Chapter 172: One more look at you

Yao Rou’s ice-cold freezing body was thrown into Ling Yun’s embrace. Her delicate body trembled and her heart beat faster than ever.

Being embraced by Ling Yun and feeling his body warmth, Yao Rou instantly felt warmer. Simultaneously, she felt an intense sense of security which made her feel that everything she had done for Ling Yun today was worth it.

She leaned against Ling Yun’s shoulders and put her arms around his neck. She stayed in Ling Yun’s embrace, motionlessly and obediently, as if she was an injured kitten.

Ling Yun held Yao Rou’s shoulders with his right hand and held her thighs and buttocks with his left. As the nurse’s uniform skirt was very short, Ling Yun’s left hand was directly touching Yao Rou’s tender thighs.

Ling Yun glanced across a couple of road intersections and stopped at a remote roadside. He continued to embrace Yao Rou as he asked, “Where do you stay? Have you eaten dinner?”

Yao Rou bit her lips and shook her head, “I have a rented house near Shi Li Jiu Courtyard, I…have not eaten yet.”

It was hard for her to tell Ling Yu, as the place she rented only had a room about ten square feet in size with an old single-sized bed and it did not even have a decent table inside.

From the evening till night, Yao Rou had been under shock due to all kinds of complicated feelings she had been having. This caused her to be so excited that she did not even want to eat before seeing Ling Yun.

Ling Yun frowned, stared into Yao Rou’s eyes and asked, “You haven’t eaten since the afternoon?”

Yao Rou became flustered once she saw Ling Yun’s deep gaze. She subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze but she couldn’t bear to. Hence, she frantically nodded her head and whispered, “Yup…”

Ling Yun’s eyes showed a glimpse of unhappiness, yet he continued holding on to Yao Rou tightly with his left arm. Yao Rou blushed. She dared not look into Ling Yun’s eyes anymore and she buried her head deep into his embrace as her hair entangled in a mess.

Ling Yun smiled as he gently and softly said, “Then let’s eat, I’ll send you home afterward.”

Qingshui City was famous throughout the entire country for being touristy. The locals lived colorful nightlives which started at 10.30 pm at night until 2 am. The city bustled with noise and excitement during this period of time.

In the center of the city where the business district was located, colors lit up the streets and travelers filled up the roads.

One could easily find a warm and comfortable place for supper in this area.

Ling Yun was too lazy to call for a cab. He continued having Yao Rou in his arms as he began to walk towards the center of the city. He stopped in front of a grand restaurant and walked in along with Yao Rou.

“This place is too expensive…” Yao Rou hid in Ling Yun’s embrace as if she was a kitten and mentioned to him shyly.

Ling Yun laughed, “We are only going to eat expensive food today!”

“Welcome!” Behind the doors of the restaurant stood four tall and pretty ladies wearing Qi Pao. They could not help but giggle as they saw Ling Yun walking in with Yao Rou in his arms.

These three ladies couldn’t be blamed for laughing. Ling Yun was just wearing a singlet, holding on to a pretty lady in a nurse’s uniform. He looked barely eighteen years old and he was walking in confidently with no regard for anyone else.

However, after taking a closer look at Ling Yun’s face, the four ladies lost their composure and bashfully kept staring at him.

Ling Yun displayed his most stunning smiled and said, “Can you give me the best room for two you have?”

Of course, they did. With the pretty ladies’ guidance, Ling Yun was brought to a quiet room with Yao Rou.

He let go of Yao Rou once he entered the room.

“Ouch…” As Ling Yun abruptly let go of Yao Rou, the blisters at her feet burst. Yao Rou tried to endure the pain but did not manage to. She uncontrollably bent her legs and groaned in pain.

“What’s wrong?” Ling Yun reacted quickly and carried her up.

“Nothing…” Yao Rou endured the excruciating pain and with the aid of Ling Yun, limped to a seat and sat down. Thereafter, she stealthily removed her shoes.

“Let me take a look!” Ling Yun exclaimed with conviction, as he lifted up both of Yao Rou’s legs with one arm.

