Seeing Chen Mo holding Xiao Yu, the scene was startling but ultimately safe, and applause immediately erupted.

The bride, Qian Qian, seeing it was Chen Mo and Xiao Yu, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This was an accident. Thankfully, Xiao Yu was caught by Chen Mo. If she had really fallen in front of everyone, the scene would have been very awkward.

After thinking for a moment, Qian Qian quickly snatched the microphone from the host.

"Hero, give the beauty a kiss."

At this moment, Xiao Yu was holding the bouquet and was in Chen Mo's arms. Coupled with the bride's words, the crowd immediately burst into cheers.

"Kiss her!" "Kiss her!"

Xiao Yu's face instantly turned crimson, and she stared intently at Chen Mo: "Not here."

Only Chen Mo could hear her words, but everyone's eyes were on them at this moment.

"No...Wuwu...Wuwu."

The scene was immediately surrounded by cheers and applause, a lively atmosphere.

Even after the wedding ended and Xiao Yu left by Chen Mo's side, her face was still flushed. The scene just now was embarrassing to think about; she couldn't even imagine something like that happening.

"Were you doing that on purpose just now?" Xiao Yu hugged Chen Mo's arm, her eyes a little unfriendly.

"It wasn't my fault you fell. If I hadn't caught you, you would have fallen in front of so many people. Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"I'm talking about you kissing me."

When Xiao Yu said this, her face still held a hint of shyness. Given their relationship, kissing was normal, but having so many people watching this time made her very uncomfortable.

"The bride knows about our relationship, that's why she said that to defuse the awkwardness of the situation. Plus, the atmosphere was so lively, and today is a joyous day, I couldn't very well be a killjoy."

"You bad guy."

Regarding Chen Mo's explanation, Xiao Yu snorted lightly, feeling that what he said made some sense.

After taking Xiao Yu back, Chen Mo looked around. This seemed to be the neighborhood where his aunt lived.

Should he go up and visit his aunt?

However, thinking about his aunt wanting to introduce a girl to him, Chen Mo immediately dismissed the idea. He wasn't so desperate as to need a blind date, and he already had Xiao Yu. Refusing directly would be difficult to explain to his aunt, so for the time being, his aunt's house was off-limits.

"Xiao Yu, did the wedding go smoothly today?" As soon as Xiao Yu walked in, Shao Zhen, who was watching TV, asked.

"It went very smoothly. I saw a lot of old classmates I hadn't seen in years. Where's Uncle Zhang?" Xiao Yu put down her bag and sat on the sofa as well.

"He went out drinking with friends. Have you started your internship?" Shao Zhen asked.

"After the New Year, I'll start my internship," Xiao Yu nodded.

"What kind of work? Where?"

"I got a job at a good company. I should be working in the finance department, but the specifics depend on the arrangement. It's in Bin Hai City," Xiao Yu replied truthfully.

"Binhai University, right? What a coincidence, I have a nephew who also goes to Binhai University. He's in the same year as you and is also in Bin Hai City. Would you like me to introduce you? That way, if you encounter any difficulties with work or life in Bin Hai City, you'll have someone to look out for you."

"Is that so?" Xiao Yu smiled wryly in her heart.

How could she refuse? Aunt Zhen was just saying she would introduce someone to her so she would have someone to look out for her in the future. She wasn't saying anything else, and it was a kind gesture, impossible to refuse.

"Since he's Aunt Zhen's nephew and a classmate, there's no harm in getting to know him," Xiao Yu agreed reluctantly.

"Okay, then I'll have him come over tomorrow."

"A'Mo, help me take some pastries to your aunt's house tomorrow." As soon as Chen Mo walked through the door, his mother called out to him.

"You're kidding, right?"

Chen Mo knew his mother's plan. How could he refuse when she asked him to deliver something? Countless methods flashed through Chen Mo's mind, but they were all immediately discarded.

"You can't be bothered now?"

"Okay, I'll go." Chen Mo immediately gave in.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo was woken up and chased out of the house by his mother with the New Year's cake. Before leaving, she didn't forget to tell Chen Mo to wear a handsome outfit.

Walking to his aunt's door, Chen Mo thought for a moment and dialed Xiao Yu's number.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room of her room, watching TV with Aunt Zhen. When her phone rang, she grabbed it like a lifeline.

"Aunt Zhen, I'm going to take a call."

After saying that, she walked into the room.

"Xiao Yu, call me back in two minutes. It's an emergency," Chen Mo said as soon as the call connected.

"What happened?" Xiao Yu asked in confusion.

