On the high platform, the girl in the evening dress accidentally twisted her ankle as she passed Ji Yuzhi and ran straight into his arms.
Amidst gasps of surprise, Ji Yuzhi shifted his body to the side, causing the girl to slip and fall to the ground, brushing against him.
The crowd erupted in gasps, much louder than the previous one, and discussions arose everywhere.
The girl was probably stunned by the fall and didn't recover for a while. It was the girls around her who helped her up.
The principal glanced at Ji Yuzhi, whose face remained expressionless, and sighed. This kid was clearly doing it on purpose.
The awards ceremony is still ongoing.
Zhen Tian's heart sank to the ground as the girl fell.
"Thank goodness, thank goodness." She patted her chest, seemingly relieved about something.
The mere thought of the girl possibly falling into Zhizhi's arms made her feel terrible.
Ye Qingyan watched her little gestures and smiled for the first time in many days. But then, as if remembering something, the smile vanished in an instant.
After the awards ceremony, the group of girls surrounded Ji Yuzhi, demanding an explanation from him.
"That's so ungentlemanly! Xiaolei fell like this because of it." The first girl, who was standing up for her, pointed to the fallen girl's legs, which were bruised and bloody.
"Teacher, you be the judge. Shouldn't he apologize to Xiaolei?"
A group of people surrounded Ji Yuzhi, chattering amongst themselves, and wouldn't let him leave.
The girl named Xiaolei shook her head: "No need, no need. It's not Ji Yuzhi's fault that I fell. Please don't make things difficult for him."
She glanced at Ji Yuzhi, her eyes still filled with shyness.
Ji Yuzhi was already impatient. If the principal hadn't been holding him back, he would have turned around and left after the girl fell. What did he care about an awards ceremony?
Seeing his indifferent expression, the principal nudged his arm: "You've gone too far. What's wrong with helping him up? Say something!"
The first and second-year high school students had already been evacuated in an orderly manner. Zhen Tian followed her class back, but her heart and eyes seemed to be fixed on the high platform.
Ye Qingyan nudged her: "If you're worried, go check on them. I'll cover for you with the teacher."
Zhen Tian nodded and left the group without the slightest hesitation.
She thought she had done something undetected, but her homeroom teacher, Yang Tian, had already noticed it. The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed, and his expression became strange.
Lu Yiran watched the commotion from the sidelines, and when Ji Yuzhi looked over, he even gave him a malicious smile.
Ji Yuzhi spoke coldly.
"When a person is walking due to inertia, the lower body will accelerate when the foot slips, but the upper body will remain in the original position due to inertia. Therefore, the upper body will slide forward due to inertia and the body will lean backward."
He was like an emotionless machine.
"Do I really need to explain this basic physics to you? If you don't understand, I can explain it to you using gravity and acceleration..."
Ji Yuzhi used at least five methods from the perspectives of kinematics and dynamics, including gravity, gravitational acceleration, mass, friction, drag, air density, and fluidity, to explain the girl's fall.
"Zhizhi..." Zhen Tian jogged up the platform and squeezed into the crowd, panting.
"In conclusion..." Ji Yuzhi said, then seemed to hear a familiar voice, so he stopped and turned his head to look for it.
He didn't notice at all that the girl's face had gone from blushing to turning ashen.
"Just...just..." Zhen Tian tried to squeeze in several times but couldn't, and she jumped up and down in frustration.
However, the crowd moved with Ji Yuzhi, who accurately located her and rescued Zhen Tian from the crowd. Lu Yiran, on the other hand, had no idea where Zhen Tian had come from.
This kind of nonsensical telepathy, or rather, sensitivity, is also the reason why these older brothers and uncles both dislike and value Ji Yuzhi.
After all, only Ji Yuzhi could truly care about his little sister, and the level of importance he placed on her was comparable to, or even surpassed, that of the others.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Yuzhi escorted Zhen Tian into the crowd and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"I saw you being bullied." As soon as Zhen Tian came in, she accurately located the girl who had fallen. It wasn't that she saw that the girl was injured, but rather a feeling.
“Running around aimlessly.” Ji Yuzhi ruffled her hair and continued what he hadn’t finished saying: “I’ve made myself clear enough. No matter what the situation, you can’t possibly fall in front of me at a certain angle. As for why you would fall on me, you know better than anyone else.”
Ji Yuzhi showed no mercy to the girl: "You want me to apologize? Do you think you deserve it?"
He hadn't originally intended to be so harsh; he would have just explained things clearly and let it go. But since this matter had alarmed Tian Tian and even caused her worry, the meaning was completely different.
"Heh..." Lu Yiran laughed blatantly. He admired Ji Yuzhi's clear-headedness.
"Does the principal have any more questions?" Ji Yuzhi looked at the principal as if he were an idiot.
The principal wasn't truly stupid. The moment Ji Yuzhi offered his first explanation, he understood that the female student had done it on purpose. Why? Having been principal for so many years, and having dealt with countless cases of puppy love, how could he not know?
"That's all." He had to indulge these two big shots.
"I knew it! She tried to attract men's attention but ended up embarrassing herself instead." While some friends supported her, others disliked her. Being beautiful naturally attracts jealousy, let alone being so blatant in trying to get their hands on their idol.
"Exactly, she thinks she's as beautiful as an angel and everyone would fall at her feet. She's been reading too many novels."
Mocking voices came from all directions.
The girl bit her lip tightly, her cheeks burning from the stares of those around her, but she couldn't move.
Ji Yuzhi put his arm around Zhen Tian and prepared to leave, but Zhen Tian shook off his arm and ran up to the girl, saying, "You're annoying."
She left a few words, glared at the girl fiercely, and then returned to Ji Yuzhi's side.
The girl's eyes were filled with hatred. After all, she had never been so humiliated before.
Just as Ji Yuzhi and the others were leaving, the crowd began to discuss it again.
"Who is that girl being held in Ji Yuzhi's arms? Could she be the real one?"
"Whether they're relatives or not, it's unrealistic to hug and kiss in front of the principal."
"Impossible. Didn't you see the look in Ji Yuzhi's eyes? It was definitely the look he gave his beloved girl."
Ji Yuzhi and Lu Yiran stood on either side of Zhen Tian, flanking her in the middle.
Zhen Tian remained silent the whole way, but she suddenly stopped.
Ji Yuzhi looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Zhen Tian turned around and pounced on him, hugging him from head to toe.
