopped him.

“Don’t move. Wait a moment, Uncle, you have some injuries on your forehead too. Let me clean them for you.”

Huo Chengying knelt on the sofa with one leg and supported her body with the other, moving very carefully.

“Uncle, does it hurt?” Huo Chengying asked, her movements becoming even gentler.

After cleaning, she placed both hands on Lu Tingshen’s shoulders and gently blew on them.

The two were very close, and Huo Chengying didn’t think much of it, but Lu Tingshen was quite uneasy.

The girl’s scent was all around him, sweetly.

He raised his eyes, and the girl’s face was crystal clear, her red lips pouting, moist, just like the strawberries on the table.

It made one want to take a bite.

It made his heart race.

Lu Tingshen had never been this close to a girl; if he were to say, the one he interacted with the most when he was young was also Huo Chengying.

Even now, it’s still her. Lu Tingshen felt this was very dangerous.

Should he consider starting a relationship?

“Uncle, what are you thinking about?” Huo Chengying had already tossed the cotton swab into the trash, but saw Lu Tingshen lost in thought.

“Nothing. Little Crystal, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, I won’t stay for dinner, I’ll head back first.” Lu Tingshen felt very ashamed of the inappropriate thoughts that had crossed his mind just a moment ago.

Unable to face Huo Chengying’s clear eyes right now.

“Oh, alright then! I’ll invite you for a meal tomorrow.” Huo Chengying didn’t question him.

“Tomorrow won’t work, I have a business trip for the next few days. I won’t be at home.” Lu Tingshen said.

“A business trip? But it’s National Day, shouldn’t you be relaxing?” Huo Chengying asked curiously.

“It’s abroad.” Lu Tingshen made an excuse.

“Oh, I see! You all are so busy, working so hard. Uncle, do take care of yourself!” Huo Chengying expressed her concern.

“Alright. I’ll be going now, bye!” Lu Tingshen didn’t dare to look her in the eyes, knowing he’d deceived her.

“Bye. When you return, I’ll treat you to a meal.” Huo Chengying waved at him.

“Mm.”

After leaving Huo Chengying’s place, Lu Tingshen went straight home.

And he stayed home, didn’t even go out when friends invited him.

He needed to cool down properly.

Yet, he couldn’t calm down.

Even though she was just a little girl who lived with him for a month, he had gotten used to her presence.

He always felt the house was filled with her shadow.

Several mornings, he heard her playing the violin on the balcony.

And for Huo Chengying, it had no effect at all.

Lu Tingshen saw Huo Chengying again ten days later.

He was having a meal with a client and happened to see Huo Chengying chatting happily with a boy.

He knew the boy; he was from the Si Family.

Si Cheng.

Three years older than Huo Chengying.

Si Cheng’s father, Si Jinghan, was friends with Huo Chengying’s father, Huo Jincheng, so their younger generation was naturally quite close.

However, seeing Huo Chengying smile so happily at Si Cheng, Lu Tingshen felt a bit upset.

There was an impulse to pull her away and hide her at home.

Only allowing her to smile that way at him.

“Mr. Lu?”

Lu Tingshen was lost in thought, until the partner called out to him, bringing him back to reality.

“Sorry, I just remembered something.”
