His body and arms formed a small enclosed space, shielding her perfectly inside, away from the surrounding gazes.
Shi Nian looked up and tried to smile, "Thank you."
He bent his neck and whispered beside her, "See the advantage of having me by your side, right? Hmm, from now on, do whatever you want; leave the rest to me."
She suddenly looked up at him, eyes filled with surprise and--bewilderment.
He suppressed the sigh within his heart.
She still didn't understand why he said this. Instead, she might even be frightened by his confession.
She was even more unsure--why she had such an obsessive concern about Tong's wife as a topic.
She couldn't tolerate girls getting hurt, just like once it happened to herself.
With people crowding the elevator, he refrained from reaching out again to cover her eyes. The way she looked always stirred up his emotions, making him want--to kiss her.
He sighed and supported her elbow.
