Chapter 46: It’s useless for those who use it to strike.

Chapter 46

At first, Yu Sheng didn't know that Li Zhen wasn't completely indifferent.

She erected a hard armor around herself, not letting this world hurt her one bit, but her heart beneath the armor was soft.

Yi E Sheng? Yu Sheng recalled, that chatterbox of a woman, her name seemed to be this.

When Li Zhen returned home, she had already completely collected herself.

No one was in the living room, only hearing sounds coming from the bathroom.

She went to the bathroom and saw Lu Yanming wearing a casual long-sleeved shirt, made of cotton and linen, not formal but very fitting for his gentle temperament.

Lu Yanming had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, fiddling with the faucet.

Lu Yanming didn't even lift his head, his hands kept working, "You're back? How was the afternoon tea?"

Li Zhen was a little embarrassed, his tone didn't sound very good, as if complaining.

So she obediently and cleverly said: "I didn't even drink two sips before it got spilled, didn't get to taste it at all, not one hundredth as good as the culinary arts of Chef Lu at home."

"Spilled it? Got into an argument with someone?" Lu Yanming looked up at her.

"Mm." Li Zhen's tone was low.

"Did you win or lose?"

"Huh?"

"I asked if you won or lost?"

Li Zhen heard clearly, just surprised at what he was concerned about.

Wouldn't ordinary people be more likely to ask about the reason for the argument?

"Don't know, didn't argue long enough to determine a winner and loser, because I can't flip tables, so the argument stopped abruptly." Li Zhen was still a little hung up about it now.

Although in the end Yu Sheng was the one who flipped her table, since she didn't do it herself, she regretted after coming home that she hadn't performed well.

If she knew earlier she should have flipped chairs instead of the table.

"Your arm strength is lacking, you'll have to practice more." Lu Yanming pictured it in his mind for a moment, couldn't quite imagine Li Zhen flipping a table.

"Sounds good, teach me then." Li Zhen said casually.

"I don't dare take you on as a student, your temper needs work." The faucet was just about fixed, Lu Yanming stood up straight and instructed, "Turn on the main valve for the water."

"Okay."

Li Zhen had lived alone for a long time before, she was very familiar with the water and electricity meters, she went straight to the main valve and turned it on, then came back.

The scene she returned to made her freeze in surprise.

Water was splashing all over the kitchen.

The faucet wasn't fixed at all, water was spurting out and drenched Lu Yanming.

Lu Yanming used a towel to hold down the faucet, but it didn't stop the water at all, "Enjoying the show? Just standing there watching the fun?"

Li Zhen had never seen Lu Yanming in such a flustered state before, she couldn't help let out a laugh.

"Here I come, let me help!" Li Zhen hurriedly grabbed another towel to help him hold down the faucet.

Lu Yanming glanced at her sideways, a helpless smile at the corner of his lips, "Rather than suffer with me, I'd prefer you go turn off the main valve for the faucet."

Li Zhen slapped her forehead, "Oh right, I'll go turn off the main valve."

Speaking aggrievedly, her soft voice seemed to hook into him.

Lu Yanming's heart softened, he lifted her chin to gaze at her, compromising, "Alright, I understand, I won't leave any marks."

After speaking, he lowered his head to deeply kiss her once more.

This kiss was gentle and lingering, going from light to deep, then deep to light again, entangling her over and over.

Li Zhen's legs started going soft, even her breathing forgotten, only knowing she was forced to accept it, completely unclear how to respond, her soft little hands instinctively pushing against his chest, hard as iron.

Lu Yanming flipped up her skirt.

Li Zhen was sharply jolted alert, "Wait."

Lu Yanming didn't listen, already intrusively visiting.

Li Zhen gasped, "Can't do that."

Her voice had just fallen when she instantly pushed him away and swiftly fled the bathroom, slamming the door shut with a "bang", her actions smooth and practiced.

Li Zhen: "President Lu, wait a moment, calm down first..."

Lu Yanming: ......

He lowered his head to look at himself, laughed wryly, "Now tell me, at this point, how can you expect a man to calm down?"

Li Zhen felt a little unjustified, but she didn't want to fruitlessly tussle, she had to buy that umbrella first!

Li Zhen solemnly said, "President Lu, we're both adults, protection is indispensable, wait ten minutes for me, I'll go out and buy umbrellas."

Li Zhen didn't know how Lu Yanming endured it, but he did restrain himself, even drying off his body and changing clothes, going out the door with her.

On the road Li Zhen didn't dare speak the whole time.

She could feel the dense aura of gloom emanating from Lu Yanming's body.

Standing at the supermarket entrance, Li Zhen hesitated to go in, "President Lu, since it's something you'll use, why don't you go pick."

Lu Yanming just stared at her silently.

The implication was very clear: I won't go.

Lu Yanming was tall with long legs, standing at the supermarket entrance attracted quite a few looks.

Afraid of running into acquaintances among those glances, Li Zhen also didn't dare linger talking to him there.

"Alright then." Li Zhen knew he was still stewing.

Not daring to provoke him further, if she really couldn't mollify him, then even if she bought the umbrella, the intended user might refuse to work.

She walked into the supermarket, glancing around, and saw several rows of small umbrellas arranged right next to the checkout counter at the entrance.

Is everyone this open about it?

She'd never noticed before that this golden location at the entrance was given to it, seems the nightlife of Jincheng residents was quite rich.

There was even a long line queued at the checkout counter.

Li Zhen psyched herself up, it'll be fine, since it's right at the entrance, everyone must be used to sights like this.

She took a deep breath, walked over, reached out her hand...

"Li Zhen!"

The familiar voice instantly made Li Zhen's scalp tingle.
