Episode 135 Episode 135

  Yu Luo thought Ye Xiu would say something, but unexpectedly, he let go of her and got out of bed.

  She inexplicably let out a sigh of relief, and before she could think of what to say, he had already turned back, holding in his hand a pure cotton white underwear, which looked familiar to her, it was clearly hers.

  Ye Xiuzhen's thin lips were pursed tightly, holding her underwear in his hand. In her astonished gaze, he picked up the sanitary napkin from the bedside bag, skillfully unwrapped it, removed the adhesive strip, and stuck it to a specific position on her underwear. Then, he walked in front of her with an unyielding tone.

  "Take off your pants."

  What?

  Yu Luo was bewildered.

  Ye Xiu seemed somewhat impatient and didn't answer her. Instead, he reached out with a large hand and lifted the quilt covering her body.

  "What are you going to do?"

  The bed sank down a block, Ye Xun sat down, and reached into her pajamas.

  Yu Lu's face turned red with anger as he realized what he wanted to do, and he hastily grabbed his hand, stopping him from going any further.

  "Let go."

  "I'll come myself."

  "Let go!"

  Perhaps intimidated by his aura, Yu Luo's hand relaxed, and he pulled down her underwear, taking it off along with her legs. On top, a large amount of blood had already seeped out.

  Yu Luo's face turned bright red with shame, her legs tightly closed together. The scene was too embarrassing, her private parts as a girl were completely exposed in front of Ye Xiu, she was at a loss for what to do.

  Ye Xiuzhen's pupils constricted, and with a flick of her hand, she tossed it into the trash can. She lowered her head and roughly spread her legs apart.

  Yu Luo instinctively wanted to struggle, but was fiercely stared back by his cold eyes.

  His movements were rough and direct, almost rudely putting on her underwear with a newly stuck sanitary napkin.

  His movements were not gentle at all, but Yu Luo's nose suddenly felt sour, and he lowered his head, tears welling up as if they were about to fall.

  "Are you out of your mind? You actually used expired sanitary napkins? Do you still have any common sense?"

  Yu Luo stared at him in shock, unaware that it was an expired sanitary napkin. The two people began to fall silent, one with a gloomy face and the other with her head down, frowning to hold back her tears. Her silence made Ye Xiuchen's anger unbearable.

  "Do you love Nai Shao Tang so much? Love him to the point where you can even give up your own life?"

  Yu Luo suddenly lifted her head, and without realizing it, her eyes had already become moist. Clearly he was scolding himself, but for some reason, she felt a warmth in her heart, wanting to cry, really wanting to cry.

  "What are you crying about? Are you regretting that you fainted and couldn't help him?"

  Yu Luo didn't speak, her heart aching in waves. At the time of bidding, she didn't know what she was insisting on, she just didn't want to watch Nie's family go bankrupt.

  "What? Don't you want to know what the result of the bidding is like?"

  The tears in her eyes seemed to have turned into sharp knives, dripping one by one, piercing into Ye Xiu's heart.

  "Who are you?"

  Before he could say a word, his body suddenly tensed up, and the girl in front of him, who was crying like a tearful child, suddenly threw herself into his arms.

  "I know you'll save him."

  Her voice was hoarse and came from deep within her chest.

  "What if I say you lost?"

  The person in his arms stiffened and shook his head: "No, no. I know you helped me perfect the plan book, but from the start, didn't you intend to help him?"

  Ye Xiu's eyes narrowed, staring at her face. What made her so certain? Even he himself was hating, hating that he couldn't bear to see her heartbroken.

  "Thank you, Ye Xiuchen."

  The name he had been calling for fourteen years finally got stuck in his throat and was not spoken.

  "Is that so?" Ye Xiuzhen smiled wryly in her heart, "If you're thanking me for his sake, then don't."

  Ye Xiu suddenly pushed her away, stood up, turned around, and turned his back on her.

  "Nie has real power, I agreed to cooperate with him, not because of you."

  "Lolo, don't overestimate yourself."

  Is it?

  Yu Luo murmured repeatedly what he said, she thought that as long as he agreed to cooperate with Nie's family, she would be happy, however, for some reason, the fact was not like this.

  The knock on the door brought Yu Luo back to his senses, and Zhang Mama pushed open the door, handing over the invitation in her hand to Ye Xiuzhen. The invitation was personally signed by the principal of A University, with the content being the 100th anniversary celebration of A University, hoping that Ye Xiuzhen could attend.

  "Young master, the person who delivered the invitation is still waiting in the living room for your response."

  Ye Xiu furrowed his brow, just about to instruct Zhang Mama to decline and send the guest away, but then he saw a hint of hope on Yu Luo's face, so he changed his mind.

  "Tell Zhang's mother to inform the person who delivered the invitation that I will attend on time."

  "Yes, young master."

  A University holds a grand school anniversary every decade, and the school invites outstanding alumni to attend in order to attract students. Ye Xiu is naturally the best candidate, but he has never attended before.

  As for this exception, Yu Luo was more excited than surprised. She hadn't returned to school in a long time and wasn't particularly eager to attend the school anniversary celebration. However, she had been missing for so many days, her phone had been confiscated, and Xiao Xue couldn't contact her, probably worried sick. She wanted to see her and put her mind at ease.

