Just as she was about to dodge the motorcycle rushing towards her in a 360-degree Thomas spin, she was suddenly embraced by a large hug.
She was held in Qin Xuan's arms as the motorcycle passed by, and apart from the sound of the wind blowing past her ears, she was unharmed.
The motorcyclist didn't expect to lose control. After speeding for a while, he stopped and ran over to apologize to Ye Zhizhou.
"I'm so sorry, I'm usually very careful when I ride my bike, but I don't know why I went the wrong way today. Are you alright, young lady?"
Ye Zhizhou remained in Qin Xuan's embrace, feeling his warmth, and was reluctant to let go.
Qin Xuan released her, looked down at her, and spoke in an extremely gentle tone.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
In that instant, something inside her felt like it had been struck.
"Young lady, if you have nothing else, I'll be going now. My child is waiting for dinner at home!"
The uncle on the motorcycle was relieved to see that Ye Zhizhou didn't seem to be in any trouble.
Ye Zhizhou, her face flushed, looked at the man and said, "It's alright, Uncle, you can go now."
He was just someone who drove the plot forward, not the culprit.
Seeing that Ye Zhizhou was so easy to talk to, the uncle thanked him several times before riding his motorcycle away again.
"Thank you, Qin Xuan."
She looked at Qin Xuan and said solemnly.
Qin Xuan smiled slightly, "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."
Ye Zhizhou smiled knowingly. She wanted to tell Qin Xuan that although it might be an ordinary thing in his eyes, in her eyes, Qin Xuan had saved her life.
Then, she turned her gaze to Su Rui across from her. She noticed that Su Rui was also looking at her, and there was a hint of panic in her expression.
Before she could move, Su Rui had already turned and left.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Xuan grasped her arm.
Ye Zhizhou turned around. "It's alright, let's go back."
Qin Xuan hummed in agreement, and the two walked one after the other to another door.
On the way, Ye Zhizhou recalled Su Rui's expression, which seemed to be one of panic and regret as if she had realized she had done something wrong.
It seems the original storyline is still continuing.
Then she couldn't escape the possibility of dying at any moment.
"I will always be by your side to protect you."
Qin Xuan suddenly lowered his head and said.
Ye Zhizhou was taken aback. Why did she feel like Qin Xuan could hear her innermost thoughts?
She nodded slightly, deciding to put the matter aside for the time being.
As soon as she and Qin Xuan got out of the car at the entrance of the Ye residence, they saw a row of flower baskets placed at the entrance, next to which were two large signs that read: Congratulations to Zhouzhou on graduating from high school.
Ye Zhizhou: ...
Congratulations my foot! She almost lost her life!
"Aunt Zhang, who put those flower baskets by the door? It wasn't my dad, was it?"
When Zhang's mother saw that it was her, she was very happy. "Your uncle had it delivered. He said you worked hard on your college entrance exams, and since he couldn't come to Ning City to be with you, he could only send his blessings in this way. He also said that you should go to Hai City for summer vacation, and he'll introduce you to some places..."
Halfway through her speech, Zhang Ma suddenly noticed Qin Xuan behind Ye Zhizhou and quickly stopped talking, swallowing the words "young and handsome man" back down her throat.
After a pause, he said, "Young Master Qin has arrived as well. The food is ready, and I'll go get it. The master is upstairs and will be down shortly."
After saying that, she immediately went into the kitchen.
Ye Zhizhou smiled, pretending not to understand Zhang Ma's words, and pulled Qin Xuan to sit in the dining room to wait for Ye Huaibin to come down.
"Was the person who called you just now named Su Rui?"
Qin Xuan put down his schoolbag and then asked with a serious expression.
Ye Zhizhou was slightly taken aback. "Yes, it's her."
Qin Xuan remained silent, opened the laptop in his backpack, and began typing rapidly on the keyboard.
A moment later, he said seriously, "Her exam room is fifteen minutes away from ours. If she leaves immediately after the exam, she has to find your location precisely to meet you. Besides, we changed direction halfway through."
Ye Zhizhou was impressed but didn't understand. She thought to herself that the big shot was indeed different from others. Before she could analyze it, Qin Xuan had already done the analysis for her.
But how could she explain to Qin Xuan that all of this was part of the book's plot, and that Su Rui was simply following the book's trajectory?
"If it's a coincidence, then she must have had a purpose in calling you."
Qin Xuan continued to add.
Ye Zhizhou had to admit that Qin Xuan's logical thinking was very meticulous, and Su Rui did indeed have a purpose, the purpose given to her in the original book.
"I don't know her purpose either. When I tried to find her, she had already left."
Qin Xuan pursed her lips, looking very serious. "I will help you find out the reason."
Ye Zhizhou took a sip of water. "Qin Xuan, how about we just let it go? She probably didn't do it on purpose."
Qin Xuan closed his laptop and continued, "Whether it was intentional or not, she should apologize to you."
Ye Zhizhou didn't expect Qin Xuan to be so persistent about her. She also wanted to press Su Rui's head down and make Su Rui apologize to her, but considering the plot, she wished she could stay far away from Su Rui.
"You two are back. I just took care of some urgent business upstairs. Zhouzhou, come and try some crayfish. I specially asked Aunt Zhang to make it for you."
Just then, Ye Huaibin came downstairs, and Zhang Ma helped Ye Xiufang out.
"Xiao Zhou, you worked hard on your exam. Grandma made this braised eggplant, your favorite dish, for you today."
Ye Xiufang lived a very comfortable life at the Ye residence. Zhang Ma would chat with her every day, and she would help Zhang Ma with some housework when she had nothing to do. Although it wasn't as lively as the alleyway, it was also less troublesome.
Ye Zhizhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Dad and Grandma, and thank you, Aunt Zhang."
She enjoyed all the privileges that the original owner never had.
“Your brother can’t come back, but he said he prepared a graduation gift for you, which should arrive in the next couple of days.”
Ye Huaibin was about to peel lobsters for Ye Zhizhou when he noticed that Qin Xuan had already put all the peeled lobsters into Ye Zhizhou's bowl, making his actions unnecessary.
Ye Zhizhou ate the lobster that Qin Xuan peeled quite naturally, chatting with Ye Huaibin as he ate.
"Dad, I want to go to Haishi during the summer vacation to visit my uncle."
Summer is the peak season for film studios, so Dong Xinhui must be extremely busy.
She went to Haishi for two reasons: firstly, Dong Xinhui had treated her well, and secondly, she could use this opportunity to avoid Su Rui and Xu Ze.
Ye Huaibin nodded. "Okay, you can go by yourself?"
Qin Xuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "I'll go with her."
"That's good. With Qin Xuan by your side, Dad is at ease."
Ye Huaibin was becoming increasingly satisfied with Qin Xuan.
Just then, Ye Qian made a video call, and Ye Zhizhou got up to go to the living room to answer it.
"Zhouzhou, you've finished your exams! Guess what gift your brother bought you!"
Ye Zhizhou thought for a moment, "Duck neck?"
Ye Qian said disdainfully, "What the hell is duck neck? I bought you a sexy little dress to seduce guys!"
Ye Zhizhou: ? ? ?
What kind of guy are you trying to flirt with?! Do you want her to get a triple dose of ice from Qin Xuan?
