Chapter 221 Sincerity is the Ultimate Move
"Alright!"
Lu Wenrou nodded and walked toward the bedside phone.
For one thing, she was a girl from The North—naturally straightforward and used to being careless. Moreover, as a special forces soldier accustomed to carrying out various missions with her teammates, sometimes, for the sake of camouflage, she even shared a bed with her male teammates, or crammed into a tent with them outdoors.
Therefore, her concept of gender differences was rather vague.
The premise was that she trusted this man.
If it had been someone with ulterior motives getting touchy-feely, they probably would've been beaten half to death by Lu Wenrou already.
However, after she took a few steps, she seemed to remember something, turned her head back, and asked Qin Yu, "By the way, what style of underwear do you need?"
"Uh..."
Qin Yu knew that Lu Wenrou's question was practical because she didn't know which style would be convenient for the massage.
To lighten the mood, he joked, "Just make sure the material isn't too thin and not too sexy. I'm a man, not a saint!"
"Don't you have a wife? Would you be interested in someone like me who's manly?"
Lu Wenrou was very clear-headed. She knew she wasn't gentle, her physique wasn't sexy, and with her fiery temper, many people called her "manly" behind her back.
"How could I be interested in you? It's not..."
Qin Yu scratched his head, feeling that he was digging himself deeper into a hole.
Sincerity is supposed to be a killer technique, but wasn't Lu Wenrou a bit too sincere?
Conversing like this with her could easily lead to a dead end....
"Alright, I was just joking. Look how nervous you are...."
Lu Wenrou waved her arm, walked to the bedside table, and dialed the hotel reception: "Hello, please send up a set of more substantial underwear!"
After hanging up the phone, Lu Wenrou sat down on the bed, blinked, and said, "Qin Yu, I want to ask you something!"
"Mm, go ahead!"
Qin Yu nodded.
"What exactly is love? Is it really like what they show on TV, making people go through life and death?"
Lu Wenrou looked genuinely curious.
Her tomboyish personality, coupled with a hint of violence, meant that ordinary men didn't catch her eye, and most men didn't dare to pursue her.
Thus, up to now, she had only tasted the sweetness of life, not the bitterness of love.
"Love, huh..."
Qin Yu scratched his head as the image of Yan Mingyu's unearthly beautiful face came to mind. His eyes softened as he spoke slowly, "This question, you know, our ancestors answered it a thousand years ago: 'What is love in this world that makes people willing to live and die for each other?'"
"Really?"
Lu Wenrou was somewhat skeptical. Thinking of all the men she knew, other than her hot-tempered father, there wasn't a single one for whom she would be willing to "live and die."
"Heh, you'll know if it's true or not when you meet the right man!"

Qin Yu said with a smile.
After chatting for a while longer, the server knocked on the door and delivered a brand-new set of underwear.
Lu Wenrou took it, examined it for a moment—indeed the fabric was thick and not sexy, resembling something a sixty-year-old woman might wear.
After changing into it in the bathroom, she donned a bathrobe and came out saying, "So, can we start now?"
"Yeah, lie down with the bathrobe lifted up, expose the leg that's injured!"
Qin Yu instructed.
"Okay!"
Lu Wenrou went to the side of the bed, lay down, and nonchalantly lifted her bathrobe, revealing her two round and long legs. But upon closer inspection, one could see various sized scars.
These were certainly left from her years in the military.
Aside from respect, Qin Yu had no other thoughts related to men and women. Besides, she was wearing a pair of boxer shorts, and had it not been for his reminder earlier, things would have gotten quite awkward.
"I'm going to start now!"
After saying this, Qin Yu took off his shoes, kneeled on the bed, and started massaging the strained leg of Lu Wenrou.
Her skin wasn't very smooth, and it was tanned.
Being a tomboy and not especially caring for skin maintenance was probably the reason for that.
However, the curvature of her thighs upwards was indeed pronounced, especially lying in this position—it resembled two small hills.
Not a bit inferior to those self-proclaimed peach-bottomed female streamers that grazed the internet.
Fortunately, Qin Yu's willpower was fairly strong, and he withdrew his gaze after a brief glance.
After massaging twice, he prepared for the last step, stretching her injured tendon.
"Change direction!"
Qin Yu said.
"Umm... it really does feel a lot better!"
Lu Wenrou turned over, looking blissfully content.
Beneath the loose bathrobe, the sleek lines of her abs were visible, a figure many women dream of possessing.
"Just one last shudder to go, this position might be a bit indecent, and it's going to hurt a lot!"
Qin Yu gave Lu Wenrou a heads-up.
"How indecent can it be? I'm wearing underwear!"
Lu Wenrou said nonchalantly.
"Alright then!"
Qin Yu grabbed Lu Wenrou's ankle, lifted it onto his shoulder, and then pressed down firmly with both hands.
"Damn... oh!"
Lu Wenrou's eyes went wide, the bittersweet sensation almost too much to bear even for a tomboy like her.
"Phew... alright, get off the bed and try walking!"
Qin Yu's mind was aflutter; thankfully it was the last step, or he might have had trouble continuing.
"Okay!"
Lu Wenrou got out of bed, moved her thighs around, and her face lit up with surprise: "Hey, it really doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Hehe..."
She even lifted her tight, long legs and performed a couple of high kicks.
"Qin Yu, you're incredible, if you opened a blind massage parlor, you'd surely have customers!"
Lu Wenrou gave Qin Yu a thumbs up.
"Heh, speaking of which, I'd have to gouge out my eyeballs first before opening a massage parlor!"
Qin Yu joked.
"I've heard that many masseuses in blind massage parlors are sighted people. As long as you can take a beating, you don't need to lose your eyeballs!"
Lu Wenrou blinked.
"Take a beating? I haven't practiced Iron Shirt kung fu!"
"No worries, I'll find you a master to teach you!"
"Forget it!"
After some more playful banter with Lu Wenrou, Qin Yu checked his phone and seeing that it was getting late, he said, "You rest up, I'm going to go install these three laser systems at the company!"
"Okay, and when Miao Xian'er arrives at the East Sea, give me a call, I want to meet her too!"
"Sure!"
Qin Yu nodded, picked up the black case, and left the room.
Upon returning to the company, he went straight to Yan Mingyu's office. The tools for installing the UV disinfection lamps that morning were still there. He opened the case and started the installation according to the manual.
When the power was connected, Qin Yu looked at Yan Mingyu seated behind her desk: "President Yan, pull out a hair for me, let's test how effective this system is!"
"Okay!"
Yan Mingyu followed her long, dark hair and plucked one out.
Qin Yu took it in his hand, gently bringing the hair strand close to the laser sensor.
Hiss hiss...
Almost instantly, several red beams shot out, vaporizing the hair in Qin Yu's hand.
"Not bad, not bad, quite impressive!"
Qin Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Now everything was ready, just waiting for Miao Xian'er to come.
