Chapter 683 Redemption in the Rainy Night: Fate Decides
click, click, click—

The footsteps stopped abruptly in front of her.

Xu Qin was horrified to find that the raindrops falling on her had suddenly disappeared, replaced by a warm shadow. Her trembling gaze first fell upon a pair of shiny black leather shoes, their reflections shimmering in the rain.

"Xu Qin?"

The call was like heavenly music, carrying a reassuring warmth. Xu Qin shuddered and slowly raised her head. Her gaze followed the crisp trousers upwards, past the hem of the dark trench coat fluttering in the wind, and finally met a pair of deep eyes.

A tall, imposing man held a long-handled black umbrella, its canopy tilted slightly forward, shielding him from all the wind and rain. The streetlights cast a soft glow on his sharply defined profile, while the fine raindrops created a hazy, golden mist around him. The impeccably tailored suit, partially hidden beneath his trench coat, accentuated his exceptionally straight shoulders.

For a moment, Xu Qin thought she was seeing a prince from a fairy tale. She opened her mouth, her voice barely audible: "I...I am Xu Qin." Rain streamed down her pale cheeks, indistinguishable between rain and tears.

Gao Dongxu leaned forward slightly, and the umbrella tilted accordingly, completely enveloping her in the dry and warm space.

Gao Dongxu squatted down and carefully examined Xu Qin's appearance. She had a standard oval face with a smooth and natural jawline. Although her cheekbones were slightly prominent, her soft tissue was full, combining softness and three-dimensionality—a quintessential Qingyi (a type of female role in Peking Opera) face.

At this moment, her face was as white as a freshly wiped porcelain bowl, her hair was damp with water droplets, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with terror, and her eyes were slightly upturned, possessing both classical charm and allure. Her willow-leaf eyebrows were relaxed, and although her face was full of terror, her aloofness and coldness were still very obvious.

Her nose bridge was high and straight, exuding a heroic air; the tip of her nose was rounded, softening her sharp features; her petal-shaped lips were moist and full; and the corners of her mouth naturally drooped, giving her an inherently pitiful and delicate appearance.

Her fair skin was as translucent as a peeled egg. Even with rain-soaked skin, her features remained clear and defined, her complexion so fair it seemed to reflect light.

Her arms crossed accentuated her slender collarbones and impressive cleavage, highlighting her femininity and sexiness.

Unlike the skinny, paper-thin type, Bai Youshou has a bit of flesh on her arms, with a perfect balance of bone and flesh, giving her a strong, individualistic, and rounded figure. Her legs are long and slender, giving her a commanding presence.

Gao Dongxu took out his ID card, opened it, and handed it to her. He then took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and said, "This is my ID card..."

The light allowed Xu Qin to clearly see Gao Dongxu's appearance. He was very handsome and manly. Looking at the contents of the certificate, she finally relaxed completely. As her mind relaxed, she felt a wave of dizziness.

Gao Dongxu put away his phone and ID, stretched out his hand, and revealed an exquisite wristwatch on his sleeve, which gleamed with a subtle metallic luster in the rainy night.

"Can you stand up?" His voice was gentler than before.

"Did you come to save me?" Xu Qin asked Gao Dongxu in a trembling voice.

"Yes."

As soon as Gao Dongxu finished speaking, Xu Qin threw herself into his arms and burst into tears.

It seemed she was really frightened. Xu Qin clutched his clothes tightly and cried for a while. Gao Dongxu took the opportunity to hug her, gently stroking her hair and back, and softly comforting her.

"Alright, it's alright now. You're safe. Don't worry, I've got everything covered..."

As the crying subsided, Xu Qin still clung tightly to the clothes in Gao Dongxu's arms, pressed close to his embrace, feeling warmth and security while sobbing softly.

Gao Dongxu, somewhat helplessly, awkwardly took off his trench coat and draped it over Xu Qin's shoulders, then said to her, "You hold the umbrella—"

As she put on the trench coat and felt its warmth, and smelled the sandalwood scent, Xu Qin's mind calmed down a bit. She curled up in his arms, her small, slender, pale hand gripping the umbrella tightly.

Gao Dongxu scooped up her long, slender legs with one hand and supported her back with the other, lifting her up in a princess carry. Her dangling ankles, like white jade, emitted a faint, cold light in the dark night. Her soaked jeans were taut, outlining an extremely alluring silhouette.

"Once we're out of the alley, no matter what you see or hear, don't make a sound. If you see other people, don't stare at them, understand?"

As they were about to leave the alley, Gao Dongxu looked at Xu Qin's pale face in his arms with a serious expression and whispered some instructions.

Xu Qin, who had just felt warm and safe, tensed up again when she saw Gao Dongxu's expression and instructions. Her delicate body became tense, her beautiful eyes flashed with pitiful fear, she bit her red lips tightly, nodded repeatedly, and then buried her head in Gao Dongxu's arms.

Looking at Xu Qin trembling in his arms, feeling the trembling of her delicate body and her fullness, he smiled almost imperceptibly and stepped out of the dark alley.

Despite her fear, Xu Qin couldn't resist her curiosity when she noticed the light and secretly turned her head to look at her surroundings.

