Chapter 108: Senior Student Ziyi, I Can’t Sleep
Lu Ziyi, however, felt no guilt about being accused, and his gaze towards Ye Chuxiao’s flushed cheeks grew even gentler.
“Xiaoxiao, I’ll be back soon.”
Lu Ziyi, holding the branches tied with red envelopes, walked towards Bai Yiming and Xiao Yunfei.
Under the host’s guidance, Lu Ziyi handed the red envelopes containing peanuts and sunflower seeds, symbolizing many children and blessings, to Bai Yiming and Xiao Yunfei.
“I wish Yiming and Yunfei eternal love and many children!” Lu Ziyi sincerely offered his blessings.
“Thank you, Ziyi!” Bai Yiming and Xiao Yunfei bowed together, expressing their gratitude to Lu Ziyi.
“Great! Wishing Yiming and Yunfei many children!” The guests in the courtyard cheered, sending their heartfelt blessings to the newlyweds.
At noon and in the evening, Ye Chuxiao, Lu Ziyi, Zhao Congrui, and Lin Houchun all stayed at the Bai Family’s home to enjoy the banquet.
Due to the hosts’ hospitality and the delicious food, Ye Chuxiao ate heartily all day.
“So full.” As Ye Chuxiao left the Bai Family’s home with the Lu Family group, she kept patting her stomach as if she were pregnant, making everyone laugh.
“Hahaha,” Zhao Congrui laughed heartily, “Xiaoxiao, if you can’t walk, let Ziyi carry you. He’s full of energy and has nowhere to put it!”
The group laughed even harder.
Lu Ziyi ignored the teasing and asked Xiaoxiao, “Shall I carry you back, Xiaoxiao?”
“No, no,” Ye Chuxiao said repeatedly, “I’ll walk a bit to digest.”
Ye Chuxiao felt a bit embarrassed, sensing that everyone’s laughter was a bit strange.
Lu Ziyi walked slowly behind Ye Chuxiao.
Meanwhile, Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun mingled with Uncle Lu’s disciples, chatting about town gossip.
It was past ten o’clock in the evening when they returned to the Lu Family’s home, and after washing up and getting ready for bed, it was late into the night.
However, the day’s experiences made Ye Chuxiao toss and turn in bed, unable to sleep.
Senior Student Ziyi’s image kept popping into her mind!
Perhaps it was because Brother Congrui had asked her to pretend to be Senior Student Ziyi’s girlfriend?
She wondered if her acting was good enough and if she had helped Senior Student Ziyi.
She felt like she hadn’t done anything. Brother Congrui had asked her to act intimately with Senior Student Ziyi, but she didn’t seem to have done much.
After tossing and turning in bed for who knows how long, unable to sleep, Ye Chuxiao sat up and frustratingly ran her hands through her hair.
She was the one with the excess energy; how would she fall asleep tonight?
In the moonlight filtering through the sheer curtains, Ye Chuxiao’s gaze fell upon the bookshelf.
She picked up her mobile phone from the bedside table and sent a WeChat message to Lu Ziyi: “Senior Student Ziyi, am I disturbing you? May I look at the books on your bookshelf?”
Soon, Lu Ziyi replied: “Xiaoxiao, reading so late? Can’t sleep? Do you want me to accompany you outside to cool off and chat?”
Ye Chuxiao recalled the first night she arrived at the Lu Family’s home, when she and Senior Student Ziyi sat on the green tile rooftop, watching the night view and chatting. She wanted to go to the rooftop again, but it was very late tonight, and it would disturb Senior Student Ziyi’s rest.
Ye Chuxiao sent another message: “It’s no trouble for Senior Student Ziyi. I’ll read for a while and then sleep. I promise not to mess up your books.”
Lu Ziyi: “It’s alright, then Xiaoxiao can read for a bit. It’s just that these books make one more energetic the more you read them. If Xiaoxiao can’t sleep, call me.”
Ye Chuxiao: “Okay, thank you, Senior Student Ziyi, goodnight!”
Ye Chuxiao turned on the light and walked towards the bookshelf. Only Senior Student Ziyi would become more energetic the more he read these books; I, an underachiever, would just fall asleep immediately.
