She closed her eyes in fright, thinking she was about to be devoured by wolves, but then she heard several muffled groans.
At the same time, some warm liquid splashed onto her skin.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that all the wolves that had been surrounding her were lying on the ground.
Under the moonlight, a man dressed in black stood there, holding a blood-stained blade, exuding a chilling aura.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up when the man's slender hand was already extended in front of her.
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not take his hand.
Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely displeased.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Rong Qingqing scratched her temple and said seriously, "Thank you for just now."
Xie Jingrun pursed his thin lips, glanced at her indifferently, and turned to leave without saying a word.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing quickly followed.
Looking at the man's upright back, she didn't follow too closely, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too close.
Hearing the girl's footsteps approaching, Xie Jingrun subconsciously slowed his pace.
As he slowed down, Rong Qingqing also slowed down.
Xie Jingrun noticed, and his handsome face darkened. "Come here."
Rong Qingqing was taken aback, but still stepped forward. "What's wrong?"
Xie Jingrun's face was ashen, his eyes, as deep and unfathomable as a pool, staring coldly at her.
Rong Qingqing felt a little uneasy under his gaze. "You... is there something you need?"
Xie Jingrun closed his eyes briefly, then suddenly raised his sleeve and wiped her face.
His movements were somewhat rough, and Rong Qingqing immediately felt a stinging pain as her skin was rubbed.
"What are you doing?" she asked, somewhat displeased.
"You got wolf blood splattered on your face," Xie Jingrun explained in a low voice as he saw her face had been cleaned up.
"Huh? Oh." Rong Qingqing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. She remembered that when he killed the wolf just now, some warm liquid seemed to have splashed onto her face.
Seeing her dazed, Xie Jingrun's lips curled slightly, and he suddenly bent down and picked her up in his arms.
"Hey, what are you up to now?" Rong Qingqing blinked.
Xie Jingrun glanced at her. "You want to walk until dawn?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Qingqing understood. Thinking of what had just happened, she immediately swallowed back the words of refusal that were about to come out.
It's pitch black right now, and if she tries to walk alone, she probably won't be able to get back until tomorrow, not to mention the dangers lurking in the darkness.
Xie Jingrun carried her and leaped towards the villa.
The surrounding scenery rushed past, and Rong Qingqing couldn't help but relax upon seeing this.
"Hold me!"
Just then, the man's commanding voice rang in her ears, and she instinctively raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck.
The girl's sudden approach made Xie Jingrun tense up, especially when her faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, his heart fluttered, and he felt a kind of intoxicating, soul-stirring sensation.
Rong Qingqing was admiring the beautiful night sky and did not notice his strange behavior. She only felt that the feeling of flying through the air was really great, and the night was also very beautiful.
But just then, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Looking down, she saw that Xie Jingrun, who had been carrying her straight forward, was now plummeting straight down with her.
Realizing what was happening, she screamed in fright, "Ah—" and wrapped her arms and legs tightly around Xie Jingrun's body.
The scream pierced Xie Jingrun's eardrums, and he immediately snapped out of his reverie.
They were also taken aback by the situation before them.
Just as they were about to fall into the tree, he lightly tapped his toes a few times, and then, holding her, flew back into the air.
Rong Qingqing was still shaken. Thinking about the dangerous scene just now, she said with some reproach, "What on earth were you doing?"
