The shock that Carter experienced when he saw that smack Gu Mengmeng gave Wabei, was shattered by Fei Rui's appearance.
The moment he saw Fei Rui, Carter's eyes filled with a supercilious disdain. Curling the corners of his lips, he said in an arrogant tone. "Take her back if you can."
Gu Mengmeng patted Fei Rui, who was obviously scared but still wanted to charge forward. She smiled at him comfortingly.
Fei Rui was a good kid. His thinking was still immature and his abilities lacking—but looking at him still trying to protect Gu Mengmeng despite his fear, this was enough to make Gu Mengmeng want to help him.
Not for the Kiss of the Ocean and not for any other reason. Just because Gu Mengmeng felt Fei Rui was a decent person.
Fei Rui's lips were pressed into a straight line. He was still somewhat hesitant but calmed down.
