Chapter 147: Ye Chuxiao, Confess, Don’t Be a Coward!
“Excuse me, Senior Student Ziyi!” Bai Qianqian, Xu Luoxi, and An Xiazhi showed their teeth and smiled sheepishly.
She then suggested, “Senior Student Ziyi, why don’t you and Xiaoxiao find a quiet, dimly lit place where no one can see you, and have a heart-to-heart talk!”
Bai Qianqian and the others were distressed. It was five against five, and everyone else was playing a game, while Senior Student Ziyi was playing ‘protect the wife’!
The pressure was immense!
Lu Ziyi, however, was not bothered by this at all. Nothing was more enjoyable than being alone with Xiaoxiao.
Ye Chuxiao had little interest in playing games. If Bai Qianqian and the others hadn’t asked her to fill a spot, she wouldn’t have wanted to play.
Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao withdrew, and Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun gleefully started their attacks.
The five of them were having a blast and didn’t notice Lu Ziyi leaving with Ye Chuxiao.
Entering the elevator lobby, Ye Chuxiao asked, “Are we going for a walk?”
Lu Ziyi, however, pressed the upward button: “Mm, I’m more interested in taking you to see the rooftop.”
Ever since she became an assistant in the design studio, Ye Chuxiao had also gone up to the rooftop with Lu Ziyi, Zhao Congrui, and Lin Houchun to cool off.
The three guys would bring a few bottles of beer and some peanuts, and they could talk about their grand future.
Ye Chuxiao really liked this relaxed and happy atmosphere. Senior Student Ziyi and the others were all positive and upward-looking individuals, striving hard for their dreams, which filled her with hope for the future as well.
However, what Lu Ziyi said at this moment made Ye Chuxiao recall a time in Lu Ziyi’s hometown when Senior Student Ziyi took her up to the rooftop with green tiles to watch the full moon night view.
They sat shoulder to shoulder on the green tiles, feeling the cool evening breeze blowing from the bamboo forest, softly murmuring words to each other. She even leaned on Senior Student Ziyi’s shoulder, nestled in his arms, and peacefully fell asleep.
What a beautiful memory that was!
The elevator slowly ascended. The walls and ceiling of the elevator were covered in mirrors, but Ye Chuxiao lowered her head slightly, not daring to look at Lu Ziyi.
Perhaps, tonight, she could confess to Senior Student Ziyi?
She was an experienced person, after all. Once, at the instigation of Bai Qianqian and the others, she had shouted into the telephone, “Senior Student Ziyi, I like you!”
It wasn’t that difficult, was it?
Even though this time it was face-to-face with Senior Student Ziyi, she told herself, “Don’t be a coward, Ye Chuxiao!”
Don’t be a coward!
With certain thoughts in mind, Ye Chuxiao became shy, her heart beating uncontrollably fast. On this summer night, her body felt warm, and her cheeks inexplicably flushed.
Stepping out of the elevator and climbing one more flight of stairs, they reached the rooftop.
The building was tall, and the evening breeze flowed freely, playfully lifting Ye Chuxiao’s hair and the hem of her skirt.
Taking a deep breath, she felt a sense of coolness, mixed with the fragrance of potted flowers that some people had planted on the rooftop.
Ye Chuxiao’s mood became light, and her steps became lighter.
Lu Ziyi walked slowly, while Ye Chuxiao, with a smile, circled around him, taking in the night view of the surroundings.
To the north was their school, to the east was a residential area, to the south was the commercial district, and to the west was a wide road, with cars coming and going extending along the neat streetlights.
The city lights at night had a captivating brilliance, and Ye Chuxiao sighed softly, “It’s so beautiful!”
“Yes, it’s beautiful!” Lu Ziyi’s gaze, however, was fixed on Ye Chuxiao.
The city’s twinkling lights reflected on the girl, outlining her graceful figure. She smiled, her beautiful face so serene.
The entire night was reflected in her bright, lively eyes, sparkling brilliantly, and he, too, was captivated…