"I'll tell you when I have a chance. Remember, in two minutes. I'm hanging up now."

After ending the call, Chen Mo walked to his aunt's door and knocked. After a moment, the door opened, and the first thing Chen Mo saw was his aunt's smiling face.

"Aunt Zhen, Mom asked me to bring you some pastries, the kind Xin Xin likes."

"Come in quickly."

Aunt Zhen took the pastry box from his hand and pulled him inside.

"Aunt Zhen, is Xin Xin back?" Chen Mo sat down on the sofa and turned up the volume on his phone.

"No, a little niece came. She just went into the room, she'll be out in a bit."

Xiao Yu, who was about to leave the room, stopped when she heard someone come in. She pressed her ear against the door, listening to what was happening outside.

Suddenly, Xiao Yu blinked. This voice sounded a little familiar. She gently opened the door and peeked through the gap, seeing Chen Mo sitting on the sofa. Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.

As if remembering something, Xiao Yu started to smile happily. Finally, she climbed onto the bed and lay on the quilt, laughing uncontrollably.

Aunt Zhen's nephew from Binhai University was Chen Mo.

She suddenly understood why Chen Mo had contacted her just now and asked her to call him in two minutes. It turned out he also knew what was about to happen and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

But Chen Mo didn't know that the person he was about to meet was her.

Xiao Yu was laughing so hard she was shaking. This was too much of a coincidence. This scoundrel said she would be dragged into a blind date when she went home, and it turned out he was also dragged here. Just thinking about Chen Mo's awkward situation made Xiao Yu want to laugh.

After getting up from the bed, Xiao Yu sat in front of the dressing table, looking at the time on her phone and smiling happily. She wanted to see what method he would use to escape if she didn't call him.

"I'll go call her out. You two can get to know each other, you're both young people. She also studies and works in Binhai City," Aunt Zhen said, then walked towards the room.

"Xiao Yu, my nephew is here. Why don't you come out and chat with him?"

"Aunt Zhen, well, I need to put on some makeup and change clothes. I'm dressed too casually like this, it's not good," Xiao Yu said with a smile.

"Oh, okay." Hearing Xiao Yu's answer, Aunt Zhen immediately beamed.

After seeing Aunt Zhen leave, Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and dialed Chen Mo's number.

Outside the living room, Chen Mo was a little flustered, completely lacking his usual composure. He was praying in his heart that Xiao Yu would call quickly, otherwise, when the person came out, the situation would be awkward.

"She's putting on makeup and changing clothes. You can watch TV, it'll only be a few minutes."

"Okay." Chen Mo's smile was a little forced.

Suddenly, his phone rang, making Chen Mo's spirits lift. He quickly answered.

"Hello, Chen Mo, where are you?"

"What? In the hospital? I'll be right there, wait for me." Chen Mo turned to Aunt Zhen and said, "Aunt Zhen, something happened to my friend, he's at the hospital. I need to go there right away. I'll come back next time, goodbye, Aunt Zhen."

With that, he grabbed his phone and ran out, looking anxious, which left Aunt Zhen stunned. Not only Aunt Zhen, but even Xiao Yu on the other end of the phone was stunned.

"Xiao Yu, I'm at the place where I dropped you off last night. Come down, let's go out and have some fun."

After escaping from Aunt Zhen's house, Chen Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off some sweat.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was suppressing a laugh, really wanting to burst out laughing.

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yu changed into a different outfit and tidied herself up before leaving the room. As soon as she went out, she saw a rather unhappy Aunt Zhen.

"Xiao Yu, my nephew had an urgent matter and just left. I'll introduce you to him next time."

"It's okay, Aunt Zhen. Give me his contact information, I'll contact him."

"Oh, good, good, good." Aunt Zhen immediately beamed. "This is his phone number, his name is Chen Mo, and here's his photo."

"He's quite handsome, I must meet him next time." After seeing Chen Mo's photo, Xiao Yu smiled.

"He's very good, he goes to the same school as you and is developing in Binhai City. You two should keep in touch, you can look out for each other."

"Since he has an urgent matter, and I also made plans with a friend, I'll go out for a bit too."

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zhen, Xiao Yu left. Seeing Chen Mo, Xiao Yu started to laugh. Thinking about how awkward Chen Mo looked when he ran away just now, she couldn't help herself.

"What's so funny?" Chen Mo asked.

"Do you believe in fate?" Xiao Yu linked her arm through Chen Mo's and walked towards the street.

"Of course I do, otherwise I wouldn't have met you," Chen Mo said.

"Yes, it's quite fated."

Remembering what happened just now, Xiao Yu laughed again.
