Xu Ke spoke as he stepped down hard, pinning the person who was just about to get up back to the ground.
Lin Mengyao placed the freshly grilled item she had just prepared to the side and rushed to Yu Xia's side, enveloping her in a hug as she frantically checked her up and down. Her voice trembled with anxiety as she asked, "Are you okay? You're not hurt, right? I shouldn't have left you here alone. You should've stayed by my side; otherwise, this bastard wouldn't have had a chance. It's my fault." Lin Mengyao felt deeply remorseful about her earlier decision.
"Sister, this isn't your fault, and I'm fine. I was just scared, really, I'm okay." Yu Xia sniffled, trying to comfort the frightened Lin Mengyao. Even though she also felt a bit scared, seeing Lin Mengyao more frightened than herself made her feel less alarmed about her own experience.
The atmosphere with Lin Mengyao and Yu Xia was tender, while Xu Ke's side was much more brutal.
