When Lu Zhengye turned around, he saw Lin Yusheng's fair skin.
Her waist was very thin, and there was a shocking bruise on it.
Lu Zhengye's gaze turned cold. This wound was inflicted while helping him vent his anger; Chen Miao's death was too swift.
Seeing that there was still no movement after a long time, Lin Yusheng couldn't help but ask, "Are you done?"
"Um."
Lu Zhengye pressed his hand, which was covered in ointment, against Lin Yusheng's bruises, and Lin Yusheng gasped in pain.
Lu Zhengye's hands were hot and large, and his strength was considerable.
Lin Yusheng couldn't help but shrink back, and said in a tearful voice, "Be gentle."
Because of this sentence, a lot of ridiculous images flashed through Lu Zhengye's mind. He swallowed hard and said seriously, "Shut up."
He was a man full of vigor, and Lin Yusheng was his first woman. It would be abnormal if he didn't react at all in this situation.
Lin Yusheng kept her mouth shut, but she was very dishonest.
She was ticklish, and Lu Zhengye's hands, which were applying medicine to her, caused not only pain but also itching.
Lin Yusheng twisted her body to avoid him while asking, "Are you done yet? Are you done yet?"
Helpless, Lu Zhengye could only use his other hand to hold her waist.
"If you keep moving like this, you won't be better by tomorrow."
Lin Yusheng stopped moving.
Lu Zhengye thought she had obeyed, but in reality, Lin Yusheng's face under the thin blanket was already burning hot.
Because she could clearly feel Lu Zhengye's hand holding her slender waist, and the heat was constantly being transferred, Lin Yusheng's body temperature was also rising.
Lu Zhengye hurriedly let go of her hand when he saw that it was almost done, "Okay."
As he turned his head away, he let out a soft breath.
Lin Yusheng sat up after a while and quietly put her clothes down.
"Then I'm going back to sleep."
Lu Zhengye hummed in agreement, then added, "You don't need to go to the company tomorrow and the day after. You're on vacation."
"Oh? That's not a good idea."
She's a newcomer, and Sister Yu has already arranged all her time.
"What? You can't get Director Fu's role without these two days?"
Lin Yusheng immediately retorted, "How could that be? I performed very well. Sister Yu and the teachers all said that I am very talented and was born to do this."
In her previous life, she never attended any classes, yet she still managed to get recognition from the audience for playing a role.
If Deng Xingwen hadn't exposed her, her acting career would never have stopped.
Lu Zhengye nodded. "If that's the case, what's wrong with it?"
Lin Yusheng suddenly realized that Lu Zhengye was secretly pleased.
She thought to herself: Could he be deliberately provoking her so that she can have a stress-free vacation?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Lin Yusheng was very happy.
"See you tomorrow, Lu Zhengye." Lin Yusheng waved and then skipped and hopped out the door.
As Lu Zhengye watched her close the door and disappear completely, he felt an urge to pull her back and keep her by his side.
A soft laugh echoed through the large living room. "Lin Yusheng, you shouldn't have provoked me."
Lu Zhengye returned to his room, intending to light incense and go to sleep, but he suddenly remembered that Lin Yusheng had given him a box of it before.
As if possessed, he put down what he usually used and took out the box that Lin Yusheng had given him.
He scooped out some powder and put it into the incense burner. As the white smoke slowly rose, Lin Yusheng's bright face appeared in Lu Zhengye's mind again.

Because she went to bed late, Lin Yusheng didn't get up until noon the next day.
She opened the curtains and looked at Lu Zhengye's house next door, just like always.
As usual, Lu Zhengye's door was tightly closed, but strangely, a Rolls-Royce was parked in front of Lin Yusheng's house.
A driver was standing at the car door. He saw Lin Yusheng, nodded to her, and gestured for her to get out and talk.
Although Lin Yusheng was puzzled, she still finished washing up and went downstairs.
"May I ask who you are?" Lin Yusheng asked.
The man replied respectfully, "Hello, Miss Lin. I am the driver for the Lu family. My wife would like to invite you for afternoon tea."
"Your wife?" Lin Yusheng asked in confusion. She didn't remember ever having any interaction with Xie Yuqiong, the wife of the Lu family.
"Yes, my wife said that she would be honored to have the honor of meeting you, Miss."
Lin Yusheng thought with disdain, what a show of respect! She, the dignified Madam of the Lu family, was inviting a junior over for afternoon tea. Any other noble lady would have been overjoyed.
But Lin Yusheng always felt uneasy.
After all, Xie Yuqiong had never had any contact with her in her previous life, and now that she was suddenly being invited over, she felt that it was not a good thing.
But Lin Yusheng didn't want to offend the Lu family, so she smiled and said, "Please wait for me, sir, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes."
"Of course, no problem."
Lin Yusheng changed into a light green embroidered dress, put on some light makeup, and got into the Lu family's car.
On the way, Lin Yusheng tried to call Lu Zhengye, but no one answered.
The unease in her heart grew stronger, but Lin Yusheng could only comfort herself by thinking that since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it.
It took the car more than an hour to reach the Lu residence.
The Lu residence looked even more magnificent under the sunlight. This time, the driver drove the car directly in and stopped in front of a small building with a slightly antique style.
The driver said, "Madam is waiting for Miss Lin on the top floor."
"Thank you." Lin Yusheng got out of the car and walked through the door. A maid led her upstairs.
Lin Yusheng felt as if she had returned to ancient times, an era with a hierarchy of status.
The small building has three floors. The top floor is filled with the fragrance of flowers and is surrounded by all kinds of flowers that bloom in this season. There is a beautifully designed pavilion in the middle.
Xie Yuqiong sat there leisurely drinking tea, wearing a proper cheongsam. She looked like she was forty years old, even though she was over fifty. She was very well-maintained.
"Yusheng is here, please sit down." Xie Yuqiong greeted Lin Yusheng warmly.
Those who didn't know them would think the two had known each other for a long time.
Lin Yusheng was wary, but she didn't show it on her face.
She walked over with a smile, "Thank you, Mrs. Lu."
While pouring tea for Lin Yusheng, Xie Yuqiong said, "I'm really embarrassed to invite you here. It's just that when my father celebrated his 80th birthday, I saw Miss Lin. She was very eloquent and beautiful. I've been thinking about her ever since, hoping to get to know her."
Lin Yusheng appeared flattered, "Madam is too kind. I was so clumsy that day and almost ruined Grandpa Lu's birthday celebration. Please don't blame me."
"Not at all, your Grandpa Lu is very fond of you, he still talks about you now."
Lin Yusheng lowered her head and smiled shyly, but the wariness in her eyes deepened.
Xie Yuqiong always made her feel like there was something implied in her words, which made her very uncomfortable.
While Lin Yusheng was wary of Xie Yuqiong, Xie Yuqiong was also observing her.
Xie Yuqiong asked casually, "I heard you signed with Shenggan?"
"Yes, but I don't have any works yet, and I haven't let the company release them. Did President Lu tell Madam?" Lin Yusheng asked with an innocent look on her face.
