Bab 720: Determined

A splash of water then wetted Guiying's face as Zixin took his sweet revenge.

"H-Hey! No, that's unfair!"

Guiying scooped up some more water from the fountain and splashed it on Zixin after which he mimicked the same actions. They circled and ran around the fountain while attacking and defending themselves at the same time.

Zixin's face and upper half of his coat and shirt was completely soaked with Guiying's mischief. Guiying pointed at his sorry state and laughed while stumbling back. She lost her footing just then, close to falling back in the fountain but Zixin swiftly caught her waist, alert.

A panicked gasp escaped from her lips for a moment but felt assured as he grabbed her just in time. She lifted her head and was about to say thank you but her gratitude remained stuck on her tongue.
