The sun shone on her smooth, white and tender face. Li Rui stood pretending to be scared. Her eyes flickered with surprise on seeing that this time the arrow was really aimed at her. She closed her eyes as she calmly waited for the coming arrow.
It had to be done or else something else might happen in the future that she perhaps can't afford.
The arrow never came. It never hit her. Instead of the arrow what came was the shout.
"Young Miss…."
Then followed the sound of something hitting the ground.
Li Rui's body trembled a little. She didn't wish to open her eyes. She recognized this voice but she didn't have the courage to see what would be in her sight after opening her eyes.
But she knew there was no escape from this.
Her eyelashes trembled as she opened her eyes.
Xi Ying heard the shout and swiftly turned around. A wave of relief washed over him. Rui was safe and unharmed.
