Ming Mei's self-criticism simply vanished.
All she needed was to act coy, and Kang Chen's resolve crumbled to pieces almost instantaneously.
Now, his mind was filled with thoughts of comforting Ming Mei, leaving no room for discipline.
Kang Chen tweaked Ming Mei's nose lightly as he advised, "You mustn't do this again, you hear? It's dangerous."
Ming Mei obediently nodded her head, "Mmm, I got it...."
Ming Mei nestled herself in Kang Chen's embrace without uttering a word, and he sporadically made remarks to her, much like a parent educating a child.
This reminded Ming Mei of her childhood, when her mother told her not to talk to strangers, not to eat anything given by strangers...
Ming Mei couldn't help but chuckle quietly to herself.
She refrained from laughing audibly, but her body couldn't help but tremble a few times.
Kang Chen asked her, "What's wrong? Still hurting?"
