Xiao Yifeng smiled as he spoke, his hand gently pinching her swollen red face. A stream of energy flowed through his palm into her cheek, causing the swelling to slowly fade away.
Hong Mei's expression carried a touch of shyness, and she dared not meet Xiao Yifeng's gaze, revealing a demureness typical of a young woman.
At that moment, Xiao Yifeng glanced at Hong Mei unintentionally resting his gaze upon her.
"Sister Hong, you're all right now, so I'll head back first," Xiao Yifeng said, intending to get up and leave.
"Don't go, stay with me, I am a little scared,"
Hong Mei suddenly grabbed Xiao Yifeng's hand, her eyes filled with a pleading look that made one's heart stir with compassion.
Looking at Hong Mei and listening to her words, Xiao Yifeng took a deep breath and did not leave; instead, he sat beside her.
"Don't be afraid, that guy won't dare to come again. I'll protect you," Xiao Yifeng assured Hong Mei.
