Ji Yao didn't hear Liu Yue's voice; her mind was entirely focused on Lu Jincheng.
"Lu Jincheng, Lu Jincheng, are you alright? Don't scare me..."
Her voice trembled slightly, revealing an unmistakable sense of lingering fear.
"Don't, don't worry."
Lu Jincheng struggled to utter a few words and reached out to touch her face, but the next second, he lost his balance and started to fall in her direction.
"Lu Jincheng!"
She cried out in alarm and without hesitation used her body to cushion his fall, feeling as though a wall of stone had suddenly collapsed onto her.
She clenched her teeth but still managed to hold him up, preventing him from crashing to the ground.
"Lu Jincheng, are you alright? You are already hurt, why are you still acting recklessly!"
Her voice had a hint of reproach, but it was filled with more concern than blame.
Lu Jincheng felt warmth in his heart upon hearing her words.
