章 80: Chapter 80

Cecil felt a pair of strong arms wrapping around her svelte body, catching her. Her hands landing automatically around their shoulder, and the arms were coiled her waist and her back, her chest pressed against theirs.

The person stumbled back, supporting both of their weights, but nevertheless, they were both safe.

Cecil exhaled sharply, her eyes wide as she blinked rapidly, her blindfold still on.

She was sure that she was going to land on the ground, and it would have probably left a big, fat bruise on her.

The...the lord protagonist caught me...?

Cecil gasped in realisation, recovering from her shock as she lifted up her blindfold hastily.

"Xue, I'm so--" Cecil said, lifting her head and the words were stuck in her throat.

Their faces were so close.

So close that their noses were almost touching.

His grey eyes gazed into her onyx ones, and the concern for her was apparent in his grey irises.

"Are you alright?" Xue asked softly, his breath blowing onto her face.
