Shi Niange retracted her fingers and felt that her fingertips and heart were burning.

  It was clearly December, and it was already winter in Hai City. The ground was covered in snow, but her entire body was warmed up by his actions.

  “Wait a minute. Where are you going?” Shi Niange looked up at him. “If you’re not calm enough now, let’s find a place to sit for a while. I’ll accompany you.”


  “There’s no need. Go back.” Qin Siting finally spoke. At the same time, he lowered his beautiful brows and turned around.

  Shi Niange looked at his back view and pursed her lips. She tugged at the corner of his shirt. “Qin Siting, aren’t we already very familiar with each other?”


  Her words were already considered very tactful. She did not say anything rashly. Qin Siting, didn’t we know each other’s heart mirrors? Must we hide our true intentions like this?

  He stopped and turned back to look at her.

  Shi Niange gripped the corner of his shirt tightly. “I don’t want you to leave me alone right now. I won’t speak, so can I stay by your side? Earlier, the police uncle told you not to return to the Qin family, didn’t he? Otherwise, you……”


  “Shi Niange, those people have gradually begun following you because they found that you were close to me. Don’t you know it?” Qin Siting looked at her indifferently. “Protecting yourself is more important than anything, so there’s no need to worry about me.”


  She did not expect him to suddenly make it so obvious. Shi Niange’s expression remained unchanged as she smiled radiantly. “I know, but I am not usally alone. I’ll be fine. Besides, as long as you don’t avoid me, we’re usually together. Even if someone wants to do something to me, you’ll protect me, right?”


  Qin Siting looked at her for a moment before sneering. He reached out and pushed her hand away. “Childish.”


  With that, he left.

  Shi Niange looked at his determined back view and took a deep breath. The ground was very slippery, and the sunlight shone on the snow, reflecting a bright and dazzling light.

  When she was young, she liked winter very much. She liked to slip on the ice and even liked to stand in the snow with thick clothes.

  However, she did not wear much today. After all, she had been in the car previously.

  After following him for a while, Qin Siting did not turn back.

  There were many ice surfaces on this road. Shi Niange had never walked this road before and was not familiar with the road conditions. Nevertheless, she followed him closely, and her gaze never left his back.

  Initially, she was holding onto her bag as she walked.There was an ice pillar protruding from the stones in front of her and the side of the road. She did not see it but suddenly felt that her feet had touched something. Shi Niange was shocked. When she came back to her senses, her feet had already tripped.

  The fall caused her ankle and shoulder to hurt as much. Her waist even knocked against the stones by the side of the road. The pain caused her eyes to turn red.

  It seemed like it had been many years since she fell while walking. The last time she fell was when she went to the skating rink with Qin Siting.

  She felt that she might have fallen silly. However, she was not in a hurry to get up. Instead, she sat on the ice. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to empty herself because she suddenly recalled the kiss on the skating rink. Even now, she was not sure if it was real or an illusion.

  It was too wonderful.

  Shi Niange heard someone walking back quickly and asked sternly, “Where did you fall?”


  The sound of passing cars filled the surroundings. Shi Niange guessed that she be hallucinating from the fall.

  She turned to look at the person beside her. It was actually Qin Siting.

  “Ah……” Shi Niange opened her mouth and was about to speak when a gust of wind suddenly blew. The snow on the ground was lifted slightly and entered her mouth. It was very cold. She quickly closed her mouth.

  “Where does it hurt?” Qin Siting touched her leg and frowned at her. “You can’t get up?”


  The sunlight was too glaring on the snow. Shi Niange didn’t dare to open her eyes fully. She could only squint her eyes and look at the man in front of her. Even though his shirt was slightly messy from the scuffle earlier, he still looked good.

  Qin Siting’s expression was ugly. “Speak.”


  Shi Niange returned to her senses and quickly shook her head. “I’m fine.”


  Qin Siting looked at her and did not say more. Instead, his hand went around her back, and his other hand tightened under her arm. He whispered, “Get up.”


  Shi Niange was stunned. At first, she was shocked. Then, she looked in surprise at the person who was about to help her up. She quickly cooperated and placed her hand on his. When he helped her up, she blinked as though trying to confirm if this was real.

  Qin Siting supported her forward. He originally wanted to take a taxi, but Shi Niange’s limp seemed quite serious. He frowned and glanced at the entrance of a hotel dozens of meters away. Then, he suddenly turned to the hotel.

  Shi Niange didn’t even notice where he was taking her. It was only when they entered the hotel door that she reacted. When the hotel receptionist at the front desk saw that it the young couple, the young woman’s face seemed to turn red. Then, she handed over the room card with an ambiguous smile.

  Shi Niange’s entire face was red as she was brought into the elevator by Qin Siting and into the hotel room.

  After entering the room, Shi Niange’s heart was still pounding.

  “Go in and sit down first. Wait for me to come back.” Qin Siting helped her into the sofa in the room. After she sat down steadily, he turned and left.

  When Shi Niange heard the door open and close, she gradually came back to her senses. She raised her eyes to look around. This hotel was the closest to them at the time. Although it was not a high-class suite, it was considered the best business suite in this hotel. It seemed to be a new hotel. The carpet and everything were very clean. The room’s air was filled with the scent of lemon.

  From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the double bed in the room. Her face instantly turned red as she turned her head and buried her face on the sofa.

  About ten minutes later, she heard a beep from the door. Qin Siting had returned.

  Shi Niange took more than ten minutes to calm herself down. She turned to look at him and saw that he was holding a small bag. She could not see clearly what was inside. It seemed to be an ointment that could stimulate blood circulation and heal wounds.

  “You went to buy medicine? I’m really fine. I’ll be better omorrow.” Shi Niange really didn’t like to cause trouble for others, especially him. Furthermore, she had accidentally fallen while walking. She felt that it was embarrassing.
