My Arms Can Turn into Blades-Chapter 106 - 99: Heartbeat

"I understand."

Lin Ying listened quietly and then replied softly, "You’re just insecure and afraid of trouble."

"...To a certain extent, that’s not wrong."

Chen Lusi thought for a moment, nodding.

"But I disagree with your opinion."

"Opposition acknowledged."

"I haven’t even stated my point yet."

Chen Lusi explained, "No need to say it; I agree with your opinion. My perspective is very narrow, and I can’t impose it on you. I haven’t even figured out my own life, so your rebuttal is valid."

"...Forget it."

Lin Ying was silent for a moment, then sighed and moved forward a little, straightened up: "Better measure your waist, I can’t argue with you."

"..."

Eventually.

Chen Lusi measured her again.

"You really didn’t gain weight."

Chen Lusi looked up, this time absolutely certain.

"Are my thighs thicker?"

Lin Ying moved her snow-white, well-proportioned long legs under her skirt and tilted her head: "I saw you glancing at them several times just now."

"Not really."

Chen Lusi glanced down at her rounded thighs under the skirt: "But they have gotten a lot paler."

"I don’t believe you."

"..."

"But I’m quite ticklish."

Lin Ying put down her long legs, adjusted her skirt, then closed her legs together, lightly patted them, and turned her head: "Try lying down."

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lusi lay on his side and adjusted his posture: "No difference."

"That’s good."

Lin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, then placed her cool palm on Chen Lusi’s forehead, gently massaging his temples with her slender fingers.

Chen Lusi couldn’t get up for a while and wanted to see Lin Ying’s expression, but the undulating peaks beneath the clothes weren’t visible, so he could only close his eyes.

"Once this event is over, let’s go look at houses... But before that, you should move into the bedroom to sleep. We’ve grown up together, even bathed together when we were fifteen. Don’t be so awkward, okay?"

"That’s called swimming."

"We were in the bathroom together, that’s bathing."

"...Alright."

"Chen Lusi."

"Hmm?"

"Aren’t you going to ask me? Understanding is mutual."

"What’s your weight?"

"Secret."

"...Not asking then."

"You fool, you can ask me what I like, what I’m puzzled about currently. You could even ask my measurements and I’d answer you. Do you really think I’m speaking nonsense when I say I’m fat?"

"..."

No response.

Lin Ying found it odd, moved back a bit, and then looked at Chen Lusi.

Chen Lusi’s expression was calm, breathing was steady.

Seemed to be asleep.

He complains daily about difficulty sleeping, yet now can fall asleep while talking.

A slight smile appeared on Lin Ying’s face, she stopped massaging his temples, placed her white palm on his forehead: "Good night."

Chen Lusi’s breathing became even lighter, instinctively turned on his side, wrapping an arm around her waist.

Lin Ying withdrew her hand, once again brushed aside Chen Lusi’s ponytail, then whispered lightly: "I’m almost out of patience."

No response.

Lin Ying didn’t mind, bowed her head slightly, looked at Chen Lusi, softly said:

"By the way."

"The thing I find hard to understand but am curious about is Chen Lusi."

"The thing I find easiest to understand is also Chen Lusi."

"And my favorite movie is ’Heartbeat’."

"I especially love a line from it."

"Some people have ordinary appearances, and some have dazzling ones; one day, you will meet someone as vibrant as a rainbow, and when you do, you’ll see everyone else as just clouds."

...

The next day.

After waking up, Chen Lusi lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling for a while before recalling what happened yesterday...

He actually fell asleep in the evening.

Thinking it through, it made sense. He was fighting through three fronts the day before, and that night couldn’t sleep well due to what he’d been through during the day and a certain little girl.

And he also spent all day yesterday practicing ’First Line’...

Maybe he was too tired.

Chen Lusi thought about it, struggling to sit up.

The faint fragrance remained in the air.

Chen Lusi picked up his phone and took a glance, Lin Ying had indeed left a message.

[I need to handle the aftermath of the event first, see you tonight (There’s breakfast on the table, remember to eat before you leave.)]

Chen Lusi finished reading the message and turned to look out the window. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

It seemed the event was over, but there’s still a lot of wrap-up work left.

Not to mention Celestial Strategy Trading, there must be a lot of witnesses with the rumors about Activation Burst...

What hard work.

Chen Lusi exclaimed, then put away his phone, just about to get up and prepare.

But as he was about to rise.

Enterprise News popped up a new message.

Looking at the message from Enterprise News, Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment before clicking in.

After Lu Hao’s news broke yesterday.

The whole group exploded, then everyone was silenced.

Now silence has been lifted, and he’s curious about his colleagues’ reactions.

However.

Upon entering the group, he didn’t see discussions about Lu Hao, but instead saw even more shocking news, in a sense.

凡尘:[Shocking! Fifth Squad Celestial Strategy Yu Zhou! Two-timing! His two girlfriends just fought at the headquarters entrance! Yu Zhou Celestial Strategy looked helpless, even claimed he didn’t know them!]

凡尘:[[Image]]]

江影沉浮:[No way! Is it true!?]

凤卿雪:[I just went to check, they’re really fighting, pulling each other’s hair, asking Yu Zhou Celestial Strategy who he would choose!]

杉树鹿夏:[Tsk tsk, didn’t expect Yu Zhou with his thick eyebrows and big eyes to also play so wild!]

空:[You guys talk about this? Forgotten about yesterday’s event?]

砸砸:[Reporting live from the frontline! Waiting to watch!]

[凡尘,空 were silenced.]

Seeing the pop-up message, Chen Lusi was a bit surprised.

Then he opened the image for a glance.

In the image.

Two girls were pulling each other’s hair... between them, a man looking not too old stood helplessly, seemingly explaining to those around.

Yu Zhou Celestial Strategy... probably same rank as Xia Yue.

A high-level from Celestial Strategy Mansion caught two-timing, with two girlfriends tearing each other apart on the spot, was indeed shocking news.

But this was quite unexpected for Chen Lusi.

And combining it with the recent silencing, he roughly guessed, Celestial Strategy Mansion was intentionally suppressing Lu Hao’s related news.

Perhaps, the various squads were notified internally yesterday.

So now no one discussed yesterday’s explosive news in the group.

...Except for those who hadn’t received the notice.

Must say, this was good news for him.

If constantly discussed, put under the spotlight, Chen Lusi couldn’t handle it either.

Xia Yue?

Chen Lusi thought about this, then put down his phone, walking towards the bathroom.

But.

To suppress a message, such a huge sacrifice?

Celestial Strategy, entertaining with its reputation.

The Yu Zhou Celestial Strategy... indeed had a sense of dedication.

He’s a warrior.

...

Meanwhile.

In another group unknown to Chen Lusi.

陆上行舟:"Tang Language!! You imbecile!! You wait for me!!!"

唐语:"Didn’t you say ’such a nice thing’ yesterday? Now the nice thing happens to you, I’ve satisfied you, aren’t you happy?"

陆上行舟:"Get lost! Hurry up and get those vixens to leave! Or I’ll go up the mountain and dismantle your fox den immediately! My lifetime reputation is about to be ruined!!!"