On the deserted street, not a soul was in sight. A bright and sophisticated lighting store stood in stark contrast to the dilapidated and eerie residential buildings around it.

The lighting inside the store was intermittent, and the air was filled with an indescribable atmosphere that gave people a feeling of both warmth and unease.

As Gao Dongxu carried Xu Qin past the lighting store, he glanced inside through the glass door and made eye contact with the store owner. Gao Dongxu gave a playful smile.

Passing the lighting store, they entered a narrow alley leading directly to the lighting apartment building behind it. The streetlights in the alley were all broken, and the shops along the street were all closed. A light rain was falling, and the surroundings were silent except for the sound of Gao Dongxu's firm footsteps. Xu Qin curled up in Gao Dongxu's arms, her hands tightly gripping his clothes, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, looking at everything around her with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

"arrive--"

Hearing Gao Dongxu's whisper, Xu Qin looked up at the apartment building in front of her that was brightly lit.

The floor is large and flat, without any unnecessary decorations, giving it an eerie sense of order, as if it were coded.

A few rooms were lit with dim, yellowish lights, but many houses were completely dark.

Gao Dongxu looked at Xu Qin in his arms and said softly, "It will be safe soon..."

Xu Qin was startled. She wasn't a brainless naive girl, so she could naturally deduce a lot from Gao Dongxu's simple words.

Gao Dongxu carried her up the stairs to the third floor, to room 303. He gently put Xu Qin down, took out his key, and opened the door.

The room was pitch black. Gao Dongxu walked in and turned on the light, instantly making the room bright and cozy.

The apartment is nicely decorated, with blue walls, a clean white bed, sofa, air conditioner, and desk... Small but perfectly formed.

Gao Dongxu bent down again, picked up Xu Qin, whose pretty face was slightly flushed, went into the room, closed the door, locked it, and then carried her to the bedside and put her on the bed.

"It's safe now. I'll go run you some water so you can take a hot bath, otherwise you'll catch a cold and get a fever. We can't stay here too long..." As he spoke, Gao Dongxu took off his suit jacket.

He then took off his white shirt under Xu Qin's blushing embarrassment, revealing his upper body with perfectly sexy muscle lines, just like a Spartan warrior.

“There are no clean clothes here, and your clothes are all soaked. You can make do with this shirt.” Gao Dongxu handed the shirt to Xu Qin.

With a blush on her pretty face, Xu Qin lowered her head and gently bit her red lips as she took the shirt with trembling hands, saying in a trembling voice, "Th-thank you."

"I'll run you a bath—" Gao Dongxu smiled slightly and walked into the bathroom.

Listening to the sound of water running in the bathroom, Xu Qin blushed as she looked at the spotless white shirt in her hand, feeling a surge of warmth and emotion. However, the next moment, Song Yan, with whom she had a romantic entanglement in high school, came to mind.

"If only it were you..."

Soon, Gao Dongxu finished rinsing the tub and came out to say to Xu Qin, who was sitting on the bed in a daze, "The tub is ready, go wash up."

"Ah? Um, thank you, Mr. Gao, could you tell me where this place is?" Xu Qin was taken aback for a moment, then blushed slightly and asked softly.

"Go change your wet clothes and take a shower first. I'll tell you everything when you come out... Do you need me to carry you inside?" Gao Dongxu said, stepping forward to help her.

"No, no need... I can do it myself, thank you." Xu Qin blushed and hurriedly waved her hand. She got off the bed, but as soon as her pale little feet touched the ground, she winced and pulled back in pain.

"You hurt your foot?" Gao Dongxu hurriedly stepped forward, squatted down, and reached out to grab Xu Qin's fair and delicate ankle, which she was trying to shyly avoid. He looked at the several wounds on her snow-white sole, then looked up at Xu Qin, who was blushing and extremely shy, and said.

"Let me carry you inside—"

Without waiting for Xu Qin's response, he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom, placing her on the edge of the bathtub. He said softly, "I'm going out now, you can take a shower—"

After saying that, Gao Dongxu walked out of the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Xu Qin's heart raced, her pretty face flushed crimson, and she bit her red lips shyly. Looking at the locked door, she hesitated for a long time before finally giving up the idea of ​​locking it from the inside. She felt that locking the door would disappoint Gao Dongxu, her savior, and make him distrust her.

She is not completely out of danger yet and still needs Gao Dongxu's protection. If she causes him displeasure because of a little trickery, then it would be a loss.

Her only support right now is Gao Dongxu, and she must show him complete trust.

Thinking of this, Xu Qin stopped hesitating and struggled to stand up, hung up Gao Dongxu's white shirt, and began to nervously look at the door, taking off her already soaked clothes.

Outside the bathroom, Gao Dongxu took out five large pieces of Dove chocolate and a bag of Oreos from his spatial storage. After hesitating for a moment, he replaced the ordinary mineral water with "marriage water".

Whether it's shameless or despicable, it only adds to his goodwill. Whether he can win her over depends on his own ability. He can't let someone else benefit from his indifference, especially someone like Xu Qin with her special constitution. He would never agree to that.
