They had just stepped out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, when suddenly, a motorcycle came speeding from the left.
"Nan Xi, be careful." Lu Jianshen's heart missed a beat as he shouted loudly.
He ran over without a second thought and, with one swift move, pulled Nan Xi into his embrace, one hand looping around her waist, the other protecting her head.
"Ah..." Nan Xi was also startled and screamed loudly.
Suddenly, with a loud crash, the motorcycle in front of them violently hit the ground, the man on it tumbling over and then lying on the ground groaning in pain.
At that moment, it was as if time stood still around them.
Nan Xi hid in Lu Jianshen's arms, as if she could only hear the sound of his heart pounding wildly, thumping incessantly.
"Are you hurt anywhere?" It was only then that Lu Jianshen caught his breath and looked at the person in his arms as he asked softly.
"I'm fine, I'm not hurt. What about you?" Nan Xi asked.
