The razor-sharp knife tip was about to pierce Xiyan’s back.
In a split second, Ou Jue, who had already reacted, sprang up with a graceful spin kick, landing it hard on the burly man’s stomach!
"Ah—" The burly man scread in pain, the dagger fell to the ground, and he covered his stomach in agony.
Soone nearby shouted, "Soone’s been hurt!"
All the passersby fled in panic, and the burly man feigned madness, picked up the dagger, let Ou Jue and Xiyan go, and then swung the knife at other innocent passersby.
The surrounding area instantly beca chaotic.
Ou Jue had no mind to chase after the burly man, his dark eyes glanced at Xiyan, who was struggling to get up from the ground.
He directly helped Xiyan up, raising his voice slightly, "Fool, were you trying to get yourself killed just now?!"
If he hadn’t reacted quickly, maybe that knife would already be stabbing into this woman.
By then...
Just thinking about it makes Ou Jue feel a lingering fear.
Xiyan’s expression was wooden as she shook off his hand, "Let go of ."
Ou Jue didn’t let go, but instead grasped her even tighter, his eyes scanning her, "Did you get hurt anywhere?"
"It’s none of your business." Xiyan’s tone remained icy cold.
As if that mont of selflessness was just an illusion.
Ou Jue’s eyes fixed on her, pressing her to his chest, finally sighing softly, his voice husky, "Why are you so foolish?"
In that split second, to save him, this woman actually used her body to shield him.
Ou Jue hugged her tighter and tighter, as if he wished to embed her into his own body.
But his actions seed to have completely angered Xiyan.
Just a mont ago, he was chatting fervently with Anna, and now he was saying such words to her.
Heh.
Xiyan, sowhat angrily, pushed him away, "I told you to let go of . Why are you hugging? If you were moved by my actions just now, then I advise you to save it. I only pushed you away to repay the favor of you saving my life before. Now, we’re completely even!"
After speaking, Xiyan turned and walked away.
"Anna didn’t call out." Ou Jue was worried about angering this young girl, so he kept his eyes on her, "I ca out because I’ve been on the phone with my team the whole ti. Then Anna ca over out of nowhere and she’d just said a word when you bumped into us."
He didn’t know how Anna found him.
Nor did he know why it just so happened that Xiyan saw it.
Making her misunderstand again...
Ou Jue’s voice was hoarse beyond asure, "I’m telling the truth."
"Oh, really." Xiyan didn’t look back, "What does it have to do with ?
Ou Jue, from now on, we’re completely even.
Don’t follow , or I’ll run to a place where you’ll never find !"
The girl walked away completely.
For the first ti, Ou Jue felt such intense pain in his heart.
Watching her distant figure, he was powerless.
Beside him, Anna remained silent throughout, as if still in shock from the earlier horrifying incident.
Her eyes were vacant, lost in thought.
-
On the surface, everything seed calm, but Xiyan knew her heart was aching intensely.
