C45 Get down Don't Move

"Qiao Mu, it won't happen again." he promised.

It was just like …

He blamed himself for not protecting her well.

However, this was clearly not his responsibility … She should have thanked him.

"Thank you." Qiao Mu lowered her head and whispered, "Can you help me find my shoes?" She tried her best to recover from her earlier panic.

She didn't know where she had fallen.

In addition, her legs were a bit weak and she wanted to sit on the ground slowly.

"Nope." Tang Beiyao answered without hesitation. He reached out to help her up and squatted down, "I'll carry you down."

If it wasn't that the road was hard to walk, he wanted to carry her down.

He should have held her.

• *

The back was more intimate than the arms.

Qiao Mu was lying on his back, their bodies pressed tightly against each other. She could even hear the heartbeat in his chest … A steady, powerful sound rang out again and again.

The atmosphere was rather delicate, and even her mood began to soften.

It didn't look like they had just survived a disaster, but rather like they had reunited after a long period of separation.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Mu felt that she should say something. At the same time, she secretly touched the pocket of her coat. The small metal box was still there, well hidden.

Tang Beiyao's expression turned cold, but he didn't let her see it.

"Someone knocked Ol 'Five out, stole his clothes and ran away." After pondering for a few seconds, Tang Beiyao said lightly, "I've found them."

This was his oversight.

He shouldn't have let her see Qiao Zheng alone, and he shouldn't have left her alone for so long.

However, hearing Qiao Mu's words that he had intentionally left out, it became another meaning. Qiao Mu frowned and blurted out angrily, "So you think I did it?"

Knock Ol 'Five out and then run away?

She wasn't that stupid.

She didn't even know where this place was!

"..." Tang Beiyao's footsteps paused as if he was shocked by her thoughts. After being stunned for a second, he said, "No."

She really was …

He couldn't do anything about it!

That person was a professional killer, killing Ol 'Five and targeting her … Did she know what he had been thinking? He was more afraid than she was. But her thoughts …

So stupid!

Tang Beiyao couldn't help but smile. His tense mind, because of her words, could not help but loosen up. After that, his smile gradually grew wider …

Qiao Mu could feel him laughing.

First was the curve of his lips, then it was the vibration of his chest. She could clearly feel his happiness …

"What's so funny?" Qiao Mu was slightly annoyed.

As expected, his smile faded.

However, after a while —

"... "Idiot."

Qiao Mu was startled. She initially realized that he was laughing at her, but she was unhappy and unconvinced. However, after hearing these two words, she was momentarily absent-minded. He hadn't scolded her like this in a long time.

Last time, a long time ago.

'For such a simple question, it's normal to make mistakes, but this time, I was wrong as well. "Idiot."

"I'm already very sad that I didn't pass the examination. Why are you. "You're still scolding me?" She was gasping for breath. "This is an exam..." 'It's not the same as usual! '

"..." "Idiot."

These were memories of him, memories she had avoided.

She felt that she had completely forgotten about it, but she didn't expect that these two simple words would make her recall it so clearly … Qiao Mu's heart was filled with dull pain as she lowered her eyes in desolation.

"You can't scold me like that …" Qiao Mu, who should have been silent, felt at a loss as she pressed herself against his back. "I stopped doing math problems a long time ago …"

It's all over.

She pestered him for a topic, pestered him to become an elite, and helped a high school student like him … It was all in the past.

Tang Beiyao chuckled and said, "That's the most childish thing I've ever done."

"Oh." Qiao Mu responded with a faint sound, as if her entire body had been drained of energy by his words. She didn't know why, but she felt sad and aggrieved.

It was only when Tang Beiyao said the second half of his sentence —

"... to help a person who intentionally did the wrong question. "

Qiao Mu's eyes widened as she propped herself up in shock. He knows? He actually knew about it?

"Get down!" Tang Beiyao growled. He stepped back to steady her, to prevent her from falling, "Don't move."

"No …." "I didn't move." Qiao Mu had no choice but to lie down obediently as soon as he retracted his arm. She did not move again, but her heart began to beat wildly, uncontrollably, almost breaking through her chest and crashing into his back.

Would he feel it?

Of course, Qiao Mu didn't dare to ask!

She just hung her head, blushing, and felt her cheeks begin to turn red and hot. Even her ears were burning. What follies she had done!

"Will you still do the wrong questions?" Tang Beiyao's voice came from the front. He asked with a deeper meaning as if he had a faint smile on his face.

"I don't know." Qiao Mu blurted out, her mind in a mess. She looked at the verdant road in a daze, lost in this moment of comfort, thinking about how he had shamelessly pestered her …

Would he?

If he gave her another chance, would she still do this?

Qiao Mu was stunned. It wasn't until she felt his strength tighten, as if he was going to pin her onto him, that she finally came back to her senses and muttered, "…" It shouldn't be. "

If she could do it again, she would never provoke him again.

"Yes." Tang Beiyao answered with a simple word that made it hard for people to hear anything. It was just that he had originally tightened his grip on her and let her go, returning to her original state.

Yu Lu was speechless.

When they reached the bottom of the slope, Soong Zhe had already dealt with the killer who sneaked in and signaled his men to leave first. Then, he ran over to help her up, "Young Master Tang! "Miss Qiao!"

"Huh?!"

Why did he feel that the atmosphere was a little strange?

"Miss Qiao is injured?" He didn't have the time to examine it closely. Instead, his gaze fell on Qiao Mu's shoeless leg, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"No …."

"Shoes off." Qiao Mu was about to explain, but Tang Beiyao beat her to it. His voice was cold and distant, as if he was a completely different person from when he carried her all the way here.

He was cold again.

"It's good that you're not hurt." Soong Zhe nodded with reassurance. His gaze moved away from her feet and stopped at her face, "Miss Qiao, why is your face so red?"

"No!" Qiao Mu awkwardly turned her face away.

Can you not mention this!?

The embarrassment just now hadn't completely faded away yet … Moreover, she said that to Tang Beiyao at the end. If she mentioned it again, it would be more awkward.

What should Tang Beiyao think of her?

"It's really very red." He didn't know if Soong Zhe did it on purpose, "Are you not feeling well?"

"No!" Qiao Mu couldn't help but gouge him out, gritting her teeth as she threw out an even more lousy reason. "Because I lost my shoes."

"... "Huh?" Does it matter?
