After leaving Lin Qianxing's hospital room, Qin Luo immediately reached over to pat Xu Duoduo's head. "What's wrong? Were you upset just now? Did it remind you of your childhood?"
She had been an orphan as a child, too.
Xu Duoduo was surprised that Qin Luo knew she was upset, but she nodded honestly.
Abandoned children had it rough.
They were sensitive and suspicious.
They lacked a sense of security.
Xu Duoduo saw something of herself in Lin Qianxing, but she had been lucky. Later, she had gained a loving grandma and grandpa who had lost their only child.
Qin Luo patted her head, tousling her hair. "It's okay. Don't be sad."
He smiled and said, "Want a hug from your hubby?"
"No!" Xu Duoduo said helplessly.
They were at the Research Institute!
This date really was one of a kind. What a bizarre experience.
Qin Luo felt a little defeated, too. "Man, I really can't figure out this dating thing."
But Xu Duoduo said, "This is nice, too."
Qin Luo turned to stare at her. "Miss Zombie, this won't do. Your standards are too low."
Being called "Miss Zombie" made Xu Duoduo tingle with embarrassment. For some inexplicable reason, she felt shy and glanced guiltily around, even wanting to cover his mouth. "You can't call me that!"
Qin Luo found that fascinating. "Xu Duoduo, you really are something. What's embarrassing about that? I don't understand what makes you shy. You don't get shy when you should, and you'll blurt out anything, no matter how embarrassing. But look how flustered those two words made you!"
Xu Duoduo really wanted to cover his mouth. He just kept blabbing. This man was so annoying!!
She was practically spinning in circles with frustration.
And of course, Qin Luo was ridiculously tall. Xu Duoduo
