Chapter 227: Chapter 191: If one day, he puts you at the bottom of his heart_1

Upstairs, Nanxi and Guan La entered the room, scanning it briefly before Guan La told Nanxi, "You strip and lie down on the bed, I’ll apply it for you first. Of course, if you’re not comfortable with it, you can do it yourself."

She could tell this girl was not comfortable with strangers!

Nanxi nodded her head, hesitating as she began to undress.

Even though the other person was also a woman, Nanxi wasn’t familiar with her, causing a bit of discomfort!

Seeing this, Guan La laughed, put the ointment on the table and told her, "You undress first. I’ll go to the bathroom."

Guan La headed towards the bathroom directly, which relieved Nanxi a lot. She quickly undressed and obediently lay down on the bed.

Guan La came out quickly and approached the ready Nanxi with a smile.

Nanxi felt a bit bashful and tried to muster a smile. She thought it must have looked awkward.

The current her, with rashes all over her body, was scary enough. Smiling would surely terrify people even more!

Guan La’s hand was gentle. Her just-washed chilly fingertips grazed Nanxi’s back, causing her to tense.

"Keep still, what are you afraid of? I’ve locked the door, he can’t come in."

Nanxi mumbled something embarrassingly. She didn’t know how to respond.

The woman’s hands gently moved over her back. The warm touch eased the constant itchiness, followed by a soothing coolness... it felt really comforting.

"Can you share how you met Yinchu?" Guan La asked while massaging her back, paused, then added, "Don’t mind me, just curious, no ulterior motive."

Nanxi blinked and admitted, "He was going to have a blind date with my cousin. My cousin couldn’t go, so I delivered the message..."

It was probably that simple. Though Nanxi felt there was a bit of drama hidden in between.

She met Lu Yinchu because of this, but Lu Yinchu didn’t get to know her because of this.

"Blind date?" Guan La couldn’t conceal her astonishment, then she laughed, "What an improbable fate..."

Nanxi pursed her lips and stayed silent.

Guan La sighed again. "Honestly, I’ve known Yinchu for many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen him so invested in a woman."

Continuing, Guan La said, "Don’t be upset, but when I first met Yinchu, I also had some feelings for him. Those feelings, however, disappeared after a particular incident..."

"An incident?" Nanxi was curious. What had Lu Yinchu done to immediately crush anyone’s romantic hopes?

It seemed it was a huge damper on people’s spirits!

"In fact, it’s not really an incident. Once, when several friends gathered together, we were all on our way home and because I was drunk and lived nearby, I shared a ride with him. Do you know what? He didn’t say a word for the entire twenty-minute journey. Only when I got out of the car, did he say ’goodbye’...

"At that time, I felt that he had his own world deep inside, like a fortress that he guarded loneliness. If a woman couldn’t walk into his heart, she would never know what lay behind those fortress walls... Clearly, he considered me an outsider!"

Guan La laughed. "Of course, there’s another reason. I feel that a man like Yinchu is too outstanding, radiant even. Being with him, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to hold onto him, so I always thought that the woman who falls for him would be exhausted..."

Nanxi didn’t say anything when she saw the fleeting sadness in Guan La’s eyes.

No doubt, even if she had given up now, realizing there was no possibility between her and Lu Yinchu, the longing still lingered.

Lu Yinchu was never short of female attention!

Seeing Nanxi remain silent, Guan La forced a smile and said, "Sorry, I get carried away when chatting with someone I like. Don’t take it to heart. The tiredness I mentioned applies when you haven’t reached the bottom of his heart. If one day, he keeps you in his heart, that would be the blessing of your life. Because he would treat you wholeheartedly, doing everything within his power for you, giving you everything he could."

Soon, Guan La finished applying the medication on her back. After Nanxi thanked her, Guan La smiled and replied, "No need to thank me, it’s my responsibility. Besides, I’m not doing this for free. Didn’t Yinchu promise to treat me a meal just now? You should come too. It’d be more fun if we all go together!"

After Guan La left the room, Nanxi took a deep breath. She felt that Guan La was a woman who was generous, warm, and perceptive...

Undoubtedly, she admired her!

Unsurprisingly, for Yinchu to trust her to come over signified his faith in her. How could anyone around Lu Yinchu, man or woman, be unremarkable?

Nanxi sat up and continued applying the ointment to the rest of her body, hoping her rashes would soon disappear. She had no other wishes or thoughts!

...

Downstairs, as Guan La appeared, Lu Yinchu set down his tea cup and teapot, having just walked out of the kitchen. Catching sight of Guan La by the stairs, he paused, "Did she apply it?"

"She’s too shy. I did her back and left the rest to her," Guan La replied as she came down the stairs.

Lu Yinchu didn’t say anything. He walked over to the sofa without looking back and suggested, "If you’re interested, sit down and have some tea."

Lingering behind him, Guan La chuckled. At least he had the decency not to drive her away immediately.

However, she imagined there was more to it than that!

There he stood, with his long slender hands skillfully preparing three teacups, then pouring tea into them. Under the bright light, dressed in a white shirt with black trousers, he looked eloquent.

A good-looking man could turn heads and sway hearts!

Guan La exhaled deeply, discarding her stray thoughts, and sat down on the couch. The man was serving tea...

"That Gu Nanxi, are you sure she’s the one you want?"

Upon hearing the question, Lu Yinchu frowned slightly. Then, without losing composure, he continued pouring tea. After pouring two cups, he handed one to Guan La, retired to his seat, picked up the tea beside him, twirled it around, and in a soft voice, stated, "It’s her."

"Her?"

Guan La creased her eyebrows, looking puzzled.

Lu Yinchu did not answer further. He sat there, lightly savoring the tea scent, his expression as calm as still water, even his eyes were icy cold, devoid of any warmth.

Guan La sat there deep in thought. After a moment, she opened her eyes wide in disbelief, looking at the man, "You mean... it’s her?"

Lu Yinchu lowered his gaze, sipping his tea without responding. But in silence, he had confirmed it.

Guan La sat there stunned, motionless for a long while.
