Chapter 309: Hating Someone Without Satisfaction

At the nick of time, Lin Zhiyi's body was tightly held and rolled to the roadside.

Screams from the surrounding pedestrians came in waves, but all she could hear beside her own breathing,

was the man's pained grunt.

She instinctively clung onto the man's clothes.

The man seemed to notice her fear, holding her even tighter: "Don't be afraid, let's get up first."

Hearing his voice, Lin Zhiyi regained her senses, looked up at the man, feeling a complex mix of emotions.

It was Gong Chen.

Whether it was her illusion or not, his lips seemed somewhat pale.

"Are you…" alright?

Just as she was about to speak, kind-hearted passersby had already run over to help them up.

"Are you guys okay?"

Lin Zhiyi shook her head, the words she wanted to say never left her mouth.

When she looked at Gong Chen again, he was still composed and contained, showing a slight nod of gratitude to the passersby.
