Chapter 76: Xiaoxiao’s Childhood
Lu Ziyi felt the strength in his palm and gripped Ye Chuxiao’s hand tighter, ready to protect her at all times.
Senior Student Ziyi’s hands were strong and warm. Looking at his broad shoulders and athletic build from behind, Ye Chuxiao’s heart inexplicably began to pound.
The evening breeze at dawn blew gently from the bamboo forest in the distance, and Lu Ziyi sat with Ye Chuxiao on the high rooftop.
With the gentle breeze surrounding her, Ye Chuxiao’s flushed face finally felt more comfortable.
The view was expansive, showing the general appearance of the town. Each household was an enclosed building. It was late at night, and it was quiet, with only the corridor lights guarding the peaceful families of Xiangning.
The full moon in the night sky cast a soft glow, as if gently embracing this spiritual place, unchanging through the ages.
“It’s so beautiful here!” Ye Chuxiao murmured.
In the bustling city, people who spin like tops every day might never see such a peaceful and beautiful scene, nor experience this sense of emptiness and peace that merges with nature.
“It’s been like this since I was a child,” Lu Ziyi said softly. “My father said it was like this when he was a child too. The outside world is developing rapidly, but our clan members love this place. Although we are inevitably influenced by modern technology, we want to protect it and keep it for a little longer, and a little longer!”
Ye Chuxiao could feel the people of this land’s deep affection for it. People with such feelings must be very loyal and righteous!
Ye Chuxiao smiled faintly and asked, “Senior Student Ziyi, do you have memories of being here when you were little? It must be very amusing to live here!”
“It is very amusing!” Lu Ziyi’s handsome face softened, and his deep voice even rose slightly. “Because my parents were very busy. My mother was often on set, and when my father had to travel for work, he would send me to my grandparents. I never went to kindergarten. Before I started primary school, I spent a lot of time living here. The games I played with other children, perhaps Xiaoxiao has never seen them!”
“Senior Student Ziyi, I want to hear!” Ye Chuxiao was enthusiastic because her father had important work in France, and her parents lived in France, where she was also born.
Ye Chuxiao didn’t know what other families were like. She felt her own social circle was very small. Her father seemed very cautious, carefully protecting her mother, older sister, and herself.
The people she interacted with most since childhood were her family and Brother Chusheng’s family. She felt like a delicate little flower, being strictly guarded, as if her father wished he could filter even the sunlight shining on her!
Until Brother Chusheng returned to Y City to attend university in order to adapt to the domestic environment for his future work back in China, and two years later, she would also be going to university. She told her parents she wanted to study at Brother Chusheng’s university, and unexpectedly, her father agreed without hesitation!
Ye Chuxiao was very surprised. How could her father, who had always protected her so strictly, so readily agree to her returning to China? Moreover, he didn’t send any bodyguards with her.
She lived in the dormitory like an ordinary girl, and no one knew her true identity. She felt that her Ye Family was considered a prominent family in Y City.
However, Ye Chuxiao really liked this free and easy life. She was full of novelty for everything, and even the air felt like it carried the scent of freedom.
