Chapter 451: Lost

Leng Xuan was taken aback for a moment, he was no saint. Although he had always regarded Su Yurou as his sister, when she suddenly hugged him like that, the softness of the young girl’s body, the intoxicating scent, and her well-developed, towering chest, inadvertently sent a jolt through his heart, like calm waters stirred by sudden ripples, uncontrollably leading to some restless thoughts.

However, seeing Su Yurou cry so sadly, the impure thoughts that had risen in Leng Xuan’s mind quickly cooled down. He couldn’t help but silently curse himself for being ’beastly’ and, after getting a grip on his emotions, he gently patted Su Yurou’s back, comforting her like a big brother, "There, there, Yurou, stop crying. Otherwise, people who don’t know any better might think Brother Leng Xuan has bullied you." The latter part was said with a deliberately playful tone.

Unable to hold back, Su Yurou let out a snort of laughter. The feeling of hugging Brother Leng Xuan was really nice. For a moment, she truly didn’t want to let go, and perhaps it was this hug that made her feel as if there were no barriers left between her and Brother Leng Xuan. Therefore, the feelings she had been suppressing all along now became uncontrollable, and with a mix of coquettish blame and whimsy, she said, "Brother Leng Xuan is bullying Yurou."

"Eh?" Leng Xuan was startled again and asked in bewilderment, "When did Brother Leng Xuan ever bully Yurou?"

"Hehe, Brother Leng Xuan, I’m just teasing you," Su Yurou said with a sweet smile. Although she really didn’t want to leave the embrace of Brother Leng Xuan, she noticed some classmates passing by and looking over, so she felt embarrassed to cling to Brother Leng Xuan any longer. After finishing her sentence, she left his embrace blushing, her smile tear-stained yet incredibly endearing.

Leng Xuan gave a wry smile. He was still pondering over Su Yurou’s statement ’Brother Leng Xuan is bullying Yurou’. Even though Su Yurou said she was joking, he couldn’t shake the feeling that her words carried many complex emotions. Nonetheless, since Su Yurou wouldn’t say more, he had no way of asking, so he shook his head and responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, of course, Brother Leng Xuan wouldn’t bear to bully Yurou."

Su Yurou laughed happily, feeling so blessed, and asked, "Brother Leng Xuan, do you plan to go to college in the future?"

Leng Xuan was taken aback, this question was indeed difficult to answer. After all, his current real identity was just a bodyguard for Miss Ling, and although his direct employer was the Old Master who would never dismiss him, could he really spend the rest of his life accompanying Ling Xuejiu through high school and then college?

For the first time, Leng Xuan felt a bit lost. After all, he had a glorious past, and to be content as a bodyguard for the rest of his life wasn’t what he desired, especially since his true purpose in seeking a job was to gain more social experience and comprehend the essence of the Defying Heaven Art: "Heaven and earth are impartial, treating all creatures as straw dogs."

Perhaps one day, once he had grasped the core meaning of the Defying Heaven Art, he would choose to leave Ling Xuejiu of his own accord.
