Chapter 120 Held Her in His Arms
Xia Qinggui tensed up and turned a corner, just as she was about to seize the opportunity to run forward, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, a huge shadow looming in front of her. Her heart suddenly rose to her throat, and she screamed unconsciously:
"Ah..."
The figure was tall, and the shadow loomed over her, blocking out all the light.
Xia Qingxi couldn't see his face at all. A huge fear came over her. She didn't sit there and wait for death. Instinctively, she stretched out her hands and beat the other person madly, shouting:
"Get out, get out..."
The man didn't move at all, his chest was as hard as a wall. An unprecedented sense of despair and powerlessness filled her heart. Just when she was about to collapse, a familiar voice suddenly rang above her head:
"Qingxi..."
When Xia Qingxi heard this voice, she was petrified for two seconds, then raised her head and looked carefully. Finally, with the faint light, she confirmed that the person in front of her was Lu Jingxie.
Nervous, helpless, afraid, terrified... all the emotions, at the moment of seeing Lu Jingzhen, all turned into a huge grievance. She called him with a trembling voice:
"Lu Jingzhen."
After calling, she suddenly fell into the other's arms, opened her arms and hugged him tightly.
At this moment, she needed a sense of security too much, and hugging him was completely instinctive! Just like a person hanging on a cliff, when he sees a rope, he will reach out and grab it immediately.
The person in his arms is now like a frightened kitten, shaking slightly, looking helpless and aggrieved. Lu Jingzhen's heart was pulled up, and he only felt distressed and self-blame.
He raised his arms and held her in his arms, gently stroking her back, and his voice was more gentle than ever before, comforting her:
"I'm here, don't be afraid."
Through the thin fabric of her shirt, Xia Qingxi felt the warmth from his strong chest, and her uneasy and frightened heart was gradually soothed.
After a long time, the two separated, and Lu was shocked and bent down to pick up the car he had just thrown away.
After being extremely frightened, the body will feel weak and powerless. Xia Qingying didn't even have the strength to speak. She was dragging her body to sit on the back seat when the man next to her suddenly stretched out his arm, grabbed her waist, and gently pulled her...
When she reacted, she was already sitting on the crossbar in front of the bicycle, and he was completely in her arms.
The bike rode slowly forward, and Xia Qingying was held in Lu Jingxie's arms intimately, with his strong chest behind her. At this moment, she didn't feel awkward at all, but felt extremely at ease.
His body was pressed very low, and the two of them were almost pressed together. Because of the movement of riding, there was a slight friction between their bodies.
Keeping this ambiguous posture, Lu Jingchen rode the bike all the way back home.
Xia Qingxi had slowed down, and after arriving home, she slid down from the crossbar by herself. Lu Jingchen parked the bike, and the two of them walked into the house together.
It was getting late, so the two of them washed up and lay down on the bed.
After being frightened, the body will instinctively show a state of self-protection for a long time. In the moonlight, Lu looked at the person next to him with his back to him, curled up like a cat. He lowered his eyes and whispered:
"When I came to pick you up in the afternoon, the tire was broken."
"Oh." Xia Qingli replied softly, without any intention of blaming him. She knew that he must have encountered some temporary situation and was delayed, so he did not show up at the factory gate on time. Then she explained to him:
"When I got off work today, the factory asked me to help make a sketch portrait model, so I got off work late."
After saying that, he suddenly realized something and asked hurriedly:
"Have you been looking for me on that road?"
If he hadn't been on the road all along, how could it be so coincidental that he ran into him when he was in danger.
Lu Jingqi didn't answer, nor did he mention himself. He repaired the car and arrived at the factory gate, but didn't see her. He thought she had gone home, so he rode the car back. When he got home, he didn't see her either, so he went to find Wu Xiaodong again, but Wu Xiaodong didn't know what was going on. He rode his car to the factory gate again, going back and forth several times, until he met her on the road after nine o'clock.
What's more, he couldn't find her all the time, and he was so flustered that he couldn't stay at home any longer.
Xia Qingxiang did not wait for Lu's shocked reply, but heard him ask in a deep voice:
"What scared you just now?"
"Someone was following me." Xia Qingxiang answered immediately, and the fear came again, making her heart beat wildly again unconsciously.
In the darkness, Lu Jingchen frowned slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched, and he asked in a calm voice:
"Can you tell where the road starts?"
"It should be from the factory gate." Xia Qingling thought for a moment and continued:
"Today, people in our workshop mentioned that there is a perverted hooligan who has been following lone women."
Lu Jingchen did not say anything after hearing this. The idea of taking her to join the army has never been suppressed since it came up last time, and now it has become stronger and stronger.
Thinking that she is alone here, with no one around to take care of her and ensure her safety, he feels very uneasy. He doesn't know when it started, everything about her will involuntarily touch his heart.
But then he thought that she had a stable job here, and she seemed to like this job in the textile factory very much. If he asked her to give up everything here and follow him to the army where the conditions were far worse than here, would she be willing?
After a long while, in the dim light, he asked tentatively:
"Do you like making clothes very much?"
Xia Qingli didn't know why he suddenly asked this, and just thought he wanted to help her relieve her mood and deliberately found a topic, so she answered truthfully:
"Yes, I like it very much."
She really likes fashion design, otherwise she would not have given up painting and chose the design major.
After listening to this, Lu Jingchen frowned unconsciously. She likes making clothes so much. If he asked her to follow the army, she would definitely be reluctant to give up the job in the textile factory.
However, he had made up his mind. Before leaving, he still asked her whether she would go or not, and let her decide for herself
