The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 37 Fingers intertwined
In the darkness, Gu Yuexi's hand touched Lin Chen's hand, which was placed at his side.

Gu Yuexi's hand trembled slightly but didn't move, while Lin Chen's hand subconsciously pulled inward a little, clearly indicating that Lin Chen thought the collision was unintentional.

Gu Yuexi's face grew even hotter.

It's said that a man pursuing a woman is like climbing a mountain, while a woman pursuing a man is like piercing a thin veil. Although she had no experience with men and women, she knew that in such a confined space, taking the initiative to reach out might trigger a series of chain reactions.

But it was precisely this darkness that gave Gu Yuexi courage. If it were broad daylight, facing Lin Chen's gaze, she felt she might not have had the courage.

Since you've already reached out, then reach out to the very end!

Gu Yuexi gritted her teeth and reached out her hand again. This time, instead of cautiously approaching, she moved directly over and grabbed Lin Chen's hand.

Lin Chen seemed stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tried to pull his hand away. Gu Yuexi went all out and directly slipped her hand into Lin Chen's palm, her five fingers sliding between Lin Chen's fingers, and directly interlocking her fingers with his.

Lin Chen's hand stopped moving.

Gu Yuexi felt as if her whole body was on fire, but she still held Lin Chen's hand tightly and did not let go.

Lin Chen's breathing quickened, but he didn't move.

Gu Yuexi's tension subsided somewhat, but she still felt a little strange. Why was there no reaction?

She took the initiative to shake his hand; wasn't the meaning obvious?

Could it be that he's shy too?
Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem like the type to be shy in front of women.

On second thought, Gu Yuexi suddenly realized, "Oh right, he does have a fiancée, even if it's fake, it's still nominally like that, which is why he hasn't made a move."

Gu Yuexi decided to be a little bolder. Anyway... he had already watched it twice, so it wouldn't matter if they got a little more intimate now, right?

Gu Yuexi pulled Lin Chen's hand over, changed her position, then turned to the side, squeezed closer to Lin Chen, and rested her head on Lin Chen's arm.

In the darkness, Gu Yuexi saw Lin Chen turn his head and stare at her. She felt a little uneasy, so she closed her eyes, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and stayed still.

Lin Chen didn't pull his hand away, after all, it would be too hurtful, but he didn't make any further moves either. He just held Gu Yuexi loosely and closed his eyes.

Gu Yuexi waited anxiously for a long time, and when she found that Lin Chen hadn't pulled his arm back, she breathed a sigh of relief.

If Lin Chen firmly rejects her, she will be too ashamed to face anyone.

Although she didn't understand what Lin Chen was thinking, the way they were interacting at this moment completely satisfied Gu Yuexi's inner desires. If Lin Chen had responded strongly, she would have been the one at a loss.

That's fine!

Leaning against Lin Chen's chest, Gu Yuexi felt an unprecedented sense of security. Overwhelmed by the effects of the alcohol and drowsiness, she quickly fell asleep.

Gu Yuexi fell asleep, but Lin Chen suffered. He was already in the prime of his life, and the noise from the tent next to him was making him uncomfortable. Then Gu Yuexi launched a close-range attack. How could he not be uncomfortable?
Lin Chen stared at the top of the tent, enduring the long silence until he finally fell asleep.

Lin Chen was awakened by the movement in his arms. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Yuexi carefully propping herself up from his arms.

Eyes facing each other.

Gu Yuexi's face suddenly turned red. She sat up abruptly from Lin Chen's arms, using the act of brushing her disheveled hair to cover her panic.

"Good morning."

This somewhat abrupt question made Lin Chen, who was still a little dazed, burst into laughter.

He sat up and replied with a smile, "Good morning. I'm going out for a walk. You... get ready."

Gu Yuexi bit her lip: "Okay!"

Lin Chen opened the tent door and went outside. He strolled to the pool, splashed cold water on his face, and instantly became completely awake.

Lin Chen sat on a round stone by the pool and lit a cigarette.

Gu Yuexi took the initiative to hold his hand and lean into his arms last night, something Lin Chen hadn't expected.

What does she mean?
gratitude?

like?

Lin Chen shook his head, clearing his mind of the chaotic thoughts, and stopped thinking about it.

Let's just say it's a stress response after experiencing the terror of life and death. In such an environment, many of the behaviors people exhibit actually reflect their own special emotional needs. Once they change environments and their mood calms down, these feelings will subside.

This is like a man and a woman stranded on an island. No matter how beautiful or noble the woman is, or how poor or ordinary the man is, or how different their circumstances are, they can easily develop feelings for each other in such an extreme environment. But once they are rescued and return to the city, countless chasms will quickly separate them.

In this desolate wilderness, surrounded by wolves, she might feel like a god, but back in the city, she might feel that her skills are useless, and that he's just a poor guy who's not good enough for her.

The door to the next tent opened, and Lei Kun crawled out, stretched, and saw Lin Chen smoking by the pool. His eyes lit up, and he walked over.

"Brother Chen, up so early?"

Lin Chen glanced at Lei Kun with an unfriendly expression. It was this guy who caused trouble next to him last night, making it difficult for him to sleep for a long time!

"Kunzi, you've got a good physique..."
