Ellen stiffened. He had been quite okay in the bathtub because the water had become murky due to the soap and also covered in rose petals, deterring him from seeing anything promiscuous no matter how embarrassed he was. But now everything was suddenly plain to see! Ellen's face blushed furiously as he clung tighter onto Lu Yizhou's body, feeling so exposed and vulnerable in a way that he wouldn't allow himself to feel before.
Back then, Lu Yizhou had asked him — "Do you trust me?" with such a gentle, bewitching tone like the whisper of a devil. And to his utter bafflement and indignation, Ellen did trust this man. With Lu Yizhou, he felt nothing but peace and serenity. It was like… he could finally have someone whom he could trust his back to, someone who would not betray him for anything.
