743 A Million Times for You 105 (2/2)
”Who said I can't? I'll persist until the end,” Long Xiaoxi snapped in disgruntlement.
She knew that Wen Yuechan enjoyed poking fun at her and making her look bad. Thus, she bit her lip and continued to hang on with all her might.
Long Xiaoxi really managed to push through the full thirty minutes.
When Chen Xu finally allowed them to stop, Long Xiaoxi lost her balance and fell onto the ground, after which everyone began laughing at her.
She glowered at Wen Yuechan, who was laughing the most merrily, and got back up on her feet before heading to the washroom.
Just as she stepped foot inside, Wen Yuechan entered, her hair pulled back into a high braid on which there was a beautiful floral hair clip. She had a pink hairclip on the crown of her head as well. Her eyes were big and sparkly, and she was tall and slender, a stark contrast from Long Xiaoxi.
Long Xiaoxi was no match for her at all. Whenever they stood side by side in front of the basin, Long Xiaoxi would always be the first to walk away.
This time, it was no exception. After washing her hands, Long Xiaoxi began walking away. ”Long Xiaoxi,” Wen Yuechan yelled to stop her in her tracks.
”What do you want?”
”I have something to ask you about.”
”What is it?”
Wen Yuechan recalled the question her mother had wanted her to ask. She had been putting it off for days and dared not pop the question to Jin Yiheng, for she was afraid that he would be upset.
After much thought, she decided to ask Long Xiaoxi instead. ”When I went home a few days ago, I heard from some outsiders that Yiheng's mother is dead. Is that true?”
Long Xiaoxi hit the roof as soon as she heard her question. She widened her eyes and yelled at the top of her voice, ”Your mother is dead! My Godma can't be dead!”
”I heard it from others so I just wanted to ask if it was true. Why did you have to curse my mother!?!”
”Well then, I also heard that your mother is dead. Why can't I say that based on hearsay?”
Wen Yuechan was exasperated. ”I was just casually asking, why do you have to react that way? No wonder Yiheng doesn't like you at all, you're ill-mannered,” she scorned.
Boiling with fury, Long Xiaoxi leaped toward Wen Yuechan and pinned her onto the ground.
Wen Yuechan was caught off guard and thrown off balance. She then suffered multiple strikes from Long Xiaoxi, who was mounting her.
Jin Yiheng barged in and pulled them apart.
Noticing that it was Jin Yiheng, Long Xiaoxi hurriedly spluttered and tried to explain herself, ”She was the one who provoked me first, otherwise… I… I wouldn't have hit her.”
The more flustered Long Xiaoxi was, the more incoherent she was, and she even appeared as if she was trying to defend her mistake.
On the other hand, Wen Yuechan hung her head low while sobbing without uttering a single word.
Long Xiaoxi was overwhelmed with panic as she noticed that Jin Yiheng was not talking. ”Brother Yiheng, please believe me!” she pleaded anxiously.
Although she had gotten into various conflicts with Jin Yiheng, she would often still hope that he would believe her.
However, Jin Yiheng would always choose to side with Wen Yuechan whenever she got into a conflict with her.
Long Xiaoxi was insecure and immediately thought of Wen Yuechan's unsettling words.
”No wonder Yiheng doesn't like you.”
Long Xiaoxi hung her head low.
Wen Yuechan felt rather relieved and assured. Just as she thought Jin Yiheng was going to berate Long Xiaoxi, he grabbed the latter's hand and walked away with her.
Even Long Xiaoxi was dumbfounded.
She looked at Jin Yiheng before turning to glance at Wen Yuechan.
Wen Yuechan stood rooted to the ground in shock and watched them leave.
After having walked a distance, Long Xiaoxi finally plucked up her courage and asked, ”Brother Yiheng, are you angry with me again?”
”I'm not.” Jin Yiheng let go of her hand and adjusted her hat for her. ”I heard everything when I was outside. Xiaoxi, Daddy brought me home this afternoon to meet Mommy,” he continued.
