She was not seeing things; this was really happening. Feng Tianlan couldn't help but call out in a faint voice, "Si Mobai!"
Si Mobai held her tightly in his arms, but without hurting her. His chin rested lightly on her hair. He wanted her to feel as secure as possible. He spoke as gently as he could, but he was still a bit stiff and cold. "I'm here, you don't have to be scared."
These subtle gestures made Feng Tianlan's heart skip a beat, and she blinked her long eyelashes several times.
She could hear the roar of the wind as they fell but did not feel it because he shielded her so well. The large palms that held her were so warm they could have scalded her. Her face was so close to his chest that she could hear the sound of a heart beating very fast.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The heartbeat was so fast. It was like something was trapped inside and trying to come out. But she wasn't sure—was this the sound of her heart or his?
