1789 She Blushed Instantly
“What are you doing?”
It was then that Long Yin’s voice could be heard behind her. She was startled by it and stood up.
Hexin was about to turn when she stepped on something and lost her footing. She exclaimed as she fell backward.
Splash! She fell into the water.
Everything happened too fast and Long Yin, who was sitting on the rock, could not grab her in time.
However, he had reacted quite fast and was already running toward her as she was falling and managed to pull her out of the water.
Hexin was in a daze. Her face was dripping with water and she was drenched from head to toe.
Long Yin could not help bursting into laughter when he saw her that way. He reached out to rub her head and was feeling fortunate as he said, “It’s lucky that the water isn’t deep. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to save you in time. Everything happened too suddenly.”
Hexin pressed her lips when she heard this and plained with slight anger, “How could you laugh at me when I’m looking this way?”
“I’ll stop laughing.” Long Yin stopped laughing and he looked down. When he saw the slender shape of her body, the look in his eyes darkened, but he averted his gaze politely and pulled her hand to help her onto the shore.
“Achoo!” There was a gale of wind and Hexin could not help sneezing.
Long Yin quickly picked up the robe he had left at the side and put it on her.
“I don’t need it.” She put up her hand to stop him.
“Are you sure?” Long Yin raised an eyebrow.
“I’m not cold,” Hexin said stubbornly.
“It’s not a matter if you’re cold or not,” Long Yin said gently.
“Then what is it about?” Hexin was taken aback and lowered her head to look.
When she saw her wet dress sticking close to her body, she blushed instantly and understood what he meant.
She was almost snatching the robe from his hands as she grabbed it over and covered herself tightly. She was almost burning with embarrassment and did not dare lift up her head.
Long Yin smiled and put on his inner garment. “Let’s go.”
“Aren’t we waiting for Qi Heng?” Hexin asked.
“Nope. Let’s head back first. You need to change into some dry clothes or you’ll end up getting sick.”
“Alright.” Hexin followed behind him and headed toward the direction of the camp.
She had just taken a few steps when she almost tripped by stepping onto the corner of the robe, which was dragging on the ground. Lucky for her that Long Yin managed to catch her.
Hexin was a little embarrassed as she stared blankly at the tips of her toes. “This robe is too long.”
“You’re right, but it’s fine. I’ll help you along.” Long Yin did not let go, but took the opportunity to hold her hand.
Hexin felt a little unfortable and tried to pull her hand away. “There’s no need for that. I can walk on my own.”
“Just listen to me! The sky is getting dark. If we delay this any further, we won’t be able to see the road in front,” Long Yin said a little sternly.
Hexin stopped objecting any further when she saw him being this way and she let him hold her hand while talking.
“I wasn’t mad at you on purpose,” Long Yin suddenly said. He did not turn back and continued holding her hand as he walked ahead steadily.
“Okay,” Hexin replied and did not say anything else.
When he saw her humoring him, Long Yin turned to glance at her. “Just say whatever is on your mind. There’s no need to keep it to yourself.”
Hexin was silent for a moment before saying, “There’s nothing I want to say.”
“Hmm?”
Hexin paused a moment and looked at his handsome face from the side. She said a little awkwardly, “Thank you for saving me just now, Big Bro Long Yin.”
“Are you being sincere about it?”
“Of course.” Hexin sighed and she began to relax a little. “If you hadn’t shielded me from that arrow, who knows what would have happened to me. I’m really grateful to you for it!”
