At this moment, Wu Weian was completely immersed in the ice water, and in order to prevent himself from sinking, he desperately grabbed the ice.
Those hands, like works of art, had red knuckles from the cold, giving them a sense of tragic beauty.
His hair was loose and wet from the icy water, sticking to his cheeks and turning his lips purple from the cold.
Although Wu Weian has an ordinary appearance, he is not ugly. Instead, he has a scholarly and gentle air.
Coupled with his fair skin, he actually looked somewhat pitiful in such a scene.
But Xuezhu, who was beside Ji Yunxi and giving her directions, couldn't help but start to tremble.
After thinking about it, he simply slipped away quietly.
Ji Yunxi: “?”
On the other side, Wu Er, who had been freed, lay on the edge of the pond, trying hard to reach out and grab Wu Weian.
Ji Yunxi then asked Wanxiang to help.
Wanxiang lightly stepped onto the ice, grabbed Wu Weian and put him aside.
Then he quietly retreated to Ji Yunxi's side.
Wu Weian lay on the ground, coughing up several mouthfuls of water, and curled up.
Ji Yunxi couldn't bear it, so she walked over, half-knelt beside him, and asked, "Are you okay?"
Wu Weian was shivering, seemingly too cold to speak.
Even the look in his eyes when he looked at her was filled with ice: "Miss San, Miss San, I'm fine."
Ji Yunxi apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I'm late."
She said to Wu Er, "Second Young Master, take your brother and go with Baofu to change clothes first. Leave this here to me."
Wu Er thanked him and helped Wu Weian away.
Ji Yunxi clapped her hands and stood up.
Wei Fan wasn't afraid. He just stood aside and watched, sighing, "Third Miss, if Brother Ming Shuang saw you like this, I'm afraid he would be sad again. I've always been good friends with Brother Ming Shuang, and I treat you as my own sister. Seeing you like this, I'm also angry."
Ji Yunxi frowned slightly: "From what you said, you are very familiar with my seventh brother?"
Wei Fan: "That's natural."
Ji Yunxi looked at him: "My seventh brother still lets you bully others?"
Wei Fan laughed it off, "How could it be bullying? We just saw that the young master of the Wu family accidentally fell into the water and wanted to help him out."
The second-generation rich who followed him laughed and said, "That's right, Brother Wei, how come in today's world, good deeds go unrewarded and instead you're wrongly accused?"
Ji Yunxi nodded, not getting angry, and turned her head to whisper a few words to Wanxiang.
Then everyone saw that the next moment, Wei Fan and his group were thrown into the pond by Ji Yunxi's maid who was highly skilled in martial arts.
It just happened to be where the eldest son of the Wu family stayed.
There were several plops, and the excavated ground was crowded with people, and a pool of dumplings fell.
Wei Fan was stunned for a few seconds. He never expected Ji Yunxi to do this.
He thrashed about, furious, and yelled, "Ji Yunxi, are you sick?"
Ji Yunxi stood there and waited for a moment before she spoke in her elegant voice, without any inflection or rhythm: "Hey, isn't that Master Wei? How did you fall into the water? Wanxiang, hurry up, go and help pull them out."
Wanxiang was standing in front of Wei Fan's servants. After hearing Ji Yunxi speak, she walked back to her master.
But the servants were frightened for a moment and still did not dare to move.
Wei Fan felt that he could no longer hold on and was about to sink to the bottom of the pond.
His teeth were chattering: "Are you all dead? Pull me up quickly!"
The servants were awakened from their dreams and scrambled to get the dumplings.
Ji Yunxi stood by and spoke slowly, "My seventh brother is a righteous man. When others speak to him, he will always reply politely. Some people think that my seventh brother and I are brothers, and use my seventh brother's name to do some sneaky things outside. It's really ridiculous. I will tell my seventh brother about this matter today when he comes back. I hope Master Wei will take care of himself."
After saying this, she left.
The young men and women who were quietly enjoying themselves behind her looked at her from behind and talked about her secretly.
"Although I don't like Ji San, what she said is quite right. You know, so-and-so went to say hello to Qilang not long ago, and Qilang replied out of courtesy. Then she came back and said that Qilang must like her! It's really ridiculous!
"So, if that's the case, since the Seventh Young Master picked up my handkerchief and returned it to me last year, doesn't that mean he's going to marry me in the future?"
"Maybe some people just don't have any self-awareness."
“…”
-
Wu Weian and Wu Er both changed into clean clothes and got on the Ji family's carriage.
Logically speaking, Ji Yunxi is an unmarried young lady, and doing this is not right and will be detrimental to her good reputation as a girl.
But Ji Yunxi never cares about fame.
Her carriage was quite luxurious.
The space was bright and spacious, and with a fire burning, it was as warm as the spring sunshine in March.
Wu Weian found the most comfortable corner and leaned back.
Wu Er sat next to him, behaving very restrainedly and feeling a little embarrassed.
The curtain embroidered with beautiful auspicious beasts was lifted, and Ji Yunxi walked up.
Wu Er quickly stood up and bowed to her: "Third Miss, thank you very much for today."
Ji Yunxi: "No problem, please take a seat, Second Young Master."
She glanced at Wu Weian, who was completely motionless, and asked casually, "Are you okay?"
Wu Wei'an looked at the roof, the luxurious decorations on it, and felt the warmth in the car. Even his voice was lazy: "If you were a step later, I would have sunk to the bottom."
Ji Yunxi explained: "I'm not in the mansion today."
Wu Weian stretched out his hand and picked at the small table beside him, especially taking the pomelo and plum honey paste that he hadn't eaten last time. "Today's incident is entirely due to the Third Miss. Do you understand?"
Ji Yunxi nodded: "It is indeed my Ji family that implicated you in this matter. I'm sorry."
If she hadn't chosen Wu Weian, the Wu brothers would not have suffered today.
