Chapter 55: Chapter 55 His Love, Ended Before It Even Began_1

"Your foot still hasn’t recovered, has it?" Yang Gang spoke up.

"Um, it’s not too bad now, I can walk..."

Yang Gang rolled his eyes, "You’re just stubbornly forcing yourself on. Sit on the chair, stretch out the leg. I know some bone-setting techniques."

"Oh." Even though Lin Qingyu felt awkward, it was agonizing to walk on a sprained foot. Plus, she seemed to have started to subconsciously rely on Yang Gang. So, per his instruction, she sat down, took off her sandals, lifted her long skirt a bit, and extended her injured right foot.

Yang Gang squatting in front of Lin Qingyu, reached out, and took hold of her foot.

One of Yang Gang’s hands held Lin Qingyu’s foot and the other was kneading her ankle, using a strange method to massage it repetitively.

The bottom of Lin Qingyu’s feet was originally sensitive, and being messed around with by Yang Gang was particularly uncomfortable. She clenched her teeth, trying not to let out any strange noises.

After a while, Yang Gang paused.

Lin Qingyu sighed with relief, then glanced down and was startled. She quickly stood up, "You jerk! What are you looking at?!"

Yang Gang grinned, "True to what Luo Tian said, it’s hot, and I can understand that gals wear skirts. But why do you need to wear leggings underneath? Is there no trust between people in this society anymore?"

Lin Qingyu angrily replied, "You’re the last person who should be saying that!"

"Hmm... you seem quite energetic now. So, does your foot hurt?" Yang Gang said with a smile.

Only then did Lin Qingyu notice that her sprained ankle didn’t hurt at all. A smile appeared on her face. "It doesn’t hurt anymore, it’s miraculous. Yang Gang, thank you..."

Before she could finish, Lin Qingyu recalled Yang Gang’s improper behavior and abruptly stopped.

She hesitated, glanced at Yang Gang, and then finally asked hesitantly, "Yang Gang, today at the water park, you didn’t let me wear a swimsuit. Did you deliberately provoke me, so that I could overcome the ’ghost’ with my anger?"

Yang Gang smirked, "That’s one way to put it."

He paused slightly and laughed again, "Doesn’t seem like a conclusion you’d arrive at on your own, who analyzed it for you?"

"A friend," Lin Qingyu said.

Yang Gang responded sarcastically, "So there’s such a strategic mastermind behind you, no wonder those rich second-generation guys can’t win you over."

"That’s not it. I reject them because I have a boyfriend, and I really love my boyfriend." Lin Qingyu replied.

Yang Gang seemed taken aback.

Love, what is it?

The boyfriend is weak, yet the girlfriend remains devoted. Is this the essence of love?

Yang Gang didn’t quite understand.

Because his heart was sealed off, like a little hedgehog, retracting its head, hiding in its castle, afraid to face the sunlight.

Why did it turn out this way?

Even though Yang Gang was indoctrinated with ideas like ’love is poison’, ’love will destroy a good bounty hunter’, ’falling in love will lead to your death’ since he was a child, this had more or less lowered his expectations for love. However, this clearly was not the main reason.

The most important reason was probably Su Xiaoxi.

Su Xiaoxi, female, 23 years old, Yang Gang’s ’senior sister’ and ’adopted daughter-in-law’, and also the unrequited love of Yang Gang.

Yang Gang was in love with Su Xiaoxi, deeply in love.

He had daydreamed countless times about marrying Su Xiaoxi, until one day, Su Xiaoxi told Yang Gang that she had always seen him as only a little brother, and that the man she liked was named He Deng. An utterly perfect man, her same age, tall, handsome, martially skilled, mature, noble, gentle, and omnipotent.

Huang Tianlin, the most popular heartthrob of the sea, was nothing compared to He Deng.

Such an impeccable man was a nightmare for ordinary men everywhere.

Yang Gang knew he could never compare to the perfect He Deng in many aspects.

And so Yang Gang’s ’first love’ shattered.

His love had ended even before it began.

That year, Yang Gang was 16.

Ever since then, Yang Gang had sealed off his heart, never opening it again.

In the blink of an eye, four or five years passed. Yang Gang had almost forgotten what it felt like to love someone.

Lin Qingyu noticed a hint of melancholy fleeting across Yang Gang’s eyes. Her heart trembled slightly and a strange feeling brewed within her.

Having collected himself, Yang Gang turned his head and found Lin Qingyu lost in thought and gazing at him. He showed an insincere smile, "Are you harbouring tender feelings for this handsome guy?"

Lin Qingyu quickly looked away, her face turning slightly red, "How could that be? The person I love is my boyfriend Zhao Wei. I could never fall for another man!"

"Hmm...so that would be the man who can’t even protect his girlfriend."

"Yang Gang! You are not allowed to bad-mouth Zhao Wei! He brought his friends to the restaurant to help me out. The higher the market’s revenue, the higher my commission. Plus, when Luo Tian was bullying me, he also stood up to protect me!" Lin Qingyu defended Zhao Wei.

Yang Gang glanced at Lin Qingyu and said indifferently, "You really are an easily contented girl."

He paused, his gaze directed at the profound night sky, and then calmly said, "Qingyu, I can pursue you, help you, protect you, but you can’t fall in love with me. You will get hurt. Because I will not fall in love with any woman, probably."

Lin Qingyu argued, "What kind of logic is that? It’s absolutely baffling! How could I possibly fall in love with you? The only way I could is if it starts raining right now!"

As soon as her voice fell, the once clear night sky became enveloped with dark clouds. Moments later, a heavy downpour started.

A dumfounded expression spread across Lin Qingyu’s face...

Yang Gang, having regained his composure, chuckled lightly, "Stop gaping. I’ll drive you home."

"No thank you!" Lin Qingyu rejected him.

"Hmm...you’re so afraid of being alone with me, are you afraid you’ll develop feelings for me?" Yang Gang teased.

Lin Qingyu argued, "What on earth? Fine! I’ll take your ride!"

Lin Qingyu didn’t hide her address in Hangcheng from Yang Gang. She knew very well, if Yang Gang intended to dig up things about her, he could even find out what time she usually uses the washroom.

The Lamborghini stopped in front of a mid-city village building. Just as Lin Qingyu was about to get out, Yang Gang suddenly asked, "Are we friends, Miss Lin?"

Lin Qingyu pondered seriously before replying, "If you quit being a pervert, we can be friends."

"Well, we’re friends now. As friends, I dropped you home, so don’t I deserve an invitation to come up for a bit?" Yang Gang grinned.

Lin Qingyu gave Yang Gang a wary glance, "What...what are you trying to do?"

Yang Gang looked dejected, "Do I look like a bad guy? Today I helped you pick out clothes, fought off a bully, and drove you home. After doing so much, can’t even get a hot cup of tea. I am such a loser..."

Lin Qingyu fell apart, "Alright, stop talking about it! You can come in, are you happy now?"
