Lea's reaction was extremely speedy. He scooped Gu Mengmeng up and locked her in his embrace, turning around in a jiffy to block all the sparks with his back.
Gu Mengmeng truly was scared to her wits. She huddled in Lea's embrace and did not dare to move a single inch. After a long time, she then stretched out her neck to look at the situation but after moving slightly, she heard Lea call, "Mengmeng."
"Huh?" Gu Mengmeng was quite guilty and she put her head down, resembling a child who had just made a mistake. However, she lifted her gaze up to peek at Lea's expression.
As expected, Lea could not even maintain his smile.
He supported Gu Mengmeng's shoulders with his arms and stared into her eyes after accommodating to her height and said, "Did you know how scared I was just now? If you're hurt even by a little bit, it would be more painful then slitting my heart."
