When she opened the balcony door, the cold wind immediately rushed in. She touched her arm and walked towards the railing, tiptoeing to look outside.
She immediately saw Huo Jinyan outside the alley.
“Huo Jinyan, why aren’t you at your own home in the middle of the night?”
Lu Nings questioning voice stunned Huo Jinyan. He looked up.
“Are you standing on the balcony? Did you wear a jacket?”
Due to the angle, Huo Jinyan could not see the balcony clearly. He could only see that Lu Nings window was lit.
Lu Ning did not say anything else and walked back silently.
“I’m not on the balcony.”
Huo Jinyan sighed helplessly when he heard her tone.
He had clearly heard her open the balcony door just now.
“Why are you still here when it’s so dark out?”
Lu Ning changed the topic and asked what she had asked before.
“l was waiting for you.”
Lu Ning:
“Waiting for me? Are you going to wait until tomorrow morning?”
“Yes.
“Are you an idiot? It’s so cold outside.”
“No, I just came out.”
“You’re not wearing much yourself, don’t you chastise me.”
Huo Jinyan smiled. “Alright, I got it. I’ll head back now.”
Lu Nings voice was very soft as she guessed, “Huo Jinyan, were you waiting for a chance to give me something after school ended?” Huo Jinyan chuckled. His voice was very pleasant.
“What a clever girl.”
Lu Ning could not help but giggle. “Then I’ll go down. Wait for me,”
Huo Jinyan was stunned. “No, it’s too late. It’s too cold. I’ll pass it to you tomorrow. ”
Lu Ning went straight to the point. “Objection overruled. I want to see what you’ve prepared today. Besides, today’s gift has to be accepted today; if you give them to me tomorrow, it’ll be tomorrow’s gift.”
Huo Jinyan had been soundly defeated by her.
“Remember to wear more layers.”
Lu Ning nodded. “Yes.”
After hanging up, Lu Ning tiptoed to put on her clothes. She did not even dare to change her shoes before she carefully opened the door and left.
She walked downstairs briskly, completely forgetting the fear she had previously.
After going downstairs and walking out of the neighborhood, Lu Ning saw Huo Jinyan standing outside.
She was stunned for a moment before Huo Jinyan stepped forward and grabbed her wrist. “You sure are bold.”
After saying this, he tugged her along as he walked out.
Lu Ning smiled and followed him out of the alley.
Walking out, Huo Jinyan saw that she was wearing a pair of cotton slippers when they approached some streetlights.
Wasn’t I the one who gave her those slippers?
He bent down and rubbed his hands together, pressing his warm palms against her exposed ankles. Then, Huo Jinyan draped her pants over them.
“Aren’t you cold?”
Lu Ning shook her head. “Nope.”
Then, she looked into the car expectantly.
Huo Jinyan could not help but smile when he saw how eager she was. He raised a hand and helped her zip up her jacket.
Afterwards, he turned around and opened the car door.
The front passenger seat was filled with roses. They were a passionate, fiery red, and looked astonishing, even under the dim light of the night.
Lu Ning was stunned. Then, she saw him turn around to open the door to the backseat.
Before Lu Ning could walk over, as the backseat door opened, roses kept dropping out like a waterfall.
Lu Ning subconsciously walked over.
The back seat was filled with roses. These were not tied up and were scattered everywhere. As there were too many of them, they cascaded from the door the moment it was opened.
Lu Ning was curious to know how he managed to fit them all in.
Did he have to go this far for his first gift? Lu Ning felt that Huo Jinyan was simply giving himself more problems down the road..
