“My birthday’s already over.”

Huo Jinyan stuffed it into her pocket. “It’s a belated gift.”

His words were concise and to the point. If Lu Ning insisted on rejecting him, it would seem petty.

Lu Ning glanced at her pocket, then at Huo Jinyan.

The boss respectfully handed the card back to Huo Jinyan, who raised his hand to take it.

Lu Ning looked at him, and Huo Jinyan noticed her gaze. As their eyes met, he handed the black card to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning: ?

Before he could speak, Lu Ning snatched the card and stuffed it into his shirt pocket.

She was afraid that Huo Jinyan would toss another ‘present’ her way in the next second.

There’s no way I can take it!

Watching her actions, Huo Jinyan simply stood there. Then, he patted his chest; he could not help but break into a smile.

As Lu Ning walked around to look for Lu Jingzhi, she spoke to Huo Jinyan, who had followed behind her.

“I never understood why you insist on being a teacher in A City. This is where you belong, isn’t it?”

The place was bustling with people coming and going; Huo Jinyan raised his hand to intercept someone who almost bumped into her.

“Where I belong? I don’t think so.”

Lu Ning came to a stop in front of an accessory display cabinet. She turned around and looked at him. “Haven’t you already found what you wanted to investigate? There should be a lot of things for you to resolve here, so why are you wasting your time in that place?”

Huo Jinyan looked at her, his dark eyes carefully studying hers.

“It’s not a waste, because I’m still… not sure.”

Lu Ning:

She turned around and continued walking, weaving around the crowd; she wanted to go to the second floor to look for Lu Jingzhi. “I thought what I said before was clear enough.”

“Quite clear,” Huo Jinyan affirmed.

Lu Ning turned to look at him. “Then why are you still wasting time on me?”

Huo Jinyan quickly pulled her to his side to prevent her from being tripped by someone who had rushed out without warning.

Lu Ning turned behind her, towards the two people who had bumped into each other. Then, she faced Huo Jinyan again, his face just inches away.

Huo Jinyan said, “I don’t think it’s a waste of time.”

After a pause, he peered at Lu Ning and added, “You taught me this.”

Puzzled, Lu Ning frowned at him. “I taught you?”

I can teach HuoJinyan? What did I teach him?

“What did I teach you?”

She asked bluntly.

His grip tightened as he peered down towards her. “You..

Only one word escaped his lips before he staggered from a sudden impact on his leg.

Almost instantly, he let go of Lu Ning, afraid that she would fall with him.

However, he only stumbled for a moment before stabilizing himself.

When he turned around, he was met with Lu Jingzhi’s furious gaze.

Huo Jinyan looked at him. This child… He doesn’t seem to like me?

Lu Ning hurriedly pulled Lu Jingzhi behind her.

“What did you pick? Sister will go and pay for it.”

Lu Ning turned around, blocking him from Huo Jinyan’s vision.

Lu Jingzhi raised his hand and showed Lu Ning what he was holding.

The two of them circled around the crowd and went to the counter to pay for the items.

Casually, Huo Jinyan also grabbed something and went to the counter.

Lu Ning turned behind; she looked at Huo Jinyan, then at the thing in his hand. She let out a giggle. “I didn’t expect you to like this.”

Huo Jinyan raised his eyebrows and did not say anything. After making the purchase, he followed them out.

The food street was at its most crowded, and it was swarming with throngs of people.

“You’re going to follow us?
