Xia Jingjing and the rest were dumbfounded when they saw Luo Zhou carrying Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng struggled but Luo Zhou did not put her down.
Her face was slightly red. “Put me down first.”
“Did you sprain your ankle because of them?”
Ye Qingcheng looked at Luo Zhou in surprise. She did not expect him to see through everything without her saying anything.
Ye Qingcheng lowered her thick and long eyelashes. “Someone broke my heel.”
Luo Zhou carried Ye Qingcheng and took a few steps forward. There was not much expression on his face, but the surrounding air seemed to be frozen.
Xia Jingjing and the rest stood on the spot, not daring to move.
“Did she offend you in any way?” Luo Zhou glanced at Xia Jingjing and the rest coldly.
Xia Jingjing looked at Ye Qingcheng, who was in Luo Zhou’s arms, and felt indignant. “Professor Luo, don’t forget that you have a girlfriend. It doesn’t seem appropriate to hug another woman like this!”
“Her ankle is so swollen. If there are serious consequences, can you bear the responsibility?” Luo Zhou was not too strict, but his gaze was inexplicably scary.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the man who was protecting her and felt bitter.
His next words sobered her up immediately.
“If it was any other girl today, I would have brought her to the hospital.” Luo Zhou looked at Xia Jingjing and the rest. “If you did something wrong, I hope you can apologize to her tomorrow at the school radio station.”
What?
Asking them to apologize to Ye Qingcheng in front of the entire school?
Why?!
“Impossible, we won’t apologize!”
Luo Zhou ignored Xia Jingjing and the rest and looked down at Ye Qingcheng. “Is the shoe with the broken heel still there? I’ll get someone to send it to the police station later. If their fingerprints are on it, we can sue them for intentional injury!”
His voice was just loud enough for Xia Jingjing and the rest to hear.
If this matter was brought to the police station, the consequences would be even worse than their public apology!
The students behind Xia Jingjing immediately cowered.
“i
Xia Jingjing’s lips trembled and wanted to say something, but Luo Zhou had already carried Ye Qingcheng to the car.
jing, why don’t we apologize?”
Luo Zhou sent Ye Qingcheng to the hospital.
The injury on Ye Qingcheng’s ankle was not very serious. The nurse gave her a cold compress, a massage, and applied medicine.
Not long after, Madam Ye came over.
Many doctors and nurses came to the ward, all concerned about Ye Qingcheng’s injury.
Ye Qingcheng looked up, wanting to find Luo Zhou, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Later, she asked the nurse and found out that he had already left.
‘When Ye Qingcheng returned, she looked at the bustling night scenery outside the window, but her heart was a little lonely.
He had helped her get out of bed tonight only because they knew each other, not because she was special to him!
Ye Qingcheng rested at home for a few days.
During the weekend, Madam Ye brought Ye Qingcheng to a western restaurant.
“Mom, the food at home is delicious. Why did you come out to eat?”
“Mom will bring you to meet someone.”
Madam Ye brought Ye Qingcheng into a western restaurant and entered a private room. It was only then that Ye Qingcheng realized why her mother had brought her here.
Matchmaking!
Ye Qingcheng touched her face. Was she too old to get married now?
‘The man on the blind date was good-looking and looked to be in his early thirties. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes and looked refined. He was the type that Ye Qingcheng liked.
Perhaps she disliked blind dates, Ye Qingcheng did not say much during the meal.
Madam Ye and the other party’s mother found an excuse and left first.
After dinner, the man asked Ye Qingcheng, “Does Miss Ye like musicals?”
Ye Qingcheng smirked. “It’s alright.”
“Ihave two tickets for the musical. If Miss Ye is interested, please come with me!”
Before Ye Qingcheng could say anything, she received a message from Madam Ye.
“When he invites you to watch a musical later, don’t reject him. You’ll only know if he’s suitable after spending more time with him.”
Ye Qingcheng took the man’s car to the theater.
Their seats were in the middle and when they arrived, the musical had already started.
Ye Qingcheng walked forward with her back hunched.
However, Ye Qingcheng was slightly stunned when she saw the familiar figure sitting beside her seat.
It was Luo Zhou.
Ye Qingcheng looked to the other side of him but did not see his girlfriend.
Ye Qingcheng hesitated for a few seconds before sitting down.
Ye Qingcheng glanced at Luo Zhou from the corner of her eye. His long legs were crossed elegantly and his eyes under the lenses were fixed on the stage, his long fingers tapping lightly on his knee.
He did not seem to notice that the person sitting beside him was her.
The audience in the theater was rather quiet and did not need to talk to the man on the blind date. Ye Qingcheng also seemed more relaxed.
Halfway through, Ye Qingcheng felt a soft fabric brushing past her ankle. She looked down. Luo Zhou had unknowingly put down his crossed legs and changed his sitting posture.
