Chapter 125 Corner
In a corner, a pair of eyes were staring at Lan Yaoxia, revealing endless sadness and loss.
The owner of that gaze was Xuan Huaying. She hid in the corner and silently watched Lan Yaoxia's every move, as if Lan Yaoxia's every frown and smile could involve her deepest emotions.
Xuan Huaying smiled bitterly, shifted his gaze away from Lan Yaoxia, and slowly looked at Li Jinxi.
When she saw Lan Yaoxia and Li Jinxi standing side by side, she couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart.
The two of them seemed like a perfect match made in heaven, and their perfect match made Xuan Huaying feel even more bitter.
"She's so beautiful... She's a better match for me."
Xuan Huaying murmured to herself, her voice so soft that only she could hear it.
Her eyes were full of sadness, as if she was lamenting the trick of fate.
After saying this, Xuan Huaying's face, which was originally as pale as paper, became solemn again, with a faint bitter smile hanging at the corner of his mouth, mixed with a little sadness.
Xuan Huaying slowly turned around and walked away with heavy steps.
Her back looked so desolate and lonely, which made people feel pity for her.
At this moment, a man walked up to her and asked with concern: "Xiaoying, what's wrong?"
He noticed that Xuan Huaying's face seemed paler than before, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Xuan Huaying shook her head, tried to force a smile, and replied calmly, "Nothing, just a little tired."
She didn't want others to see her inner turmoil, so she tried to hide her emotions.
The man frowned, his eyes full of worry: "You don't look very well, are you feeling unwell? Why don't we find a place to sit down and rest for a while."
He reached out to support Xuan Huaying, but she gently pushed him away.
"No, I'm fine, Li Tao, I want to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air."
Xuan Huaying rejected the man's kindness and insisted on leaving alone.
She knew that if she continued to stay here, it would only make her feel worse.
The man looked at Xuan Huaying's figure getting farther and farther away, his heart full of worry.
He didn't know why Xuan Huaying suddenly became so depressed.
Seeing her persistence, Li Tao stopped arguing and quickened his pace to catch up with Xuan Huaying. He said with concern, "If you encounter any problems, remember to call me at any time."
"Ah."
Xuan Huaying's voice was cold and without a trace of warmth. She quickly distanced herself from Li Tao and walked out quickly.
Lan Yaoxia seemed to have sensed something unusual and glanced in the direction where Xuan Huaying left. She only saw a figure flash by the door and then disappear without a trace.
This made him feel a strange feeling in his heart, as if something was happening quietly.
After a long wait, the wedding procession finally arrived at the hotel.
As soon as Du Yujie got off the car, he ran away impatiently. He was eager to get to the locker room to change into a new set of clothes.
Because he was in a hurry, he didn't notice someone in front of him when he turned a corner in a corridor and accidentally bumped into the other person.
Xuan Huaying lost her balance in an instant and fell to the ground. She felt waves of pain in her body, but she did not make any sound.
She bit her lips tightly and frowned slightly.
Makes people look more fragile.
Du Yujie hurried forward to help her up, and apologized repeatedly: "I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you when I turned the corner just now."
"Are you OK……"
However, when Du Yujie saw Xuan Huaying's face clearly, he was stunned and stammered, "You are... Xuan Hua... Ying?"
After Xuan Huaying was helped up, she looked at Du Yujie's surprised expression and knew why he was so surprised.
She was the first to say hello: "Long time no see!"
Du Yujie finally came back to his senses and stammered in response, "Long...long time...no see."
"How will you be here?"
Hearing Du Yujie's question, Xuan Huaying was stunned for a moment, with a look of disappointment in her eyes, but she still pretended to be relaxed and said, "After all, we are old classmates, don't you welcome me?"
"Ahem, that's not the case."
Du Yujie felt very embarrassed and saw that she was rubbing her arm where there was a big bruise.
It must have been caused by the fall after being hit by him just now.
Du Yujie asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"
"I'll go get you some medicine."
Xuan Huaying shook her head, "No need."
Du Yujie looked at her pale face, and a ripple appeared in his heart. Xuan Huaying had been weak since childhood and needed to take medicine for a long time. Her face was always so pale and bloodless.
"Who caught you?"
"Which little girl did you bully?"
Xuan Huaying looked at Du Yujie's disheveled appearance and his scratched neck, and couldn't help but frown.
Du Yujie smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, I just ran into a crazy woman."
He shook his head helplessly again, seeming to be speechless about what had just happened.
"Luckily, I was good at fighting and covered my face, otherwise I would have been disfigured today."
As Du Yujie spoke, he gently stroked his cheek, as if he could still feel the thrill of that moment.
Xuan Huaying couldn't help but cover her mouth and sneer: "You are still the same, you haven't changed at all!"
However, her laughter suddenly stopped as a figure appeared behind her.
"Xiaoying, what's wrong?"
Li Tao walked out from the corridor behind Xuan Huaying, shouting as he walked quickly to Xuan Huaying's side.
When he saw Du Yujie, his expression instantly turned ugly.
"What's the matter with you?"
Li Tao asked Du Yujie in a bad tone, his eyes full of vigilance and hostility.
Du Yujie looked at Li Tao blankly, completely confused.
After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, "Um... Xuan Huaying... who is this?"
Xuan Huaying was about to introduce Li Tao, but Li Tao said before her: "I'm her boyfriend, come to me if you need anything."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, as if he was protesting to Du Yujie. For some reason, he suddenly regarded Du Yujie as his love rival.
When Xuan Huaying heard that Li Tao claimed to be her boyfriend, she was stunned for a moment, but did not expose him.
Du Yujie was stunned for a moment, then an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
He nodded thoughtfully, then extended his right hand to Li Tao and said with a polite smile: "So that's how it is. Congratulations to you guys."
Li Tao looked at the hand Du Yujie extended to him, hesitated for a moment, and finally shook it, and squeezed it hard.
"Thank you."
Li Tao replied expressionlessly.
Then, he turned to look at Xuan Huaying, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes: "Xiaoying, let's go."
