Whoosh—She accidentally stepped into a pit, and the sudden loss of footing made her lose balance. Her mind in a whirl, she, poor thing, tilted magnificently towards the ground.
Ah!
Her body shook, and she screamed reflexively.
Finished!
Failing at a critical moment again…
In the middle of her dizziness, as she was about to make an ungraceful contact with the ground, she saw the drunken man in front of her lunge forth agilely, moving as fast as lightning, his moves akin to those of a martial arts expert. A black shadow flashed, and he steadied her waist with a firm grip…
Spinning, retreating...
Her waist arched backwards, while he leaned forward…
Tsk!
This scene was like something out of a cheesy TV drama, and had the backdrop been a riverside scattered with flower petals or a leisurely wilderness, it would have been a scene straight out of a romantic novel. But here, in the uneven shantytown, amidst heaps of trash… the atmosphere, well, it was just a bit off.
Phew!
