The Rise of the White Lotus 546 I won’t hurt you

Ethan Lu didn’t leave immediately as the reluctance of leaving Churu with Morris Liu held him back from going. Still, since the night was getting deeper and Lexi had already headed home with the twins, Ethan Lu also had to go home. 

Before leaving, he tugged Churu’s conscience repeatedly. “Chacha, you promised?”

“Hmm,”

“I trust you, okay? You’ll keep your word, right?” Ethan Lu asserted, making sure she remembered that he would be upset if Morris Liu had another scare. 

“Don’t worry, I will disappear when he wakes up.” Although Churu was slightly annoyed at him for tugging her almost nonexistent conscience, she still nodded and reassured him. 

“Alright…” Letting out another deep exhale, Ethan Lu shifted his gaze from the small dumpling to Morris Liu’s peaceful profile. “I’ll be back tomorrow morning — you promised!” He asserted again which made Churu’s under eye twitched, nearly causing her to throw a huge fit for hearing the same words over and over again. 

“Just go! Lexi is waiting for chu!” Churu frowned as she reminded him that he needed to go home. 

“Right…” Sighing once again, Ethan Lu pinched the bridge of his nose as he decided to leave. He glanced at the two — Morris Liu and Churu — lying on the bed as he left. 

When he was in front of the door, Ethan Lu looked back once again and opened his mouth. However, before his words could break out from his mouth, Churu spoke. 

“Yes, yes! I won’t give him a fright anymore! I promised!” Churu rolled her eyes as Ethan Lu was acting as if a concerned, overthinking father of Morris Liu. Well, she couldn’t blame him though because Morris Liu nearly died upon laying his eyes on her small cute figure. 

After saying her remarks, Churu saw him stared at them for a good ten seconds before he finally left. Churu was never relieved being away from her host. 

However, this time she was. Ethan Lu was just too persistent to the point that it was super annoying. 

“I wouldn’t really scare him… I just want to know if what I think is correct.” Churu sighed before turning her body to her side and stared at Morris Liu’s side profile. 

Her thoughts glinted in her eyes as she pursed her lips together. No one knew what thoughts circled around her mind, but certainly, they were all vague and unanswered query she sought for answers.

Churu couldn’t really rest after Ethan Lu left as Chris Yu lingered around for a bit. Although he was merely inside the room, never saying a word, Churu was annoyed at his presence. 

She didn’t know why, but maybe it was because she felt that anyone could see her now. Well, she’s at her dumpling form still so, she truly mind being seen in this cute yet embarrassing form of a delicacy. 

With that, although Churu felt a little awkward, she flew and lied on his chest. She listened to his now stabilized heartbeat and closed her eyes. 

For some reason, Churu felt that the slightest pain in her chest eventually subsided as some kind of energy circled around them. 

“I still don’t understand…” Churu murmured as she let her body succumbed to the brewing energy, linking her to him. 

The faint energy soon glowed in a misty white, her body also glowed that made Churu’s body relaxed. She remained slumped over him and the light within her gradually brightened. 

After some time, just before Churu transformed, her eyes slowly opened as she felt her body floating even without her command. Alas, there was no room for her to think because the next second, she felt her arms and feet growing. 

She witnessed them as it took their shaped, akin to a human hand. Her eyes caught her hair growing in an unimaginable pace and the next thing she knew, she had taken to a human form. 

With her position earlier, Churu’s found her bared body on top of the patient Morris Liu. At the same time, his eyelids flickered before it slowly opened. 

Churu was in the middle of processing what just happened while gluing her gaze on Morris Liu’s blinking eyes. “No way…” she whispered as a realization struck her really hard. 

Meanwhile, when Morris Liu set his distraught gaze to the beautiful pair of silver eyes that were akin to the glow of the full moon, he was momentarily drawn. 

Although the room was dim, this distance between their faces made it easy for him to engrave her godly beauty in his mind. However, as they stared at each other, Morris Liu realized that he didn’t know her. 

“Who—!” His heart experienced anomaly again upon his realization. 

“No,” Instead of a high-pitched minion voice, Churu’s voice was rather mellow, soothing to one’s ear. When she saw him took his defenses up, Churu placed her ear on his chest, where his heart located. 

“It’s fine, I won’t hurt you…” She whispered as Churu reduced the remaining spaced between them, completely laying her naked body on top of him. “It’s okay, it’s okay…” She coaxed repeatedly. 

For some reason, his heart calmed down, returning to its normal pace. Not just that, but also, Morris Liu felt that he was being healed when she rested her head on his chest. 

“I won’t hurt you,” Churu continued and as if her words were magic, Morris Liu slowly fell back to sleep. 

Churu remained in her position for quite some time until she was certain that Morris Liu was back to sleep. Slowly, she retracted her head away from his and stared down at his now normal complexion. 

“Yael, what are you doing this time?” Although Churu had more or less confirmed her query, there were still things that were left as a mystery. Hence, since Yael might be hearing her, she asked despite knowing she wouldn’t get any answer.
