Capítulo 3: Kids do have dignity

He Jian cut his ropes quickly without getting any cut on his hands. His actions were quick and experienced.

The girl was right in the end. They don't have much time. What if the kidnappers came back? Standing up from the floor, he picked the iron rod lying in the room. The girl also picked one.

When they came out of the room, his first reaction was to hide the girl behind her in case if someone attacked.

However, What he had not expected was that the girl behind him would suddenly come in front of him.

She walked ahead without any worry.

He looked at her back with raised eyebrows.

'They were not taking a walk in the garden. Why is she looking so carefree?'

He walked in long strides and soon he was by her side.

'How can I forget that children also have their dignity.

Of course, she would not like mE to protect her. I had to do it silently without attracting her attention.'

As he looked around the palace to see the exit while walking beside her, the girl had already walked in a certain direction.

With a sigh, he looked at the girl who was walking ahead again.

He could only follow her silently.

Then finally he saw the exit.

He looked at the girl by her side with confused eyes. If she was also kidnapped like him then how can she know the way around this place?

His eyes had been covered by the kidnappers when he was kidnapped so he didn't know at all which way to go.

With his thoughts running wild in a certain direction, his blue eyes looking at the girl became very cold and sharp.

The next moment, his arm was grabbed suddenly and he was pulled by her behind a wall.

With his back touching the wall, he looked at the girl in front of him. The girl had her hand on his mouth, covering it tightly.

She signed him by her eyes to look sideways.

Two masculine tanned men passed by their side. When he removed his sight from them and looked back at the girl, he saw that her eyes were still on those men.

Because of the very narrow space, they were very close to each other. The roof above He Jian's head was not much high so he even had to bend his body a little to adjust in that small space.

She felt very soft against his hard body. he couldn't help but think inside his heart.

The right side of her temple was very close to his lips. Apart from that, her whole face was covered leaving only her eyes. Her skin was pale white and smooth.

Mo Roulan was still looking at the men who went inside. In the past life, things didn't happen like this.

They were able to escape from at least the shabby house without being noticed by anyone. The only reason she could think of was that she wasted a lot of time inside compared to the past life.

When she was cursing silently inside her heart, she felt a cold yet very soft touch on her temple. Her whole body froze and her heartbeat sped up.

With wide eyes, she turned her head in He Jian's direction with such a fast speed that He Jian feared that her neck would get twisted.

He looked at her eyes which were wide with shock. The whole time since he first saw her, her eyes were blank.

But at this moment, he felt that her eyes were very beautiful. It was not pure black but a little brown.

It seemed like they were questioning him silently and asking for answers which he himself didn't know. He just couldn't take his sight away from her eyes.

As he continued looking into those eyes his heart started to beat like a drum.

Eighteen years old him had never felt like this.

"Sorry...I didn't mean it."

He said as guilt filled his heart.

She was just a child.

However as he looked into her eyes, he couldn't look away.

Unconsciously he raised his hand to remove the cloth covering her face.

"Brother Xia"

Mo Roulan who was in a daze felt awakened by the shout. She removed her hand from his mouth and tried to step away from him. But since there was no space she could not do so. Flustered by this, she heard the next words.

"Brother Xia, the boy, and that girl have escaped."

More Men with one in the center who seemed to be their leader stepped inside and passed by them. Mo Roulan closed her eyes with a heavy sigh.

It will not be easy this time.

"It is not good to sigh like this at such a young age."

The voice that fell in her ears was very gentle. She didn't have the guts to look at him after the earlier incident so she just ignored his words and tried to think of something else.

Only if she had looked at him she would have seen how gentle and affectionate his gaze was when he looked at her.
