It was a simple phrase, yet when Baili Xia heard it, warmth instantly filled her heart.
Brother wasn't one to say much, but when he did, he meant it.
He offered to help her, and regardless of whether or not he could, at least he was willing.
A hint of bitterness touched her lips, but she still smiled.
Even if she wouldn't ask him for help, just knowing he would offer was enough to make her feel warm and cozy.
Suddenly, something brushed against her fingertips. She looked down sharply and saw a large lobster had moved to her hand.
The claw, which had originally been tied with plastic rope, had inexplicably freed itself and was now opening its scissor-like, razor-sharp pincers towards her fingers.
"Ah!" Baili Xia's face changed suddenly, and she let out a startled scream, hastily retreating.
But this retreat caused her to lose balance while squatting, and she fell backwards.
Someone caught her before she hit the ground, helping her to stand firmly.
