Hidden Marriage

Chapter 139: Emptiness is Form, Form is Emptiness

“What is it?” Lu Tingxiao subconsciously braced himself .

“That strip of cloth that was covering my eyes… Could you help me put it on again?” Ning Xi asked in a low voice .

Astonishment flashed briefly across Lu Tingxiao’s face, “Why?”

Ning Xi helplessly said, “Out of sight, out of mind . ”

Even though Ning Xi’s words were very cryptic, Lu Tingxiao immediately understood and coughed lightly before picking up the lace fabric strip that had been thrown to the ground . He then gently covered her eyes with it and tied it around her head again .

The instant that Lu Tingxiao came closer, the fire inside Ning Xi unexpectedly flared up . She hurriedly chanted in her mind: “Emptiness is form, form is emptiness . ” It was only when he had backed away to a safe distance and her sight had been covered that the uproar inside her body slowly calmed down .

If it had been someone as disgusting and vulgar as Zhu Xiangcheng who had come, then it would have been fine . However, it just had to be Lu Tingxiao . She had been drugged with an aphrodisiac, and Lu Tingxiao was basically a catalyst who could increase the effect of the medicine infinitely, creating a reaction that could take a person’s life away .

“Is it okay now?” Lu Tingxiao asked .

Ning Xi nodded, “There’s one more thing I need to ask of you . I have no strength left in my body at all, could you help me get to the bathroom? I’ll be fine after I soak in a cold water bath . ”

“Wait for a bit, I’ll help you fill up the tub . ”

“Thank you . ”

The distinct sound of the water splashing in the bathroom rang distinctly in the quiet room .

Although she was as blind as before, this time, she felt a sense of ease and relief .

After some time, the sound of the water stopped and footsteps could be heard .

“Can you walk?” Lu Tingxiao asked .

“I think I can, just support me for a second . ”

Lu Tingxiao reached out his arms to support her and even thoughtfully maintained a distance between them, only his arms were in contact with her .

When her body was finally submerged in the icy water, Ning Xi gave a comfortable sigh, “Mmm…”

Lu Tingxiao’s expression tensed up, “I’m leaving first . If you need anything, just call me . Don’t soak for too long and be careful not to catch a cold . ”

“Okay . ”

Lu Tingxiao turned and left . The back of his figure conveyed his urgency and a sense of escaping from a difficult situation .

After leaving, Lu Tingxiao pulled open the room door, only to see a person crashing into the room because his support was gone .

Lu Jingli climbed up and dusted off his rear while trying to peek into the room . He coughed once before saying “Heh heh… I was only worried for you guys… only worried… I definitely wasn’t being a busybody…”

Lu Tingxiao looked as if he had already been expecting him to be hiding by the door . With a cold tone, he spoke up, “Go to the car and bring me the documents . ”

Lu Jingli gaped until his mouth formed an O shape, “Brother, are you sure? You can still look at documents in this kind of situation? Are you still a man!”

Lu Tingxiao’s eyes coldly swept over him, “Do I need to prove it to you?”

“No no no, no need! I’m going now! Immediately!” His brother would definitely prove it to him via a specially manly and violent beating .

After he brought the documents over, Lu Jingli heard the sound of the water from inside . He then sighed and bitterly said, “Why soak in a cold water bath! Why don’t you just offer yourself up as the antidote! What a waste! This is such a waste!”

Lu Tingxiao : “You can leave now . ”

“Actually, I don’t want to leave . Actually, I want to stay~ Stay and accompany you every season~~~” Lu Jingli sang while reluctantly disappearing .

After returning to the room, Lu Tingxiao tried hard to ignore the faint silhouette behind the frosted bathroom door and forced himself to concentrate on the document in his hands .

Hm, he was pretty efficient… In 30 minutes, he actually managed to finish reading two pages…

It was at this moment that Ning Xi anxiously shouted from the bathroom, “Lu Tingxiao——”
