BXBX NOVEL Chapter 381 Your Happiness Is My Happiness
Li Caiyi hissed in pain when he accidentally touched her on the sore spot.
"Sorry, did I grab you too hard?"
"No, you didn\'t. It can\'t be helped."
"I\'ll be more careful. Just cry out if it hurts. Don\'t hold it in."
How could Li Caiyi cry out when he clearly treated her with extra gentleness like this? The feel of his warm skin and cold towel overlapped and created a comfortable sensation on her foot.
Dai Zhiqiang\'s hands were big, and they could almost easily envelop her whole feet in his grasp. Li Caiyi focused her attention on that hand, thinking about how much work he had done using these hands in the last few days.
The more she heard about it, the more her suspicion grew. His job was definitely not just your regular bodyguard job. Although Dai Zhiqiang was skilled in fighting, Li Caiyi couldn\'t help but feel uneasy, knowing there was a \'generous\' person behind his back.
What if his boss secretly ordered him to do something illegal?
Dai Zhiqiang was much brighter than her, so she believed he must have thought this through before agreeing. That was what she tried to believe until Meng Renshu told her about him.
[He is a murderer. With his hand, he killed three people mercilessly].
Once again, Li Caiyi couldn\'t take her eyes off his hands. She couldn\'t imagine him killing someone using those gentle and warm hands in the future.
Although Dai Zhiqiang was a bit rough when provoked, he was inherently a good person. He couldn\'t avert his eyes from injustice and the amount of time he had helped her in the past was uncountable.
Li Caiyi believed in him, but she couldn\'t trust those he worked with. They could very well force him to do those things.
Drowning in her thought, Li Caiyi reached out and clasped Dai Zhiqiang\'s hand in hers, prompting him to raise his head. "What\'s wrong? Did I wrap the towel too tight?"
Li Caiyi shook her head. "Zhiqiang, will you tell me what kind of job you have been doing in the past few days? Did they ask you to do something you are unwilling to do?"
Dai Zhiqiang studied her facial expression and straightened his back. "Caiyi, are you that worried about me?"
"How can I not?" Li Caiyi bit her lips before adding hesitantly. "You know, please don\'t think badly of me and listen until I finish first. Currently, my first book is selling well, and if this goes on, I can probably help you more. So, if your boss asks you to do something you don\'t want to do, just quit. I will do my best to support you."
Dai Zhiqiang stared blankly at her before breaking out in amused laughter. It dispelled the tension in the air.
"You don\'t have to laugh that hard…."
"Haha, sorry. I laughed because I\'m too happy." Dai Zhiqiang snorted while wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes. He gently intertwined their fingers before replying, "Thank you, Caiyi. Your corner warmed my heart. And as much as I would like you to spoil me, this isn\'t the way to do it. You worked hard for what you have right now, so it\'s only right that I do the same."
"But, you are clearly pushing yourself too hard. Don\'t think I never noticed that you got injured several times after taking this job. You can try to play it cool, but you can never fool me."
"Oh, you found me out? Then why didn\'t you say anything?" Dai Zhiqiang smirked mischievously as he leaned closer to her sulking face.
Li Caiyi looked away from his playful gaze. She could feel her cheek burning from how close he was to her. This cave was too narrow for both of them.
"Even if I did, I know you won\'t listen to me anyway. Seriously, you always make people worry about you."
"Well, I could say the same to you. Mind telling me why you came to K city with Senior Meng instead of everyone else using the bus?"
"How did you know that?" Li Caiyi raised her head in surprise and immediately regretted it because now she couldn\'t take her eyes away from his black, inky eyes, which seemed to penetrate her being.
"You are underestimating people\'s interest in you. If you arrive with a person like that guy, everyone will talk about it, whether you like it or not. I just happened to hear some of them talking about it. Care to explain?"
Li Caiyi frowned. "Why do I feel like you are avoiding the topic? I\'m the one who is asking you a question here. I\'ll answer that if you answer my question first."
"My answer is obviously no." Dai Zhiqiang replied firmly, without batting an eye. "If you have money to spare, you should save it yourself. You should learn to be more selfish and think about your needs first."
"But using it for you means using it for myself too, because if you are happy, then I\'ll feel happy too." Li Caiyi said dejectedly.
"That\'s now how it works. If you want to make me happy, you should put yourself above anything else. Even above me. For me, you are the most important thing."
Her heart thumped loudly, hearing his genuine feelings towards her. Li Caiyi could tell he didn\'t say that just to placate her, but that was what he sincerely felt.
For someone like her, who never became anyone\'s first priority, his words shook her to the core and slowly melted her from the inside.
\'He always knows what I feel deep inside my heart. How can I be so lucky to meet someone like this? Even when we first met, he is always like this.\'
Sting!
"Ugh!"
Li Caiyi groaned in pain when a stinging pain suddenly hit her head. It felt like her scalp was stabbed by needles. Not a very good sensation.
"Caiyi? Did you hurt your head too?" Dai Zhiqiang asked worriedly.
"No, this happens to me sometimes. It will go away if I let it be, so no need to worry." Li Caiyi waved her hand lightly, but Dai Zhiqiang was unconvinced.
