Yaoyao's eyes lit up when she caught sight of Long Yin ahead, but just when she was about to use him as her shield, she heard something pierce the air behind her, much to her alarm. Before she could dodge, it hit her in the back with a loud smack.
Losing control of her summoned internal strength, she teetered sideways and fell.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!"
She shrieked as she thought to herself, 'Crap, I'm going to humiliate myself, falling in front of so many people!'
She closed her eyes, terrified of facing her fate.
However, the pain did not come as she had anticipated, for she landed in a pair of strong arms.
The person's scent was unfamiliar, so she was absolutely certain that the person who caught her was neither her brother nor someone she knew.
Surprised, she opened one eye to sneak a peek, only to be greeted by the sight of a gentle, good-looking face.
The person was smiling at her.
