As she spoke, she stood up, trying to take a chance to step away from her idol to catch a breath.
But just as she had stood up, before she could even take a step, her wrist hanging by her side was grabbed.
Xia Xing's large hand yanked her wrist. The girl's wrist was very slender, almost as if he would break it with just a bit more force.
Xia Xing was thinking about something else and didn't realize how alarming this action was to the girl in front of him!
"About that, I should probably explain."
Gu Mingzhi's body stiffened in place, unable to move, only mechanically nodding her head: "Oh."
Xia Xing looked up at her and explained again why he had told Mrs. Gu he liked her.
He thought Gu Mingzhi might be upset, but she wasn't. She just "oh"ed again, as if repeating the sound from before.
Xia Xing: "I used you as a shield, sorry."
Gu Mingzhi: "Oh."
Xia Xing: "..."
