Chapter 819: Chapter 819: The Person He’s Interested in is Gu Linxi
On the other side,
Cui Jiangjing walked briskly into a secluded alley’s chanic shop in the city center.
The shop was roughly 200 square ters – not small by any asure. Inside, there were all sorts of vehicles brought in for repairs, and quite a few children, who looked very young, were sweating profusely as they worked on these vehicles. They cooperated and worked thodically on their tasks and were indifferent to his arrival.
This wasn’t his first ti here; he had long been accustod to being ignored and headed straight for the separate workshop inside the chanic shop.
In a small compartnt that was partitioned off, Gu Linxi was sliding out from under a bright blue racing motorcycle, her back resting on a simple skateboard. Made of just a wooden plank and four wheels, every ti she had to get underneath a vehicle, she relied on this little thing.
“Xixi, have so water.” A boy, extrely handso, in a school with loads of heartthrobs, handed her a thermos, his lips curled in a smile, “I added red dates and goji berries inside; it’s very nourishing.”
...
Gu Linxi took it from him, her eyes serene, “Thank you.”
She tilted her head up to drink, not at all like ordinary girls who affected their actions. She gulped down a large portion before setting down the thermos with great satisfaction, twisted the cap back on, and placed it on a small table beside her, “Jiu, I’m almost done with this car. After I finish, I want to take a few days off, so don’t take on any new jobs for temporarily.”
While working, Gu Linxi preferred to wear a simple tank top, which unintentionally revealed the full sleeve of enchanting tattoos on her left arm.
Plus, she had just been sweating, and with her skin heating up, the originally blue flowers on her tattoos seed as though they were bewitched, slowly turning red, as red as dropping blood, mysterious and enchanting. Her body was well-proportioned, her skin luminously pale. At that mont, her fine hair clung to her sweaty neck and beads of sweat dripped down her collarbone, giving her ordinarily plain face an indescribable charm.
That unique allure was like a fragrance, subtle yet captivating.
Gu Linxi seed never to have noticed this allure in herself. She lifted her eyelids, surprised, and glanced at the big boy who was suddenly blushing and nervous not far away, “Why do you keep staring at ?”
“Is there sothing on my face?”
As she spoke, she even raised her hand to wipe her cheek, and upon closing her eyes, saw nothing had smudged onto her palm.
What was he looking at, then?
Lu Jiu quickly suppressed his racing heart, glanced away guiltily, avoiding her questioning gaze, and stuttered, “Nothing. I was just… just…”
Gu Linxi grew more puzzled, “Just what?”
Lu Jiu looked up, stared at her for a few seconds, then clenched his teeth, gathered his courage, and admitted, “Xixi, you’re beautiful, and I couldn’t help but stare!”
Indeed, he liked Gu Linxi, had long harbored feelings for this older sister figure.
But Gu Linxi had always seen him as a younger brother, as a child she had saved and needed to take care of, which made him feel both distressed and frustrated.
Every ti he tried to appear more manly in front of her, she took it as just a boy’s adolescent restlessness.
Of course…
Hearing the near-confession from the boy, Gu Linxi showed none of the reactions a woman might typically have. She walked over, picked up a jacket lying on the chair, and as she put it on, she turned around and said, “You think the tattoos on my arm are beautiful, not ! I noticed long ago that you daze off every ti you see my tattoos. Let be clear, you’re still young, and your task is to study. Even if you like them, you’re not allowed to get inked.”
