Before he could counterattack her chaotic but effective cat-like punches, a male force knocked him backward.
The burly man fell to the ground like a pile of mud, crying in pain.
With the restraint gone, Xiao Chu was relieved but knew she would soon fall freely.
She couldn’t be bothered to save herself, lowering her eyes. Let her fall, she thought—
Huh? Had she become a jellyfish that could float? Otherwise, why hadn’t the expected pain arrived?
She kicked her feet. She was still suspended in mid-air.
Strange. Kicking harder, she seemed to hit something, and a muffled “Oh” sound came from above her head.
This sound definitely wasn’t from the intruder’s cry.
She suddenly opened her eyes to see a handsome and familiar male face before her.
“First time we met, you left your five-claw mark on me, making me lose face in front of the whole world.”
He slightly furrowed his brow, his tone both laughing and not, making his thoughts unreadable.
“Second time we met, you kicked me in the groin, making me worry about the future of my offspring.
His arms were warm, supporting her with a warm strength that penetrated her heart like never before. Xiao Chu looked around and realized he had steadied her arms just in time.
”It’s you!” She glared at Wei Zhenghai, her tone fierce. “Put me down.”
He followed her instructions and withdrew his hands.
She stood back on the ground, almost unable to believe that standing on solid ground felt less comforting than his touch – this was completely unlike Qiu Xiaochu’s usual style! The heat from his palms made her feel a slight sense of attachment.
Attachment? Her heart trembled.
No way! This was just an illusion caused by her low body temperature, low blood pressure, and low blood sugar.
That’s right, exactly!
Nevertheless, she was still annoyed. “Why are you butting in?”
He shrugged.
If he hadn’t seen someone harassing her in the window’s reflection, he wouldn’t have rushed in so impulsively. He typically avoided interactions with people who knew him well while he knew nothing about them.
