At this moment, Xia Ye also stopped.

Xia Ye looked around and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At last, they had run to a safe place.

Xia Ye turned his head to look at Lu Yinxing, who was staring intently at him.

Xia Ye had seldom seen Lu Yinxing like this.

It was as if she was in a daze.

Xia Ye frowned slightly, clearly a bit worried, "What’s wrong with you?"

Lu Yinxing suddenly snapped back to reality, almost reflexively withdrawing her hand from Xia Ye’s palm.

Xia Ye’s gaze landed on Lu Yinxing’s face.

They met each other’s eyes. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

In that instant, Lu Yinxing felt as if she had been electrified.

Her heart began to pound wildly, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

Her fingers, too, seemed to start trembling uncontrollably.

The palm that Xia Ye had just held now felt as if it were burning with a flame.

Why had she become so sensitive?

But Lu Yinxing already had an answer in her heart.

Facing this answer was extremely difficult for Lu Yinxing.

Actually, signs like this had appeared many times, but Lu Yinxing either ignored or suppressed them.

Because in Lu Yinxing’s view, it was absolutely impossible.

How could it be?

How could she be falling for Xia Ye?

He was her brother?

It was simply outrageous.

But today, having dinner with Wu Mengmeng and Wu Wei.

Seeing Wu Mengmeng’s feelings for Wu Wei.

Lu Yinxing tried to relate it to herself, but it didn’t seem to fit.

Especially when Xia Ye held her hand and ran under the streetlights, moving through the crowd.

In that moment, Lu Yinxing seemed to instantly understand.

Yes, she had indeed developed some kind of uncontrollable and outrageous feelings for Xia Ye.

Once these thoughts sprouted, once they became clear, they seemed impossible to erase.

Lu Yinxing could no longer control herself.

Turmoil arose in Lu Yinxing’s eyes.

Yet Xia Ye was quite puzzled.

Thinking she was scared by what had just happened.

He stepped forward, "What exactly is wrong with you?"

Lu Yinxing, however, took a big step back, "No, you don’t need to worry about me."

Having said that, Lu Yinxing turned and ran.

Xia Ye wanted to chase her but stopped after a few steps.

Xia Ye’s eyes darkened, and in the end, he did not continue to chase after her.

Lu Yinxing jogged all the way back to her dormitory.

Her mood was still difficult to calm down.

Only now did she realize that she had always been a coward.

She didn’t even have the courage to face it.

Moreover, Lu Yinxing thought of many things.

And the complexity of the situation.

She was Ye Xinzu’s girlfriend now.

Ye Xinzu was Night.

Lu Yinxing suddenly remembered how she was so infatuated with Night back then.

Wasn’t it because Night’s aloof charm was so similar to Xia Ye’s?

It turned out she just liked Xia Ye.

This was the conclusion Lu Yinxing reached.

But ironically, she had already become Ye Xinzu’s girlfriend.

An overwhelming sense of guilt washed over Lu Yinxing.

Before, she hadn’t figured out her feelings and easily became Ye Xinzu’s girlfriend.

To be honest, as a boyfriend, Ye Xinzu was impeccable.

But so far, Lu Yinxing always felt as though something was missing between them.

And then there was Wen Quan.

If Wen Quan found out the person she truly liked was Xia Ye...

Not to mention her parents...

Lu Yinxing couldn’t even bear to imagine it.

Her thoughts became incredibly chaotic.

Burdened with a heavy heart, Lu Yinxing returned to the dormitory.
