Chapter 295 Escort

Looking at the inseparable young couple in front of him, Bai Ye felt little emotion, only a bit annoyed.

Just now in the study room, the relationship between the two of them became ambiguous due to the cryptic questions asked by the senior student.

At this moment, while escorting his senior home, he unexpectedly encountered this couple openly showing affection, which truly displeased him.

Following the gaze of his senior, Bai Ye inadvertently caught a glimpse of envy in Su Zhimeng's eyes, as well as the subtle movements of her glancing at his palm from time to time.

Could it be... that the senior hopes to hold hands with him and walk together? This thought flashed through Bai Ye's mind, making him secretly speculate.

However, despite this, Bai Ye knew that he must not easily take his senior's hand at this moment.

After all, such a move could very likely cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Under normal circumstances, how could people of the opposite sex hold hands casually if they weren't in a romantic relationship? Does that mean everyone is as close as a mother and son or siblings? Obviously not.

Especially after his intimate encounter with Xia Qingyue, Bai Ye was determined to keep a certain distance from other women.

He didn't want to impulsively cause trouble or engage in flirtatious behavior, thus bringing more problems upon himself.

Moreover, around noon today, Xia Qingyue had already noticed that he still carried the faint scent of another woman.

If he were to accidentally get involved in another emotional entanglement with his senior this time, it would be hard to guarantee that Xia Qingyue wouldn't suspect something amiss when he got home.

Thinking of this, Bai Ye became even more determined in her mind—she could not hold her senior's hand no matter what.

Therefore, Bai Ye had to deal with the current situation with great care.

At this moment, he had no other choice but to ignore his senior's burning gaze and pretend he knew nothing.

After all, in such situations, playing dumb is often a very practical strategy.

Su Zhimeng gently bit her pearly white teeth, her mind a jumbled mess. Completely absorbed by Bai Ye, she didn't even notice the slightly protruding brick beneath her feet.

Caught off guard, she tripped over the inconspicuous brick and instantly lost her balance.

As her center of gravity suddenly shifted forward, Su Zhimeng involuntarily closed her eyes tightly. The scene of excruciating pain as she was about to make intimate contact with the hard ground involuntarily flashed through her mind, filling her heart with fear and unease.

However, the expected pain did not come. Instead, she felt as if she had fallen into an incredibly warm and solid embrace.

It turned out that at this critical moment, Bai Ye displayed astonishing reaction speed. He quickly reached out his hands and steadily supported Su Zhimeng's back, then turned around with lightning speed to face Su Zhimeng directly.

Immediately afterwards, he skillfully guided Su Zhimeng into his broad embrace, successfully preventing her from colliding with the ground.

Bai Ye gently embraced Su Zhimeng's slender waist, and a faint fragrance immediately entered his nostrils.

The captivating fragrance made Bai Ye somewhat mesmerized and unable to resist.

He even felt a faint milky fragrance emanating from the senior in his arms. Holding her was like embracing the most precious treasure in the world; the comfortable and pleasant feeling was simply indescribable.

Feeling the soft body of his senior sister in his arms, Bai Ye gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, senior sister, it's all over now."

His gentle words were like a spring breeze, softly brushing past Su Zhimeng's ears, gradually relaxing her tense heartstrings.

Her eyelids, as light as butterfly wings, slowly opened, like a sleeping flower quietly awakening.

As her vision gradually cleared, the first thing she saw was Bai Ye's deep and concerned eyes.

Their eyes met in mid-air, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.

Su Zhimeng felt a jolt of electricity instantly spread throughout her body, and a faint blush unconsciously rose on her fair, snow-white face, like a magnificent sunset.

Su Zhimeng subconsciously tried to sit up, but as she moved her legs, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her calves.

She gasped softly, her brows furrowing tightly, clearly having twisted her ankle.

Bai Ye took in all of this, and a feeling of pity welled up in his heart.

He quickly asked, "Senior, did you sprain your ankle? Is it serious?" His voice was as gentle as a spring breeze.

Su Zhimeng bit her lip and nodded, replying softly, "Mmm...it hurts a little."

Despite her efforts to appear strong, her slightly trembling voice betrayed the pain she was enduring.

Seeing this, Bai Ye adjusted his posture without hesitation.

He turned around, then slowly squatted down, his broad back facing Su Zhimeng, and said softly, "Senior, lean on my back, I'll carry you."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhimeng's face turned even redder.

She felt like a heavy burden at that moment, causing this kind junior too much unnecessary trouble.

However, the waves of excruciating pain made it impossible for her to walk normally. Helpless, she could only gently reach out and wrap her arms around Bai Ye's neck.

Bai Ye felt Su Zhimeng's gentle touch, carefully stood up, and steadily carried her on his back.

Su Zhimeng's body was very light, and Bai Ye could hardly feel its weight, but her uneasy heart was always hanging in suspense.

After a while, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Junior, am I too heavy?" Her words were full of worry and apology.

Bai Ye's eyes widened, and she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Senior! You're underestimating me! With your light weight, even carrying ten more like you would be a piece of cake for me! Absolutely no problem!"

Faced with Bai Ye's almost outrageous words, Su Zhimeng was neither angry nor rebuttal. She simply stood there quietly, her gentle gaze falling softly on Bai Ye's profile.

Their eyes were filled with endless tenderness and affection, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.

Sunlight shone on Su Zhimeng, outlining a beautiful golden edge, making her look like a fairy descended to earth.
