Reborn as a Rich Woman in the Eighties-Chapter 283 - 282 So Hot

Lin Dong went back to the boarding school when school started, and this time, he felt especially reluctant.

Although Lu Zheng had only been there for a few days, he had followed him around every day and had developed a fondness for him.

Moreover, he was now rightfully his big brother-in-law.

Lu Zheng and Lin Xia accompanied Lin Dong to his school dormitory, settled in his belongings, and still had time to take him out for a meal.

Lin Dong still felt somewhat down. If Brother Lu could stay here and never leave, he would definitely not stay at the boarding school.

Unfortunately, Brother Lu once told him that he might have to leave anytime.

As he started his second year of high school, the curriculum was packed, and it was too late after evening self-study to consider going home every day.

Later, Lu Zheng promised to visit him whenever he could before he left, and Lin Dong finally calmed down, his pouted lips relaxing.

After taking Lin Dong to school, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng walked together to the bus stop, chatting as they went.

Lin Xia cracked a smile, "It seems my brother is completely smitten by you!"

Previously, no matter how she coaxed him, he wouldn’t really listen, but with just one promise from Lu Zheng to visit, he couldn’t stop smiling.

"Haven’t I been charmed by you as well?" Lu Zheng glanced around at the many people nearby. He touched his nose, knowing that holding her hand as they walked was not possible right now.

"Stop teasing!" Lin Xia shyly glared at him and changed the subject, "Let’s go buy some yarn later!"

They had been busy these past few days and hadn’t had time to go shopping. Since Lin Xia had promised Lu Zheng she would knit him a sweater, she couldn’t just talk the talk without walking the walk.

"Okay!" A mysterious smile crossed Lu Zheng’s lips. If she was knitting a sweater for him, wouldn’t she need to take his measurements? Then...

Just then, someone called out Lin Xia’s name.

Lin Xia looked towards the source of the noise and saw Jiang Mingqing, dressed in a white dress, standing not far away.

"Sister Xiaoqing!" For Lin Xia, bumping into Jiang Mingqing here was not surprising.

Now that school had started, as a teacher here, Jiang Mingqing was definitely around.

Jiang Mingqing stood there, watching Lin Xia and the man beside her chat intimately like a couple, seemingly oblivious to anyone else around them.

"Are you here to send off Lin Dong?"

"Yes! How is Mrs. Zhao doing?" Lin Xia, after those wine gatherings during the New Year, thought her relationship with Jiang Mingqing was fairly good.

Although they weren’t particularly close or warm, at least they weren’t as cold and distant as before.

Jiang Mingqing smiled, "My mom is doing well! Come over to our place when you have time. She has mentioned you many times!"

"I’ll find time to visit her!" Lin Xia replied with a light smile.

The two exchanged a few polite remarks, and throughout, Lu Zheng did not speak to Jiang Mingqing.

He remembered what this woman had once said about Lin Xia.

He was a man who held grudges!

As Lin Xia and Lu Zheng walked away, Jiang Mingqing did not leave. She watched them walk shoulder to shoulder, the man protecting Lin Xia, and wondered if her second brother had lost his chance?

If Lin Xia and this man were really dating, wouldn’t it be painful for her second brother when he returned one day?

She had never liked Lin Xia and had always thought Ji Man was the most suitable sister-in-law.

But now, seeing Lin Xia only having eyes for someone else, her feelings were complex.

Would Lin Xia have decisively denied her second brother a chance if she hadn’t spoken those harsh words back then?

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng squeezed onto a bus heading back. At this hour, the bus was crowded, and they were stuck in the middle, unable to move.

Lu Zheng held Lin Xia close, trying his best to keep others from bumping into her.

Lin Xia had no choice but to occasionally grab his sturdy arm to prevent herself from falling over when the bus turned corners.

However, with such proximity, she quickly realized that he was like a massive furnace baking her, making her silently suffer.

Lu Zheng appeared expressionless, but his feelings were quite the opposite.

Such closeness was rare, and even though they had just confirmed their relationship, he did not dare take it lightly.

He cherished these moments dearly and looked down to study Lin Xia carefully.

The bus was so crowded that even with the windows open, it was not cool.

Lin Xia was wearing a high-quality short-sleeved shirt, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead and cheeks, making her face look adorably pale and flushed.

Her rosy lips appeared so enticing to Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng’s breathing grew heavier, and he forced himself to look away.

But, after a while, he was drawn back to Lin Xia in front of him.

Lin Xia’s sweet breath was only inches away, and her small hand occasionally rested lightly on his arm; the touched spot felt as if it were being branded by a hot iron, and his sweat dripped down his temples.

Lin Xia was a head shorter than Lu Zheng. She felt so hot she thought she might faint, especially since she couldn’t say that Lu Zheng himself was like a big furnace.

At that moment, the bus reached a turn.

Due to inertia, Lin Xia almost leaned onto a man beside her, but Lu Zheng was quick to pull her into his embrace.

Lin Xia steadied herself, her face flushed as she looked up at him, but his deep, dark gaze made her heart flutter, and she said in a low voice, "Don’t look at me!"

Despite the bus being crowded and the continuous buzzing noise due to the turn, Lu Zheng still heard her clearly.

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but smile, leaning in to whisper, "Then who should I look at?"

Lin Xia glared at him and stopped paying him any attention.

She just hoped the next stop would come quickly so more people would get off, and they could move towards the back, allowing her to get away from him.

At the next stop, indeed some people got off, but others got on as well.

Lin Xia and Lu Zheng moved near the rear door, with Lu Zheng protectively holding her in his arms.

Though there was a distance between them, Lu Zheng was quite satisfied.

After they got off the bus, Lin Xia wiped the sweat from her forehead and neck. Now that there were fewer people, she could finally speak her mind.

She turned her head to glare at Lu Zheng next to her and exclaimed, "You’re like a furnace; you almost roasted me alive!"

She didn’t dare to say these things on the bus, for he might have responded unpredictably.

Lu Zheng chuckled softly, "Really? You’re like a furnace as well!"

If they had stayed on the bus any longer, his entire body would have been soaked.

Lin Xia glanced at him and remained silent.

Afterwards, they went to the department store to buy wool.

Lin Xia picked out the wool carefully; she was knitting a warm sweater and wanted to choose the best quality wool since it was a time-consuming effort.

Lu Zheng, not knowing much about it, quietly followed her.

In the evening, after they returned home, just as Lu Zheng had expected, Lin Xia found a tape measure in the clothing store and began measuring him.

After measuring the length of the clothes, the width of the shoulders, and the length of the sleeves, they reached the chest measurement, but unfortunately, Lin Qiu was there, eyes wide, watching the excitement.

Otherwise, Lu Zheng would definitely have seized the opportunity for a romantic embrace or something else.

Lin Xia’s lips curled up slightly; she knew exactly what he was thinking. Having Lin Qiu tag along was precisely to keep a check on him...
