"Beep beep! Beeeep—"
As Xiao Yize's tense warning rang out, the sharp sound of a car horn followed suit.
Seeing the large truck speeding towards her from the side, Mo Qingning froze in place, stunned.
In the fleeting moment of her panicked daze, a slightly cool hand suddenly grabbed her wrist forcefully!
Before Mo Qingning could even process what was happening, a crisp lemon fragrance filled her nose the instant she was pulled away.
The flow of cars rushed past them on either side.
He held Mo Qingning close and let out a relieved sigh.
Mo Qingning remained frozen, for a long time, as if she were just regaining her heartbeat.
"You're safe now,"
Xiao Yize's gentle voice sounded near her ear.
Gradually, the faint lemon scent she had smelled began to dissipate.
He released her from his embrace, and seeing the girl still lost in the lingering fright, he gave a faint smile.
"Be more careful next time,"
he advised with a hint of admonishment.
