Ning Yichu turned stiffly and, upon turning her head, saw a ghastly face that made her heart feel like it had stopped in that instant.
She almost let out a scream, almost instinctively running to the side.
Li Lingyang habitually opened his arms and embraced her.
In an instant, the distance between the two was extremely close, and they could even feel each other's heartbeat.
Yet, Ning Yichu didn't think of anything romantic at all.
All her attention was focused on the ghastly face, her eyes tightly shut.
Li Lingyang looked down and saw the frightened Ning Yichu, his lips curving into a faint, almost imperceptible smile, and then he chuckled bitterly—had it not been for this scenario, she surely wouldn't have thrown herself into his arms, would she?
He lifted his eyes, his gaze sharp, and gave a cold glance at the NPC in front.
