Chapter 143 A New Beginning

She was completely unaware.

His fingers slowly moved away, only to touch the next hideous wound!

Until I gently stroked all the marks on his back.

It's as if doing this can erase his past pain!

As she was doing these actions, a scene that seemed both real and unreal suddenly appeared in her mind!

In the dim light, she saw Lu Jinye's fingers gently brushing against the cross-shaped knife mark on her shoulder and neck. His unfathomable eyes were filled with tenderness and heartache that seemed to overflow with tears...

Was it a dream, or did it actually happen?

She thought about it seriously.

Lost in thought, his fingers unconsciously slid downwards...

Just as she was about to touch a place she shouldn't have, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a large hand!

This brought her back to her senses, and she met Lu Jinye's restless and burning gaze!

He propped himself up on his own, staring intently at her up close.

"Wen Ni".

"If you continue like this, how can I possibly continue to endure it...?"

A sudden tension mixed with an inexplicable ambiguity.

And his ambiguous and unclear words!

It was as if they were asking her a question.

He was also asking himself the same question!

"Endure...what?"

Wen Ni calmed herself down, her breathing steady, and her attitude was very frank: "If you need to go to the toilet, just say so."

"..."

The anger that had been building up in Lu Jinye's chest was abruptly released by her words!

So much so that a faint smile appeared at the corner of his eye.

Is she genuinely confused, or is she pretending to be oblivious?

In his opinion, it seems more like the latter!

But he had no intention of exposing her.

He sat up, grabbed a shirt and put it on, leaving it unbuttoned, his firm abs exposed to the air.

I wonder who she's trying to seduce!

Wen Ni cursed herself several times in her heart before she could barely tear her lustful eyes away!

When did you wake up?

"When you touch me."

"..."

Faced with the accusations, Wen Ni was powerless to defend herself!

She did touch it, and more than once.

However, she didn't intend to get too entangled with him on this issue!

She straightened her expression slightly and got down to business, "It's good that you're awake, I have something to tell you."

"What is it?" He looked up at her.

"Before Mr. Lu left on his long journey, he asked me to take good care of you, but I failed to do so. Therefore, I cannot accept the gift he gave me with a clear conscience, so please pass it on to me! In addition, I will apply to my superiors to end my guard duty early."

"You can't even wait one last month?"

Lu Jinye's smile froze on his face and slowly disappeared.

He lowered his eyes, rubbed his fingers, and felt the warmth of her wrist still lingering on his fingertips.

"Since Grandpa gave you Grandma's notebook, there's no reason for him to take it back. You didn't neglect your duty either; today's dangerous situation was entirely my fault, and has nothing to do with you!"

"That's not what I meant." Wen Ni noticed that Lu Jinye's mood had suddenly soured, and he must have misunderstood her.

“Xiao Cheng is going to a new school to be a senior in high school, and school will start early. I’m going back to help him prepare some things.”

"Furthermore, Huaguo Medical University also informed me later that the semester would start a few days earlier than usual this year, and that a joint military training program would be held for half a month."

Wen Ni didn't know why she had to explain.

Many of the things she did to Lu Jinye were inexplicable even to herself!

"Military training..."

So that's how it is.

Lu Jinye's arrogant and dissatisfied expression finally softened slightly.

"So, Lu Jinye, our bodyguard relationship ends here. If there's an opportunity in the future, we..."

“We’ll meet again.” Lu Jinye suddenly spoke, picking up where she left off, leaning forward so their breaths mingled. “Remember my words, Wen Ni. The end of one relationship is often the beginning of another!”

His deep voice seemed to have an alluring magic.

His genuine smile was imprinted in her eyes, stirring her heartstrings as she tried to remain calm and composed!

No wonder he has so many fans.

This guy... he's got something!

...

After returning from the Lu family, Wen Ni spent a whole week either busy at Bao Xiang Zhai, or taking Wen Cheng to buy things for school, and running around to complete some unfinished procedures!

Lu Jinye, on the other hand, has been confined to the compound to recuperate from his injuries.

There seemed to be no connection between them. But in Wen Ni's life, his presence could be seen anytime, anywhere!

"Sister, I've completely adapted to the new school's learning pace these past few days, so you don't need to worry about me!"

On the phone, Wen Cheng's voice was bright and cheerful!

"Sister, today is your first day at university. Remember to take pictures and record videos for me!"

Okay~

Wen Ni got off the bus, dragging a suitcase and carrying a small backpack.

The bus advertisement behind her features Lu Jinye's incredibly handsome face, endorsing a casual clothing brand!

Across from the billboard is China's top medical institution: China Medical University.

Crossing the driveway and standing in front of the school gate, Wen Ni paused and looked back at the endless stream of cars.

For some reason, she felt like someone was following her today.

But in reality, there's nothing there?

She's being a bit too sensitive.

With that thought in mind, she dragged her suitcase and walked into the school gate.

That is, she had only been in the school for a short while.

A black sedan slowly drove out from the corner of the intersection, moving so cautiously it looked like a thief!

"Mr. Lu, won't we be mistaken for some kind of perverted stalker?" Qin Yuan was a little worried.

Lu Jinye didn't want to pay attention to him.

"But Mr. Lu, since you're already here, why don't you show yourself?"

"Now is not the time."

"...Huh? It's not the right time yet?" Qin Yuan was truly confused. "Then when is the right time?"

Qin Yuan has been extremely busy these past few days!

He personally contacted all the advertising spaces within Miss Wenni's line of sight and replaced them all with posters of Master Lu!

"What's the rush? Absence makes the heart grow fonder. If we're together every day, Xiao Nini will get tired of it, but if we're separated for a while, she'll only miss our Master Lu more and more!" Assistant Xiao Wu said, shaking her head and making a delicate gesture with her fingers. "Alright! Xiao Nini's gone! We have a shoot this afternoon, let's hurry up and drive!"

Will I miss him?

Lu Jinye remained silent, gazing thoughtfully into the school gate.

Qin Yuan silently started the car.

He now reasonably suspects that this terrible idea was given to Master Lu by Xiao Wu!

As the car slowly drove away, the sun rose higher, and more and more new students arrived at the school to register.

Inside the school gate, a straight path is lined with lush, green trees that stretch all the way to the teaching building in the distance!

Under the tree were rows of small tables, and beneath the tables were red banners displaying the names of various majors.

Meanwhile, the senior students in charge of welcoming new students from each major sat at their respective tables, smiling warmly at each new student who came to register!

"Hello, I am a freshman in Class 2 of Clinical Medicine. My name is Wen Ni. This is my registration form."

"Wen Ni... ah, your name is here!"

The senior student with neat short hair lowered his head, checked a number on the registration form, and then made a simple inquiry record according to the procedure.

Immediately afterwards

He then handed over an item collection list and a check-in flowchart.

The whole process took several minutes, and he didn't even lift his head.

"Tuition fees can be paid online, and you can pick up your pillows, blankets, and other belongings from the dorm supervisor on the first floor!" He added in a rather casual tone, "If you have too much luggage to carry, you can borrow a trolley from the dorm supervisor!"
