Ming Xiu's actions were quick. By the time Mu Keren came to her senses, he had already let go of her waist and stepped aside.
The scorching heat that had surged in the depths of his eyes when he had lifted Mu Keren by the waist had disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Still, his abrupt behavior had frightened the girl in front of him.
So, right then, Mu Keren's big, pitch-black eyes didn't dare glance in Ming Xiu's direction. She merely looked at the soy sauce in her hand for a moment before saying, "Thank you!"
Afterward, the little one didn't wait for Ming Xiu to respond. She turned and ran toward the supermarket checkout.
Watching Mu Keren's figure disappear at the exit, Ming Xiu, who had just come to his senses, stared in amazement at the hands that had touched her waist moments ago.
Even now, Ming Xiu couldn't understand why he had impulsively lifted the girl when he saw her from behind.
