Chapter 738: Hold Me Tight (2)
Xu Weilai felt Bai Yufang’s footsteps paused in front of the balcony door.
Her fist tightened into a ball. If she could not stay hidden, she could only strike first. If Bai Yufang were to enter the balcony, she would knock her out first.
They could not see her face in the dark even if they exposed her being there or if they were to conduct investigations later on. She could only hope that she would not need to face the worst outcome.
Bai Yufang gripped and slowly twisted on the doorknob.
Xu Weilai held her breath and kept her focus. She raised her hand high as she prepared for a sneak attack on Bai Yufang.
A hand reached out from behind Xu Weilai and covered her mouth just when Bai Yufang was about to push the door open. Then, she felt a muscular arm wrapped around her waist.
Terrified, her pupils constricted.
If Bai Yufang was still in the house, was the person who grabbed her from behind Bai Yufang’s crony? Did she get caught?
Xu Weilai struggled hard on her impulse, but the person was too strong. She couldn’t move at all. That person quickly whispered into her ears, his voice low and his words short, “Stop moving if you don’t want to get caught.”
She felt a sense of familiarity in the voice, although she had never heard of it before. It was as if that man changed his voice tone to disguise his actual identity.
Shaken at his words, she froze. But he had already gotten hold of her and was heading towards the railing of the balcony.
Xu Weilai quickly stopped all her wild thoughts. She should not be thinking about anything else other than to get herself out of danger in the current situation.
However, she had already surveyed the situation on the balcony. It was empty and there was no place she could hide. She did not know how did the man appear out of thin air. But her concern now was that if she alone had nowhere to hide in the balcony, how could both of them hide in the balcony?
As they stood by the railing, the man whispered, “Hold me tight.”
“What?” Astonished, Xu Weilai raised her head and took a clear look at the man. He was in a black attire and a black mask covered his face. He even had a black goggle covering his eyes. She could not tell who he was since he had his face covered.
He did not bother to explain as if he was in a rush, but grabbed both her hands and wrapped it around his waist. He wrapped one hand around her waist and crossed his long legs over the railing of the balcony.
Xu Weilai got back her sense and with whispered with her trembling voice, “Are you… Are you going to…?”
His arm tightened around Xu Weilai’s waist and he jumped with no hesitation before she could finish her sentence.
She screamed the moment he jumped, but her scream muffled immediately.
He had his lips on hers. Her scream choked at her throat, her eyes wide open and flooded with emotions.
Xu Weilai however, did not stay focused too long on his unexpected way of muffling her. Instead, she was busy being terrified of the rapid fall from the balcony. For a second, a quick thought flashed through her mind. What would she want to do in the last moment of her life if she were to fall to her death tonight?
Images and fragments of memories flashed through her mind, but all of them ended up with the image of one person.
Was her mind still dominated by Gu Yu in the final moment of her life? But her memory of him was no longer filled with love. Instead, there was a mixture of hatred, unwillingness to resign, and many others. It made her feel complicated.
She shook her head hard as she tried to shake the image and thoughts on Gu Yu out of her mind. She tried to focus her attention back on this man in front of her. Why did she somehow find him familiar?
