Chapter 677 - We Can’t be Good (1/2)

“En, she’s sleep,” Xia Ruoxin replied softly. She looked at the clock on the wall, sending a clear message. It was late and time for him to leave.

“I’m leaving now.” Chu Lui put his hands in his pockets and picked up his coat from the couch before putting it on. He then walked to the door and changed his shoes. He opened the door and was about to leave when there was loud thunder outside.

“You…” Xia Ruoxin thought about it and spoke.

“It’s fine, you can stay.”

She felt like slapping herself immediately after she spoke.

However, the words were already out, and she could not go back on her word and throw the man out. Plus, there was a storm raging outside, and it was not safe for him to leave. The roads here were not particularly nice to tread, and she could never make it up if anything happened to Chu Lui.

Even though he was despicable and not a good man, but he only had one life… just like any other man.

“Thank you.” Chu Lui closed the door, his body a little stiff. Xia Ruoxin just thought that he was not used to it, but she did not catch the smile on the corner of the man’s lips.

Chu Lui was a calculative man.

Xia Ruoxin thought that she was smart, but in reality, she was still rather slow like she was before.

There was a guest room in the house. It was usually unoccupied since there were only Xia Ruoxin and her daughter. When she was done tidying up the other room, Chu Lui was seated on the couch outside.

“It’s tidy now; please make yourself comfortable.” Xia Ruoxin rubbed her left arm. It ached whenever it rained.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Lui stood up and walked over to her side. He bent down to her height. Xia Ruoxin was not short; she was 163 cm. She was not the tallest, but she was of average height. However, the man’s height was way over-average so when they were together, the man had to bend over to talk to her all the time even though their height difference was not the greatest.

Xia Ruoxin did not reply as she gently pinched her left arm. There was soreness in her arm. She was not sure whether it was from the bones or from the muscles, but the doctors said that it might be like that for the rest of her life.

“Is your arm in pain?” Chu Lui frowned as he reached out towards her arm.

Xia Ruoxin stepped away from his hand and found a seat. She looked outside the balcony and wondered when the rain would end.

Undeterred the man walked over, squatting down before her.

“I heard that bone injuries might hurt when there are changes in the weather. So I learned a set of massage techniques from an old Chinese doctor. It might not work, but it’s worth a try.”

As he spoke, he pulled Xia Ruoxin’s left arm aside and set it on his leg, gently pinching her acupoints with his fingers. For some strange reason, there was a tingly sensation where the man was pressing. It was not uncomfortable. Otherwise, she would never have any contact with the man.

The man’s warmth passed from his fingers into her skin. His technique seemed to be working, and Xia Ruoxin felt more relaxed.
