Chapter 363

Li Zhuangsheng's words made Yao Xingyu feel embarrassed and angry. She wanted to kick him, but she held back in the end.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, of course my feet are not pretty. They are not as pretty as your Zhu Zhixue's feet!"

"Yes, indeed not." Li Zhuangsheng nodded.

Yao Xingyu gritted his teeth and snorted, not knowing whether he was relieved or dissatisfied.

This is good, the atmosphere is finally not so awkward, Li Zhuangsheng thought.

In fact, he had not observed Zhu Zhixue's feet carefully, and it was not easy to compare them with Yao Xingyu's. Everyone had completely different standards for beauty and ugliness. However, Li Zhuangsheng did think that Yao Xingyu's feet were not as good-looking as Li Xiuyu's, although Yao Xingyu's feet seemed whiter and more like cream than others.

"Hey, your sister's EQ is too low. She said those things to Xie Jiangqing today!"

Feeling the touch of Li Zhuangsheng's fingers, Yao Xingyu hummed softly to ease the embarrassment in his heart, and of course included inviting Lin Yuehua.

She didn't know the relationship between Li Zhuangsheng and Lin Yuehua. Although they were classmates, she only knew that they had a good relationship. Some people said that Lin Yuehua had a crush on Li Zhuangsheng, and she felt that too. But she didn't see how much Li Zhuangsheng liked Lin Yuehua before. After all, Li Zhuangsheng was generous and kind, and was friendly to everyone.

However, Li Xiuyu was not in the same class as Li Zhuangsheng, so they probably didn't know a lot about each other, and it probably wasn't intentional. Besides, she had a very good reason to invite Lin Yuehua to play together, so Yao Xingyu didn't think much about it, and could only complain about Li Xiuyu's low EQ and her nonsense about Xie Jiangqing and Li Zhuangsheng. Not to mention that Zhu Zhixue was upset, even she was upset!
"Well, I'll talk about her later." Li Zhuangsheng nodded.

"There's no need to go too far. Your sister probably didn't do it on purpose!" Yao Xingyu said.

Can you guys stop looking at faces so much? Just because she is handsome doesn't mean it's intentional? She is obviously 100% intentional!
"Yeah." Li Zhuangsheng didn't argue with him.

"Anyway, don't forget who your girlfriend is. Zhu Zhixue really loves you!"

"I know..." Li Zhuangsheng said, then he was silent for a moment, "Hey, did she tell you about her mother?"

"You told me about her family situation?" Yao Xingyu was slightly startled, his eyes became complicated, "I know a little bit... You see her family is so miserable, please don't hurt her again!"

"I'm asking you if you have discussed her mother with her," Li Zhuangsheng repeated.

"We haven't discussed it much. I just know roughly that he seems to have remarried...what's wrong?"

Li Zhuangsheng was silent for a moment: "Nothing, I just asked."

Yao Xingyu was a little unhappy: "Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?"

Li Zhuangsheng shook his head and stopped talking.

Peace returned to the two of them, and birds occasionally chirped in the mountains. The cool breeze of early spring rustled the leaves, and the chilly spring air hit Yao Xingyu's feet, causing him to shiver.

"Hey, do you know why Zhu Zhixue likes you?"

"I think I know why."

"You really know?"

"Because something happened on the first day of the new year."

"So you knew..." Yao Xingyu looked up at the sky, sighed slightly, and muttered, "It's been so many years, and you still remember it so clearly."

"What did you say?" Li Zhuangsheng suddenly raised his head.

Yao Xingyu blinked: "I say, from the first grade to now, it has been almost five years. What happened?"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled, and then continued to bandage Yao Xingyu, lowering his head and saying, "Yeah, that's right, so many years have passed, but it feels like only a few years." "I tell you, you got lucky!" Yao Xingyu snorted, "At that time, she was still mentally immature, and you took her down!"

Li Zhuangsheng smiled but said nothing.

He didn't know how much Yao Xingyu had heard from Zhu Zhixue, so he didn't get involved in the topic.

"She said you are gentle and kind. I was going to say there are many gentle and kind people..." Yao Xingyu looked down at Li Zhuangsheng who was half kneeling in front of her and smiled, "But you are indeed kind."

"Thank you for the compliment, I am unworthy of it," said Li Zhuangsheng.

"Oh, no, why did you take off the bandage again? Do you know how to fight?" Yao Xingyu suddenly couldn't help frowning.

"Sorry, I've never played it before. I just watched a video on Bilibili and learned a little."

"B-station?"

"It should be no problem. I'll try harder this time!"

"Ouch, that hurts! Be gentle!"

After a lot of trouble, the bandage was finally applied successfully. Yao Xingyu's feet could barely fit into the shoes, and he felt better than before.

"Are you walking okay?" Li Zhuangsheng stood up and asked softly.

"Not bad." Yao Xingyu took a few steps.

"Don't forget your socks!"

Li Zhuangsheng picked up the white socks that Yao Xingyu had thrown on the stone. Yao Xingyu snatched them away, rolled them up and put them in his pocket.

Li Zhuangsheng sniffed his hands and said, "I'm going to wash my hands. Wait for me."

This subconscious action made Yao Xingyu feel shy and indignant. He thought to himself, do my feet smell? After walking so many mountain roads, it is normal to sweat a little!
"I want to wash my hands too!" Yao Xingyu said heavily, "Let's go together!"

"Although you've put on a bandage now, don't forget to go to the hospital to take some X-rays, go to the emergency room, and explain the situation to the doctor. If you don't want your family to know, I can lend you some money first. You can pay it back when you have money. I won't rush you."

While washing hands, Li Zhuangsheng reminded again.

"I know, you're just nagging me!" Yao Xingyu pursed her lips, feeling an indescribable emotion in her heart. "Remember to treat her well. She may be a little paranoid sometimes, but she definitely loves you the most!"

"Well, I understand." Li Zhuangsheng smiled slightly, "Do you know why Xiaoxue doesn't like others touching her?"

Yao Xingyu immediately became indignant: "She said she seemed to have mysophobia...but she doesn't have mysophobia towards you?"

"No, she doesn't have mysophobia." Li Zhuangsheng shook his head. "She's just afraid."

"What is she afraid of?" Yao Xingyu was stunned.

"Although I'm just guessing... She's probably afraid that someone will hurt her because before this, due to her family and her appearance, the world had given her too much malice. So she's afraid that someone will hurt her again. This should be her stress response."

Li Zhuangsheng took a deep breath and spoke softly.

Before his rebirth, he had a friend who also wrote online articles. When they were chatting, the other person once talked about some of his childhood experiences. It was very similar to Zhu Zhixue's, and he also had a similar stress response. He said that he didn't like to have physical contact with others because of the trauma of his childhood.
