Chapter 20 - She Hated It And She Loved It. (2/2)

The fact that she was addressed as Professor Lu by Jin Shengping made Lu Jia’er ill at ease. So she gave a quick response, “Mr. Jin, please just call me Xiao Lu!”

Jin Shengping glanced at her and said in a friendly manner, “Please sit down!” Then he told Ike, “Ike, go make a cup of tea for Sister Xiao Lu.”

Sister Xiao Lu! What a great appellation!!

Ike happily rolled away to make the tea. After putting down the flowers and fruits she brought, she sat down. Although she was somewhat restrained, she still tried to keep her composure. “Mr. Jin, is your neck feeling any better?” Lu Jia’er’s face showed a guilty expression.

“Much better! Ike says that I look like an Mecha Hero now!” Jin Shengping said with a smile.

Lu Jia’er was amused by Jin Shengping’s word choice. She did not expect him to be so easy going and approachable since he was so prestigious in the scientific world.

“I am really sorry!” Lu Jia’er apologized again.

“If you came to apologize, I don’t want to hear it, Xiao Lu!” Jin Shengping said.

Hearing those words, Lu Jia’er became at a loss of what to say, but as she had already heard the inner voice of Jin Shengping and she knew that he had a good impression of her.

Seeing the table with chess pieces on a chessboard, Lu Jia’er chanced upon an idea. “I will accompany you for a round of chess!”

Jin Shengping felt a little surprised, but he said delightedly, “Let’s play and exchange pointers!”

Lu Jia’er nodded with a smile. It seemed that she had expected the outcome.

In fact, she was not very good at playing chess, but she has a “natural talent” that gave her an advantage, which others did not possess. She could listen to and hear anyone’s thoughts. So regardless of what she ended up doing, the winning rate was extremely high.

Therefore, having an extraordinary talent was extremely contradictory. She hated it and she loved it.

It went as expected. Lu Jia’er managed to carve out a way to victory only two moves into the game despite her poor chess skill.

After two consecutive losses against the younger generation, Jin Shengping couldn’t help but sigh. “My chess skill has not been perfected! I don’t dare to play chess randomly with anyone else!”

“Mr. Jin, you deliberately let me win because you love the younger generations!” Lu Jia’er referenced the conversation they had outside the hospital last time.

Jin Shengping heard her words and couldn’t help but smile. Then he said to Ike, “Ike, isn’t this Sister Xiao Lu very cute!”

Ike looked at Lu Jia’er with lovely eyes and then nodded. “Yes!”

On hearing the exchange, a feminine and innocent sense of shyness began to bloom on Lu Jia’er’s face. She didn’t know how long ago it had been since she was last described as cute, she was usually deemed aloof and detached, it was a pleasant change of pace.
