Chapter 95: Falling Into His Chest
Ye Chuxiao cried out in surprise, thinking she was about to fall heavily behind the main hall door with a “thud” in front of everyone.
Lu Ziyi heard the sound, quickly turned, and strode forward, reaching out to catch Ye Chuxiao.
Ye Chuxiao didn’t fall to the ground in embarrassment, but it didn’t feel any better; her entire face was pressed into a strong, sturdy chest.
Lu Ziyi held Ye Chuxiao’s arms and helped her up, seeing her fair, tender pink little face wrinkled in surprise, which was quite amusing.
Ye Chuxiao hadn’t expected that leaning against Senior Student Ziyi’s chest usually felt warm and fiery, but upon bumping into it, she realized it was surprisingly hard, like a wall, making her nose tip still sting!
“What’s wrong, Xiaoxiao?” Lu Ziyi noticed something was off with Ye Chuxiao.
Ye Chuxiao sniffled, saying pitifully, “My nose stings, did I break it?”
Lu Ziyi quickly pinched Ye Chuxiao’s nose to check.
Ye Chuxiao became even more pitiful, “Senior Student Ziyi, be gentle, be gentle!”
Everyone in the main hall had noticed Ye Chuxiao’s sudden incident; they had all held their breath for her when she fell.
But seeing Lu Ziyi rush to catch her, with Ye Chuxiao falling into his arms, and Lu Ziyi now casually pinching the girl’s nose in front of everyone, no one could hold back, and with a series of “pfft pfft pfft,” everyone in the main hall burst into laughter!
It was so embarrassing to be laughed at by everyone; Ye Chuxiao’s delicate and beautiful little face turned bright red.
Lu Ziyi cupped Ye Chuxiao’s cheeks with his hands and comforted her, “It’s okay, your nose is fine, you didn’t fall. It was my carelessness; I didn’t notice the high threshold. I should have helped you in; it’s my fault!”
Senior Student Ziyi, please don’t blame yourself; even a three-year-old child doesn’t need help entering the house!
Under everyone’s gaze, and hearing the laughter filling the hall, Ye Chuxiao wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
On the host’s side, a cousin of Xiao Yunfei’s came over and apologized, “I’m sorry, you’re not from our side, are you? I forgot to remind you, there’s a threshold at the entrance.”
“It was my own carelessness.” Ye Chuxiao was very honest; Lu Ziyi’s family house also had a threshold. It was true that she had only been here for two days and wasn’t used to lifting her feet high to enter.
“Xiaoxiao, are you alright?” Leng Yanfei also came over to ask.
“I’m fine.” Ye Chuxiao felt very apologetic; her commotion had become too big.
Lu Ziyi, worried that Ye Chuxiao might have another mishap, took her hand and led her to meet the elders in the main hall.
Low conversations arose in the main hall, everyone was discussing—
“Is this girl Ziyi’s girlfriend?”
“I heard her name is Xiaoxiao!”
“Ziyi brought Xiaoxiao back to his hometown to meet the elders; she must be Ziyi’s girlfriend!”
“Ziyi brought his girlfriend back, and it just so happens to be Yunfei and Yi Ming’s wedding!”
“Does Xiaoxiao know that Ziyi used to like Yunfei?”
“Hush, that was all in the past. Yunfei is marrying Yi Ming today, and Ziyi has a girlfriend now, so let’s not talk about it!”
…
But everyone was very curious about how such a complicated relationship would progress, and whispers continued unabated.
Some of Lu Ziyi’s close friends, who were more outgoing, came forward to tease, “Ziyi, you brought your girlfriend back!”
Because Ye Chuxiao was by his side, Lu Ziyi was worried about Xiaoxiao’s reaction, and his mood became somewhat tense. If Xiaoxiao denied it, it would prove she wasn’t interested in him, right?
