Chapter 427: Chapter 426: (1 more update)

From such a high place, Xu Sisi had already warned Jin Ruiyang, yet he still jumped down.

For a moment, her heart was trembling with tension.

"Brother Ruiyang..." she exclaimed in shock.

Jin Ruiyang landed safely, not at all as she had imagined he might—neither falling face-first nor tumbling head over heels.

Because of his jumping motion, his white coat billowed out, caught by the wind, drawing a beautiful curve.

The breeze also tousled his hair, revealing his delicately handsome face, still as striking as when she first saw him, with clear and handsome features that immediately turned Xu Sisi’s worried gaze into one of infatuation.

Brother Ruiyang is so handsome!

Xu Sisi was absolutely smitten, until Jin Ruiyang approached her.

"Xiao Sisi, are you alright?" he asked with concern, a trace of urgency showing between his eyebrows.

Xu Sisi hurriedly replied, "I’m fine, I’m fine, Brother Ruiyang, how about you? Did you hurt your foot when you landed?"

When she had fallen, she had accidentally twisted her ankle.

In fact, Xu Sisi didn’t know that Jin Ruiyang had jumped down on purpose, and thought he had fallen accidentally, just like her.

Even though she had warned him.

She automatically assumed he hadn’t heard her warning.

Or that by the time he heard it, it was too late to stop himself.

Jin Ruiyang had seen her limp earlier, and seeing that she not only didn’t cry out in pain but was actually preoccupied with whether he was hurt, his gaze softened unconsciously.

"I’m fine. But you, did you hurt your foot?"

Upon hearing he was all right, Xu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, her two large, shiny, agate-like eyes sparkling brightly.

"That’s great, I’m glad you’re okay."

Her voice, crisp, now carried a hint of cheer and relief.

Xu Sisi only came up to Jin Ruiyang’s chest, so when speaking to him up close, she naturally tended to look up.

Her smile was very pretty, her two small dimples lending a sweet flavor.

Jin Ruiyang looked down, his gaze landing on her face, her bright smile involuntarily lifting his spirits.

Despite being injured herself, and a girl at that, she was all casual about it, as if his well-being was more important than her own body.

For some reason, he remembered the day after Jin Yu had gotten married, when he and she had left the inn, her beaming smile as she told him how much she liked him.

Did she really like him that much?

The emotions unconsciously intensified behind the lenses of his glasses.

"Silly girl."

Jin Ruiyang sighed and bent down to pick her up.

"Eh, Brother Ruiyang..." Taken by surprise, Xu Sisi was both shocked and delighted.

Ah, Brother Ruiyang is holding her again!

What to do, she didn’t want to get down.

"I’ll take you up, don’t move around."

Up, go up?

Xu Sisi then remembered that they were still three meters below the road.

"Brother Ruiyang, let me down," she protested. How would this work for getting up?

Jin Ruiyang merely glanced at her lightly, his grip holding her without the slightest decrease in strength.

While Xu Sisi was curious about how he was going to take her up while holding her, she saw Jin Ruiyang walking forward steadily, and then... success. He reached the level part of the ground that met the road, lifted his foot and stepped over.

Xu Sisi: "..."

Oh, heavens, she felt so foolish.

It was a good thing she hadn’t voiced her question.

After they got into the car, Jin Ruiyang could feel the little girl staring at him with bright, shining eyes, which made his ears feel hot.

The air was so quiet it seemed a pin dropping in the cabin could be heard.

He was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and with the other, he reached out and touched his glasses, his middle finger steadying them.

If Jin Yu were here, he would definitely see that Jin Ruiyang was nervous.

But Xu Sisi wasn’t Jin Yu, and had no idea Jin Ruiyang was nervous.

"I heard from my mom that your cousin is pregnant," Jin Ruiyang said, trying to make conversation.

Indeed, after Jin Yu took leave and went home, Ye Qin shared this news with her son.

The purpose, naturally, was to give him a little nudge.

Xu Sisi of course knew about Xu Niannian’s pregnancy. Because of it, her grandma had even abandoned her, taking grandpa and heading to Sister Niannian’s.

Xu Sisi looked up at the sky, recalling what her grandma said before she went to take care of Xu Niannian.

"Girl, you’re home alone now, don’t miss your grandma and grandpa too much, no point in it, just stay quietly at home by yourself, if you need anything just tell the butler, grandma is going to take care of your Sister Niannian."

Then with a swish of her sleeves, she left the house in a hurry, taking her grandpa with her.

After reminiscing, Xu Sisi hummed a response, "My grandparents are also at your place, visiting my Sister Niannian."

This was news to Jin Ruiyang.

He was surprised, "So you’re home alone?"

"No, my young aunt is also there, but she’s too busy to bother with me," Xu Sisi said indifferently.

"She doesn’t bother with you?" This was unexpected to Jin Ruiyang.

The young aunt she mentioned was Zuo Qing, wasn’t it?

Zuo Qing was a kind and magnanimous girl, and very polite, something Jin Ruiyang was quite sure about.

"Did you have some kind of disagreement with Qingqing?" he inquired.

Xu Sisi immediately shook her head like a rattle-drum, "No, it’s not that. My young aunt is really nice, it’s just that she’s so busy every day, barely ever comes home, only at night to rest, the rest of the time she is out. Although she’s my young aunt, we’ve just met not long ago, so we aren’t very close."
