Han Lingxi's idea was simple: since Luo Shaoxuan had arrived, she could just jump down, and he would definitely catch her. How romantic!

However, Han Lingxi forgot a serious problem: Luo Shaoxuan didn't know that she was Han Lingxi. And this was a very serious problem. Luo Shaoxuan had been taught to be polite and respectful since childhood. How could he possibly hug a strange woman? So Han Lingxi was in a tragic situation.

Han Lingxi jumped down from the wall. If she had landed directly on the ground, she would have been injured. However, men and women should not touch each other, so Luo Shaoxuan would not hug her as Han Lingxi thought. He simply grabbed Han Lingxi's arm through her sleeve to prevent her from falling too badly.

Even a fall that isn't too bad is still a fall. Han Lingxi twisted her ankle as soon as she landed, and the pain made her gasp.

After she landed, Luo Shaoxuan said "Excuse me" and then let go of her hand.

Han Lingxi's ankle was already hurting, and when Luo Shaoxuan let go, she sat down on the ground, twisting her ankle again. Han Lingxi was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears, and she felt like she might become a lame person.

When Luo Shaoxuan saw Han Lingxi fall, he instinctively wanted to reach out to help her, but then he remembered that he didn't know her background and it was against the rules, so he put his hand back.

Han Lingxi looked at Luo Shaoxuan with a resentful expression, feeling utterly wronged.

Why didn't you catch me?

"Men and women are different, why would a young lady be on the wall of the Luo residence?"

Luo Shaoxuan asked in a questioning tone, mainly because of Zhang Lingwan's example, which made him unable to have any good feelings towards a woman who inexplicably appeared in front of him.

How did you know I was a girl?

Han Lingxi's temper flared up. In fact, although Han Lingxi was dressed as a man, she was only dressed as a man. As long as she could pass muster in front of the officials, she wouldn't actually be mistaken for a man. So it was normal for Luo Shaoxuan to know that she was a woman. She just wanted to make things difficult for Luo Shaoxuan.

"I saw the girl's ear piercing when I was helping her up."

Luo Shaoxuan's explanation was somewhat far-fetched. In fact, one look at Han Lingxi was enough to tell that she was a woman, but Luo Shaoxuan couldn't say that.

"Since you know the difference between men and women, and that you should not look at what is improper, is it the behavior of a gentleman to look at a young woman like that?"

Han Lingxi adopted an aggressive demeanor. Although she was sitting on the ground and had to look up at Luo Shaoxuan, she felt that she couldn't keep up with his momentum. However, she could regain her momentum with her tone of voice.

"you……"

Luo Shaoxuan was speechless, not expecting Han Lingxi to be so quick-witted. Seeing Luo Shaoxuan's discomfiture, Han Lingxi beamed and her mood improved considerably.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me up."

Han Lingxi raised her hand for Luo Shaoxuan to help her up, but Luo Shaoxuan remained unmoved.

"Hey, do you even know what it means to cherish a beautiful woman? I traveled all this way back to find you, just in case I didn't explain things clearly before I left and you were worried. I was just being presumptuous."

Han Lingxi kept complaining, and Luo Shaoxuan was fine at first, but later he showed an expression of disbelief.

"Xi'er?"

Luo Shaoxuan cautiously probed, knowing in his heart that the person in front of him couldn't possibly be Han Lingxi, but her words confirmed that she was indeed Han Lingxi. Since ghosts and gods really exist, it's possible that the person in front of him is Han Lingxi, right?

"Who else could it be but me?"

Han Lingxi glared at Luo Shaoxuan with displeasure, while Luo Shaoxuan stared blankly at Han Lingxi, his hand trembling as he touched her face.
