Chapter 33: Xiaoxiao, I understand your matters of the heart!
Her eyes could not contain her sadness!
Just as Ye Chuxiao was about to cry, Lu Ziyi blew hard. The clear lake water churned, and tears, like pearls from a broken string, rolled down.
“I’m sorry!” Lu Ziyi said quickly. “Did I blow too hard? Did the eyelash come out?”
“I don’t think it’s out yet,” Ye Chuxiao’s voice was soft and sweet, as if tinged with grievance.
Lu Ziyi then turned to Zhang Jinxian and said, “Sorry, Senior Student Jin Xian, I’ll take Xiaoxiao out to help her with the eyelash in her eye.”
“Do you need the family doctor to help?”
“No need, I can take care of Xiaoxiao myself!”
“Alright then, let me know if you need anything.”
“Thank you, Senior Student Jin Xian.” Lu Ziyi put his arm around Ye Chuxiao’s slender waist and led her towards the hall entrance.
Lin Chusheng watched Lu Ziyi with his arm around Ye Chuxiao with some confusion until they walked out the door and out of his sight.
“Chusheng!” Tang Jie’er tugged on Lin Chusheng’s arm.
Lin Chusheng came back to his senses, smiled, and continued chatting with Tang Jie’er and Zhang Jinxian for a few more sentences.
In front of the magnificent villa, in the fountain, the water turned a shimmering golden color under the lights, leaping high and low, as if dancing joyfully.
The party was about to begin, and the guests were all in the hall. The area became quiet. No matter how joyful and beautiful the fountain’s dance was, it seemed lonely and deserted.
When they reached the fountain, Ye Chuxiao could no longer hold back, and tears streamed down her face.
Lu Ziyi tightened his grip on Ye Chuxiao’s waist and pulled her into his embrace.
Her sadness made Ye Chuxiao weak and listless. She did not refuse Lu Ziyi’s kindness, leaning against his strong chest and weeping uncontrollably.
Until reason suppressed her instinctive sorrow, Ye Chuxiao stopped crying. She said “I’m sorry” with great guilt and pulled away from Lu Ziyi’s embrace.
“It’s okay,” Lu Ziyi cupped Ye Chuxiao’s cold cheeks and wiped away her tears.
Ye Chuxiao became even more flustered. She said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I must look strange!”
Lu Ziyi, however, said, “I understand.”
Ye Chuxiao’s large eyes, now dewy from crying, looked at Lu Ziyi with confusion.
Lu Ziyi did not hide anything. He said gently, “When I was a sophomore and joined the Student Union, I worked with Chusheng. We knew each other well, but due to our different personalities, our interactions were not frequent, except for discussing official business and attending parties with mutual friends.”
“Actually, not long after you started school in your first year, I noticed you. You were often with Chusheng, and I also heard Chusheng mention that he had a little sister.”
“Chusheng is cheerful and outgoing, with many interests. He’s the kind of dazzling guy like sunshine, and many girls like to be around him.”
“Chusheng is very good to the girls who approach him. He’s good at handling relationships, neither cold nor ambiguous. Perhaps many girls are secretly sad and upset because of him, but that’s just how it is.”
Ye Chuxiao lowered her eyes, avoiding Lu Ziyi’s gaze, feeling embarrassed.
So, Senior Student Ziyi had already seen that she was also secretly in love with Brother Chusheng? Just like those girls who lingered around Brother Chusheng, unable to get what they wanted, yet unwilling to leave!
So, Senior Student Ziyi said he understood just now!
Ye Chuxiao, her heart exposed, felt very flustered and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Senior Student Ziyi! Actually, you already knew my name was Ye Chuxiao, right? That night, when I called you and said those things, I was harassing you!”
