A Girl Conquers the World Through Her Tears

Chapter 36

Zhu Liheng suddenly smiled, "I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Lin Jianzhi said, "Okay."

After speaking, she got out of the car and closed the door before she started grinning like an idiot.

She quickly walked towards the hotel lobby. But before she could take more than a few steps, Zhu Liheng's voice came from behind her, "Where are you going? Aren't you going to take your luggage?"

Lin Jianzhi gave a start and hurriedly turned back.

Zhu Liheng opened the trunk and took out her luggage.

Lin Jianzhi felt very embarrassed. She was like an idiot in front of Zhu Liheng.

She lowered her head and reached out to take her luggage.

Unexpectedly, instead of handing over the luggage to her, Zhu Liheng held out a hand to her.

Lin Jianzhi looked up in surprise, her eyes full of bewilderment.

Just like that, in the open parking lot, Zhu Liheng grabbed her hand again!

This time, there was no crowd pushing them together and no outside factors.

There was no reason for this hand-grab anymore.

Zhu Liheng asked in a calm tone, "You haven't answered me yet, did you like that movie?"

Lin Jianzhi: "!!!"

She felt her head steaming up. Why was he asking such an ambiguous question?

And he was holding her hand while asking!

Zhu Liheng took a step closer, "If you like it, then I like it too."

Lin Jianzhi felt her brain was going to explode!

She didn't know how to respond. And, and why are you getting closer!

Zhu Liheng let go of the suitcase in his other hand. He pulled Lin Jianzhi into his arms, spun her around, and pressed her back against the car door.

In the deserted parking lot, it was just the two of them breathing heavily against each other.

The kiss only lasted a moment.

Zhu Liheng released Lin Jianzhi. Holding one of her hands and pulling her suitcase with the other, he escorted her into the hotel lobby.

Lin Jianzhi was stunned silly!

She followed him in a daze, her mind completely blank.

Did he just...kiss her?

Five minutes later.

Knock knock!

There was a knock on the door. Mu Yin quickly ran over to open it.

Whoosh! Standing at the door was Lin Jianzhi with a dazed expression and flushed red cheeks, dragging a suitcase behind her.

Mu Yin poked her head out in surprise and looked up and down the empty corridor, "You're alone?"

It was as if Lin Jianzhi's soul had been sucked out. She didn't answer and dragged her suitcase into the room.

Mu Yin was shocked. She closed the door and followed Lin Jianzhi, examining her up and down.

Nothing seemed wrong. Her clothes were normal and her hair was normal too. Her suitcase didn't seem to have been opened either.

Why did she turn silly?!

Next, Mu Yin watched as Lin Jianzhi mechanically opened her suitcase, took out a change of clothes, and went to wash up - all in a robotic fashion.

Mu Yin tilted her head curiously and chased after her, shouting loudly, "Hey! Lin Jianzhi! What's wrong with you?!"

Lin Jianzhi gave a jerk at her shout.

The next second, she suddenly covered her face with both hands, stomped her feet on the ground, and started screaming, "Ah----!!!"

Mu Yin was so frightened that she covered her ears and shuffled back further, even more confused.

After quickly washing up, Lin Jianzhi darted into bed and buried herself under the quilt.

Mu Yin watched the whole thing unfold, unable to understand any of it.

Has she gone mad?!

The next afternoon.

Lang Shu arranged for everyone to have lunch together. Their two-day-one-night trip to Yanling City was considered over.

Mu Yin and the others were going to happily head off to their next destination, while the rest were going back to Jingyi with their big and small bags after the morning's activities.

The only exception was Lin Jianzhi, who didn't follow Mu Yin and the others to continue sightseeing or return to Jingyi after checking out.

She counted how much money she had left and compared hotel prices.

What her parents had given her was originally enough. She just didn't know what to do for an afternoon alone.

She wandered aimlessly on the streets, opening Weibo to look for Yanling City travel guides.

Other than Dinosaur Park, there should be other fun places too.

Soon, she saw a well-organized one.

"[Yanling Solo Travel Guide Ultimate]"

Lin Jianzhi quickly shared it and started studying it carefully.

Before she could read much, her phone suddenly rang. As soon as Lin Jianzhi saw the caller ID, she became nervous. When she picked up, her voice even trembled a little, "Senior."

Zhu Liheng paused and said, "It's come to this, yet you still call me senior?"

Lin Jianzhi gave a start, her heartbeat speeding up.

Zhu Liheng on the other end asked again, "Where are you?"

Lin Jianzhi mechanically reported her location. Her mind became muddled again.

In less than ten minutes, Zhu Liheng appeared before her.

When he saw the girl alone with a large suitcase beside her, his eyes flashed with coldness for a moment.

Little liar!

After taking her suitcase, Zhu Liheng grabbed Lin Jianzhi's hand and led her to a car nearby.

Only then did Lin Jianzhi realize he had changed cars.

A driver got out of the car. He glanced at her and then took the suitcase from Zhu Liheng's hand, putting it in the trunk.

The driver didn't look like an average person. Very professional, wearing sunglasses and a suit - more like a bodyguard.

Zhu Liheng opened the rear passenger door and had her sit on the left while he went around to the right side.

Then he didn't say a word, and was even a little cold.

He opened up his laptop in the backseat, tapping away at the keyboard.

Lin Jianzhi was confused and at a loss.

Was he angry?

Just then, the driver looked at them through the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Zhu, back to the lab or...?"

Zhu Liheng looked up, "Take the little liar to the hotel first and get her settled in."

The driver seemed to laugh, "Sure, Mr. Zhu."

Lin Jianzhi lowered her head again, her eyes instantly turning red.

Soon, a tear rolled down her cheek, landing heavily on the back of her hand.

She didn't mean to deceive him.

She just wanted to be with him.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the driver respectfully took out the suitcase again. He had originally wanted to help carry it in but Zhu Liheng stopped him.

Zhu Liheng took the suitcase himself and pulled the still crying Lin Jianzhi inside.

Lin Jianzhi cried while apologizing, "I'm sorry! Did I get in your way?"

Zhu Liheng had clearly rushed over from the lab. Although she didn't know how he found out she was wandering around alone.

But she had interrupted his work and even made him arrange for a driver.

That driver clearly wasn't an average person but more like a bodyguard.

In other words, she, a completely irrelevant person, had wasted the lab's money, resources, manpower and energy.

She really was stupid!

She should have just left with Mu Yin and the others.

Zhu Liheng stopped and turned to look at her, "Are you going to lie again in the future?"

Lin Jianzhi bawled her eyes out and shook her head vigorously, sending tears flying.

Zhu Liheng sighed, "If you had just told me earlier, I could have made arrangements earlier too. You can sleep in or go shopping, whatever you want. I can have a driver follow you. What are you doing standing under the hot sun alone outside?"

Lin Jianzhi: "Wah...I'm sorry!"

Outside the hotel.

Old Chen sat in the driver's seat, craning his neck to look at the two people. Just then his phone rang and he hurriedly picked up, "Hello? Professor Xiong! Yes, I've picked them up ... Pretty, cute, but crying... Yes yes, don't worry! I'll stick close by them!"
