"But why did you run towards the edge of the rooftop just now?" Jiang Yi didn't dare let go, afraid that she would run over again and do something foolish. "Your face changed so suddenly, it scared me to death. What if you jumped? Wouldn't I become the scapegoat? Wouldn't your brother blame me for killing you? If you want to die, don't die in front of me."

"Can't I shout?" Mo Xi was so angry that she jumped up and down. If he hadn't held her in his arms, she would have definitely hit him. She was even a little touched. It turned out that it wasn't what she thought. "You are such a selfish person. You are afraid of getting yourself involved in everything you do. You are not a man."

“Shouting won’t work either.” Jiang Yi released his arms from around Mo Xi’s waist, spun her around, and then gripped her shoulders, speaking seriously. “Don’t you know how terrifying your expression was just now? You rushed towards the edge of the rooftop and shouted; what if you accidentally fell?”

Now, even if she says he's selfish, I'll accept it.

Although he didn't like this wild girl, he didn't want to see her jump off a building and die in front of him.

"Isn't it your fault? Who told you to bring up that pervert?" Moxi rolled her eyes.

"Okay, I promise you, I will never mention that pervert again."

After he finished speaking, he looked at her quietly.

Moxi felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, looked up at the sky and sighed, then looked down and brushed his hand away.

"Uh, you haven't said anything yet?" Seeing that she was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"What stance are you taking?" Mo Xi looked at the red marks around his arm where he had gripped her so hard, and was so angry she wanted to kick him. "I think you're pretty much the same as that pervert, neither of you are good people. Let me tell you, don't try to take advantage of me, let go!"

"You're overthinking it. I'm not grabbing your hand to take advantage of you, I'm just making sure you explain yourself before I leave." Jiang Yi still wouldn't let go of her, afraid that if he loosened his grip, she would start spreading rumors about him everywhere. "I'm asking you to make a statement not because I'm interested in you, but because I want you to clear my name. There's nothing between me and Lan Yin. Don't go around telling people that I'm Lan Yin's boyfriend whom she stole through improper means."

"Isn't that right?" Mersey actually moved his foot.

Little did they know that Jiang Yi reacted even faster, turning his body to the side.

She swerved to the side, lost her balance, and fell to the side.

“Merxi”.

Jiang Yi was startled. Ignoring the possibility that she might pull him down, he reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling her back.

With too much force, they both fell to the ground with a loud thud.

However, it was Jiang Yi who screamed in agony.

He was pinned down by Murthy like a meat pie.

After calling out to him, she checked to make sure that Mersey, who was lying on her, was alright. "Are you okay? Did you hurt yourself in the fall?"

Mersey wasn't as fierce as before.

She was even a little touched and pouted. "I'm fine, it's just that your bones hurt. You...you...did you hurt your head? The ground is really hard."

"I'm not doing well," he groaned, but he could tell that the wild girl's tone had softened considerably, and that she cared about him. He couldn't help but want to push his luck again. "If you could tell me that you will never mention the past again, the pain will lessen a little."

"You dare to do it but not admit it!" Mo Xi's expression changed instantly. She punched him hard in the chest and gripped his shirt tightly. "You care so much about the past, are you feeling guilty?"

He groaned in pain. "Let go, pull me up!"

"I won't let go!" She grabbed his clothes and pushed him to the ground a few times. "Jiang, I'm going to tell everyone that you're that wicked woman Lan Yin's prey. Li Chunxiang said in public that you and that vixen are getting along very well. During the time you were in tutoring classes, you were alone together in a room every day. Who would believe that you two are innocent?"

"Then you still dare to ask me to tutor you?"

“This wasn’t my idea,” Mersey scoffed.

"Okay," Jiang Yi said, emphasizing each word. "Just don't regret it."

"Who knows who might regret it?" Mo Xi stood up, smiled, and strode away.

Jiang Yi tried several times before he could stand up. He had just fallen quite hard, and with Mo Xi pinning him down, his body felt like it was about to fall apart.

"Moxi, come and eat!" Jiang's mother looked at her meaningfully, thinking to herself that it would be good if this girl could become her daughter-in-law. She liked Moxi's frankness and honesty, and that she was not pretentious at all, which was completely different from those women who revolved around her son.

"Where is Jiang Yi? Where did he go?" Su Ming looked around.

“Grandpa, Uncle Jiang was just on the rooftop hugging Auntie and wouldn’t let go,” Dou Dou said. “Auntie must have left Uncle Jiang on the rooftop. Go to the rooftop and see Uncle Jiang; he’s definitely crying.”

Dou Dou didn't sit next to Jiang Ma; he sat next to his maternal grandmother, which is why he was able to speak all at once.

If it weren't for that, Jiang's mother would have already reached out and covered his little mouth.

Everyone at the table froze.

Everyone wore a complex expression.

Besides embarrassment, Jiang's father also looked delighted. If things were really as Dou Dou said, he couldn't be happier than that. It was much better than his son constantly pestering Xiao Nuan to save face.

Jiang's mother remained silent and smiled throughout.

Xiao Moran's face turned pale then red, then pale again. He was furious that Jiang Yi was such a scoundrel, daring to lay a hand on Moxi. If Jiang Yi was sincere, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he was afraid that Jiang Yi was just playing with Moxi's feelings. In the end, it would be his sister who would suffer. So, he clenched and unclenched his fists repeatedly.
