Capítulo 45: Chapter 45 She must have fallen in a funny way

However.

With darkness falling and eager to return home, she didn't notice the small stone under her foot.

The moment she stepped on it, her foot slipped, causing her body to uncontrollably stagger forwards.

...

She cursed fiercely in her mind!

Just as she was about to fall face first into the dirt, an arm appeared from behind, accurately seizing her shoulder.

The strong arm pulled her stumbling body right back up from its impending fall.

It was Tong Sanlang.

Standing just about a step away from Qiao Xiaomai, he had swiftly reached out and pulled her up as he saw her about to fall over.

"It's dark, and the path is slippery, Miss Qiao. You should go back slowly."

Qiao Xiaomai "..."

Her face suddenly flushed with embarrassment. This was extremely awkward!

With a voice barely louder than a mosquito buzz, she wrenched herself free from Tong Sanlang's grip, not turning back or saying thanks, and continued on her way.
