Lu Che was raised as a boy since she was a child, and her character is not that weak, but she always shows her soft side to Lu Qilin.
Especially when she thought about how the eldest young master was whipped so many times by Master Lu for her, although Lu Qilin was wearing a hospital gown and nothing could be seen, Lu Che knew that there must be hideous scars underneath the gown.
"Silly..." Lu Qilin was amused by Lu Che's appearance. He stretched out his hand and scratched her nose. "No matter how badly I'm injured, it can't compare to you."
She was willing to sacrifice her life for him, so what did the minor injury he suffered matter
Without waiting for Lu Che to reply, Lu Qilin leaned forward with his tall body, covering Lu Che who was standing blankly beside the bed. "Don't move. Let me hold you first."
As he spoke, the man's big hand carefully avoided the wound on Lu Che's left shoulder, slowly wrapped around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Lu Qilin's embrace is broad and warm, carrying the sense of security of a mature man. His embrace is just like him, able to protect Lu Che from wind and rain, and build a space that can accommodate her and protect her.
Lu Che never expected Lu Qilin to wake up suddenly. She thought Lu Qilin was seriously injured and still unconscious, so she dared to feed the young master water mouth to mouth.
She never expected that after catching her in the act, the man did not feel ashamed or unhappy, but instead gently embraced her in his arms.
“Young… Young Master…” Lu Che was a little dazed. When Lu Qilin confessed to her before she was injured, she felt that everything came too easily and too unreal.
How could she be so lucky to be liked by the young master
And now, being held by Lu Qilin like this, Lu Che's thin shoulders trembled slightly, making him feel even more dreamy.
"I've told you so many times to call me Lin, why don't you learn your lesson? Huh?" Lu Qilin's voice was low and deep, hitting her ears, making her feel tingling.
“Lin…” Lu Che changed her words obediently, with a gentleness in her voice that she herself didn’t even notice.
Lu Qilin raised the corners of his lips slightly and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
Lu Che blushed, but he didn't forget to worry and said, "Lin... Is your injury serious? It's all because of me that you got beaten by Master Lu... Otherwise, go and tell Master Lu that I... I'm fine. It's enough for me to follow the young master for the rest of my life... I can be your subordinate for the rest of my life. Go and tell Master Lu that he doesn't like me and won't be with me, and ask him to forgive you, okay?"
Lu Che was not being pretentious when she said this, nor was she lying. She really looked up to Lu Qilin as if he were her heaven.
She felt sad when she thought about how she had dragged down the young master and caused him to be angered by Master Lu.
Lu Che knew that she was not good enough. She was just an adopted child of the Lu family. Her brother Lu Jiu didn't even dare to speak loudly in front of Master Lu, let alone herself.
"So you heard everything?" However, after Lu Che finally mustered up the courage to speak, he got a slightly relaxed response from Lu Qilin.
The man tightened his hands around her waist, holding her small body tighter: "Since you know it, I don't need to think of other ways to coax you."
He was originally afraid that Lu Che would worry too much, so he wanted to find another reason to coax her.
Lu Qilin was afraid that Lu Che would be scared away.
But seeing the worry on Lu Che's anxious little face, Lu Qilin knew that he was worrying too much. (To be continued)
