Shui Miaomiao tried to stand up immediately, but she felt an excruciating pain in her ankle.
Even if she tried to run, she couldn’t possibly outrun the man who was after her.
When Shui Miaomiao was panicking, she heard a bantering voice.
“Shui Miaomiao, you’d rather walk in this dark, tree-lined alley instead of the bright, broad road, are you trying to experience life peculiarly?”
Shui Miaomiao looked up.
Shen Mochen stood under a street light with his arms crossed over his chest. A smile decorated his lips.
The dim street light enveloped him, forming a mysterious white glow around him. He looked like he had just descended from heaven.
“Shen Mochen!” Shui Miaomiao did not even have time to figure out why he was there. She got to her feet and rushed towards him.
However, she walked way too fast, and her body was out of her control, she tripped over her own two feet and fell forward.
Worry flashed in Shen Mochen’s eyes; he hurried forward.
Just as Shui Miaomiao fell right into his arms, he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Finally, Shui Miaomiao was able to steady herself.
His elegant scent filled her nostrils. His warmth was transferred to her body through his palm on her waist.
A blush instantly crept onto her face.
She was not used to being so close to a man.
Shui Miaomiao pushed his hands away, and her face hardened, “Thank you!” she said.
Shen Mochen’s pitch-black eyes flashed as they bore deeply into her, “You don’t look thankful at all. If it did not come from your heart, then forget it!”
Shen Mochen turned around and started to walk away.
Shui Miaomiao turned and looked behind her, vigilantly scanning the alley.
The man in the leather jacket was nowhere to be seen. He might have run away.
Nevertheless, she was worried that he might still be spying on her and would continue to follow her.
She was limping and couldn’t run fast. Moreover, cars were not allowed in the alley. If that pervert reappeared, no one would be able to help her.
