Before Xu Jiaojiao could react, Xu Zhengyang had already wrapped his arms around her and protected her in his embrace.
Qi Shenbai, who had lost Xu Jiaojiao, did not say a word. He just stood there quietly, like a toy that had lost its battery, looking especially lonely.
"Brother, stop…" Xu Jiaojiao gestured for Xu Zhengyang to stop talking.
Xu Zhengyang looked at Xu Jiaojiao with a serious expression. "When a girl goes out, she should maintain a proper distance from the opposite sex. That is the basic rule!"
Xu Jiaojiao did not say anything. In her mind, Qi Shenbai was not that kind of person.
Then, she looked at Qi Shenbai. She wanted to say something, but when she met his eyes, she realized that all her words were stuck in her throat. She could not say them at all.
The look in his eyes took her breath away.
They were filled with sorrow and desolation, like beasts in a colosseum that could never escape the cage that trapped them.
