Young Master Lu’s Lovely New Bride

Chapter 197 Su Yicheng, Help Me

Before screaming, Luo Xiaoxi looked carefully and found the figure in the shadow a little familiar.

He was against the light and she could not clearly saw his face. But his slim and straight figure was outlined by the light from the balcony. She didn’t know whether he was wearing a casual suit or a tailored one. He just stood there and looked like a top male model standing on an international stage.

Besides Su Yicheng, who else could it be?

Luo Xiaoix dared not to move. She clenched her fists, with nails deeply sunk in her palm, bringing the growing pain.

She was using the pain to keep herself sober, or if she could not restrain herself, she would jump on Su Yicheng like a hungry wolf.

Seeing Luo Xiaoxi standing still, Su Yicheng slightly frowned and approached her.

In the silent dark, the sound made by his steps was particularly clear. It seemed that with every step he took, Luo Xiaoxi’s heart could feel something. Luo Xiaoxi screamed in her heart. “No.”

If Su Yicheng came over, he would find out.

Luo Xiaoxi bit hard to keep her mouth closed. She could not control her feet but stepped back and did not allow herself to make any suspicious sound.

Her movement was nothing but avoidance in Su Yicheng’s eyes.

He suddenly frowned deeper, walked faster to grab Luo Xiaoxi’s hand. By the next second, she was in his arms.

“Ah…”

In the end, she failed to restrain herself. She exclaimed and there was no sign of terror in her voice. However, she panted suspiciously in the end.

Su Yicheng noticed something and lowered his aura. He grabbed Luo Xiaoxi tightly. “Where did you go with Qin Wei?”

“… Bar, the bar.”

Luo Xiaoxi felt as if there were thousands of ants crawling on her skin and were ready to get into her body. She felt the heat, instead of a fever, the heat seemed to come from the fire burning inside her.

She restrained the void pain and it was difficult for her to speak even a syllable.

Su Yicheng did not need to ask and knew what had happened. He reached out to turn on the light but was stopped by Lui Xiaoxi. “Don’t, don’t turn on the light, please…” She did not know what she looked exactly now but she knew she must look disgraceful.

She could allow Su Yicheng to see her any look but she did not want him to see her disgrace.

Su Yicheng withdrew his hand. His eyes had adjusted to the dark and he could see Luo Xiaoxi by the light from the balcony. He could saw her red lips slightly open and the abnormal blush on her face.

His heart suddenly started to race.

That effect of the drug seemed to be contagious.

Su Yicheng looked away to think how to solve the problem without hurting Luo Xiaoxi.

It was at that time when Luo Xiaoxi suddenly leaned on him.

Since the beginning of the drug attack, Luo Xiaoxi had been restraining and controlling herself. But at the moment when Su Yicheng pulled her into his arms, she felt that she had found the cure.

“Su Yicheng,” she pleaded, “help me.”

“Xiaoxi!” Su Yicheng pushed her away. “Sober up!”

“Oh…” Luo Xiaoxi gave a painful whimper. “I’m in so much pain. Su Yicheng, help me…”

Looking at Luo Xiaoxi, for a moment, Su Yicheng was almost unable to control himself, but fortunately, he could at least think rational for that moment.

He was contemptuous of the moves of taking advantage of others when they were weak.

While thinking like that, he held Luo Xiaoxi up and walked to the bathroom.

In early autumn, City A had been a little cold. Girls could not take a cold water shower anymore. Su Yicheng put Luo Xiaoxi in the bathtub and turned on the tap to the great extent, trying to bring her back to her senses with cold water.

However, how could it be so easy to bring her senses back when she already run out of them?

Luo Xiaoi just felt that the fire was still burning. The cold water made her cold. She curled up and tightly hugged herself in the bathtub and could think nothing because the shift of heat and coldness was almost driving her crazy.

Su Yicheng, who was standing on the edge of the bathtub, did not feet good either.

If the method did not work and could not make Luo Xiaoxi feel better, he would not care whether she was at a weak stage or not anymore.

The water in the bathtub soon covered Luo Xiaoxi. Perhaps she was adapted to the coldness and gradually stopped trembling. She just curled up in the bathtub, like an injured little animal.

