」She finished the drink in her cup, feeling anxious and uneasy. The shadow cast by Chen Qijun seemed too large, and even a day later, she couldn’t forget. “Go home?” Could she not contact him if she went home? “I should say, go to Chen’s home,” Xia Xi added. “Oh? Then you must feel very unhappy!” Recalling Chen Qijun’s excessive actions, Xia Xi took a light breath, her smile suddenly becoming stiff. “Indeed very unhappy.”
Lu Ziyi, noticing her unusual expression, subtly furrowed his brow before smoothing it out. The Xia Xi he knew was strong, able to handle any situation calmly. Something serious must have happened – something she was unwilling to speak about. Not wanting to delve deeper into the heavy pressure her delicate body was bearing, Lu Ziyi propped his chin and stared at her unblinkingly.
“Come here,” he commanded. She didn’t want to speak, and he couldn’t pry open her mouth with tools and force her to talk! “Hm?” she was puzzled. “Come here,” he repeated.
After hesitating for three seconds, Xia Xi finally chose to obediently listen. Lu Ziyi had just finished a hot spring bath, his body emanating a clean, pleasant scent. He wore only a thin Japanese-style bathrobe, looking devastatingly sexy. Basically, she had always believed beauty was a woman’s privilege, and men who were too good-looking were simply unfair.
“Close your eyes, relax completely,” he whispered in her ear, his large hands massaging her shoulders and neck with just the right pressure.
I didn’t expect his hands to be so skillful. Xia Xi let out a satisfied sigh; her stiff shoulders probably felt as old as an elderly person’s! “Don’t think about anything, just relax,” Lu Ziyi softly coaxed. “You’re safe here, don’t worry about anything, I’ll take care of everything.”
“…Hmm.” Everything’s on him? This sentence sounds quite comforting. Does this mean that even if the sky falls, he’ll hold it up? She had never tasted the feeling of depending on someone before, but Lu Ziyi, who suddenly appeared halfway and wanted her to be his woman, made her experience it for the first time. Xia Xi unconsciously leaned against his chest, feeling both warm and at ease. Looks like skipping work occasionally isn’t so bad!
