Jing Ni smiled gently, stood up, and walked towards Mai Qi.

I was one step ahead of her. Before her fingers touched Mai Qi, I pulled her up and pushed her out.

Mai Qi screamed and fell onto the sofa on the other side.

She cried out in pain, not knowing why.

I stood in front of her, facing 'Jing Ni' in front of me.

'Jing Ni' smiled. "Nanxing, my dear, what's wrong with you?"

I looked at her, my mind racing. I only wanted to protect Mai Qi, who was beside me.

'Jing Ni' took a step forward, her smile deepening.

"Stand there and don't move, Ma Ji," I said coldly.

"Ma Ji?" Mai Qi had already stood up from the sofa and stood beside me.

I extended my arm to block her behind me.

Seeing this, 'Jing Ni' smiled. Her smile had already turned into a fake one. Her gaze was cold, one I was familiar with. "Nanxing, you are indeed different."

I lightly said, "Thanks to you."
