Chapter 600 - This was Endurance (1/2)

The sound of the door opening made Xia Ruoxin's body flinch. Then, another sound and those familiar footsteps resonated by her ear. She didn't even need to lift her head to know who had arrived.

”Ruoxin, are you afraid of me right now?” he spoke with a somewhat-deriding tone before returning to the Gao Yi he used to be. Xia Ruoxin lifted her head only to see the man smiling gently at her, and the nervous feeling in her heart seemingly started to disperse.

She shook her head, wanting to say that she wasn't afraid. However, her hands that were clenched together had already long revealed her emotions.

She wasn't nervous; she was afraid.

”Let's go.” Gao Yi walked into the room and looked back at the woman sitting on the sofa. There was a ray of light on his face. Then, he turned around, and everything was concealed.

Xia Ruoxin stood up and pressed her lips together slightly before following him into the room. There was another sound of the door closing. It made her feel unsettlingly nervous and even a little fl.u.s.tered.

Gao Yi sat down and simply stared at her. Then, he leaned his body against the headrest of the bed as he watched Xia Ruoxin approach him step by step. It was just that in his eyes, there was a blurred look of regret. Perhaps because the lighting in the room was a little too dim.

Xia Ruoxin lightly let out a sigh, and the hands that were by her side clenched firmly together before letting go. Finally, she was greeted with Gao Yi's gaze that was sizing her up. If this really was what he wanted, then she would give it to him. Whatever he wanted, she would give it to him. The things she owed him… it was impossible for her to repay him in this lifetime.

She sat down. In the quiet room—at that moment, there was the sound of two people breathing… as one inhaled, another exhaled. Finally, their breaths aligned. Gao Yi straightened his body. Then, he reached out his hand and gently pulled Xia Ruoxin over.

The two of them were now one above the other…

And the distance between them had never been so close before.

However, Xia Ruoxin's face wasn't flushed red with embarrassment. Instead, it was pale from bewilderment. Her hands constantly gripped onto the bed sheets below her, and the man's somewhat-hot breath brushed against her face. She had worked in that sort of place for a long time; however, she still couldn't get used to being so close with other men. The only man that she had genuine physical contact with was actually Chu Lui. However, the only thing he gave her was those nightmarish memories and recollections.

”Ruoxin…” Gao Yi softly whispered. His fingers gently caressed Xia Ruoxin's delicate and beautiful face that was contrastingly riddled with horror. He lowered his head and gently kissed her ice-cold lips while his hands on her shoulder moved down and undid her clothes one button at a time.

Xia Ruoxin felt the unusual sensations on her lips. She closed her eyes, her fingers gripping tightly onto the bedsheets below her. Every movement of Gao Yi's fingers made her body unknowingly tremble before stiffening up.

Gao Yi's eyes carefully watched Xia Ruoxin's expressions. He probingly placed his hands on her chest, and her body evidently stiffened up even more. He didn't know if she was rejecting him or rejecting this sort of affairs.

Xia Ruoxin's fingers gripped tightly onto the bed sheets. She couldn't stop him, and she was unable to because he was Gao Yi. Gao Yi who saved Rainy and herself. Gao Yi who gave Rainy and her a home.
