Chapter 389 - What is a Beauty (1/2)

Xia Ruoxin's hands began to clench up by her side, and her body froze ever so slightly. However, gradually, she began to relax with the sound of the man's breathing. He smelled clean with the scent of shower gel; refreshing and natural. There was even a hint of the doctor's disinfectant which was too clean.

All of a sudden, she was tired. Indeed, this was truly an irresistible temptation. She had worked hard, been on her own toiling for so long, went through turmoil, and had seen so much. Sometimes, all she wanted was to have a shoulder to depend on just like this.

However, her identity…

She was a divorced woman with a daughter. She was a cripple, and she had even sold herself. There were times when she would look at herself and feel ashamed. Occasionally, she would think of how wonderful it was to have met someone like Gao Yi. How amazing would it be if the one she loved had not been Chu Lui? With everything that had happened this year, was it going in the reverse direction, towards a road of blooming flowers?

Yet, this was wishful thinking. After all, she had not met one; she was already like this.

”Go to a school. I will help you find a good one.” Gao Yi reached out and rubbed her back in a soothing manner. He felt her body slowly relaxing. He was not in a hurry. They had plenty of time together. A woman who had been hurt before would not open herself up easily to others.

Wounds needed time to heal.

Time would heal everything. He just had to wait.

Xia Ruoxin hesitated. Finally, she nodded her head gently.

”Okay,” she agreed.

She would repay him. Just let her owe him a bit more. She would do everything within her power to repay him for everything.

Gao Yi moved quickly. After a few days, when Xia Ruoxin had almost forgotten about attending art school, he told her that he had found her a school. It was in the vicinity of Rainy's school, and he had already paid the fees and registered for Xia Ruoxin without discussing with her. He knew her well. With this woman, he had to hand it to her directly. Otherwise, she would only delay it again and again because of her habitual inferiority.

A woman needed her self-confidence. Yet, Xia Ruoxin's confidence had been worn off throughout all these years. In order for her to find herself again and become the old Xia Ruoxin, she needed to truly forget the past and start afresh.

Naturally, a woman like Xia Ruoxin also remembered who had treated her well. She tended to forget easily those who had owed her. However, if she was the one to owe someone, she would remember that person for the rest of her life. Sometimes, Gao Yi was also being selfish. The reason why he had been doing so much for her was that he wanted to make it impossible for her to leave him.

On this day, Xia Ruoxin brought her registration form and came to the art studio.

Knock, knock. She knocked on the door and took a deep breath. The door opened, and a young woman came out.

”Hi, I am here for the class.” Xia Ruoxin smiled coyly as she handed over her registration form.

The woman who came out took over the registration form and scanned through the particulars. Then, she turned back and shouted into the room, ”Hey, come out quick. There is a beauty. A gorgeous, beautiful woman is here. She will be gone if you are late.”

When she's finished, she suddenly gripped Xia Ruoxin's hand tightly. ”Oh, I am holding the beauty's hand. I feel so fortunate. I am so happy that I am going to pass out.”

Xia Ruoxin could hear the sound of random footsteps stomping around behind the woman. All at once, more than ten heads popped out from the small doorway. Weren't they afraid of getting their heads stuck in the small space?

”Stop pushing me. My head…”

”Stop pushing already. You are squeezing my guts out.”

”Where's the beauty? Where's the beauty?”

”She's right here. I touched here.” A hand reached out. They had no idea whose hand was it, but it had accurately found its way onto the back of Xia Ruoxin's hand.

”Ah… I touched the beauty!”
