Chapter 145 Elliot Gong... you are so dead! (1/2)
The next day…
”Morning, sissy~” Lexi calmly greeted the dumpling sitting beside her pillow.
It was a great morning for her as she didn't have work for a week starting today. Hence, Lexi relished herself by rolling while being wrapped with the thick blanket on the bed.
”You didn't sleep with Eli last night?” Sensing that Churu was acting weird since yesterday. If only Lexi wasn't busy, she would have had pointed it out.
”He was tired yesterday and he was asleep before I arrived.” Frowning, Churu seemed she was extra dejected by the matter.
However, part of her was disheartened from her abrupt unnecessary conversation with that insignificant being. Yet, Churu decided not to inform her host about it as she didn't want to make things difficult for her. After all, Churu was certain that one way or another, Lexi would fall for Ethan Lu which was a good thing.
”Sissy, what's the problem?” For some reason, Lexi sensed that there's something more why Churu was depressed, thus, she asked while covering half of her lower face with the white comforter.
”I just told you… I want abs.”
Lexi thoroughly scrutinized Churu's expression and after giving her the benefit of the doubt, she slightly shook her head as she rolled her eyes.
”Sissy, is there a guy like you around us? What you're doing makes me think that; what if they're a guy guardian like you and he watched me bath? It's very alarming.”
”Don't worry~ as long as I'm here, only Mr. Main task can see your body~” in a split second, Churu returned to her usual cheerfulness, alas, Lexi could discern that she was forcing it. Still, Lexi chose not to take notice and kept her questions with her.
”Alright, then. At least, I have someone like you with me.”
”Give me lots of facial masks and beautiful dresses and headbands then~!”
”Yes, yes. I haven't forgotten. I will buy the material tomorrow, okay?” Smiling gently, Lexi closed her eyes again to take another nap.
When Lexi fell asleep again, Churu's smiling face gradually disappeared. Surely, the words from the woman yesterday caused some effect even if Churu had shown her fierceness and tried to shrug the matter off.
Staring at Lexi's peaceful sleeping face, the little dumpling let out a heavy sigh. Only Churu could understand her sigh as she almost forgot her ending of this story.
Indeed, she never thought that her ending would become hard as she never expected that she'd get too attached to her host. With Lexi's profile and how she was an unlikeable character that Churu thought it would be good entertainment and a refreshing occupation if she took the job as her guide.
However, as time goes by, Churu grew fond of her as she herself was surprised by Lexi's other side. She might seem unapproachable and very hard to pleased but when one got to her soft spot, Lexi was actually appreciative of simple gestures. Therefore, Churu knew that sooner or later, she'd fall for Ethan Lu. After all, the guy's personality perfectly matched hers and he loved her dearly without any reason.
'At least, there's someone that will take care of you when I'm gone.' Churu murmured as a meek smile formed on the side of her lips.
Thinking that Ethan Lu would be enough to fill the void in Lexi's cracked heart and had the ability to heal it, Churu felt relieved despite knowing that their memories together would be forgotten by her host someday.

At 10 am, Lexi was finished preparing her baggage and dolling up. Since she hadn't had breakfast, she decided to grab some in the hotel's buffet. Glancing at Churu from time to time, Lexi was relieved that Churu was back to her usual self.
