章節 1957: She Would Stop Overthinking

In fact, whenever she was reminded that he was only a little child, she would stop overthinking the matter. She could feel that his palm was getting a little too warm. Gu Xijiu was alert of the possible threats, like the instincts of a woman intimidated by a powerful man.

She was about to take a step forward to get away from his grasp, but that was when he pulled her close by the waist. "Quiet. The snakes are here."

Gu Xijiu was surprised. It was true that the snakes were here, but why must he pull her close at the waist? Why did the child have to be so touchy?

Gu Xijiu wanted to hit his arm to let her go, but before she could even touch him, he suddenly pulled his arm back. She almost hit herself at the stomach.

Shen Nianmo did not only let her go, but he also took a few steps backward and hid himself behind her protective figure, like a child seeking for protection. "Chongsheng, you have to look after me. I am afraid of snakes."
