"Are you sure it's not menopause?" Xu Tianyi asked Luo Qianqian gently, continuing only after noting her poor complexion, "Should I protect you?"
The sentence was a question, but the tone was affirmative. Luo Qianqian widened her eyes, and only after half a minute did she respond, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, I'll protect you from being bullied and be with you through thick and thin..." Luo Qianqian slapped her hand over Xu Tianyi's mouth, a bitter smile on her face.
"Look at the environment before you say that, this is school." Luo Qianqian's face was full of sorrow. Wasn't this suggesting early romance?
"It's exactly at school that I'll protect you; you don't need it at home, do you?" Xu Tianyi said, not understanding as he looked at Luo Qianqian.
Luo Qianqian lowered her hand, frowning, "You mean like a bodyguard?"
Xu Tianyi furrowed his brow; was this how the book described boiling a frog in warm water? Why did it feel all off track?
