Chapter 284: Lost
Looking at the table full of dishes and the people who were celebrating his birthday, A Zhang couldn't help but smile.
He stood up with his glass in hand and toasted everyone present.
Seeing that his brother was about to finish the wine in one gulp, Yue Fuli immediately stopped him and said, "A Zhang, just give it as a token of your appreciation. You are still young and shouldn't drink too much of this wine."
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister." A Zhang nodded, then took a sip.
After A Zhang toasted everyone present, Yue Fuli invited everyone to start eating.
The meal lasted until very late, and Yue Fuli offered to help clear the dishes, but was rejected by Sanniang and Xiuwan. Seeing that Yue Fuli had drunk quite a bit of wine, they worried that she was drunk, so they asked her to go and rest.
Yue Fuli didn't hesitate either. He had indeed drunk a little too much today, so he prepared to go back to his room to take a nap.
Unexpectedly, she tripped over the threshold after taking a few steps and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, at the moment when she was about to fall, a pair of hands reached out and held her steadily.
Yue Fuli turned around and saw that the person supporting her was actually Lu Jingxing.
"Why are you still here? Why don't you go back to rest?" Yue Fuli smiled at Lu Jingxing, but she didn't know that her smile made Lu Jingxing's heart skip a beat.
He didn't know if it was because of the alcohol or his mood, but Lu Jingxing felt that Yue Fuli's smile was particularly alluring, making his heart beat faster as if it was about to jump out.
He stared at Yue Fuli blankly, with nothing in his eyes except her smile, so he didn't react for a long time.
Yue Fuli saw him staring at her, shook her head with amusement, then stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, saying, "You've returned to your spirit!"
Lu Jingxing came back to his senses and looked at the hand waving in front of him. He didn't know why he stretched out his hand and grabbed it.
Yue Fuli was stunned when her hand was suddenly grabbed. She stared at Lu Jingxing blankly, unable to react.
What's wrong with this guy? Is he angry because of what I just said?
But when I think about it, I didn’t seem to say anything, so why was he angry?
Lu Jingxing grabbed Yue Fuli's hand and held her gaze for a long moment until he heard footsteps. After realizing what he had done, Lu Jingxing quickly withdrew his hand and, as if being chased by a wolf, quickly left and headed back to the front yard.
Looking at the person who suddenly ran away, Yue Fuli shook her head speechlessly, then went back to the backyard.
She didn't take what happened just now to heart, but she didn't know that Lu Jingxing couldn't sleep the whole night because of it.
Lu Jingxing knew his own affairs clearly, and he felt that his heart might have been stolen. But he also understood that Yue Fuli had no idea what he was thinking.
After her brother's birthday, Yue Fuli was about to go out with Yue Yi and the others. Unexpectedly, Wu You's letter arrived at this time, telling her that Weng Boyuan had arrived in Nanchang Prefecture.
Yue Fuli had no choice but to postpone her plan to go out and go see Weng Boyuan first.
Because Lu Jingxing felt guilty and was afraid of being embarrassed when he met Yue Fuli, he decided to stay in the front yard for the time being.
Therefore, when eating the next day, he instructed A Zhang, "Fu Zhang, I won't be there for a while, you bring the meal over."
"Okay, Master." A Zhang nodded in agreement without thinking too much.
Lu Jingxing hid for two days before he found out that Yue Fuli had gone out. He felt relieved but also lost.
