"It's a gunshot!" Someone cried, and Cheng Yu rushed to check on Xiaoshi.

"Call an ambulance!" She shouted at someone, and the onlookers sprung out of their shock to follow her instructions.

Cheng Yu wasn't sure what to do with Xiaoshi who had been shot in the stomach, her mind filled with chaos. "Xiaoshi…"

"I'm okay." The girl smiled weakly, her eyes drooping like they could shut at any instant. She was losing too much blood.

"Please hold on. The ambulance will be here soon." She held her hand tightly, desperate to pass on the warmth from her hand to Xiaoshi's.

"Why did you jump infront of me?" Luna finally spoke after being silent the whole time. Her tone was full of blame. "Why?"

Xiaoshi turned her eyes to look at her boss without tilting her head and didn't know what to say. Luckily, the corridor soon filled with the patter of doctors' footsteps and it cut off the awkwardness.
