Gu Qian walked out of Pingyang Palace, dispirited and absent-minded, and saw the man standing with his hands behind his back next to the car from afar. In that instant, she wanted to flee, yet her legs felt as heavy as if they had been filled with lead.
When Mo Beichen saw her come out of Pingyang Palace, he quickly walked over and stood in front of her. Staring unwaveringly at her swollen red eyes, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Gu Qian hurriedly dodged to the side, but her movement was too exaggerated, and she fell straight to the ground.
Mo Beichen was alarmed; as he stretched out his hand to catch her, he fell to the ground first but managed to catch her securely in his arms at the last moment. His elbow propped up on the uneven bluestone road caused him a piercing pain.
Without even furrowing his brow, he helped her sit up and quickly checked to see if she was injured, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Gu Qian hung her head, silent.
