"No, no, it was me who shouted just now, not some kind of monster king!"
Chen Youming immediately panicked, and hastened to explain, "It was... it was just me accidentally twisting my ankle, so I yelled out. Please don't hit me, don't hit me!"
Chen Youming didn't reveal the real situation, thinking Zhao Siyu was about to get physical, so he made up an excuse to avoid ruining the second brother's heroic rescue plan.
Chu Nan paused for a moment, giving Chen Youming's direction a half-smiling, half-serious look.
Chu Nan held back from saying more, but Li Mengmeng snorted with disdain, seemingly mocking Chen Youming's cowardice, frustrating him immensely.
Zhao Siyu felt the baseball bat in his hand, convincing himself that he had just hit a furry, squishy monster; it didn't feel like Chen Youming. He guessed it must be someone going along with his act of bravado!