The soft fabric brushed against her ankle, making her itch slightly.
She glanced at him. His attention was still on the stage and he did not notice this abnormality.
Ye Qingcheng pressed her legs together slightly, separating them.
After watching the second half, Ye Qingcheng walked out of the theater with the man and went to the underground parking lot.
The man asked Ye Qingcheng as they walked, “Miss Ye, have you had a boyfriend before me?”
From the meal to the musical, the man had been polite and Ye Qingcheng had a good impression of him. She could not help but be stunned when he suddenly asked such a question. When she regained her senses, she said, “I’m not a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. It’s normal for me to have
a boyfriend, right?”
The man smiled slightly. “It’s very normal. I wonder if Miss Ye’s ex-boyfriend has crossed the line?”
Ye Qingcheng was speechless. Was her good impression just a hallucination?
Seeming to have seen Ye Qingcheng’s unhappiness, the man smiled apologetically. “Miss Ye, I haven’t found a suitable partner in my thirties. Apart from being too outstanding, I have a serious obsession with cleanliness.”
Ye Qingcheng could not smile anymore. Where did her mother find these weirdos to matchmake her?
She had seen narcissistic people, but she had never seen someone so narcissistic!
“Miss Ye, please tell me the truth.”
Ye Qingcheng took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that was almost uncontrollable in her body. She said with a fake smile, “Mr Mai, your question has already touched on my privacy. I’ve seen many outstanding men, but they’re all very gentlemanly and polite. They won’t ask too many questions!
And you’re just thinking that you’re outstanding!”
“You’re a clean freak and I have my standards. Since we don’t meet our own requirements, let’s say goodbye here!”
Ye Qingcheng did not give the other party a chance to speak. She took her bag and left with her chin raised.
After a few steps, she realized that something was wrong.
Turning around, she saw a familiar figure sitting in a car.
Luo Zhou had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the car window, an unlit cigarette between his fingers.
Seeing her look over, he looked at her.
There was a smile in his warm eyes that she could not understand.
Ye Qingcheng immediately quickened her pace.
After that, she mistook his smile for gloating.
It was fine if she met a scumbag on a blind date, but she even met a weirdo. She would never want to go on a blind date again!
Ye Qingcheng felt extremely depressed when she thought about how her relationship had not been smooth since she woke up and how she could not meet a good person on a blind date.
Because she had taken the man’s car on the way here and did not drive herself, Ye Qingcheng walked forward and did not take a taxi.
A dark-colored sedan followed behind her slowly.
After walking for a while, Ye Qingcheng realized that something was wrong.
She looked back and after confirming that the car was following her, she quickened her pace.
But no matter how fast she was, she could not be faster than the car.
The distance between the car and her was not too far.
Ye Qingcheng walked into an alley. Cars were not allowed in the alley and she strode forward.
However, Ye Qingcheng saw that car the moment she left the alley.
The car stopped and a man wearing a dark-colored knitted shirt leaned against the door, a hand in his pocket. His face was handsome and calm. From afar, he looked like a scenery that could not be ignored.
A handsome and elegant man was attractive wherever he went.
Ye Qingcheng did not know why Luo Zhou was following her. Recently, their relationship had been very distant and she did not understand what he meant at all. She did not dare to think too much about it. After all, he had a new girlfriend.
But he had followed her from the theater and she had to think too much.
Ye Qingcheng walked towards him with a frown and stopped a few steps away from him.
“Why are you following me? Are you laughing at me?”
Luo Zhou leaned against the car and looked at Ye Qingcheng, who was walking over. There were not many emotions on his handsome and refined face. He was as calm and indifferent as ever. “Blind date with that person?”
Ye Qingcheng snorted, looking like he knew the answer.
“How many times have you dated me after we broke up?”
Ye Qingcheng scoffed, “It’s none of your business. Don’t you already have a girlfriend? Why are you asking about my private matters? Aren’t you afraid that your girlfriend will be jealous if she finds out?”
Luo Zhou smiled faintly. “Then are you jealous?”
“Sorry, I like to be jealous, but not you.”
“Yes, there’s no need to be jealous of yourself.”
Ye Qingcheng was confused by him and did not understand what he meant. “I’m not jealous of myself.”
There was a smile in his eyes.
Every time he smiled like this, it would make her heart flutter.
Ye Qingcheng turned her head away, his words echoing in her mind.
‘When she regained her senses, she glared at him. “What do you mean?”
Luo Zhou took a step forward and grabbed Ye Qingcheng’s slender hand. “Don’t you understand? I came to K University to get you back.”
Ye Qingcheng widened her eyes at him in disbelief.
The next second, she shook off his hand. “Don’t you have a girlfriend?”
“That person is indeed a blind date introduced by my family. She likes me, but she’s not a clingy person. She came to school that day just to see the person 1 like..”
