Chapter 323: Chapter 322 University Starts_1

By the time Xia Ningxing left the hospital, Lu Tingli had suddenly rushed back. As soon as he saw her, he embraced her fiercely.

"Baby Xing!"

He held her tightly, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.

"Lu?" Xia Ningxing looked at him with a touch of confusion, blinking her eyelashes, "Weren’t you at the institute? Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"I heard you almost had an accident today," Lu Tingli’s voice trembled.

"I’m fine," Xia Ningxing shook her head, then added, "My sister-in-law took a knife for me."

Self-reproach covered Lu Tingli’s handsome face, and he punched the wall behind him, "It’s all because I’m useless, I couldn’t protect you properly."

If Ningxing’s sister-in-law hadn’t been there today, wouldn’t she have been...?

Lu Tingli simply couldn’t bear to continue the thought.

He would definitely make Jiang Rou and her family pay the price they owed for this.

A dangerous and icy sharpness swept across his eyes.

"Lu, I have to say I disagree with you. We’re not conjoined twins; we can’t be stuck together all the time. You have your career to attend to, and I have mine," Xia Ningxing said earnestly, her small hand holding his large one, "Today’s incident was just an accident; don’t blame yourself."

Lu Tingli looked down at her sensible demeanor and suddenly sighed, "Baby Xing, I wish you were tiny."

"Why?" Xia Ningxing asked, her face full of confusion as she looked at him.

Lu Tingli’s gaze was deep, "That way, I could carry you in my pocket and protect you at all times."

"...Such a cheesy line," Xia Ningxing rubbed her reddening cheeks, casting a coquettish glance at him.

"Baby Xing..." Then, as if recalling something, Lu Tingli leaned close to her ear and whispered in a low and magnetic voice, "I have a gift for you."

As he spoke, he produced a box from behind him as if by magic.

"What’s inside?" Xia Ningxing’s eyes widened eagerly as she took it and quickly opened it, finding a pair of couple’s watches inside.

They were made of white gold with a celestial background where tiny diamonds formed the stars, shining brilliantly as if the night sky had scattered its stars within.

They looked very expensive!

And she loved them!

Xia Ningxing’s eyes crinkled with a smile.

Seeing her reaction, Lu Tingli’s lips curved, "It seems you really like it."

"I love it! Of course, I do! I love anything you give me!" Xia Ningxing nodded vigorously, showering him with flattery.

Lu Tingli could not help but laugh, then he took the lady’s watch out of the box, "Let me put it on for you."

"Okay..." Xia Ningxing immediately stretched out her pale wrist, and Lu Tingli bent over to put on the watch for her.

After he had put it on her, he said, "From now on, you must think of me every second and every minute."

The watch carried the meaning of "constant companionship," which was why Lu Tingli had given it.

Hearing these sweet words, Xia Ningxing felt as if her heart were filled with honey. She looked up at him and said in a soft voice, "Lu, you too, must think of me every second and every minute."

As she spoke, Xia Ningxing took out the men’s watch and put it on him.

The watch was cool to the touch, but her fingers were burning hot.

"Baby Xing..." He couldn’t help but call her name again, his obsidian eyes glinting mysteriously, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.

Xia Ningxing well understood what he was thinking. Her cheeks flushed a deeper shade of red, like dusk spreading across the sky, and suddenly, she tiptoed up to meet him.

Lu Tingli hadn’t expected her to take the initiative, and after a moment of pleasant surprise, he responded to her...

Eventually, they were awakened by the ring of a phone.

It was Xia Ningxing’s cell phone ringing.

"I, I’ll take the call." Xia Ningxing glanced at him and immediately looked down, shy and stuttering, unable to make eye contact.

Lu Tingli glanced discontentedly at the phone, wondering which jerk had interrupted them, yet he appeared nonchalant as if he didn’t care a bit, "Go ahead."

As Xia Ningxing answered the call, Tao Tao’s excited voice came through, "Xiaxia, I miss you so much! I heard you’re starting school soon, so I called to check on you!"

"I, I miss you too..." Xia Ningxing’s voice still held a hint of huskiness.

On the other end of the phone, Tao Tao fell silent for a moment.

As someone who had been there, she...

"Xiaxia, tell me, did I interrupt you and Captain Lu?"

Xia Ningxing’s face turned even redder, nearly dripping blood, and shouted at her in a mix of annoyance and embarrassment, "No! Don’t talk nonsense!"
