章 187: She Felt As If She Might Catch Fire

Chu Qi turned around obediently at Lu Liangwei's words. From behind him, he heard the girl's brisk voice saying, "Could I trouble you to crouch down, please."

That was when Chu Qi realized what she was thinking of doing.

He frowned for a moment, but just when he was about to crouch down, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared in his line of vision.

"Chu Qi, step aside, please."

Chu Qi glanced at him and obediently moved away to one side.

When Lu Liangwei saw the broad-shouldered figure that suddenly appeared in front of her, her mind was thrown into utter confusion. Right after that, she heard the man say in a low, gentle voice, "Come on up."

Lu Liangwei clutched at her fingers and stared at his back, hesitating. Chu Qi might have been a year younger than her, but when weighed up against him carrying her all the way back to the Grand Duke Mansion like a sandbag, she could abase herself a little and allow him to carry her on his back.
