Chapter 279 - I Think We Can Be Friends

"Do you like it?" Lu Zhichen suddenly asked.
Xing Jiuan found this place especially pleasing to the eye. It was difficult to say that she disliked it.
"I like it. It's beautiful."
Lu Zhichen laughed.
"Let's go over. What do you want to play?"
Xing Jiuan shook her head. "Let's go and sit for a while."
When the two of them sat down at the small pavilion, Xing Jiuan realized that there was a small pond on the side of the pavilion with some fruit trees beside it.
The rockery beside the pond was strange in shape, but it looked very nice.
"Do you want to go and play?" Lu Zhichen asked when he saw that she was staring at the rock.
When she was young, Xing Jiuan would sometimes be naughty and climb a big rock. Lu Zhichen would watch her from the ground and would always be worried that she would fall down. He would nervously climb with her. Xing Jiuan was young and small, but for some reason, she was energetic and her body was especially agile. Lu Zhichen could not catch up to her and could only watch her from below, always taking note of her safety.
Xing Jiuan shook her head.
She thought that she had grown up and would not do anything childish anymore.
Not long after, someone sent a plate of fruits and some snacks over and placed them on the table before leaving immediately.
It was the staff Lu Zhichen had left behind. He had already contacted them in advance to get them ready.
Xing Jiuan did not keep talking to Lu Zhichen either. Sometimes, she would be in a daze, and sometimes, she would look at the scenery. Lu Zhichen would just look at her with a focused expression.
"Actually, I was a little depressed at first," Xing Jiuan suddenly said. Lu Zhichen looked at her in confusion.
"You were a very strange person to me. You said we knew each other from the beginning and…" She did not continue.
"That's why I didn't have a good impression of you in the beginning.
"It's my fault. I was too anxious." Lu Zhichen admitted his mistake without hesitation.
Xing Jiuan felt like laughing.
"I don't mean to blame you."
"You helped me a lot. I'm very grateful to you."
Lu Zhichen did not know what Xing Jiuan wanted to say and was a little nervous.
He was worried that her next sentence would be, "I appreciate you very much, but let's not contact each other like this anymore."
Wasn't this rejecting him!
"Don't say those troubling words again…
Lu Zhichen's heart was in his throat while Xing Jiuan smiled faintly.
"I think we can be friends."
Lu Zhichen wondered why he was not her boyfriend?
He thought, oh, so 21st still doesn't treat him as a friend!
He did not know if he should be happy or disappointed.
However, he realized that he should be happy.
At least, 21st was willing to treat him as a friend now.
They were already friends. Would it be difficult to add another word?
He could definitely win her over!
After talking to Lu Zhichen, Xing Jiuan waited for his answer.
She had thought about it.
Lu Zhichen seemed like someone who could be friends. As long as he did not say so many strange things, she would like him very much.
She was surprised that Lu Zhichen did not have a cold personality. However, Lu Zhichen's current personality made her feel very comfortable.
His humor was also a little childish. Occasionally, he would say some strange words that made her feel embarrassed. However, she would also think that the Ninth Master of the Lu family was actually quite funny sometimes. He even made people feel that there was something wrong with him.
With such a face that completely matched her beauty standards and had some small flaws, who wouldn't find it fun!
Ignoring her occasional embarrassment, she felt that it should be very interesting to be friends with Lu Zhichen.
