You Mingxu's ears were buzzing so loudly that she could hear nothing. The ground shook under her feet, and all she could see was a pair of eyes staring at her.
They were eyes of uncommon tranquility, shining with warmth, capable of soothing the heart in an instant.
Debris from the explosion descended upon them like a downpour. Yet You Mingxu found herself safe in a strong, solid embrace, surrounded by the comforting smell of his body and the sight of his chest. Then she felt his body shudder slightly, but he remained silent.
Jing Ping had protected her throughout.
This was a new experience for You Mingxu. As a law enforcement officer, she was always used to protecting her partners. She was tough, and she felt a need to protect others. She had shielded other cops, You Yingjun, and even once Xu Mengshan. At the blast, her first instinct was to protect Jing Ping.
But unexpectedly, he was faster than her, and shielded her instead.
