Chapter 35: Risking One's Life (Part 2)

Cen Ye stood in place, hands on his hips, slightly hunched over, his back to Xu Xunsheng, not turning around, gasping for air.

Xu Xunsheng stood behind him, feeling as if her heart was blocked by a sky-full of heavy clouds, unable to utter a single word. Suddenly, Cen Ye turned his head, grabbed her wrist, and started to run towards the neighborhood.

Xu Xunsheng didn't know what he was up to, she just felt somewhat dazed. He had been so cold these days that his sudden appearance, his sudden closeness, made the boy before her seem both familiar and strange. Although he had just been hit by a few punches and still had bloodstains on his face and hands, he was like a horse suddenly given incredible power, pulling her along without saying a word as they ran.

His hand was soft and warm, sweaty, and held hers tightly. He didn't look back, so under each streetlamp, Xu Xunsheng could only see his hair fluttering with his running, his silhouette tall and thin, and very stubborn.
