Chiang Xiao said, pulling her along to turn around and run back.
Halfway there, she turned her head again to glance at the man.
The man extended a hand from the water, waved at her, and flashed a grin.
"No rush, I'll be waiting here," he called out.
Meng Xinian heard the urgent footsteps not far away, quickly turned his head to look, and ran over while throwing down what he held.
"Did something happen?"
Chiang Xiao slowed her pace, realizing she had startled him.
"It's nothing, it's nothing."
Only then did Meng Xinian's tense heart relax.
He realized that he might have truly been frightened by Hu Xiangyong. Aware of this, Meng Xinian furrowed his brow.
This feeling was terribly unpleasant.
When did he become so restricted by others?
So, he still needed to think of a solution.
But now is not the time to dwell on that.
"What's up? Why are you running so hurriedly?"
