Chapter 8. Edge of the Nude Nail is Slightly…

Even though He Shuyu had never concealed her intentions from the beginning to the end when such blunt words rang in his ears, Chi Xiuyuan’s mind still buzzed and he did not react for a long time.

The woman, who had always been bold, was only looking at him with her arm around his shoulders, not making any out-of-the-ordinary moves.

He Shuyu’s nails were round and full, and the edges of her nude manicure were tinged with pink. When her fingertips pressed against Chi Xiuyuan’s black jumper, they sank slightly.

The soft pink contrasted with the deep black, with the former stepping forward and the latter losing ground.

Chi Xiuyuan looked down in confusion into her tea-brown pupils, which he could see himself in clearly.

Confused, bewildered, uneasy, and a little…

He snapped back to his senses and pushed He Shuyu away.

The 1.85 meter man was messed up like a fool. He leaned his back against the cold window with the back of his hand pressed awkwardly against his lips, and whispered sideways, “Sorry.”

He stopped dodging and bent down solemnly at He Shuyu’s rather interested gaze.

“Ms. He, thank you very much for helping me today. I will definitely repay you what I owe you, and I will also pay it back over. Please give me some time. “

He wanted to draw a clear line with her. He attributed all her help to him to her coveting him. 

The smile was gone from He Shuyu’s face.

She liked the idea of things being opened and shut in the business world, but she also loathed absolute boundaries.

She pressed coldly, “What will you give me back? Can you afford to give me what I want? “

Chi Xiuyuan heard her displeasure, straightened his back, and said, “What does Ms. He want?”

He was asking a question, knowingly!

He Shuyu stepped forward and nudged her slightly pink fingertips against his heart, saying everything without saying a word.

The young man who had been overwhelmed many times in front of her was calm. His brows were lowered, and the difference in height forced He Shuyu to look up at him.

The first time she met him, she felt that his brow was deep and his dark pupils looked at her as if they were lightly veiled with a translucent light.

She wanted to reach out and touch him, but she never did.

“Ms. He, I’m not a commodity you can buy for money. Is it me you want or my body? “

For the first time, he said such bold and revealing words. His expression looked deep, but his quietly turning pink ears revealed his pure feelings.

He Shuyu, who had always been able to decide on the best of two choices, was dumbfounded at the moment.

She didn’t like to lie. Just as when she realised what she liked, she went to great lengths to get it.

She liked Chi Xiuyuan’s perfect height, his long fingers, his strong young body, and the unyielding stubbornness in his eyes when he looked down at her.

He Shuyu withdrew her hand and the aggression faded away like a tidal wave.

Without a word, she turned to leave. Her heels clicked on the ground with a soft click, one after another, as she walked away.

Chi Xiuyuan watched her back and sighed in relief. His taut spine slackened as he leaned against the cold wall, only then realising that a cold sweat had broken out on his back.

The sweaty clothes felt uncomfortable against his body, but he acted as if he didn’t notice anything, staring down at the tips of his shoes. No one knew what he was thinking.

After an unknown amount of time, he peeled his thoughts away from where they shouldn’t be and opened the door to enter the ward.

When Grandma Chi looked over and saw that no one had followed him in and closed the door, she asked after him, “Ah Yuan, where’s Shuyu? Why didn’t you come in together? “

He said, “Grandma, He …… Shuyu is not my girlfriend; she likes to joke around. Don’t mind her, she has to leave first. “

Grandma Chi didn’t expect such a mess, so she frowned and said, “A Yuan, you are a man, but you can’t just give up when you are playing. If she doesn’t like you, why would she say she is your girlfriend in front of others? What’s wrong with Shuyu that you don’t like her?” 

The old woman had no concept that her grandson was still young. There were many people of her generation who had gotten married as soon as they became adults.

When her grandson had a girlfriend, the old woman was happy. But before she could be happy, her beautiful granddaughter-in-law was gone, so how could she still be happy?

Chi Xiuyuan didn’t know how to answer his grandmother.He didn’t know what she had imagined.

Grandma Chi didn’t know what to make of it and said uncertainly, “Ah Yuan, is Shuyu’s family situation very good? Our family has a lot of debt. We can’t let other girls marry here and follow you to suffer. “

The back of Chi Xiuyuan’s hand pressed against his brow. Speechless for a moment, seeing that his grandmother was thinking of something else, he hurriedly said, “Grandmother, you think too much. There is really nothing between her and me, and I am still young. It is still early to get married. By the way, grandma, Zhang Tingting said you have not eaten breakfast ……”

Seeing that he had started to change the subject, Grandma Chi sighed and did not continue.

But at that moment, a mobile phone rang. The name of the song was “As You Wish”. Chi Xiuyuan had heard of it before. It was a song by Tian Wang Zuo Zhi Xi.

He followed the sound and saw He Shuyu’s bag and the jacket she had taken off.

Grandma Chi immediately said, “Ah Yuan, Shuyu is still missing her bag, and her mobile phone is here, so hurry up and send it to her!”