He gently removed Yao Rou’s high heels and was taken aback.

Yao Rou’s feet were beautiful, flawless, small, tender and delicate. Her toes were elegantly pretty and glossy as if they were sparkling pearls.

But what made Ling Yun shocked were not these, but the several shockingly huge blisters at her feet, as well as the big holes in the stockings she was wearing.

“Nonsense!” Ling Yun’s face turned red with anger. He wanted to call Tang Meng and give him an earful.

“I’m ok…” Yao Rou whispered as she saw Ling Yun angry for the first time. Ling Yun had been a simple and easy-going person all along. This made her feel uneasy.

Any girl would feel bashful if her feet were held in a man’s hands.

Furthermore, from the angle that Ling Yun was at, everything under Yao Rou’s skirt was being revealed to him.

“Don’t put on your shoes yet. Go sit on the sofa!” Ling Yun gently said as he looked at the bashful Yao Rou and gave her a mesmerizing smile.

On the sides of the luxurious dining table were two huge and comfortable red sofas. Yao Rou’s heart was filled with bliss. She did not feel any pain anymore.

“Place your order first. I’ll be back in a while.” Ling Yun hurried out of the room.

Ten minutes later, Ling Yun was back with Yun Nan Bai medicine, band-aid, as well as a pair of comfortable socks and flat-bottomed shoes.

“Have you ordered?” Ling Yun looked at Yao Rou with a smile on his face and asked gently.

“Yes, I ordered a dish of shredded potatoes…” Yao Rou looked at what Ling Yun was holding on to and was almost touched to tears.

Ling Yun shook his head helplessly and called for the waiter again. He looked at the menu and said, “I don’t want the shredded potatoes anymore, get me some lobsters, sea cucumbers, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and bird’s nests!”

Ling Yun had never been so generous before!

Yao Rou felt blissful yet anxious. She stopped him and said, “Those dishes are too expensive, I don’t want them…”

“Just eat it!” Ling Yun stared at Yao Rou and made her quieten down.

Ling Yun was unreasonable, but Yao Rou liked it that way.

The waiter walked out with a smile on her face. Ling Yun had just ordered a few grand worth of dishes. Obviously, she would be happy.

A one-to-one setting, with romantic lamplights and busy streets outside of the windows, made Yao Rou feel like Cinderella. She had been transformed into the most blissful princess in the world. It was as if she had gone to heaven!

Her only concern was that everything came too suddenly and it felt unreal. She couldn’t help but try to feel the pain in her feet for a moment, just to make sure everything was real.

It was around 27 degrees in the room. Yao Rou was kept warm as she lay on the sofa. She stared at the seemingly angry ‘boy’ with her large and beautiful eyes and she had never felt so blessed before.

The immense happiness surrounded her and she felt like shedding tears of joy.

“All I can tell you is that if one follows him and devotes everything to that guy, he or she will never have to worry about anything.”

Tang Meng’s words repeatedly sounded in Yao Rou’s ears. He had not been lying.

Ling Yun looked at Yao Rou admirably. He regretted slightly that he had almost misjudged her.

“Are you crazy? You knew I was going to study through the night, yet you waited there foolishly without even eating anything!”

Ling Yun finally spoke and blamed Yao Rou.

“I just wanted one more look at you…” Yao Rou had not drunk any alcohol, but she was already love drunk.

“Aren’t I handsome?!”

“You are!”

Ling Yun giggled and gently said, “Alright, don’t do any more silly stuff in future, you’ll give me troubles, and I don’t like that…”

Yao Rou became worried and just when she was about to explain herself, Ling Yun continued, “Tomorrow, you’ll rest and recuperate at home. Afterward, help me to hire two experienced nurses. From then on, you’ll just manage the clinic for me and leave the nursing work to them.”

“Also, manage the clinic well. Don’t be too stingy, we don’t lack money. Get Tang Meng to help you out. If he dares to behave like today again, I’ll give him a beating!”