No one knew how long it had passed when her head flapped down. Su Yicheng called her several times but she did not react. Maybe she had lost her consciousness.

Su Yicheng dragged Luo Xiaoxi out from the bathtub. He held her on his arms, walked to the living room and put her on the sofa. Then, he quickly brought the clean pajamas and a dry towel.

He changed her clothes and dried the cold water on her body. The abnormal blush on her face faded out a lot. Su Yicheng thought that he was faced with the biggest challenge in his life.

Finally, he closed his eyes, held up Luo Xiaoxi and went back to the room. He put her underneath the quilt and it was at the moment when his cellphone rang. No matter what kind of message it was, at least it could distract him for a while.

Su Yicheng took his cellphone to the balcony of the living room and found it was an e-mail from Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen found out what happened on the catwalk tonight.

Su Yicheng had suspected that the accident was made by someone, especially someone among the 19 contestant models. As expected, the result confirmed his guess. But he did not expect that someone had instructed Li Yingyuan to do that.

The person who had instructed her was Zhang Mei.

Su Yicheng immediately dialed Xiao Chen’s number.

“It is so late now. Have you not slept yet?” Xiao Chen was very surprised when he answered the call. He hesitated but finally asked, “What are we going to do?”

If the responsibility was all on Li Yingyuan, it would be very easy to solve. Xiao Chen did not even need to ask Su Yicheng. But when it came to Zhang Mei, he dared not act rashly.

“Don’t let Xiaoxi know first.” Su Yicheng had a headache and had to knead his temples. “I will take care of it.”

“… OK. But last time we have held out on Ms. Luo. This time if she finds out…”

XIao Chen did not continue but Su Yicheng had known what he would say.

These two events were very hurtful to Luo Xiaoxi. Since they were associated with Zheng Mei, Su Yicheng had to carefully handle them.

Such caution may be interpreted as covering criminals by someone with ulterior motives.

According to Luo Xiaoxi’s temper, if she knew the entire truth, she would not just ignore Su Yicheng for a time.

If she had had a good-temper like that, she would have forgiven Qin Wei now.

“In fact, she was suspicious that her shoes had been touched by someone.” Su Yicheng warned Xiao Chen. “Don’t let her find out. When it is time, I will tell her everything.”

Xiao Chen said yes. “I know what to do next.”

Su Yicheng hung off. A breath of wind at early autumn night drifted in. The coldness crawled in through every pore on his body. He had already forgotten the romantic feeling and just left the frowned eyebrows on his face.

When he walked by the living room to his room, he saw the cigarette and lighter on the table. Finally, he didn’t restrain himself, smoked in the wind and then returned to his room.

Luo Xiaoxi had fallen asleep. He touched her hand and found it was not as cold as when she was just out from the bathtub and the blush on her face disappeared.

Su Yicheng opened the quilt and lay down. As if she had noticed something, Luo Xiaoxi squatted her lips in her dream and shrank to a place farther away from him.

He raised his lips but smiled helplessly.

If she knew what he had held out on her, she would also subconsciously stay away from him when she was awake.

When in the past, they played each other’s role. He had wanted to stay away while Luo Xiaoxi shamelessly wanted to get close.

When did he start to want Luo Xiaoxi?

He once thought it was the most recent, but the memories that came up told him that it was a long time ago.

At the time when Su Jianan married Lu Boyan, Luo Xiaoxi knew Qin Wei and danced face to face with him in the bar.

Luo Xiaoxi was that kind of person who could make a lot of friends wherever she went. She had many male friends and got along well with anyone. He never cared about it because he knew she just took them as friends and would not develop further.

Not until that time when he saw her with Qin Wei, did he find something between Qin Wei and Luo Xiaoxi that could be seen as “tacit understanding.” Within a few days, they had gotten familiar with each other. Luo Xiaoxi even pretended to share a hotel room with Qin Wei to help Qin Wei drive away his girlfriend.

From that time on, he had a sense of crisis, but he could not realize that there was a sense of crisis because he cared about Luo Xiaoxi.

Luckily, it was not too late for him to act.

But before he could stay with Luo Xiaoxi, he still had a lot to address.
