Ten minutes later.
Chi Jiao stood obediently in the corridor and saw the young man walking towards her from afar.
A few seconds later, she fell into an embrace.
The young man’s body was cold, but his embrace was hot.
“Are you hurt?” Quan Jue asked in a low voice.
Only the heavens knew how panic-stricken he was when he saw on the news how Jiaojiao and the kidnapper confronted each other on the rooftop and nearly fell off the top of a tall building.
At that moment, he fully understood something.
He couldn’t live without Jiaojiao.
She was the light he relied on to survive.
Without this light, he could only rot and stink in the dark.
If he had to live like that, he was better off dying.
“No.” Chi Jiao felt that the flesh wounds on her body were nothing.
Since she had promised Jiang Shen to temporarily take over the affairs of 117, she was destined to deal with all kinds of dangerous Espers. It would be normal for her to get injured, so she didn’t take any of those minor injuries to heart.
Quan Jue heaved a sigh of relief and grabbed Chi Jiao’s shoulders. He lowered his head and looked into her eyes. “Do you know what danger is?”
Chi Jiao noticed that he was really angry. Like a docile kitten, she looked at him obediently and nodded. “I know.”
Seeing how obedient she was, Quan Jue’s anger was stuck in his heart.
He really couldn’t bear to lose his temper with her.
Quan Jue sighed softly and pinched her face. “Don’t do such dangerous things again.”
Chi Jiao nodded vigorously. “I got it.”
Her attitude was simply too good.
Quan Jue felt even more exasperated.
Sometimes, he wished that this pampered girl could be more spoiled and unreasonable. That way, he wouldn’t be like now, reluctant to get angry at her.
This was really a tribulation sent by the heavens to subdue him.
*****
The thrilling day passed quickly.
At night, Chi Mingwei saw Chi Jiao’s heroic act of saving a life on the news.
That’s right, Chi Jiao’s rescue mission on the rooftop had already been reported by the media. However, the fact that Zhen Xiaoqing was an Esper had been covered up. It only mentioned their battle at the edge of the rooftop.
All confidential information related to supernatural powers was not allowed to be posted online. It was just a way to stabilize society.
The scene of Chi Jiao and Zhen Xiaoqing almost falling off the roof had also been recorded by a spectator who had been flying a drone then. The scene was posted online.
In the video, Chi Jiao looked very calm. Her movements were agile and cool. It was a huge contrast to her innocent and cute little face. She behaved so dashingly that it made people feel like shrieking.
The number of views reached 100,000. The comments were all in praise of Chi Jiao. Many people were captivated by her doll-like appearance. They felt that the girl was neat and pretty as a little sprite, very lovable.
Chi Mingwei looked at the comments briefly.
“Hero? Superman? Awesome?…” Chi Mingwei muttered a few descriptions which had been posted repeatedly. He felt like smashing his phone.
He looked up at Chi Jiao and Quan Jue sitting at the dining table.
Quan Jue picked up a piece of braised carp with his chopsticks. After picking out all the bones, he brought it to Chi Jiao’s mouth.
