Chapter 1032 - 1030: Almost Broke My Foot
Zhu Qianyu was browsing the web absent-mindedly in the dormitory, time seemed to crawl, and Ji Huan, ever since hanging up the call, hadn’t sent a word.Zhu Qianyu really wanted to give him a call, to tell him not to bother coming, or if he insisted on coming, she would give him her dormitory number.
What she didn’t know was that her dormitory number had already been given to Ji Huan by Tian Fang the night before she moved in.
However, Ji Huan felt that considering their current relationship, visiting her unannounced would be too abrupt and offensive.
Zhu Qianyu was unaware of this, and after agonizing for over half an hour, she finally picked up the phone and sent Ji Huan a message.
"I’m at employee dormitory C8."
Ji Huan, who received the message, was waiting at a traffic light at a crossroads, glanced at his phone, and couldn’t help but smile slightly.
It was only then that his slightly calmed mind recalled another detail.
For Young Master Yan’s selection contest, the first condition for participants was that the female must come from a prestigious family.
This prestigious family was defined by three criteria.
It could be a scholarly family, a wealthy family, or official descendants.
There are not many people with the surname Zhu, and Zhu Qianyu happened to be from L City, where few families named Zhu met any of these criteria.
Thinking this way, Ji Huan was almost certain that Zhu Qianyu was the child of one of L City’s top wealthy families, the Zhu Family.
Ji Huan had considered this before, but confirming it left him feeling uncomfortable.
Because he had visited L City several times before, and whether he wanted to hear about it or not, he had heard quite a lot about Zhu Zhizhou, the head of the Zhu Family.
Compared to his achievements in promoting his family’s legacy, people seem more intrigued by his tales of enjoying the pleasures of life.
Ji Huan’s family, whether it was his parents, brother, sister, or even his uncle and aunt, and cousin, were all models of loving marriages.
He had no interest in other people’s lifestyles, but thinking that such a man devoid of family responsibility was Zhu Qianyu’s father, he felt very uneasy.
In the end, he held onto a sliver of hope, pretending that Zhu Qianyu was a child from a literary family, rather than the daughter of someone as distasteful as Zhu Zhizhou.
By the time Ji Huan rang the bell of C8, it was already an hour later.
The sudden sound of the doorbell startled Zhu Qianyu, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book, and she jumped up to open the door, running out.
The little master, standing outside the wooden fence, watched the short-haired girl bounce towards him like a little rabbit, and the gloom in his heart dissipated considerably.
"Xiao Yu!" The young master smiled, raising his hand to wave at the girl running towards him.
"Ji Huan, I’m sorry, having you come over on the weekend is really troublesome." Zhu Qianyu felt very guilty.
For him to come over on the weekend like this, she wondered if his beloved would read too much into it.
Thinking this way, Zhu Qianyu secretly regretted mentioning Young Master Yan to Ji Huan.
But besides him, she really couldn’t think of anyone else who could gather information for her.
Anyway, maybe next time she could invite him and his family out for a meal as an apology.
The young master had no idea what was going on in her mind, and followed her into the yard, "No trouble at all, I had been planning to ask you out for coffee yesterday."
Walking ahead, Zhu Qianyu paused and turned back suddenly.
Taking long strides, the young master couldn’t stop in time when she halted, and just bumped into her back, instinctively reaching out to protect her, his large hand falling right on her slender waist.
Thus, Zhu Qianyu’s entire back pressed against the young master’s front, with one of them being over 180 cm tall and the other around 160 cm, it was a height difference cutely and ambiguously standing there from front to back!
It was summer, and both were wearing light T-shirts; pressed together like this, Zhu Qianyu could clearly feel the powerful beating of the heart behind her.
The blood in Zhu Qianyu’s body surged instantly, her mind went blank, and she stood frozen and unresponsive.
The young master held her toward the front of her waist, his head slightly leaning forward, "Xiao Yu? What’s wrong?"
The hot breath sprayed on the back of Zhu Qianyu’s neck, instantly reddening it.
Even if the young master was dull, he realized her change, and since he never was dull, it was just that he habitually respected girls, considering them and reserving a safe distance in everything.
The corners of the young master’s lips curled subtly, his eyes were evidently filled with a strong sense of humor, he leaned his face forward, wishing to see Zhu Qianyu’s red face resembling a cooked shrimp.
"Xiao Yu?"
Zhu Qianyu was jolted awake by the soft call beside her ear, elbowed backward, and escaped his embrace due to the force.
"I... I... I’m fine..."
The young master, fond of this brief intimacy, nevertheless relented, gentlemanly stepping forward and pointing to the doorway, "Do we chat inside or in the yard?"
Having seen her series of responses earlier, the young master was now more confident, so he wasn’t in a hurry!
Following him from behind, Zhu Qianyu hesitated at the main door, then at the little pavilion in the yard, weighing it, and felt it’s better to chat inside.
After all, what she was about to discuss today counted as quite private.
"Let’s go inside; outside is too crowded with people coming and going."
The young master laughed as he ascended the steps, "Xiao Yu, you wouldn’t be about to confess to me, would you? If so, you must give me psychological preparation first!" Although he didn’t look back at her, he could imagine she must be blushing again.
Being teased by Ji Huan, Xiao Yu indeed turned red. Looking at Ji Huan’s tall back, anger and resentment surged, she inadvertently kicked his foot.
"Ji Huan, you act so indecently here! Does bullying a student make you very satisfied?"
The tall young master had already reached the doorway, turned around, leaned against the wall with one leg propped up, supporting himself with the wall behind, arms folded, squinting at her with a smile.
"Xiao Yu, is your being a student something that can’t be overlooked?"
Zhu Qianyu pouted her lips, "I can’t forget it, once a teacher, always a teacher!"
The young master’s dark, bright eyes blinked at her, stretching the foot she had kicked earlier in front of her, "Ah, since it’s lifelong teaching, kicking me, a teacher, what kind of matter is this? Challenging authority?"
Zhu Qianyu was stunned for a moment, looking down at his calf.
She saw on his black pants a prominent gray footprint.
The young master saw her freeze, extending his foot further, demonstrating with a hum, "Look at you, how cruel, your teacher’s foot is almost made useless by you!"
With a rosy complexion, Zhu Qianyu looked up and rolled her eyes at him, "You deserved it!"
