Chapter 107: Senior Student Ziyi, When Will You Change Your Bad Habits?
Bai Yiming and Xiao Yunfei had important rituals to complete, so they bid farewell to Ye Chuxiao and were about to leave.
At this moment, Zhao Congrui frantically searched through the crowd and finally spotted Ye Chuxiao.
Seeing Ye Chuxiao standing with the groom and this… bride, Zhao Congrui was startled.
They wouldn’t dare cause trouble for Xiaoxiao while Ziyi was away, would they?
He had even boasted that he would take care of Xiaoxiao for Ziyi!
He was chatting so happily with the other guests that he completely forgot about Xiaoxiao!
There were so many people in the courtyard. By the time Zhao Congrui realized Xiaoxiao was missing, he panicked and searched everywhere.
If Xiaoxiao were to get so much as a scratch, Ziyi would kill him!
Bai Yiming and Xiao Yunfei exchanged a glance with Zhao Congrui and departed.
Zhao Congrui quickly asked, “Xiaoxiao, the bride didn’t give you any trouble, did she?”
“No,” Ye Chuxiao replied casually, “Older Sister Yunfei is a kind person, we had a great chat!”
One could only hope… Zhao Congrui didn’t have time to ask for details.
He only heard the gongs and drums growing more intense, and the exclamations of the crowd shaking the ground.
Ye Chuxiao and Zhao Congrui looked up. Above the human ladder in the center of the action, a red lion and a black lion had formed, a scene of dual lions vying for the prize!
“Xiaoxiao, let’s go inside!” Zhao Congrui pulled Ye Chuxiao, squeezing into the crowd to return to their original spot.
Regardless of whether Ziyi won or lost, he was about to come down. If Ziyi knew he had lost Xiaoxiao, he would be utterly humiliated in front of Lu Ziyi!
Ye Chuxiao wanted to see what was happening, but Zhao Congrui forcefully pulled her into the throng.
“Roar!” The guests let out earth-shattering roars, and the sound of gongs and drums gradually softened, transitioning into a joyful melody.
“The Lu Family Ink Lion Team won again!”
Did Ziyi and his team win? Ye Chuxiao, being pulled by Zhao Congrui, finally managed to squeeze her way inside.
She looked up and saw the majestic black lion head leap from the highest point of the human ladder, then plunge down from a height of three to four meters!
“Ah—” Ye Chuxiao cried out in surprise, a black shadow filling her vision.
Before she could even process what was happening, a man stood directly in front of her.
The imposing black lion head was lowered, and the man with a tall, straight posture, his handsome face breaking into a smile, his deep eyes radiating a bright and dazzling brilliance.
“Xiaoxiao, we won!” Lu Ziyi walked over to Ye Chuxiao’s side.
Among the crowd, his gaze and heart were solely on her; his joy, he only wished to share with her.
Ye Chuxiao’s tightly held heart finally relaxed. She gazed at Lu Ziyi, smiling with delight.
He was always so handsome! The way he looked when engrossed in drawing, the way he looked when passionately playing the violin, the way he looked when performing the lion dance to snatch the prize – he was always so handsome!
“Ziyi, you’re going the wrong way!” someone in the courtyard called out.
“Ziyi, bring the prize over here!”
“Haha, wait until you and Xiaoxiao get married, then give the prize to Xiaoxiao!”
“What are you shouting about? Can’t you wait until Ziyi kisses Xiaoxiao before you shout!”
“Hahaha!”
…
With a playful complaint, everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Lu Ziyi remained unfazed, his gaze still fixed solely on Ye Chuxiao.
At that moment, Ye Chuxiao’s heart inexplicably tensed. Would he really kiss her?
Lu Ziyi placed the lion head on the ground. He reached out a strong, steady hand, and Ye Chuxiao instinctively stiffened.
As expected, his hand, as if nothing else existed, gently pinched her tender pink cheek.
Her little face still had some baby fat, soft and smooth, so nice to pinch!
It didn’t hurt; rather, it felt affectionate. Yet, Ye Chuxiao silently protested, Senior Student Ziyi, when will you ever change your bad habit of pinching my cheeks!
