"Brother Sihao, don't go! I'm scared..."
That cry released the longing suppressed in her heart for so long...
She was really scared. Standing there alone after he left felt terrifying, as if the darkness hid countless monsters with bared fangs and claws, ready to leap out and devour her at any moment.
Hearing her shout, Chu Sihao did not continue his pursuit but quickly turned around and came back.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. I'll have someone investigate tomorrow to see who it was, and we will definitely catch him!"
"Mhm..."
"Did you twist your foot?"
"I—"
Only then did Xia Yanxin realize she had fallen and was covered in mud, with her left foot aching severely. A broken water pipe was continuously leaking, forming a puddle on the ground. Her high heels were strewn about in the mud, and even her handbag lay in the muck.
Chu Sihao went forward to pick up her scattered belongings one by one. "Come on, I'll carry you back!"
"I'm fine, I can still walk..."
