Granted, this wasn't a battlefield with bullets flying everywhere, but it was a standoff between cops and criminals, and the strongest land animal on the planet had just gone on a rampage.
Staging a Romeo and Juliet-esque reunion at a time like this felt a little inappropriate.
But Shen Xin didn't care.
She had been missing for a full eighteen hours.
So he hugged her!
However, Shen Xin's sudden, full-throttle approach was the first thing to startle Ding Yuwei.
Her body tensed up instantly; she never expected Shen Xin to pull something like this.
'They'd been good friends for so long. She had been in danger, and he was just relieved she was finally safe. A hug out of sheer excitement... that seemed understandable.'
'But he seemed to be holding her a little too tight, and for a little too long.'
'It just felt...'
A woman's intuition is a sensitive thing. Feeling the strength in Shen Xin's arms, Ding Yuwei's heart began to pound traitorously.
