Qin Shuang's pupils suddenly dilated; almost as a reflex, she didn't know how much strength she had mustered and pushed Gu Nanzhong away forcefully.
Taken by surprise, Gu Nanzhong staggered several steps back, nearly falling.
Still submerged in the shock of the moment, he hadn't recovered when he finally looked toward the road.
He was horrified to see a van charging in their direction. He shouted out, "Shuangshuang!"
Qin Shuang, either out of fright or something else, simply stood there, frozen.
And the van, which was about to hit Qin Shuang, suddenly swerved less than half a meter from her, veering off around the curb and speeding away—
"Shuangshuang, Shuangshuang, are you okay? That car just now..." Gu Nanzhong rushed to Qin Shuang's side, his voice shaking as he checked her over from head to toe.
Qin Shuang's face was deathly pale, feeling as if all the warmth had drained from her blood.
