Chapter 49: The Beginning of the Conspiracy (2)

  Akira's scream drew out Xi, Feng, Chen, Yi and Yu. What they saw was Akira lying at the foot of the stairs, curled up in a ball, while Ziyue stood on the stairs, looking down at her.

  Everyone was stunned there until they heard Akua's painful scream, and then everyone came back to their senses.

  "What's going on here?!" Xi's face was filled with anger.

  "It was her own fault that she fell." Zi Yue looked at Qiuxi with a disdainful gaze, saying calmly.

  "Is that so, Xiaoya?" Xi's anger had yet to dissipate, which made Ziyue feel somewhat annoyed.

  "I originally came to chat with Sister Ziyue, but while chatting, Sister Ziyue suddenly pushed me down. Why? I told Sister Ziyue that I wouldn't snatch Brother Xi from her again, so why did Sister Ziyue treat me like this! Waaah!" Qiuxi Ya actually started crying and acted as if she had been wronged in a big way.

  "Yue Er, why are you doing this? Didn't you say you believed in me?" Xi shouted loudly.

  "Haha, great, Han Shengxi, you actually believe her nonsense and not me, do you really think I did it?" Zi Yue suddenly laughed, a sorrowful laugh, at that moment, her heart hurt again, a piercing pain.

  "But the fact is right in front of us, and it's making me unable to believe you!" Xi had already lost his rationality.

  "Han Shengxi! There's no evidence, don't randomly slander people, I choose to believe Yuèr, Yuèr is not that kind of person!" Chen Zhen couldn't take it anymore and stood up to scold Xi. This was exactly the effect Qiū Xiǎo wanted, she knew that Chen coming out to defend Yuèr would only add fuel to the fire, making Xi even angrier.

  "Hmph!" Xi angrily walked downstairs, picked up Qiuxi, and headed out the door. Before leaving, Qiuxi didn't forget to give Ziyue a triumphant smile, proclaiming her success. Ziyue just gave her a faint glance before turning away.

  "Moon, we believe in you!" Chen, Xue Yi, Feng and Yu Yi said in unison.

  "Thank you, I want to be alone for a while, please don't disturb me." Zi Yue said faintly and turned around to leave. Everyone noticed that Zi Yue's eyes had dimmed and lost their luster. Chen saw this and his heart ached again.

  Zi Yue walked silently into the courtyard, saw the large field of lavender, and thought of her sweet past with Xi. Tears fell from her face, dripping onto the lovely lavender, this scene made one's heart ache.

  Zi Yue squatted down, burying her head in her knees. She didn't cry, she was strong. She was just recalling those beautiful moments, feeling desperate, wondering if all those things were just illusions, fake? No, she didn't believe that. She knew Xi still loved her, he was just blinded by love.
