Chapter 82: Why Did You Keep This From Me?
The more this matter was explained, the darker it became, and the darker it became, the harder it was to explain!
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun pushed Ye Chuxiao, who was frozen in place, towards Lu Ziyi and said, “Ziyi, we’ve been out for quite a while. Take Xiaoxiao home for breakfast. Don’t let Xiaoxiao get hungry.”
Lu Ziyi was dejected. He tightly gripped Ye Chuxiao’s right wrist and said, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go home.”
Lu Ziyi pulled Ye Chuxiao and walked back, with Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun quickly following.
The remaining group of friends looked at each other. They saw how nervous Ziyi was about that young girl. Did he just say, “Xiaoxiao, let’s go home”? So Ziyi wasn’t here to snatch the bride? Was he bringing his girlfriend home to meet his family?
How did this coincide with Yunfei and Yi Ming’s wedding?
Is Ziyi okay?
As their friends watched, Lu Ziyi pulled Ye Chuxiao and walked forward with his head down.
Lu Ziyi was worried that Xiaoxiao would have a bad impression of him, and he was anxious, so his steps were quick.
Ye Chuxiao felt that the wrist held by Senior Student Ziyi was very painful. She had to jog to keep up with him.
Ye Chuxiao wanted to break free from his hand; it really hurt! But Lu Ziyi thought she wanted to avoid him, so he held on even tighter.
Ye Chuxiao was thus swiftly dragged home by Lu Ziyi.
In the dining room, bowls and chopsticks were already set on the large round table.
Seeing her son lead Ye Chuxiao in, Leng Yanfei called out, “Ziyi, Xiaoxiao, it’s time for breakfast! Congrui, Houchun, come and sit down too.”
Lu Ziyi’s Uncle had apprentices. They practiced martial arts in the courtyard in the early morning and then helped catch Lu Ziyi and Ye Chuxiao when they fell from the rooftop.
That was not over yet. The rest of the family, including Lu Ziyi’s Grandfather and Grandmother, would also have breakfast later with Uncle.
Leng Yanfei was worried that Ye Chuxiao, Zhao Congrui, and Lin Houchun might not be used to the local breakfast time after coming from Y City, so she cooked breakfast at the small building to entertain her guests.
Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun thanked Aunt Leng and then took their seats, their expressions still holding a trace of bewildered strangeness.
Only then did Lu Ziyi release Ye Chuxiao’s hand.
Lu Xuanyu, sitting at the table, noticed his son holding the young girl’s hand early in the morning. However, he didn’t say anything. He secretly observed Ye Chuxiao. Father Lu remembered the important task his wife had assigned him last night: to read Xiaoxiao’s facial features.
Everyone was seated, but Lu Ziyi remained very dejected.
Leng Yanfei served porridge to everyone, and finally, it was Lu Ziyi’s turn.
Oh my, this kid is putting on a long face for whom this early in the morning? Didn’t he already hold the young girl’s hand? We saw you climbing over walls and walking on rooftops with the young girl last night, and then falling from the rooftop together this morning!
“What’s wrong, Ziyi?” Leng Yanfei inquired.
Lu Ziyi paused, but then he spoke, “Mom, why did you hide Yunfei’s wedding from me? Did you misunderstand something?”
Xiaoxiao had heard about this matter from his friends in town. Rather than hiding it and causing Xiaoxiao to misunderstand further, it was better to explain it clearly in front of Xiaoxiao!
Leng Yanfei and Lu Xuanyu were both experienced people. Seeing the strange behavior of these young people upon returning home, they guessed what had happened to them on their outing.
Yunfei and Yi Ming’s wedding was something the entire town knew about; it couldn’t be hidden.
Leng Yanfei tentatively asked, “Ziyi, are you… sad?”
“I’m not sad!” Lu Ziyi declared firmly. “I just want to know what you misunderstood that made you hide it from me!”
