Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Lu’s Confession 3_1

Xia Ningxing’s face instantly flushed crimson, and she let out such an embarrassing sound!

But there was nothing she could do about it, having not eaten since she arrived in Tom City.

"Hungry?" Lu Tingli heard the rustling, rubbed her head, and then began searching around again with both hands: "Let me see if I can find some more water or food."

Xia Ningxing sighed, "We won’t find any. I already looked everywhere earlier, and there was none... eh, I think I touched something."

Xia Ningxing had reached out absentmindedly, but to her surprise, she really did find something.

The object was buried in the soil, and using her fingernails, she dug and finally pulled it out.

Xia Ningxing felt the packaging and exclaimed in delight.

"Lu, it’s chocolate."

Lu Tingli said in a doting, low voice, "Eat up."

"Let’s eat it together." Xia Ningxing broke the chocolate in half.

Lu Tingli shook his head: "No need, I’m not hungry. You eat, Baby Xing."

"Why do you call me Baby Xing?" Xia Ningxing bit into the chocolate and then realized he had changed how he addressed her; he used to call her by her full name or just kid.

Lu Tingli leaned his chin on top of her head: "Your family calls you Bao’er, your classmates call you Xia Ningxing or Ningxing. I don’t want to be like them, I want to give you a unique nickname."

"I see..." Xia Ningxing swallowed the chocolate.

Hearing her response, Lu Tingli hesitated for a moment: "Don’t you like it?"

Xia Ningxing hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, it’s very nice. Anything you pick sounds good!"

Even if he called her cauliflower, she’d be joyfully content.

As the saying goes, give and take. After thinking it over, Xia Ningxing added, "Then I’ll call you Tingli, or maybe A-Li? Never mind, never mind, that feels weird. I’ll just stick with Lu!"

"Lu," she had been calling him that for a full ten years.

If she suddenly changed it, it really wouldn’t feel right.

Lu Tingli’s eyebrows carried a gentle warmth: "As you wish, as long as you’re happy, I’m happy." In fact, any name she chose, even Dog, sounded good to him.

Joy and sweetness rippled through Xia Ningxing’s heart.

For a long while, they remained trapped in that cramped space.

Lu Tingli looked at the young girl before him and thought about his own rebirth. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to tell her his biggest secret.

Since they were together, they should be honest with each other.

"Baby Xing." So, in a low, tender voice, he called her.

Xia Ningxing fluttered her eyelashes, questioning, "What is it?"

"I’m going to tell you something that is supernatural, beyond science. You must promise me not to be afraid after you hear it or to think of me as a monster, okay?" Lu Tingli wanted to be honest with her, but he was also afraid that she would be scared of him after hearing his secret, so he was preparing her mentally first.

Seeing his serious tone, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but swallow nervously, bursting with curiosity as she stared at him unwaveringly: "Go on! Don’t worry! I’m not the kind of person who gets scared easily!"

Only after hearing this did Lu Tingli feel slightly relieved, "Here it goes!"

"Out with it!" Seeing him dalliying, Xia Ningxing could not help but urge him.

Lu Tingli took a deep breath and with a deep voice, said something that would shock the world: "Baby Xing... I’ve actually been reborn..."
