First, a small bundle of pink crashed into Regius from behind, followed by a childish, enraged shout. "Bad bug, I am going to squash you like a mosquito!"
Cheryl was already nine years old. For the past few months, she had eaten three luxurious meals a day followed by two sessions of snacks, and after each snack she would take a short nap for an hour. She had gained at least 5 kilograms, her cheeks and tummy all round and chubby. Wiith such a weight barrelled in on him from behind, Regius stumbled and lost his balance with a surprised cry. His momentum faltered and the thing he gripped in his hand actually flew out!
Second, Lu Yizhou had seen the strange glint on Regius' eyes and all of a sudden, his my-lover-is-in-danger radar started tingling. The hair on the back of his neck stood on its end and before his brain could process, he had dragged Moshe behind his back and put himself in front.
