Shen Yi grabbed Qin Jiao and spun around, pulling them completely behind a thicket of bushes and into a blind spot.
Although no one else could see them, the space was so cramped that they were pressed tightly together, unable to move. Qin Jiao could even hear his heartbeat.
Two echoing beats.
Because one of them was her own.
Qin Jiao bit her lip in frustration. She wanted to wring her own neck for what she'd done just minutes ago.
'She never should have run out!'
But she couldn't risk struggling now. Any sound would alert Li Xiaomei and Shen Zhengfeng. If they saw the two of them wrapped in an embrace, the situation would be impossible to explain!
Although Shen Yi remained expressionless, his heart was anything but calm. The girl in his arms was glaring at him resentfully, her teeth worrying her lip until it was red with frustration.
He forced himself to tear his gaze away from her and focus on the couple in the distance.
