Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 727 - 291. [Heartbreaking Fairy Tale] Seeing Lu When the Forest is Deep (2)_2

If I’m late for evening self-study, the homeroom teacher will definitely notice. I’ll just have to go home and pitifully apologize to Mr. Lin.

Wanxia really wanted to crack open Lin Chu’s head. He usually seemed pretty smart.

At school, Lin Chu is the type of person who doesn’t pay attention in class or submit homework on time, yet consistently scores among the top in exams, no matter how jealous others might be.

"The school rules say no skinny-dipping, it shouldn’t be less than what you wear when showering. By your logic, does that mean girls can’t watch male swimmers during competitions?"

Lin Chu thought for a moment and felt a sense of relief. "That’s exactly what I mean."

She walked into the swimming pool with Wanxia on her arm.

Of course, she stayed on the inside, trying to keep as far away from the water as possible.

...

After swimming two laps, Lu Huai’an got out of the water to drink some water.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the two girls openly walk in through the front door, and his pupils darkened silently for a moment.

Black short hair still dripping, water droplets slid down his strong, solid muscles, passed over rolling small hills, and finally disappeared into the towel wrapped around his waist.

Lin Chu swallowed involuntarily. Although it might be partly because ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ that physique was undeniably impressive.

World-class models probably only match this level.

There weren’t many people in the pool, with Gu Shaozhi watching the drama, there were about ten in total.

Lin Chu was a bit nervous. Wanxia whispered something in her ear, her face turned red as she moved next to Lu Huai’an and handed over the cake she spent four or five hours making.

She said with joy, "Happy Birthday."

Twenty-two years old, the legal age for marriage.

Lin Chu thought, in another year, she’d be an adult. By then... would Brother HuaiAn stop seeing her as a naive child?

She would look beautiful, being Mrs. Lu seemed possible...

"I don’t eat sweets."

Five indifferent words extinguished Lin Chu’s joy.

She looked up, and the man’s sharply defined features showed no extra emotion, neither fondness nor dislike, just the typical icy face of a Scorpio.

After all, it wasn’t her first time being rejected in public, so Lin Chu wasn’t too upset and continued to smile, "I didn’t add much sugar, it’s not that sweet."

Even if he just tasted it, it would make those hours of effort worthwhile for her.

Suddenly, Lu Huai’an recalled the scene he saw through the cake shop’s glass while sitting in the car, his voice became even colder, "I don’t want it, take it away."

Lin Chu felt a bit disappointed, "...Okay."

Having a birthday without cake, how would you make a wish?

But Lin Chu thought, knowing Lu Huai’an’s nature, even if tied to a cake with lit candles and a knife at his neck, he still wouldn’t close his eyes to make a wish.

Never mind, if he doesn’t want it, she’ll eat it all herself.

Then, she would make a wish for him: May God pair Lin Chu with me to be Mrs. Lu, and I will love her with all my life.

Lu Huai’an seemed unwilling to speak to Lin Chu. After finishing his water, he prepared to continue swimming another two laps. The most important gift was yet to be given, so of course Lin Chu wouldn’t let him leave. Without thinking, she lunged forward and hugged him.

Upon catching Lu Huai’an’s discontented gaze, Lin Chu mechanically released the cool yet somewhat warm arms, smiling to appease, "Don’t be mad, don’t be mad."

She stuffed the small box she’d been holding into his hand and quickly jumped back two steps, "I’ll take the cake, this is your birthday present."

Jiang Muzhou had repeatedly told Lin Chu that most boys like delicate girls, but she was indifferent, living freely every day, roaming the streets.

At this moment, just as the gift was given, her cheeks uncontrollably flushed, like a young girl in the bloom of love.

"Splash!"

In the men’s pool, the presence of two girls made it particularly quiet, so even a slight sound was noticeable.

That was the sound of an object being thrown into the water.

The gift box Lin Chu had forcefully handed to Lu Huai’an was tossed into the pool without him even glancing at it.

The bright gleam in Lin Chu’s eyes froze at that moment. Her cheeks, reddened by a pounding heart, became stiff, the transition from joy to sadness taking less than a second.

Her eyes began to redden, but she didn’t cry. She just felt a little wronged.

Yet, her words emerged with a choked, blurry tone, "Lu Huai’an, you’re too much!"

Lin Chu turned and ran out of the pool.
