Chapter 434 This is Repayment
The knight knelt on one knee in front of her, with one hand bent and raised in front of his chest, looking extremely pious.
Thunderous applause broke out, and the actor bowed and left the stage.
When the teacher went on stage to give a presentation, Meng Yin and the other two finally breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, at least Xia Nian was fine.
Meng Yin leaned back in her chair and glanced at the girl diagonally in front of her. She held the handle of the chair tightly and left her seat with the girl next to her.
Meng Yin found it really strange, so after thinking about it, she followed them and told them that she was going to the bathroom.
When Gu Ling saw this, he followed.
Backstage, Cheng Zhou hurried to Xia Nian's side, held her arm and looked her up and down, and asked worriedly: "Niannian, are you injured anywhere?"
He knew that there was no scene in the play where the knight and the princess slayed the dragon together. It was purely an accident. Fortunately, nothing happened.
Xia Nian said, "I'm fine." Her eyes were not on him at all. After she stepped down from the stage, she was clearly staring at Xia Houyu, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'm glad you're okay." Cheng Zhou said.
Xia Nian pulled her hand away. There were a lot of people backstage now, so she decided to change her clothes later. Now she wanted to find Xia Hou Yu. For some reason, she really wanted to see him.
Without waiting for Cheng Zhou to ask, Xia Nian walked out of the room quickly. Since she was not here, she should be outside. From the backstage, you can go to the back of the auditorium, where there is a garden.
After opening the door, Xia Nian saw a person sitting on the chair in front of him. He had taken off his helmet. It was obviously Xia Hou Yu.
Xia Nian walked forward holding up her skirt and called softly, "Xia Houyu."
Hearing the voice, Xiahou Yu stood up, pushed his messy hair back, and let it hang down in a mischievous manner.
"Why are you here?" Xia Nian asked.
Xiahou Yu approached her, stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "Why? Because I know Her Royal Highness the Princess will come to see me."
Xia Nian looked at his cynical look, and the remaining fear disappeared. "Thank you for being on the stage just now. If it weren't for you, I might have been in trouble."
Hearing this, Xiahou Yu's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He had just come out to contact someone to investigate. This matter was not that simple.
But Xia Nian had just experienced something like that, and he didn't want to scare her, so he smiled and bent down: "Then how will Your Highness, the Princess, repay me?"
Xia Nian pinched her skirt tightly. She felt like she could never repay what she owed Xia Hou Yu.
"You say it. The same thing as before. As long as you don't touch my bottom line, it's fine." Xia Nian said.
Xiahou Yu took her hand, and a breeze blew, causing the hem of her skirt and her hair to fly up. Xia Nian felt his fingers gently stroking the back of her hand, but she did not pull them away.
Xiahou Yu raised his hand to his lips and kissed it gently. Xia Nian instantly felt as if she was burned. Xiahou Yu said, "This is a reward. After all, I am a knight tonight. The last rule of chivalry is to be loyal to the one you love until death."
As he said this, he put down his hand. Xia Nian was completely stunned and just nodded.
Xiahou Yu lowered his head to look at her and said with a smile: "Your Highness the Princess seems shy."
Xia Nian turned around and asked with some stammering: "You, you didn't participate in the performance?"
Xiahou Yu said, "I don't feel comfortable handing my princess over to someone else." He said the joking words in a serious tone, and Xia Nian couldn't tell what he was thinking for a moment.
Only Xiahou Yu knew that the man was him, but he was in disguise. He wanted to give Xia Nian a surprise, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident.
Xia Nian recalled the scene at that time. The balcony was several meters above the ground. How did Xia Houyu jump so high and catch her accurately before dropping her down?
"Xiahou Yu, why can you jump so high? And when you caught me, was your arm injured?" Xia Nian said, looking back and forth at him.
Xiahou Yu raised his arm and said, "It's OK, because I know Qinggong. You are so thin, I can hold you up with one hand."
This reminded Xia Nian that the balcony was made by a professional prop master, so why did it suddenly break? Even her weight could not bear it.
"Yes, then why did the balcony suddenly break?" Xia Nian whispered.
Xiahou Yu asked: "Do you think this is just an ordinary accident?"
Xia Nian shook her head and nodded again: "The teacher checked the props yesterday and there was no problem. Why did something go wrong today? But if it wasn't an accident, who would want to harm me?"
Who does she have such a big hatred against that she dares to do such a thing in school?
Suddenly, Xiahou Yu reached out and hugged her.
Fifteen-year-old Anian is more childish than her twenty-something self, but still calm. This is related to her growing environment. He cannot change the past, but after that, he will not let go of anything that hurt her.
"Xia Hou Yu, you--" Xia Nian raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.
Xiahou Yu smiled and said cheekily: "This can be considered as a reward."
Xia Nian was helpless, but did not push him away.
Xiahou Yu became more and more aggressive and held her for a long time before letting go.
He looked at the sky and said, "The moonlight is beautiful. Your Highness, please do us a favor and go for a walk."
Xia Nian said, "Speak nicely." After that, she raised her leg and walked forward in the direction of the garden.
Xiahou Yu chased after him and said, "Let's talk it over nicely."
Meng Yin quietly followed Ding Zhinuo and Yao Lin. Because the stage play was over and everyone came out, the two people in front did not notice that there was someone behind them.
The two of them walked around and entered a classroom. Meng Yin thought to herself that this was not good because she would not be able to hear anything at all.
Gu Ling held her hand and whispered, "Ayin, I know what you are thinking."
His eyes were determined, and Meng Yin subconsciously believed him. Gu Ling picked up Meng Yin and went to the other side of the classroom.
Inside the room, Ding Zhinuo kicked the bench and said, "It's fine now. Xia Nian can still continue dancing in the future!"
Yao Lin comforted him, "It's okay, Zhinuo. She was just lucky this time. As long as we are still in school, we have a chance."
Ding Zhinuo's face turned ugly. She sat on the chair, clenched her fists, and her knuckles began to turn white.
"But...what if I'm discovered? I don't want to think about it anymore...let it go."
Yao Lin thought for a moment and said, "Zhinuo, she is just an orphan and has no backing. If something happens, the school will suppress it. But you are different, and you were not the one who did this in the first place."
Ding Zhinuo bit her lip. It was indeed not her who did it, but it was indeed her who arranged for someone to do it. It would be much more difficult to do it again in the future.
Seeing that she was worried, Yao Lin continued to persuade her: "You have the Ding family behind you, she can't compare, but she was really dazzling on the stage tonight, the teachers below were all staring at her, I envy her."
Ding Zhinuo stood up suddenly and said, "You are right. The Ding family is behind me. What can they do to me? Besides, she is fine. It is normal if something unexpected happens during dance practice in the future."
Yao Lin smiled and nodded, "So don't worry."
Outside the door, Gu Ling told Meng Yin what he had heard.
They spoke in a very low voice and there was no surveillance in the classroom. Gu Ling was a martial artist with extraordinary hearing, and he told Meng Yin everything he heard.
Meng Yin glanced at the classroom in disbelief, his fingers unconsciously grasping the tree trunk.
Gu Ling held her wrist and said, "Ayin, calm down. What do you want to do?"
What to do? Meng Yin's eyes turned into resentment. To be honest, the darkest thought in her mind was to kill them, but that was absolutely impossible here. Now they could only arrest them first and then find evidence.
She said that she felt something was wrong with that person, but she didn't expect that this so-called accident was all her design! Thinking of Xia Nian's shaky figure on the stage, Meng Yin hated her so much that she wanted to kill him.
She clenched her fists and said to Gu Ling, "Catch them both!"