“Tang Meng is really nice. He actually asked me to head back home and rest several times today, but I refused to…”

Yao Rou immediately put in a good word for Tang Meng and she stated the truth.

“I know, but I know better than you what that fellow is thinking, so you don’t have to explain.”

Ling Yun smirked and stopped talking. The room quietened down and the atmosphere was romantic and amazing.

A few minutes later, Yao Rou could not bear with such a unique atmosphere anymore., She abruptly murmured, “You run really fast…”

Ling Yun grinned. “That’s already considered slow.”

“Slow?!” Yao Rou exclaimed in disbelief.

As Qingshui High was a school compound, its distance from the central business district of the city was very far, at least a dozen bus stops away. Ling Yun had carried Yao Rou and spent only five minutes to run that distance. That took less time if they had called for a cab, and Yao Rou could not believe it.

“You’ll find out more next time, but don’t ask anymore, alright?”

“Ok…”

Yao Rou was a very obedient and agreeable person. She thought for a while and carefully asked again, “This evening, was that lady your…”

Of course, this was what Yao Rou was most concerned about.

Ling Yun smiled mockingly. “My girlfriend? She’s still young, let’s talk about that next time…”

Yao Rou did not know whether she should be happy or disappointed upon hearing such a vague answer. She was instantaneously dejected and did not know what to say anymore.

The room quietened down once again.

The door opened. Bird’s nests, along with sea cucumbers, were served.

Ling Yun smiled, “Let’s eat! If there are any leftovers, I’m not treating you to any more meals in future!”

The duo ate for more than an hour. It was midnight when Ling Yun brought Yao Rou and left the restaurant. He called for a cab to send her home.

The place where Yao Rou lived was messy. She did not want Ling Yun to see what her place looked like, hence when she got off the car, she said that she wanted to go in by herself.

However, Ling Yun just happily put his arm around her waist and they reached her doorsteps in a short while. It was pitch black.

Yao Rou had no choice. She opened the door and they entered the pitch dark room. Ling Yun found the switch and switched on the light, then let Yao Rou down on her single-sized bed.

As Yao Rou was a nurse, although the room was extremely simple and crude, she kept it in a good and clean condition.

“Since…since young, my family has been poor…” Yao Rou sat on her bed and dared not look into Ling Yun’s eyes. Her eyes were filled with a deep sense of inferiority as she bit her lips and spoke.

She had to say it. Ling Yun had seen it all, she couldn’t hide it anymore.

In this world, how many people look good on the outside but are actually facing problems like poverty?

What made Yao Rou surprised was, after taking a good look at the room, Ling Yun actually smiled and said, “Me too.”

Me too.

A single sentence made Yao Rou tear up instantly!

She had initially thought that Ling Yun would despise her and not care about her anymore. Little did she know…

“Trust me, this will change soon!”

Ling Yun squatted down in front of Yao Rou and gently asked, “Do you have warm water? Take off your socks, I’ll wash your feet and apply medication for you.”

Yao Rou’s face blushed as red as an apple!

A small room with the only two of them at midnight. How could she take off her stockings?!

Ling Yun giggled, “I thought you wouldn’t be shy… Hurry up, I’ll go get the water.”

Yao Rou’s beautiful body was dressed in the nurse’s uniform and a pair of stockings. Ling Yun burst out in laughter at the sight of her bashful face, then proceeded to get warm water.

Yao Rou took this opportunity to remove her stockings at the fastest speed possible, disregarding the pain at her feet.

Ling Yun washed her feet, cleaned her wounds, applied medication, then plastered a total of 8 band-aids on her wounds.

Ling Yun put Yao Rou’s slender pair of legs on her bed and gently said, “Alright, it’s just a few blisters, nothing serious. You’ll be fine after a day of rest!”

“I’ll get going first. Call me if there’s anything!”

Ling Yun smiled at Yao Rou, then left.

Yao Rou quietly looked at the gentleman in front of her eyes and just as he was about to walk to the door, Yao Rou, in the heat of the moment, let out a couple of words.

“Stay over tonight, will you?”
