He was grateful that she was able to run recklessly towards him.
But at the same time, a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart.
Guilt that at such a dangerous time, she was still running recklessly towards him.
These feelings were really complicated.
His arms tightened around Ji Bianran's shoulders as he felt his heart fill with emotion and guilt.
He wanted to protect her with his life.
'Daughter-in-law, it's okay,'
he said, stroking her hair.
Ji Bianran sniffed, and looked up at Gu Chen's face.
Her eyelashes were wet and clumped together, and there was a hint of distress in her watery eyes.
This was the first time Gu Chen had seen her with this expression on her face.
His heart was about to break.
'I'm sorry, Pianran,'
he said, and Ji Pianran's tears flowed uncontrollably again.
People are really a strange kind of animal. Ji Pianran didn't feel aggrieved, just scared and nervous.
But the moment she hugged Gu Chen, an indescribable sense of grievance welled up in her heart.
He does care about me, doesn't he?
He has a place in his heart for me!
With watery eyes, she looked at Gu Chen steadily.
Because she had cried, Ji Pianran's voice had a noticeable nasal tone, which sounded very beautiful.
'You keep saying you're sorry.'
Looking at the girl in front of him, who was even beautiful when angry, at the moment, all he could see in her eyes and heart was himself.
Gu Chen's heart felt like it was being gently tickled by something.
His throat also tightened a little.
He swallowed, and the depth of feeling in his eyes flowed recklessly, like bottomless ocean.
'I'm really sorry, and I won't let you worry like this again.'
Upon hearing this, Ji Bianran gave her a white look, and she lightly sniffed her nose.
She looked at Gu Chen seriously.
She said every word extremely seriously, 'Next time you encounter this situation, you must also wait for me. If something happens to you, what are we going to do with Tangtang?'
Gu Chen: '!!!'
He narrowed his eyes, his face full of expression.
Wait for her?
What does that mean?
Is this going to be a joint effort?
A girl who is afraid to kill a chicken is actually going to fight the criminals with him?
Gu Chen rubbed his eyebrows.
It was funny and a little touching at the same time.
She was actually willing to risk her life for him, and not just once.
That was really a very happy thing.
Ji Pianran saw his expression and said disapprovingly, 'Two people are better than one. Look how dangerous it was just now.'
Gu Chen nodded, unable to laugh or cry.
'Yes, yes, to my wife, whatever you say is right!'
His silly wife is just so cute!
The policeman was originally embarrassed to disturb the young couple. After all, the criminals were armed with knives and must have been scared.
But these two people kept going on and on, which was really annoying.
They also have to do their job.
The police officer walked over helplessly, picked up the dagger on the ground.
He coughed lightly twice, then looked over at Gu Chen.
'Thank you very much for your bravery. We will take him back to the station now to record his statement.'
Hearing the police officer's voice, Ji Bianran's eyelids twitched.
Instantly, she bounced out of Gu Chen's arms.
It's over!
She was so nervous and scared just now that she actually forgot that there was someone else next to her!
And he was a policeman!
She was hugging and cuddling in front of a fellow policeman!
This is so inappropriate!
It's embarrassing.
Looking at Ji Pianran's red face, Gu Chen knew that she was blushing again.
He reached out and pulled Ji Pianran behind him before looking over at the policeman.
'Thank you for your trouble.'
At this point, the other policeman looking at Ma Huan looked carefully at Ma Huan's face, frowned, and muttered to himself in confusion.
'Strange, why does he look so familiar?'
Hearing this, the other policeman gave him a cold glare, 'He also attacked with a knife, it's obvious that he's a repeat offender, it's normal that you find him familiar!'
The two of them spoke one after the other, and neither of them expected that this person was the fugitive on the newspaper with a heavy reward!
It's not that the policemen have bad eyesight, but mainly because Ma Huan's face and head were covered in dirt after being hit by Ji Pianran's flowerpot.
In such a dishevelled state, not only would the police not recognise him, even his own mother would have trouble doing so.
Three minutes later, the police car drove out of the alley with its siren blaring.
Gu Chen calmly took Ji Pianran's hand and led the way out.
After they had taken two steps, Ji Pianran looked at Gu Chen with a face full of embarrassment.
'Um, can we take a break before we go?'
She had just received such a shock, and it was impossible for her to calm down so quickly.
Although she wasn't afraid at the moment, and wasn't nervous anymore, her legs just couldn't muster any strength, as if she were stepping on cotton.
They were limp.
After hearing her say that, Gu Chen looked over at Ji Pianran's legs.
Seeing that the latter was still shaking uncontrollably, he felt extremely distressed.
Without saying a word, he reached out to pick Ji Pianran up.
'I'll take you out.'
As the hands placed on his waist grew more forceful,
Ji Pianran felt terrible.
They were about to exit the alley!
If he carried her out like this, how many people would see them?
They would definitely laugh at her shamelessness!
No!
She didn't want to be laughed at!
Just thinking about it made Ji Pianran's face flush.
She hurriedly said, 'That's okay, I just need to rest a bit.'
Gu Chen couldn't help but smile secretly at her awkward little appearance, and he looked at the bashful Ji Pianran in front of him with a mocking expression.
'Then I'll carry you out, front or back, you choose!'
Looking at Gu Chen's indifferent appearance, Ji Pianran knew she couldn't refuse.
Besides, she really couldn't walk.
She pursed her lips and said embarrassedly, 'Then, then carry me.'
After all, carrying her is better than carrying her in his arms.
Gu Chen turned around with a smile on his face and crouched down so that Ji Pianran could get on a little better.
The latter coaxed her little face and gently threw herself onto his back.
After feeling her weight, Gu Chen hurriedly stood up and embraced Ji Pianran's legs.
He walked forward contentedly.
Ji Pianran was really very light, and Gu Chen carried her without any difficulty.
They had walked about three or four metres.
Gu Chen's scalp felt a little numb.
He had to admit that Ji Pianran really had some stuff going on.
Even through the cotton padded jacket, Gu Chen could feel the softness of her back.
His scalp felt a little numb.
His heartbeat quickened, and it felt as if his blood was screaming to burst out of his body.
Gu Chen paused for a moment, readjusting his posture.
He continued walking forward.
Ji Pianran thought she had tired Gu Chen, and at the moment, her mind was full of thoughts about how to make Gu Chen feel a little more relaxed.
Thinking about it, she shifted her body and leaned forward a little.
Gu Chen was already uncomfortable!
Her movement made it even more unbearable.
At the moment, the back of her head was throbbing.
