The pedestrians around were frightened by this sudden change and screamed in surprise, but the Xue family was too far away and the crowd blocked their way so they couldn't get over in time.
Xue Zhiyi felt his arms getting heavier and heavier.
Shen Qingtang was looking up at her, his beautiful eyes flickering faintly, as if they were tears of fear.
Because of fear, Shen Qingtang didn't have time to think about why this strange woman in front of him knew his name.
Xue Zhiyi's face was flushed, but he didn't loosen his grip on her at all.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingtang couldn't help but panic: "Girl...Girl, please let me go! If you continue like this, you will fall too!"
Xue Zhiyi no longer had the strength to speak and could only let the beads of sweat fall from his forehead drop by drop.
At this moment, she suddenly felt the strength in her tense right arm loosen... and a big hand joined her in grabbing Shen Qingtang's arm.
Subconsciously, Xue Zhiyi looked up at the owner of the hand——
He was a young man in red clothes, with a pair of exceptionally sharp phoenix eyes. Although he had thin lips, he did not look mean, but rather a bit unruly. His hair was combed high into a tuft, and the tied ribbon and hair hung down on his shoulders together.
The moment Xue Zhiyi looked over, the young man also raised his eyes and looked at her.
At the same moment, the surroundings suddenly lit up...
I saw iron flowers blooming in the air, and the molten iron scattered like fireworks and stars, reflected in the boy's pupils, and in an instant... his eyes were full of brilliance.
After a brief moment of amazement, I heard the young man say in a deep voice, "Work together."
"Um!"
Xue Zhiyi collected his thoughts and nodded at him.
Using almost all their strength, the two men finally managed to pull Shen Qingtang up from the left and right.
Shen Qingtang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he sat on the ground in shock.
The young man just rubbed his arm and adjusted the sword sleeve on his wrist.
Perhaps due to the recent struggle, his hair was a bit messy, and his red robe was wrinkled. But instead of looking slovenly, it gave his face a distinct air of distinction.
"There are too many people, be careful."
The young man's voice was rustling, as if mixed with the rustling sound of falling iron flowers.
Seeing Xue Zhiyi remained silent, he raised his eyebrows: "What, are you scared silly?"
Xue Zhiyi belatedly bowed to him and said, "Thank you, sir."
He then smiled and said, "No need to thank me. Goodbye."
After saying that, he took a step forward, stepped onto the railing of the Jinlu Bridge, and without being blocked by the crowd, he disappeared from sight in just a few steps.
"that……"
Xue Zhiyi was still looking at the direction where the young man disappeared until Shen Qingtang's voice rang out.
Only then did she come to her senses and quickly helped the man up.
Shen Qingtang's breath was still a little fluctuating: "Miss... Thank you so much for today."
Xue Zhiyi smiled at her and said, "You're welcome. I wonder if the young lady is injured?"
Shen Qingtang shook his head at her: "What about you?"
"Me neither." Xue Zhiyi answered her.
After Xue Zhiyi answered, she looked in the direction where the young man disappeared: "I wonder if he is injured?"
Xue Zhiyi was just about to say that the young man had some kung fu skills and thought he wouldn't be hurt, but he saw Shen Qingtang's eyes were earnest and shining.
Xue Zhiyi came to his senses: Could it be that Shen Qingtang likes whoever saves her?
Thinking of the handsome young man just now, she consoled herself by thinking: At least he doesn't like Xue Tingsheng.
"I haven't asked the lady's name yet." Shen Qingtang asked her.
"Just call me Xue Zhiyi."
Shen Qingtang smiled at her tenderly, but couldn't help but look puzzled. She tilted her head and looked at Xue Zhiyi: "Have I met Miss Zhiyi before? I wonder how the lady knows my name?"
Remembering that he had called Shen Qingtang's name in a hurry just now, but forgot that they didn't know each other at that time, Xue Zhiyi explained: "Miss Qingtang of General Shen's family is famous for her beauty. She is well-known in the capital."
Such praise made Shen Qingtang blush slightly: "So, Miss Xue is also an official's wife?"
Xue Zhiyi nodded: "My father is the Minister of Revenue, Xue Zhentong."
While they were talking, the Xue family members finally caught up.
The leader was Xue Tingsheng, who immediately scolded him, "Who taught you to behave like this? You left without informing your parents. How can you be a lady from a noble family?"
Xue Zhiyi's heart tightened, thinking that he had not had time to separate Shen Qingtang and Xue Tingsheng.
However, when she looked into Shen Qingtang's eyes, she understood in her heart: their fate in this life was over.
Shen Qingtang lowered her head and looked at her hand that was being held by the young man. Her cheeks flushed slightly and her eyes were full of affection.
fortunately.
Xue Zhiyi thought so.
"Excuse me, who is this girl?" Xue Tingsheng also noticed Shen Qingtang.
Almost subconsciously, Xue Zhiyi put his body in front of Shen Qingtang, trying to block their sight.
According to my impression from my previous life, Shen Qingtang was an extremely well-educated person, always polite no matter who he met.
As expected, after hearing Xue Tingsheng's question, she calmed down and quickly lowered her head after her eyes passed over Xue Tingsheng: "My father is Shen Chiyan, are you Miss Xue's brother?"
Xue Tingsheng also returned the greeting: "Miss Shen is polite."
Seeing that he wanted to say something else, Xue Zhiyi felt anxious, and she quickly interrupted him: "Brother, it's getting late. Miss Shen is a girl, and she has been separated from her family for so long. Her family must be worried. Let her go back first."
