Chapter 52: Chapters 49-51 Shen Xiaoxiao_3

While jogging slowly along the path and gazing at the rippling blue-green waters of the river, thoughts of work began to occupy her mind. Suddenly, a figure caught her eye.

Wasn’t that the kid who lived in Chen Jianguo’s villa? She hadn’t expected him to have a habit of taking walks as well.

Shen Xiaoxiao revealed a hint of surprise, which was quickly replaced by a brightening of her beautiful eyes. Wasn’t this an excellent opportunity to get closer to him?

But how should she approach him?

It was said that bastards, especially those who had suffered from a young age, had very strong self-esteem and wariness.

Shen Xiaoxiao slowed her pace, her mind racing with thoughts.

While she was still pondering, she suddenly stepped on a pebble that seemed to have come out of nowhere. Normally such a pebble wouldn’t cause any trouble, but her attention was completely on Xiao Yi, and she didn’t notice. As a result, she twisted her foot severely upon stepping on it, causing her to gasp in pain.

Xiao Yi was fully engaged in calculating whether it was feasible to jump into the Redwater River from here and swim to the opposite bank when he heard an alluring cry of "Ouch!" nearby, prompting him to look over involuntarily.

With that glance, his eyes suddenly froze for a moment.

He saw a woman squatting on the road ahead, her face showing pain as she rubbed her pure white feet. Even though he had seen many beautiful women, there weren’t many as beautiful as the one before him. Even as she squatted there in pain, her charm was undeniable, and the slight furrow of her Emei brows lent her an even more pitiable and enchanting allure.

"Ouch!"

By this time, Shen Xiaoxiao was no longer thinking about Xiao Yi; she was busy clutching her sprained foot to ease the pain, cursing in her heart the vile person who had put the pebble on the track.

"Are you okay?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yi decided to go over and ask. He wanted to show some kindness, as after all, they were from the same community; it seemed a bit improper not to offer help. Most importantly, it was a small matter and wouldn’t cause trouble like Zhang Yuhuan’s incident had.

"It’s nothing, just twisted my ankle by accident. Ah, it’s you?"

When Shen Xiaoxiao heard someone coming to ask about her, she instinctively responded, while her gaze turned towards the person with a smile. But as soon as she looked up, she was stunned—it was Xiao Yi, the very person she had desperately wanted to get close to just moments before.

"Uh, you know me?"

Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao’s expression, Xiao Yi was also taken aback.

He was sure he had never met this person. He had no reason to forget such a beautiful woman.

"Ah, no, I don’t know you. I saw wrong just now; I thought you were another friend of mine."

Shen Xiaoxiao quickly waved her hand, a surge of elation rising secretly in her heart. She hadn’t expected that without intending to, she would find shade under the willow she had unwittingly planted. She had racked her brains without coming up with a way to get close, and now, by twisting her ankle, he had approached her on his own.

"Oh, is your foot all right?"

Xiao Yi nodded somewhat understandingly, not thinking much about it, and once again asked about her foot.

"It hurts a bit. Can you help me sit down over there?"

Shen Xiaoxiao’s face showed a hint of pain as she looked at Xiao Yi with a pitiable glance.

"This... okay."
