Aside from the whooshing wind, the only sound was her own frantic heartbeat!
Just then, she suddenly collided with a firm chest! She was moving so fast that when the man caught her, he couldn't help but step back.
As she tried to struggle, a pair of strong arms enveloped her entirely, drawing her into an embrace!
"It's okay, Zhixi, it's me!" A low and trembling voice resonated deeply by her ear, exuding an everlasting warmth, instantly relaxing her tense nerves.
All strength seemed to drain from her body.
Sensations seemed to return in an instant; she heard the sound of someone hitting the ground heavily, the crazed cursing of Chen Jianguo, and the sobbing of men and women as if they had just survived a great ordeal.
The arms around her continued to tremble gently, holding her tightly as if the slightest loosening might cause her to disappear.
Zhixi slowly lifted her head, but could only see the man's jaw clenched to the utmost.
