The expected fall didn't come.
Nor did the expected pain.
A warm embrace steadily caught her, and Little Nuomi slowly opened her eyes, letting out a long "Huh?"
The drawn-out vowel, with a slight quiver of a milky voice, was endearingly cute.
She lifted her head and caught sight of Zhou Junyi at once.
The little one's eyes twinkled as she blinked, and Zhou Junyi looked down at her beloved granddaughter in her arms with a smile, what a surprise!
She had just returned to the Main Building when her precious granddaughter came to her.
But what was she doing?
Wearing a pink safety helmet, pink elbow and knee pads, and even sporting a pair of pink roller skates, was she playing with roller skates?
The little maid who had been left far behind panted as she caught up, "Miss, are you alright?"
Upon closer inspection and seeing Zhou Junyi, the little maid was terrified, "Madam, are you alright? Miss, didn't you bump into her?"
Zhou Junyi waved her hand off, "I'm fine."
