Chapter 72 The Mark of Love
The yoga studio is a fifteen-minute walk from Qingyu Garden.
After breakfast, Xu Qingwu was about to go out, but she didn't expect Cen Xihuai to take her there.
Usually they travel by car, but this is the first time they travel side by side.
The breeze in the autumn morning was cool and comfortable. Cen Xihuai walked on the outside of the road, and Xu Qingwu walked beside him. Their arms would touch each other from time to time as they walked, and the fabric made a slight friction sound.
Xu Qingwu was a little absent-minded.
When crossing the road, she almost didn't notice the motorcycle that suddenly came out. Cen Xihuai was quick to grab her wrist, and Xu Qingwu was startled.
Cen Xihuai frowned and reprimanded in a gentle tone: "Pay attention when walking, safety comes first."
"knew."
Xu Qingwu was still frightened and in shock.
Cen Xihuai's fingers moved down along her wrist, holding her hand in his palm. He led her all the way to the door of the yoga studio before letting go and touching her hair: "Study hard, I'll pick you up for lunch after lunch."
I feel like a father sending his daughter to school...
Xu Qingwu dodged his hand awkwardly and said okay.
The yoga studio was on the top floor of a six-story shopping mall. Xu Qingwu took the elevator up. When the elevator door was about to close, she saw a familiar person. Before her brain could react, her hand had already habitually pressed the door-opening button.
"Thanks!"
Yu Qing thanked him, and when she looked up, she bumped into Xu Qingwu. She was a little stunned, and then greeted her awkwardly: "Qingwu."
Xu Qingwu nodded: "Ms. Yu."
There were only two of them in the enclosed space. The elevator was moving at a fast speed, but for the two of them at that moment, it was almost a snail's pace.
"Qingwu, even though it's been a few days, I still want to say sorry to you for what happened last time."
Xu Qingwu was a little surprised that Yu Qing would bring up that day, but she knew in her heart that the person who actually spoke ill of her that day was not Yu Qing, but her friend.
What Xu Qingwu cared about was the phone call that Yu Qing made to Cen Xihuai.
"Ms. Yu, you don't have to apologize." Xu Qingwu paused, making her attitude clear. "But I think we should not meet again in the future. Even if we do meet, it's better to pretend not to know each other. I can't be friends with a woman who has ulterior motives towards my husband."
Yu Qing didn't expect her to say it so bluntly, and her face turned red with shame for a moment.
"sorry…"
Cen Xihuai was her direct senior in the same major, and she fell in love with him at first sight when they were in college.
Cen Xihuai comes from a wealthy family, has top-notch looks and temperament, and is highly intelligent. He is a true child of destiny. There are countless girls who like him, but he is like a clear stream, focusing only on studying and starting a business. He keeps himself clean and does not have any ambiguous relationships with any girls. That's why Yu Qing favors him even more.
She broke into his circle of friends, built good relationships with his best friends, and called him Fourth Brother with them. She always stayed by his side silently, waiting for him to see her one day.
Her friends all thought that she and Cen Xihuai were close, and that her position beside Cen Xihuai would be hers sooner or later. However, Cen Xihuai only regarded her as a friend, or perhaps she only thought of herself as a friend. Cen Xihuai had been as cold and distant as ever for ten years.
She once thought that Cen Xihuai might be emotionally deficient, that he didn't love her, and wouldn't fall in love with any other woman.
Until that day, when she returned to China and just arrived at Yu Hall, she heard her grandfather say that Cen Xihuai had arrived. Her heart was pounding and she ran to find him, only to see him staring at a woman.
His gaze never lingered on any woman, that kind of focused look she had only seen when he was working on the job he loved.
Then, she heard Cen Xihuai introduce her and realized that this woman was his new wife.
She didn't expect that he would get married just one month after she returned to China than Cen Xihuai.
And he seemed to like his wife very much, even making an exception and eating mutton, which he hated the most.
At this moment, she actually subconsciously knew that she had no chance of winning. The phone call was not so much a test as it was just to stop her from thinking about it.
The elevator door opened and Xu Qingwu walked out.
She hired a one-on-one private trainer. After the yoga teacher helped her familiarize herself with the venue, he asked her to go to the fitting room to change into yoga clothes.
After Xu Qingwu changed her clothes and opened the door, she didn't expect to meet Yu Qing again.
The moment Yu Qing saw her, she wanted to say hello, but remembering what she said about pretending not to know her even if they met, she looked away.
Xu Qingwu closed the door and walked out.
"Qingwu..." Yu Qing caught up and handed her a yoga card, "This should be what you dropped."
Xu Qingwu thanked him and left.
Yu Qing stared at the red and purple tooth marks on her smooth back and stood there in a daze.
Those are the traces of lovemaking between a man and a woman.
It was left behind because I couldn't suppress my emotions.
Could someone as cold and restrained as Cen Xihuai also have such a moment of losing control?
The gaze behind her was too intense, and Xu Qingwu felt a little uncomfortable. She quickened her pace and walked into the designated room.
The yoga teacher looks less than 30 years old, is well maintained, has an elegant temperament and a beautiful figure.
There was a stick of incense burning in the yoga room, and the light scent was pleasant.
"Ms. Xu, have you ever tried yoga before?"
"No."
"Okay, let's start with the basics."
"OK."
The yoga teacher spoke very gently. Xu Qingwu followed her instructions to learn the movements. From the initial discomfort, she gradually got into it.
Two hours later, the morning class ended.
After Xu Qingwu thanked the yoga teacher, she was about to go to the fitting room to change her clothes. The yoga teacher took out a silk scarf from her bag and handed it to her.
"Baby, there's a love mark on your back."
The yoga teacher winked at her. Xu Qingwu turned to look at the mirror behind her and saw the extremely obvious tooth mark in the mirror.
Cen Xihuai left it behind last night.
Xu Qingwu blushed as she thanked him. The yoga teacher smiled kindly, "Relax, your boyfriend seems to like your body. If you continue doing this yoga, he will only become more and more addicted to it."
Xu Qingwu: "..."
Xu Qingwu also discovered that Cen Xihuai liked to bite her, like a dog gnawing on a bone. Although it didn't hurt much, she had a scar-prone physique, and the various marks on her body looked very scary every time he finished.
After changing clothes in the fitting room and retrieving her phone from the locker, Xu Qingwu saw the message sent by Cen Xihuai ten minutes ago.
He has arrived.
After Xu Qingwu combed her hair in front of the mirror, she trotted to the elevator.
The elevator door opened and she walked out. Before she reached the door, she saw Cen Xihuai among the passers-by.
He wore simple and ordinary casual clothes as if they were custom-made, and he looked very noble. Many girls were glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally.
"Cen..."
Xu Qingwu walked closer and was about to call him, but noticed that he was looking somewhere.
Following his gaze, Xu Qingwu saw Yu Qing, whom she had met earlier in the elevator and fitting room.
Xu Qingwu walked over to Cen Xihuai and asked, "Why, are you still unforgettable about your old feelings for Miss Yu?"
