The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Chapter 177 Lu Qingxi falls

At this moment, Zhai Xingchen was concentrating on the screen of his mobile phone. Then, he clicked and enlarged a place. It was playing the surveillance footage of his bathroom. In the picture, Lu Qingxi's movements seemed a little lost, and there was a dazed and lost expression on her beautiful face, as if she was looking for something. Zhai Xingchen's heart was filled with complex emotions. He wanted to fulfill her wish regardless of the consequences, but he was afraid that he would get hurt.

At this moment, an accident happened. Because Zhai Xingchen asked the servants to clean the floor too cleanly, Lu Qingxi was not careful when leaving, and his foot slipped, and his right body fell heavily on the floor tiles of the bathroom. Zhai Xingchen's heart suddenly tightened, as if something was grabbing him. He hurriedly put his phone aside and rushed upstairs in two steps.

Lu Qingxi was lying on the ground in a mess. She felt pain in her right knee, which made her unable to get up. She tried to support her body with her hands, but found that her strength seemed to disappear without a trace. At this moment, she heard hurried footsteps outside the door. She was panicked and guessed that it was Zhai Xingchen who came back.

Zhai Xingchen stood outside the door and wanted to rush in to check on her. However, at the moment when he was about to push the door, he suddenly stopped. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He knew that Lu Qingxi must be in pain and embarrassment at the moment. Moreover, her purpose of entering his room was to help Xiao Lan find her flaws, which was a sensitive and complicated situation in itself. If she got hurt again because of nervousness, that was definitely something he didn't want to see.

So, Zhai Xingchen stood at the door and said in the softest tone: "I...I know you are in there. Don't move now, and don't worry. I won't ask you any questions. I just want to help you, okay? I'll come in after you count to three."

Lu Qingxi's heart skipped a beat. When she heard Zhai Xingchen's familiar and calm voice outside the door, she widened her eyes in surprise, and a trace of embarrassment crept into her heart. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence that Zhai Xingchen would return to the room at this time. What was even more unexpected to her was that he actually knew about her fall.

Originally, Lu Qingxi still had a glimmer of hope, wanting to conceal her embarrassment and quietly leave this embarrassing scene. She tried to struggle to get up, but the pain in her body was like an invisible chain, tightly binding her and making her unable to do anything. At this moment, she could only helplessly lean against the glass door beside her, feeling helpless.

Zhai Xingchen counted to three silently in his heart, then gently opened the door, took big steps, and walked to the door of the washroom in a few steps. The scene in front of him made his heart tighten - Lu Qingxi was leaning against the glass door, her beautiful and moving face looked a little pale and haggard at the moment, with slightly red eyes, like a wronged child.

On the white porcelain tiles, her white calves were particularly eye-catching, contrasting with the whiteness of the tiles, making it difficult to tell who was whiter. However, the glaring red on her knees made Zhai Xingchen's heart ache. He almost wished that he was the one who got hurt instead of her.

His eyes unconsciously fell back to that breathtakingly beautiful face, and the redness at the corners of her eyes seemed to be imprinted on his heart. Zhai Xingchen felt a strong sense of self-blame and heartache, and he wished he could bear this pain for her. He quickly came to his senses, walked gently to Lu Qingxi, squatted down, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

When Lu Qingxi heard Zhai Xingchen's voice, she nodded awkwardly. The current situation was really too embarrassing.

Zhai Xingchen witnessed Lu Qingxi's lovely behavior, and the tenderness in his heart almost overflowed. He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then gently picked her up and carefully put her on the bed as if she were the most precious baby in the world.

He sat beside the bed and comforted her softly, "Wait for me, I'll be back soon." After that, he stood up, walked to the head of the bed, and dialed the family doctor's number.

"Hello, is this Doctor Xu? Bring the medical equipment to my room on the second floor as soon as possible. She just fell and doesn't look well." There was a hint of urgency in Zhai Xingchen's voice, but more of it was concern for Lu Qingxi.

However, he suddenly realized that this statement might be inappropriate. After all, it was not good for Lu Qingxi's reputation to be in her room so late. So he quickly changed his words: "No, not the second floor, it's Miss Lu's room, the fourth floor, yes, the fourth floor. Please hurry up."

After hanging up the phone, Zhai Xingchen's ears turned slightly red. He hugged Lu Qingxi again, intending to send her back to the room on the fourth floor to wait for the doctor to come.

However, just as Zhai Xingchen was about to walk to the door with Lu Qingxi in his arms, he saw his brother Zhai Yijing running over from the next room in a hurry. Zhai Yijing looked at Lu Qingxi in his brother's arms, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but more of worry.

Zhai Yijing quickly walked to Zhai Xingchen and scanned Lu Qingxi carefully. Seeing that she was fine except for the wound on her right knee, his tense nerves relaxed a little. However, when he saw Zhai Xingchen holding Lu Qingxi carefully, he couldn't help but frown again.

The three of them fell into a brief silence, and the atmosphere was a little subtle. Finally, Zhai Xingchen was the first to break the silence. He said softly, "Brother, I will take Qingxi back to her room first." After saying that, he pretended to continue carrying Lu Qingxi upstairs.

Zhai Yijing frowned and stretched out his hand to block Zhai Xingchen's way. Although his tone was cold, his eyes showed a trace of concern: "Xingchen, you should leave Qingxi to me. Go and have a good rest, you still have classes tomorrow."

A trace of displeasure flashed in Zhai Xingchen's eyes. He looked up at Zhai Yijing and understood the real reason why his brother was here. He knew that the reason why Zhai Yijing insisted on handing over Lu Qingxi was not entirely out of concern, but more because he also had special feelings for Lu Qingxi.

Since childhood, Zhai Xingchen has always been in awe of Zhai Yijing and has almost never disobeyed his wishes. However, at this moment, he did not want to let go so easily and let Lu Qingxi leave his sight. A stubbornness surged in his heart, and he wanted to stick to his decision.

Zhai Yijing seemed to see Zhai Xingchen's hesitation and persistence. He said lightly: "Zhai Xingchen, you need to go back and rest now. Leave her to me, I will take good care of her." Although his tone was calm, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Zhai Xingchen bit his lip, knowing that he could not go against his brother's wishes. In the end, he nodded and gently handed Lu Qingxi to Zhai Yijing's arms. His heart was filled with reluctance, but he also understood that this was the best choice at the moment.

Zhai Yijing took Lu Qingxi. His eyes stayed on Zhai Xingchen for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just turned around and left silently.

Lu Qingxi was embraced in an embrace filled with the scent of cold wood. She stiffened her body, feeling a little annoyed at her carelessness. However, the embrace of the other person made her feel inexplicably at ease. He walked neither fast nor slow, with a steady and powerful pace, which made her unconsciously relax her tense nerves.

Along the way, Lu Qingxi didn't say a word, just quietly nestled in Zhai Yijing's arms. She felt as if she was in a peaceful ocean, isolated from all the noise and disturbance.

Since Zhai Yijing did not choose to take the elevator, when Zhai Yijing carried Lu Qingxi to her room, Lu Qingxi was almost asleep. However, the pain in her knee still made her sober up a little. She looked at Zhai Yijing's handsome, calm and steady face, and a sense of relief surged in her heart.
