Chapter 3441: I Will Always Be Behind You
When he saw her standing under the dim streetlights, his inexplicably tightened heart gradually relaxed. Only then did his blood begin to flow again, soothing his stiff limbs.
“I’ll always be watching you. Azure Bird, don’t worry about your back. I’ll
always be behind you.” Xia Jinyuan’s breathing was very shallow as he pressed his hand on his heart. He said in a low voice, “Just walk forward and do what you want. Leave the rest to me. Don’t worry about me.”
Under his palm, his heart felt warm. His strong heart beat again and again, but for some reason, he felt as if his heart was floating.
Just now, she got out of the car and stood under a tree. She looked up at the old house that was shrouded in the night. His usually healthy heart felt as if it had been ruthlessly stabbed by something. The pain instantly spread to his limbs and bones. It was as if the blood supply in his heart had been cut off, and his mind was instantly dark. If he hadn’t reacted and immediately leaned against the cold stone cement wall with one hand on the water pipe, he might have fallen to the ground.
This reaction was unexpected, but it was fleeting. It was so fast that he could not react in time. There was still lingering fear in his heart.
It was so strange because Ye Jian was standing under the tree and looking around.
The lingering fear in his heart did not dissipate until she walked out from under the tree. It was not until he heard her cold but soft voice that his heart slowly recovered.
Hearing his calm and powerful voice coming from the earpiece, Ye Jian, who had already walked under the streetlights, continued to walk forward. In front of her, there were two children holding a small red lantern. They were running over with childish laughter. One was running, while the other was chasing.
There were five adults walking behind them. When they saw the two children running too fast, the woman who was probably their mother reminded them, “Don’t run too far. Run slower. Be careful not to fall.
It was snowing heavily in the Southern Province. The snow by the roadside of the farmers’ market had been shoveled to the side of the road. At night, when the cold wind blew, it was freezing. If one was not careful, even an adult would fall, let alone a child.
The child running in front wasn’t looking at the path in front of him. In addition, Ye Jian was wearing a black coat and black pants that weren’t eye-catching. The child giggled and rushed toward Ye Jian…
Ye Jian reached out and quickly supported the child. She picked up the small lantern that had fallen to the ground and handed it to the child. She smiled gently and said, “Be careful, kiddo. It’ll hurt if you fall.”
The child was well-educated. He replied in a childish voice, “Thank you, Aunt.” He took the lantern and ran back.
Ye Jian touched her face. She had become an ‘Aunt’. This time, Captain Xia would feel better. In the past, the children called him ‘Uncle’ and called her ‘Sister’. He even complained to her that he wanted to be called ‘Brother’.
Sometimes, Captain Xia was like a child. Ye Jian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The child’s mother had already jogged over. She helped her child up before apologizing to Ye Jian. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.. The child didn’t hit you, right?”