He Shuyu felt that she had lost her normalcy.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t met interesting people in the past twenty-five years. Chi Xiuyuan wasn’t the most special one, nor was he the best looking one, but the nostalgia she felt after one glance was something no one else could give her.

She walked to the entrance of the hospital.

It was snowing heavily, and the world was white. It was a dangerous place to drive.

For the first time, she took the initiative but was frustrated. A wave of irritation built up in her heart, and she didn’t want to stay here.

It was only when she subconsciously went to touch her phone in her bag that she realised she had left her bag in Grandma Chi’s hospital room.

It was undoubtedly more awkward to go back at this point. He Shuyu, who had always pushed others into awkward situations, sighed.

But before she could finish her sigh, a head suddenly popped up next to her. The girl in the beige jumper looked at her tangled, and tentatively said, “Are you …… going to leave?”

When Zhang Tingting learned that Chi Xiuyuan had a girlfriend, she wanted to go straight home.

But she had overheard Sun Weiguo talking to someone on the phone, mentioning Chi Xiuyuan’s name and something about a house.

He Shuyu didn’t expect the little girl not to have left yet, and seeing her cheeks slightly red from the cold, she nodded.

When Zhang Tingting got an affirmative answer, her expression showed a slight tanglement, and she thought for a moment before saying, “Did you and Chi Xiuyuan have a fight?”

“How do you know that?” He Shuyu didn’t deny it either.

Was it a quarrel? They were still strangers before last night.

Zhang Tingting pointed to the heavy snow outside.

“Today is New Year’s Eve. Aren’t you just coming back with him for New Year’s Eve? It’s still snowing heavily outside, and yet you want to leave. You must have quarreled. “

“I don’t know if Chi Xiuyuan has talked to you about his family’s situation, but he must like you a lot if he’s willing to become boyfriend and girlfriend with you.”

He Shuyu raised her eyebrows slightly, not telling the potential love interest in front of her that the title of Chi Xiuyuan’s girlfriend was something she wanted to wear on her head.

The snow wouldn’t stop for a while, so she simply chatted with Zhang Tingting.

The young girl was simple and straightforward, probably not bothered about being a rival, and told her everything in her head.

When Chi Xiuyuan chased after her with her bag and coat, he happened to see Zhang Tingting standing at the hospital entrance.

She frowned and looked out, and when she saw him in the afterglow, she hurriedly said, “Brother Xiuyuan, Miss He has gone out. Her face doesn’t look right, and I don’t dare ask much. Is something wrong? It’s so snowy, she’s alone… “

Chi Xiuyuan didn’t listen to her further. He said, “Thank you,” and rushed into the snow.

Zhang Tingting blinked, her heart a little sour.

She and Chi Xiuyuan had grown up together and had never seen him so worried about another woman.

And rightly so. Who would worry about his own girlfriend if he didn’t?

She didn’t feel like paying tribute to her crushed crush, so Zhang Tingting lowered her eyes and muttered, “I guess there’s no one else in the world who is as helpful as I am to my love interest.”

After she finished muttering, she was about to call home and tell her mother to wait for the snow to stop before she went back when her feet hit the floor.

She finally remembered why she thought Chi Xiuyuan’s girlfriend looked familiar.

He Shuyu! He Shuyu!

He Shuyu was a distinguished alumnus of Jiangnan University. Her graduation photo was still posted on the alumni wall at the top of the list. When she entered the school and visited the campus, she exclaimed that a woman’s life would be complete if she reached He Shuyu’s level.

She looked back outside the hospital in disbelief, but could only see tiny black dots in the white expanse of snow.

Chi Xiuyuan’s girlfriend was…… He Shuyu?

The snow was very heavy. It drifted down from the sky, so beautiful that it looked like the wind was blowing willow wool. But, walking in the snow was like falling into an ice hole, which is particularly cold.

A lot of snow had fallen on He Shuyu, but it was as if she could not feel the winter cold as she slowly walked forward, one step at a time.

She didn’t like to do things slowly, and now she was acting like this, as if she was waiting for something.

The wheels of the white Bentley sank into the snow, and He Shuyu saw it from afar. Her brows were knitted slightly, wanting to look back but holding back.

A gust of wind was blowing and snowflakes were flying around her long hair, which looked beautiful from afar.

But in Chi Xiuyuan’s eyes, it was extraordinarily thin.

He caught his breath and wrapped He Shuyu in his jacket without a second thought. His eyebrows took on a bit of a stern look.

“Are you crazy? Running outside in such heavy snow? What if someone driving didn’t see you? “

The snow kept falling, and He Shuyu’s jumper was white. If your vision was obstructed in the snowy weather, you couldn’t tell there was a person standing in the snow unless you looked carefully.

He Shuyu did not appreciate it, but raised her eyes to look at him.

“Do you want to sleep with me? What are you doing chasing me out?

The straightforward words choked Chi Xiuyuan, and the subtle emotions that had been present in his chest since a moment ago disappeared into thin air.
