Han Dongchen instinctively took a step forward, pulled Su Xiaowan to his side, quickly removed his coat to wrap her in it, as if afraid of others coveting her.
This action of Han Dongchen stirred the young soldiers to start teasing, with whistles and jeers heard all around.
Even some brave young soldiers took the opportunity to shout loudly, "Kiss her! Kiss her!"
What fearless ones they were! Hearing someone yell it out loud, they all joined in with their own shouts. Nobody could be held responsible in such a large group, after all, they were boys in their teens or twenties, the age when they loved to join in on all the fun.
Due to their collective teasing, Su Xiaowan's face turned bright red. She had never experienced such an incident, and her heart was practically leaping out of her throat.
Han Dongchen wasn't doing much better. Although his dark complexion masked his blush, his expression seemed unnatural, and his ears were red too.
