166 Watch The Sunse

When Hui Yin woke up, it was already late in the afternoon.

She was lying on a soft bed, an arm draped around her waist. She felt warmth on her back and immediately stiffened. When she tried to get up, the arm around her tightened.

"Don't move. Not yet," Lu Shen murmured sleepily into her hair.

Her whole body was nestled against his, and using the slightest movement, he leaned forward and rested his chin on her shoulder. Hui Yin had not even gotten over her shock when he started rubbing his cheek against hers like a kitten.

"You always smell nice," he told her, sounding quite pleased.

Hui Yin felt her mind blare with red alarms as she struggled to get out of his embrace. But his arm did not even move an inch. She was like an ant trying to shake a tree [1].

While Hui Yin struggled, her body inadvertently brushed against the no man's land area that shouldn't be brushed. Instantly, Lu Shen's eyes darkened as scorching desire surged towards his lower body. When Hui Yin wiggled again to get away from him, he said hoarsely, "Stop moving."

Hui Yin froze. How could she not realize that the man behind her was aroused? Her cheeks flamed with embarrassment as she shouted, "Let go!"

Lu Shen raised himself on one arm and loosened his hold on her. Seizing her freedom, Hui Yin jumped out of the bed like a cat whose tail had gotten stepped on and glared at the man's suffering expression.

If it was the Lu Shen who hadn't lost his memories, she would have been quickly devoured. Fortunately, it was this baby chick.

Left alone on the bed and feeling empty, Lu Shen tried to suppress the lust that made the hardness between his legs swell unbearably. He adjusted his posture and felt that men shouldn't really sleep together with women if they didn't want to be tormented afterwards.

Under Lu Shen's burning gaze, Hui Yin coughed and tried to change the subject. She was feeling gratified that he did not do anything else and was restraining himself. Knowing his personality, doing this was really against his nature.

"Your surgery is already over?"

Lu Shen nodded, trying his best not to look at her. He felt a mixture of shyness, lust, and embarrassment whenever his eyes met hers. He didn't know why he had such a big reaction when he only hugged her body and did nothing else.

Towards this girl who rescued him and continued to stay by his side even though he had a powerful enemy that wanted his life, Lu Shen felt that even if he used his life to repay her, it would still not be enough.

He should be glad that his parents were coming tomorrow, but he dreaded it instead. If they came and took him away, would she come with him? An idea gradually formed in his mind of how to make her stay, only he didn't know if she would be glad to hear it.

Hui Yin's stomach grumbled and Lu Shen remembered the lunch tray he had ordered one of the hospital staff to deliver in case she woke up. He gestured at the sideboard.

"I ordered lunch, but it's probably cold now. I could order a new one if you want."

Lu Shen had been eating soft rice [2] during his stay at Hui Yin's, but the hospital reassured him that his hospital bill would be directly sent to the Lu Corporation. Delighted because he could now spoil her, Lu Shen was even hoping that she would want another lunch tray so that he could demonstrate his capability.

Hui Yin wasn't the type to waste food. To Lu Shen's disappointment, she wolfed down all of the dishes without any scruples, uncaring if it wasn't warm anymore.

When Hui Yin finally finished eating, she looked up only to see Lu Shen's pained expression. She noticed the way his Adam's apple frantically bobbed and the bulge in his pants.

Uh...did he forget how to 'take care' of himself as well?

In the end, she didn't ask. She merely told him that she wanted to take a look outside and left his hospital room. She felt regretful that she didn't remind him not to take a cold shower. He was still injured, after all.

There was a garden balcony on the eighth floor of the hospital, where Hui Yin could watch the sunset quietly. Looking at the distance where threads of orange merged with the billowing clouds and slowly turned its hue to dye the sky a lovely pomegranate pink, Hui Yin felt slightly nostalgic for her present life.

How were the twins? Jiang Xu? Liu Jun? Were Bao Bai and Yu Qiang still hanging out together in Beijing? How about her manager Su Jing? She couldn't help but ask these questions.

Hui Yin took out the cherry blossom hairpin and sighed. She really hated the fact that she had to reset everything. Couldn't she at least preserve the happiness that she had nurtured with her own hands?