  The evening party for the school anniversary is always held for school leaders and outstanding graduates over the years. Strictly speaking, Yu Luo has not graduated yet, so he doesn't have the qualifications to attend. However, if he goes as Ye Xiu's partner, that's a different story.

  No one in school knows about Ye Xiu and her relationship, as long as she puts on some makeup, she shouldn't be recognized, those people will just think of her as his girlfriend, when no one is paying attention, she'll sneak out to find Xiao Xue.

  However, all of this is premised on Ye Shuren allowing her to attend.

  This premise will soon cease to exist.

  Yu Luo was too weak to go to the company, so he stayed at home and rested for two whole days. During this time, in order to recover before the school anniversary, he would get up every now and then and walk around the room. He also ate all the food and medicine sent by others.

  The school anniversary has arrived as scheduled.

  Ye Xiu pushed open the door and walked in, as usual wearing a black tailored suit, but on his left chest was pinned a silver badge with the A University logo, below which were engraved the words "Outstanding Alumnus of A University". This badge was something that Yu Wenzhou knew about, it was said that A University only awarded one every ten years to the most outstanding graduate of the past decade.

  Ye Xiu furrowed his brow, the person in front of him still had a pale face, it's been two days and he still looked anemic, looks like he should call Dr. Ming over to check on him again.

  Yu Luo looked at him with a somewhat guilty conscience, she didn't ignore the square box in his hand, inside which should be the clothes prepared for her to attend the evening party.

  He decided to take her there, did he?

  However, she saw Ye Xiu furrow his brow and take out his phone in front of her.

  "Get ready, prepare the vehicle."

  However, he walked out without looking back.

  "Wait a minute."

  In his anxiety, Yu Luo hastily called out to Ye Xiuzhen.

  What's wrong?

  Watching her small ankles slide down the bed, her body swaying as she walked towards him, the skin on the back of her feet was bloodless and almost disappeared into the long-haired white carpet on the ground, Ye Xiuzhen felt somewhat displeased.

  "Excuse me, may I go?"

  "It's no use."

  Ye Xiu immediately rejected her request. She had trouble even walking and the evening party was too noisy, he worried she couldn't handle it.

  "Is it not possible?"

  Yu Luo's eyes flashed with a deep sense of loss, his voice was light and almost inaudible.

  Ye Xiu's five fingers gripping the box suddenly contracted, and after a moment, he let out a sigh in his heart.

  "Do you really want to go?"

  Yu Luo nodded.

  "If you really want to go, then you have to promise me one thing."

  "What's wrong?"

  "When we arrive at the school anniversary dinner scene, you must stay by my side all the time."

  "Alright, I promise you."

  As he gazed at the sudden burst of smile on her face, the red mole at the corner of her right eye seemed even more vibrant. Ye Shou suddenly felt a strong sense of helplessness, yet it was accompanied by some inexpressible satisfaction.

  Yu Luo changed into the evening dress that Ye Xun gave her, a pure white jumpsuit, paired not with high heels but with flat round-toed doll shoes, which felt very comfortable on her feet.

  In the cramped carriage, Mo Si was driving, Yu Luo and Ye Xiuzhen sat side by side in the back seat, and the car drove down to the foot of the mountain.

  In the air, floating with the faint freshness of tree leaves on mountain roads, atmosphere, quiet.

  This was the first time that Yu Luo felt that sitting next to Ye Xiu wouldn't make her nervous or scared, and instead, she had an indescribable feeling, but she really liked it.

  The car soon arrived at the entrance of A University.

  This time it's A University's centennial celebration, and since the media had already exposed the nocturnal gathering, some politicians and business leaders who originally intended to decline also changed their minds and agreed to attend the celebration.

  A long red carpet stretched from the main gate of A University all the way to the venue of the anniversary gala, with luxurious cars constantly pulling up and out came faces often seen in newspapers.

  Mo Si got out of the car first and opened the door for Ye Xiuchen and Yu Luo.

  As soon as Ye Zhen entered the car, those reporters who had been waiting at the door swarmed in, and for a time, camera flashes kept flashing.

  Yu Luo got off the car behind Ye Xiuchen, and the strong magnesium light made her head a bit dizzy. For a moment, she didn't stand firm, and the long hem of her skirt was accidentally stepped on by herself. Her foot twisted, and her shoe came off her heel.

  She hastily squatted down and tried to put on her shoes.

  Ye Xiuchen's appearance attracted the attention of everyone around him, and Yu Luo, who was blocked by him, was naturally ignored by everyone. To the extent that when someone sneaked up behind her back, no one noticed in time.

  Towards reporters, Ye Xiu had always been resistant. Manager Feng stepped forward and separated him from the reporters.

  The space around him was empty, the woman behind him hadn't caught up, Ye Xiu furrowed his brow, turned his head back, wanting to see what she was doing, but the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of a reflective dagger.

  "Be careful!"

  He rushed over, pulled up Yu Luo who was crouching on the ground to put on her shoes, and tightly protected her in his arms. His deep black eyes vigilantly scanned around.

  However, in just a few seconds, the person who was approaching Yuluo with a dagger disappeared, or perhaps hid into the noisy crowd.
