Chapter 94: Pounced On Upon Entering the Door
Senior Student Ziyi is truly pitiful, his sadness can only be buried deep in his heart!
An infinite wave of sympathy rose in Ye Chuxiao’s heart. At Brother Congrui’s reminder, she stayed close to Lu Ziyi’s side, her clear, bright eyes blinking as she looked at those teasing Lu Ziyi.
“Xiaoxiao, this is your first time attending this kind of folk wedding, right?” Lu Ziyi turned his head to look at Ye Chuxiao. Her closeness filled Lu Ziyi’s heart with deep affection, and the tenderness in his eyes spread uncontrollably.
Lu Ziyi thought Ye Chuxiao was staying close because she was curious and wanted to hear his explanation, just like the night before on the rooftop when she pestered him with many, many new things.
“Yes, I’ve never seen a wedding at home before! Does the bride wear a wedding dress, or a traditional dress? Uh…”
Ye Chuxiao regretted asking as soon as she finished. She was a girl, of course she cared most about what a girl looked like when getting married, but why would she bring up the bride now? Wasn’t that like twisting the knife in Senior Student Ziyi’s heart?
“Our brides here all get married in traditional attire.”
Lu Ziyi explained calmly to Ye Chuxiao, without showing any sadness. Ye Chuxiao had to admire Senior Student Ziyi’s strong inner fortitude!
As Ye Chuxiao was lost in thought, Lu Ziyi asked, “What about you, Xiaoxiao? When you get married, do you prefer to wear a wedding dress, or a big red dress with a phoenix coronet and cape?”
“I want to wear a red dress!” Ye Chuxiao answered quite seriously. She had seen wedding dresses so many times, and felt that traditional dresses were so interesting. She might not even know how to wear one, they looked quite complicated.
“Mm,” Lu Ziyi nodded slowly, looking at Ye Chuxiao and smiling. “I like traditional dresses too.”
So… they reached a consensus? Ye Chuxiao twirled the end of her hair with her slender index finger. Why did her conversation with Senior Student Ziyi feel so strange, as if she was being led astray! She was overthinking, overthinking, how could she imagine herself and Senior Student Ziyi getting married in big red wedding attire!
Lu Ziyi looked at the girl’s blushing face, his gaze even more tender than water.
The young people who had been teasing Lu Ziyi about going to snatch a bride realized they had spoken out of turn. The girl beside Ziyi must be his official girlfriend, right?
When had this cold, aloof man ever looked at Yunfei with such tenderness? Who had ever seen it? Who had ever heard Ziyi say he liked Yunfei? Who had ever heard it?
Amidst everyone’s confusion, the Lu Family group arrived at the Xiao Family’s front yard. Lu Ziyi’s family, among the Lu clan and even in the town, was the most prestigious. The Xiao Family members came out to greet them warmly.
“Please come in, please come in!” Xiao Yunfei’s grandfather and father quickly invited the distinguished guests into the main hall.
On the Lu Family’s side, Lu Xuanyu’s grandfather and grandmother entered first, followed by his uncle’s family, and then Lu Xuanyu and Leng Yanfei entered.
Those who had been in the main hall earlier saw Lu Ziyi and were even more enthusiastic than if they had seen the groom. With various emotions, they all called out, “Ziyi! Ziyi! You’re here!”
Lu Ziyi smiled slightly, appearing very gentle. He first walked towards the elder members of the family.
Ye Chuxiao followed them in. She remembered Brother Congrui’s instructions to stay close to Senior Student Ziyi all day.
However, Ye Chuxiao was not used to this kind of ancient house. The main hall had a threshold. She hurried forward without properly estimating its height. She didn’t lift her foot high enough, and her left instep caught on the threshold, causing her to stumble forward!
