The next thing Wen Xinya knew after hearing Si Yiyan’s high-pitched screech, she was pulled into his embrace and spun around continuously. However, she could hear the loud, crisp sounds of the knife being swung around. All of a sudden, she was overwhelmed with an excruciating pain.
Si Yiyan carried Wen Xinya in his arms and kicked Shen Mengting away.
Shen Mengting fell onto the ground with a loud thud and her skull cracked, causing blood to ooze out of her mouth continuously. Her gray eyes were wide open and she looked extremely terrifying.
Si Yiyan hurriedly looked down at Wen Xinya. She was as pale as a ghost and her body was quaking uncontrollably like an injured b.u.t.terfly. He could see the fear and terror in her eyes. Even her rosy lips had turned pale, just like a withered flower…
“Xinya, are you alright!?!” Si Yiyan shrieked, breaking out into cold sweat. His dark, narrow eyes were full of horror.
“I’m alright. Don’t worry,” said Wen Xinya, who finally felt much calmer than before. She burst into tears and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, showing him her most vulnerable side.
Si Yiyan felt much more relieved and the tension within him eased up. “Thank G.o.d you’re alright!”
Although he had already protected her from the danger, he was still extremely nervous and could not put at his mind at ease until he heard that she was alright. It was as if time stopped just now. It was such a close shave…
The knife was just a millimeter away from her stomach…
Had he been a second slower…
At the thought of the dangerous encounter, he tightened his grip around Wen Xinya and tried to comfort himself.
Seemingly having sensed his feelings of fear, she hugged him even more tightly and said softly, “Si Yiyan, I’m really alright! I didn’t get wounded nor did I get a fright!”
Si Yiyan kissed her forehead gently and said, “I know!”
Wen Xinya rubbed his chest gently and said, “Si Yiyan, I was actually really afraid just now. It was the first time that I realized how terrifying death is. The knowledge and wisdom that I’ve gained from school are not enough to save me from danger. Neither are the self-defense skills that I have picked up previously. At that moment, as she swung the knife around me, time seemed to have stopped and I froze from head to toe, completely helpless and vulnerable.”
Her voice was shaky and hoa.r.s.e. Extremely upset to see how weak and pale she was, Si Yiyan said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
