Chapter 41 Let Me Go
Lin Yihuan fell into his arms. Gazing into his obsidian-like eyes, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart. A blush crept onto her face, and she turned her eyes away, saying softly, "You, you put me down..."
Lu Xingche raised an eyebrow and said in a deep voice, "Okay, but you have to promise to continue tutoring me, otherwise I don't mind carrying you back directly." As he spoke, he tightened his grip on her slender waist, making it impossible for her to break free.
Lin Yihuan pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then nodded, agreeing to it for now and saying they'd talk about the future later.
"Okay, now you can let me go."
Lu Xingche raised an eyebrow and gently put her down. Lin Yihuan turned around, took Su Xiaonuo's hand, and went back to the classroom.
The two girls were busy all afternoon, which Lu Xingche found very strange. Not only was Lin Yihuan strange, but Su Xiaonuo, who was always chattering, was also strange. One was busy explaining the questions, and the other was listening attentively. Apart from class time, the two girls spent the rest of the afternoon with Su Xiaonuo.
Lu Xingche crossed his legs, leisurely watching Lin Yihuan explaining a problem on the blackboard. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. Lu Xingche reorganized the events of the past two days: picking up Yihuan, tricking her into coming home for tutoring and cooking, taking Yihuan home, not answering the phone, and then going to the hospital!
Lu Xingche suddenly raised his head, his expression very serious. Could it be that the little girl in the hospital was her?!
Lu Xingche slapped his thigh – Oh no! Xiao Yihuan must have misunderstood!
He hurriedly ran to Lin Yihuan's side and said pitifully, "Class monitor, I didn't mean to not answer your calls, look..." Lu Xingche took off his school uniform.
Lin Yihuan was startled and took a few steps back, staring at him with her almond-shaped eyes and saying softly, "What, what are you doing?!"
Seeing this, Duan Jiahe walked over, reached out and covered Su Xiaonuo's eyes, whispering in her ear, "Xiaonuo, let's not watch, it's not suitable for children..."
Lu Xingche unbuttoned two buttons on his shirt, and Lin Yihuan could clearly see that his entire skin was covered in bruises. She pursed her lips and frowned slightly, wondering how he had gotten this done.
Lu Xingche said in a childish voice with a wronged expression, "I accidentally fell on the way back. Look, it's all red. That's why I didn't answer your call. Please don't be angry, okay..."
Lin Yihuan bit her lip, her nose stinging slightly, and she felt a little worried. How could a simple fall have resulted in such a serious injury?
"Are you alright..." Lin Yihuan couldn't help but ask after much deliberation. She knew it was wrong, but she couldn't control her heart. Lin Yihuan bit her lip. Just this once, just this once.
Lu Xingche noticed something was off about her voice and panicked. He quickly replied, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, look," and patted his chest forcefully as he spoke.
Lin Yihuan was terrified by his action and quickly stopped him, saying, "Stop filming! I know you're okay. Please stop filming. Doesn't it hurt?" Her voice choked up at the end.
Lu Xingche smiled, gently patted Lin Yihuan's head, bent down slightly, and said very gently, "So you're not angry now, are you?"
Lin Yihuan shook her head and said sullenly, "I'm not angry..." She wasn't angry at him, but angry at herself for not being braver.
Lu Xingche slowly and gracefully buttoned up his shirt. Lin Yihuan's eyes lit up as she looked at Lu Xingche, who was like a refined gentleman, and her heart was pounding like a deer...
