Forget Ji Xinyan— even if Lin Baici had been hit by a whip kick from a burly man trained in kickboxing...
Lin Baici still wouldn't have budged an inch.
But when you were with a girl, you couldn't be completely clueless about romance, so Lin Baici deliberately cried out and pretended he'd lost his balance, staggering backward.
"Watch out!"
Liu Zilu was startled and immediately lunged forward to catch Lin Baici.
But Lin Baici suddenly stopped, and Liu Zilu was the one who stumbled, her foot slipping as she crashed into him.
Bang!
Lin Baici reacted quickly, wrapping an arm around Liu Zilu's waist and steadying her.
"Zilu, are you all right?"
"Did you twist your ankle?"
Tao Nai and Bai Jiao asked with concern.

Xu Jiaqi thought Liu Zilu had overestimated herself. Besides, judging from the balance Lin Baici had shown while climbing the steps, there was no way he'd simply fallen on level ground.
Lin Baici had just been playfully flirting with Ji Xinyan, teasing her on purpose.
Xu Jiaqi had practiced gymnastics as a child. From Lin Baici's posture and the way he walked, she could tell he didn't just work out—he'd definitely trained in other things, too.

Liu Zilu quickly stole a glance at Ji Xinyan. Seeing that Ji Xinyan wasn't looking at her, she breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, Ji Xinyan had already finished sighing inwardly and composed her expression.
A roommate and best friend liking the guy she liked—what a mess.
Thankfully, Lin Baici
