Lu Yinan bolted after her and shouted, "Zhou Shuang, listen to me!"
Regardless of whether Zhou Shuang had the wrong idea about the woman earlier on or not, he wanted to explain.
Zhou Shuang hastened her footsteps when she heard Lu Yinan's voice.
"Don't run! You might fall."
Having long legs was an advantage, and Lu Yinan caught up with Zhou Shuang just before she reached the room. He grabbed her arm tightly.
He was afraid that she would struggle so he pressed her firmly against the wall. He then gripped her shoulders and looked at her squarely. "I don't know the woman and she merely said hello and sat across me. Out of courtesy, I just replied and said hi."
"You need not explain to me," Zhou Shuang replied nonchalantly. "The air-conditioning wasn't working in my room. So I went downstairs to get the staff to check for me."
How she regretted her impulse to check if he was really freezing at the staircase landing.
