Huo Jinchen also said nothing more.

All the way to the restaurant, after having lunch, only then did he say what he had been wondering for a long time.

“Zhizhi, are you sure you don't want to go to a music school? I don't know why you didn't go to a music school with such great talent. I didn't ask you before, you probably had your own reasons. However, if you want to change your decision, it's still not too late. I can let you go to the best music school."

Lu Xingzhi poured herself a cup of tea and took a small sip. Drooping her eyes, it was a moment before she looked up at him, “I was twelve years old when I got my admission letter to the Curtis Inst.i.tute of Music.”

Huo Jinchen didn't show any surprises, just curious as to why she didn't go.

“Is your English so good because you deliberately learned it for your studies there?”

“Nope. My father taught me both piano and English. I was only twelve years old at the time, and he and my grandparents couldn't bear to send me abroad. It just didn't occur to me that, just that year, he would be gone.” Lu Xingzhi's eyes dimmed a few points speaking of her family.

For a moment, Huo Jinchen didn't know what to say, he just felt distressed.

Lu Xingzhi was only two months old when her mother died. From a young age, she never enjoyed motherly love.

At the age of twelve, her father died.

At thirteen years old, her Grandma died.

At fifteen years old, her Grandpa died.

It's hard to imagine that a girl like her grew up going through such pain. 

But she's much stronger.

“Uncle, don't comfort me oh! I'm okay. I will live well because I am the continuation of my mother's life and the will of all my family. My mother has a heart condition and was not fit to have children. And yet, back then, she chose to give birth to me.”

She has never felt motherly love, but she was always loved by her grandparents and father.

Huo Jinchen walked over and wrapped her in his arms, "In the future, there will be me. You just have to be happy.”

Lu Xingzhi was buried in Huo Jinchen's arms, her nose was sour, and her eyes were slightly red. She really appreciated Huo Jinchen.

“Really, I didn't have a hard time with it, although I do miss them. I didn't even want to say that. I was afraid you'd think I was pathetic.” Lu Xingzhi was most afraid of this look.

She never felt bitter herself.

“I don't feel sorry for you. I just want to take good care of you.” Huo Jinchen patted her shoulder gently, "With me around, you can do whatever you want. Zhizhi, I just want you to be happy.”

Lu Xingzhi buried herself in Huo Jinchen's arms with a sour nose and slightly red eyes. She is really grateful to Huo Jinchen.

With a tremor, she whispered, “Huo Jinchen, thank you.”

“Don't thank me, dear, we have a long life ahead of us. There's more I can do. Would you be thanking me for all your life?” Huo Jinchen's eyes softened. He wanted to take care of her for the rest of his life.

His heartache and compa.s.sion towards her were more of fondness.

Lu Xingzhi burrowed out of his arms and beamed, “Well, then I won't thank you.”

With this incident, Huo Jinchen didn't ask Lu Xingzhi why she didn't go to a music academy anymore.

The two sat for a while before heading to her school.

After signing up, Huo Jinchen sent Lu Xingzhi to her dormitory.

By the time she arrived, the other three people in the dorm had already checked in.

Originally, those three were still familiar with each other, and suddenly, seeing them, they froze in surprise.

These two, have they come to the wrong place?

“Beauty, this is a student dorm.”
