Chapter 264 - Encounter (2/2)
Baili Han’s gaze turned serious and just as he was about to go over to save the child, he saw the young maiden who was giving him directions remove a golden whip from her waist. With a light wave of her hand, the tail of the whip coiled around the waist of the little child who was standing in the middle of the road. And then, Lan Xinyu tugged the whip and the child flew out of the way and through the air. Lan Xinyu reached out a hand to catch the child. Her actions were precise and neat! It was just a matter of a split second and yet she was able to successfully save the child.
The coachman also slowly managed to regain control and then alighted to deal with the aftermath.
By the side of the road, Lan Xinyu was hugging the child as she said with a smile, “Little brother, are you all right?”
“Elder sister, to fly high, high, I like it!” exclaimed the child happily with a smile, not at all scared by what had happened just now because he thought Lan Xinyu was playing with him.
“Next time, you must not stand in the middle of the road like that, all right?” admonished Lan Xinyu gently as she pat the little child’s head with a smile.
“All right,” said the little child, nodding without fully understanding the situation before the father of the child came running over nervously. There was a stick of glazed hawthorns in his hand. Obviously, it was bought for the child, but in a moment of carelessness, the child had already run off into danger.
“Thank you, truly, thank you. Miss, really, thank you so much,” said the father of the child, profusely thanking Lan Xinyu.
“Next time, don’t be so careless. Don’t let your child leave your sight. He is still so young and is unable to protect himself,” lectured Lan Xinyu somewhat coldly.
The father of the child nodded nonstop and finally left hugging the child after expressing his thanks a thousand times. The child poked his head out of the folds of his father’s robe, struggling to wave goodbye to Lan Xinyu. Lan Xinyu also smiled and waved back.
