Chapter 297: Cheating
Finally, Bai Ye carefully took Su Zhimeng's soft little hand and escorted her home step by step.
After that passionate and romantic farewell kiss in the park, the blush on Su Zhimeng's cheeks never faded, like the magnificent sunset on the horizon, extending all the way to her doorstep.
Despite Su Zhimeng's firm refusal to go to the hospital, Bai Ye still harbored concerns.
He knew that if he let her stubbornly stand up and walk, she might fall again. After all, he wasn't a superhuman with three heads and six arms, able to see and hear everything, and couldn't possibly detect danger in time every time.
So, to ensure Su Zhimeng's safety, Bai Ye offered to hold her hand and walk with her. Upon hearing this suggestion, Su Zhimeng instantly wore a dazed and adorable expression, seemingly still caught up in the atmosphere from before.
However, Bai Ye didn't give her much time to react and decisively took her slender hand.
Just as Bai Ye had predicted, although Su Zhimeng was able to stand and walk with difficulty, each step she took was somewhat unsteady, and her limping appearance evoked pity.
In fact, Bai Ye was no stranger to this kind of sprained ankle, because he himself had encountered similar situations many times.
Generally speaking, the pain is indeed unbearable when you are first injured, but after a night of rest and recuperation, you can usually recover to about 70-80%.
Based on this experience, Bai Ye believed that Su Zhimeng's injuries this time should not be too serious.
And so, Bai Ye held Su Zhimeng's hand tightly and accompanied her all the way to her front door.
When Bai Ye saw Su Zhimeng slowly walk into the house and wave goodbye with a smile, he turned around with relief and left with light steps.
...
Su Zhimeng gently closed the door, her beautiful face still bearing the lingering blush of a peach blossom in spring.
At this moment, she lowered her head, her gaze shyly falling on her toes, as if those tiny toes held endless secrets, captivating her completely.
Just then, a figure suddenly appeared before her eyes like lightning.
It turned out to be her younger sister, Mu Wanqing. Her eyes widened, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg in it, her face filled with astonishment: "Sister, what's going on?"
Su Zhimeng was startled by her sister's sudden appearance, her heart pounding like a frightened deer.
It took her a while to recover from the shock, but she still stammered, "Qing...Qing, how did you suddenly appear in front of me?"
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes in annoyance, put her hands on her hips, and said with a slightly dissatisfied tone:
"Sister, I called you for ages, my voice is almost hoarse, but you didn't react at all, like a wooden doll. I had no choice but to come closer to talk to you, but it still took a lot of effort for you to notice me."
Hearing her sister's complaint, Su Zhimeng seemed a little uncertain. She hesitated for a moment, then responded tentatively:
"Ah... really? Maybe I was just lost in thought..."
Seeing this, Mu Wanqing's eyes darted around, and a sly smile appeared on her lips as she deliberately teased her sister:
"Hey sis, you're not in love, are you? Your face is as red as a ripe apple."
From the moment she saw her sister walk through the door, she noticed that her sister's face was flushed, which was very unusual.
And so, in an instant, countless possibilities flashed through her mind.
When her younger sister saw through her thoughts, Su Zhimeng felt extremely embarrassed, and her cheeks turned bright red.
She quickly denied it, saying, "No way! Don't talk nonsense!"
However, her flustered eyes and shy demeanor had already revealed her true thoughts.
After all, although the relationship between myself and my junior is somewhat ambiguous, it is not even close to being established yet!
Seeing this, Mu Wanqing curled her lips slightly and said with a suspicious look, "Based on your reaction, do you think I would believe you?"
Then, she rolled her eyes and continued to press, "Sis, tell me, why is your face so red?"
Upon hearing this, Su Zhimeng was taken aback. After a brief pause, she quickly explained, "Oh dear, it's a bit cold outside, and the wind is quite strong. That's why my face turned red!"
However, her tone of voice was noticeably unnatural.
Mu Wanqing clearly didn't believe this explanation. Without saying a word, she walked straight to the door, pushed it open, and peeked out.
The sun was shining brightly, and the warm rays fell on the ground, making it feel slightly hot.
Mu Wanqing reached out to feel the temperature outside the door again, then turned around and came back.
At this moment, she crossed her arms and stared at her older sister with a half-smile, as if waiting to see what kind of excuse she could come up with next.
Meanwhile, Su Zhimeng on the other side appeared increasingly uneasy. She subconsciously put her hands behind her back, and her eyes darted around, filled with panic.
Just then, Mu Wanqing's bright little eyes suddenly darted around, and then she asked with a grin, "Sister, could that boy who took you home just now be my future brother-in-law?"
These words struck Su Zhimeng like a thunderclap, causing her to catch her breath and a flurry of thoughts to race through her mind.
Did my sister really see her junior walk her home?
If that's really the case, what should we do...? Thinking of this, Su Zhimeng hurriedly denied it:
"He's just my junior from school, not some brother-in-law as you're saying. Please don't make wild guesses or misunderstand!"
A knowing glint flashed in Mu Wanqing's eyes; she hadn't seen anyone bring her sister back!
However, a subtle hint of understanding flashed in Mu Wanqing's bright eyes, as if she had already discovered a secret. In fact, she hadn't actually witnessed who brought her sister back.
He had only tricked his sister, but she ended up revealing her relationship with that guy without him even asking.
It's actually a relationship between an older woman and a younger man!
