He Zhiyao's eyes were as cold as if they had been dyed by the severest frost of winter, so chilling that it numbed the bones.
Even Gu Nanzhong, upon seeing He Zhiyao, came to his senses despite the drug not having worn off.
Following the light that came from the flashlight of He Zhiyao's phone, he also looked towards the woman he had just protected in his embrace.
His heart and breathing seemed to stop at that very instant.
The air and time also seemed to freeze.
Xu Lin, blinded by the harsh light, couldn't open her eyes. Her emotions had shifted from initial excitement and nervous joy to subsequent fear and bewilderment, and now to being helplessly scared.
She had never known that she could experience so many emotions.
She couldn't help but start to shiver slightly.
