Chapter 241 Retention

Pei Yansi's eyes were quick and hands faster, as he grabbed her wrist and wrapped his other arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

Shen Heyu toppled backward into his arms.

Her descending weight also made Pei Yansi's heels unstable, and with the mountainous terrain being steep and difficult, he too started falling backward.

The moment they fell, he held Shen Heyu tightly in his arms.

Shen Heyu felt his embrace was incredibly strong as if he wanted to meld her into his very bones. Before she had time to react, all she heard was a thud, and the two of them fell together into the snowy ground.

Immediately after, she heard a muffled groan from beneath her.

The pain Shen Heyu had braced for didn't come.

Looking up, she saw herself lying on top of Pei Yansi, while his back had forcefully struck the ground.

That muffled groan had escaped from his throat.

Clearly, it had been a hard fall.
