THE ARM around Lily's waist tightened, and the next moment, her feet left the ground.
The shadow swept past the place where she had been standing as Bai Yichen carried her several steps away. Before Lily could regain her footing, another black mass came from the side, forcing Yichen to change direction again.
Lily looked at the arm around her waist, then at him.
"I could dodge."
"I know."
"Then why—"
"Shh."
"…"
Lily stared at him.
Bai Yichen didn't even look at her. His attention remained on the shadows moving throughout the hall as he avoided another one that came for them.
Lily closed her mouth.
Fine.
Since Yichen was apparently determined to carry her around, she stopped paying attention to where they were going and looked across the hall instead.
