Chapter 109 Roses
It took four vases to arrange the bouquet of roses.
After inserting them, Lin Youning took a bunch upstairs and placed them in their room. The rest were left in the living room, dining room, and balcony downstairs.
After she was done with it, she raised her eyes to look at the person sitting on the chair.
Gu Huaichen hadn't gone upstairs to wash up yet. Lin Youning wasn't sure for a moment whether he didn't want to move or was waiting for her.
The two people's eyes met.
After a second of silence, Lin Youning opened her mouth and asked, "Are you... feeling better?"
She did not forget that when she came back, Gu Huaichen said she had a headache.
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
He raised his eyebrows slightly and responded, "No."
Lin Youning blinked, "Really?"
Gu Huaichen: "Don't believe it?"
Lin Youning didn't disbelieve it, she was just surprised that Gu Huaichen, such a strong man, would have a headache for so long because of drinking. But alcohol is indeed unpredictable.
Thinking of this, she raised her eyes and said, "Then go wash up first."
Gu Huaichen raised his eyelids.
Lin Youning thought for a while, "After you wash up, how about I give you a massage?"
"..." Hearing this, Gu Huaichen was a little surprised. He lowered his eyelashes and looked at her, "You know how to massage?"
"A little bit." Lin Youning said.
Gu Huaichen nodded thoughtfully.
"So, do you want to go wash up?"
Gu Huaichen: "Yes."
He chuckled, "What about Mrs. Gu?"
"I'm going to take a shower too." Lin Youning whispered, "You go to the guest bedroom."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
He didn't care whether he took a shower in the master bedroom or the guest bedroom, but he knew that Lin Youning liked the big bathroom in the master bedroom.
After staring at each other in silence for a moment, Gu Huaichen raised the corner of his lips and asked, "Can't we take a shower together?"
Lin Youning: “…”
Her eyes widened, unable to believe what she heard.
Although, she and Gu Huaichen had taken a bath together before, but that was afterward, when she had almost no strength left, and Gu Huaichen would help her clean.
Taking a bath together when we are fully awake like we are now is something I have never experienced before.
For a moment, Lin Youning was a little surprised and his face turned red.
Seeing her astonishment, Gu Huaichen's eyes flashed with a smile. He looked at her steadily with a frivolous smile on his face, "Youyou."
He called her that again.
Lin Youning's breathing stagnated slightly, and she pulled herself back from her wandering thoughts in a second, firmly rejecting him, "No."
After saying this, Lin Youning didn't say anything more to Gu Huaichen, "I'm going to take a shower, you clean up here."
She originally wanted to clean up the living room, but now she decided to leave it to Gu Huaichen. After all, he didn't look drunk.
Gu Huaichen: “…”
Looking at Lin Youning's back as if she was running away, and then looking at the mess left in the living room, he smiled helplessly.
Is this not a loss for me? !
Running back to the room, Lin Youning raised her hand and patted her chest, then quickly took a nightgown and went into the bathroom. After entering, she hesitated for three seconds and still did not lock the bathroom door.
Of course, she felt that even if she was not locked out, Gu Huaichen would not suddenly break in.
After closing the door, Lin Youning inadvertently looked up at the mirror beside her and saw that her cheeks were red and even her neck was flushed.
She paused slightly, raised her hand to touch her hot ears, and told herself in her heart not to think too much, just take a shower first.
When Lin Youning slowly finished her shower and came out, Gu Huaichen was, not surprisingly, half lying on the bed, reading again.
He really likes reading.
Lin Youning thought in her heart.
She blow-dried her hair in advance and finished the tedious skin care work before walking towards the bed.
Walking to the bedside, Gu Huaichen raised his eyes and looked at her, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning lowered his eyes, "What?"
"Did you forget something?" Gu Huaichen reminded her slowly.
Lin Youning: “…No.”
She paused and looked at Gu Huaichen: "Go sit on the sofa. It's not easy to press on the bed."
Gu Huaichen looked at her for half a minute, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
There was a long sofa at the end of the bed, and Gu Huaichen sat down. Lin Youning was stunned for a moment, blinked, then knelt on the bed, behind him, and raised her hands to give him a massage.
The two of them were very close in this position, so close that when Lin Youning lowered her head, she could clearly see Gu Huaichen's thick and long curly eyelashes. She was also close enough that Gu Huaichen could smell the sweet floral scent on her body, which was not very strong and pungent, but had a hint of seductiveness.
When Lin Youning's soft fingers touched his temple, Gu Huaichen's expression darkened slightly.
Lin Youning really knows a little bit about massage. She studied dance and often suffered from sore and swollen legs. In order to alleviate this condition, she studied massage for a period of time.
But I didn't study it seriously.
The temple massage was not much different from what she usually gave herself.
Gu Huaichen was also a little surprised. Lin Youning's massage technique was very good and very comfortable.
"When did you learn it?" he asked in a low voice.
Lin Youning: "When I was dancing, my teacher also taught me."
Gu Huaichen hummed, paused, and asked, "Have you been injured?"
Lin Youning was startled, "How can you not get hurt while dancing?"
"Where?" Gu Huaichen asked again.
Lin Youning groaned, pursed her lips and said, "I sprained my ankle before."
She was a little surprised. "Do you really not listen to gossip in the circle?"
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
Lin Youning: "...I thought you knew that I was injured."
Her injury was gossiped about by everyone who knew her. Gu Huaichen knew nothing about it and was obviously the type of person who never participated in gossip discussions.
Gu Huaichen: “…I’m sorry.”
Hearing his apology, Lin Youning found it funny, "What is there to be sorry about? Mr. Gu is busy."
Gu Huaichen: “I didn’t care much about it before.”
"I guessed it." Lin Youning said.
She felt that Gu Huaichen didn't even know that people in the circle were optimistic about him and Zhong Yingyuan and thought they were a perfect match.
He was too busy with the affairs of the group and the company. How could he have the time to care about those irrelevant gossips? Besides, other people in the circle did not dare to gossip about him in front of him.
Thinking of this, Lin Youning felt a little relieved.
Suddenly, Gu Huaichen tilted his head, "Mrs. Gu."
Lin Youning raised her eyes, her arms still hanging in the air, "What?"
Gu Huaichen lowered his eyes and looked at her feet. He wanted to ask her if it hurt, but when the words came to his lips, he found it funny. It's inevitable that getting hurt won't hurt.
Gu Huaichen was silent for a moment, then shook his head slowly, "It's okay."
Lin Youning was puzzled, "Do you still want to press it?"
"No need." Gu Huaichen rejected her, his gaze fell on her clear and blank eyes, with unclear emotions emerging in his eyes.
Noticing his burning gaze, Lin Youning looked at him uncomfortably, her eyes flickering, "Then I'll sleep—"
Before she could say the rest, Gu Huaichen raised his hand and pinched her chin.
Lin Youning felt a numbness in his chest and chin, and his long eyelashes trembled, "Gu..."
"Um..." Gu Huaichen replied vaguely, "I'm here."
“…”
