When she opened her eyes again, Gu Xiao saw a figure standing in front of her.

He grabbed the stick and hit the boy in the face with his elbow at the same time. He snatched the stick and gave him a solid blow on the back.

Seeing this, the person beside him wanted to help. Waving his fists, he ran over. He dodged to the side and kicked the person away.

The remaining people stood rooted to the ground, not daring to act rashly.

“Chu An…”

Gu Xiao didn’t expect Chu An to come. In an instant, she felt aggrieved, but she knew that now wasn’t the time for her to cry.

Chu An didn’t say anything and seemed very calm. He turned around and untied Gu Xiao, then stared at the others.

…..

Ji Yao was also shocked by Chu An’s sudden appearance. The two people who had just been beaten to the ground had already stood up and looked at Chu An with hatred.

“What are you waiting for? The five of you can’t even defeat one person?”

Upon receiving the young mistress’s order, the five of them swarmed forward.

But Chu An was a general in his previous life. How could these people defeat Chu An with their paltry martial arts?

One versus five, not only did Chu An not fall into a disadvantageous position, he even beat them until they cried for their parents and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Chu An ignored them and walked straight to Ji Yao.

Ji Yao subconsciously retreated, but Chu An was like a living King of Hell as he approached step by step.

“What are you doing? Do you want to hit me? Chu An, look carefully. I’m better than her in every way!” Ji Yao shouted hysterically.

Pa! Ji Yao’s head tilted to the side, and blood seemed to seep out of her face.

Before Ji Yao could recover, Chu An slapped her on the other side.

At this moment, Chu An was like a wild beast that had lost control. Gu Xiao knew that she couldn’t let him continue like this. He had killed countless enemies in his previous life. If he really didn’t control his strength well and killed them, it would be over.

With this thought in mind, she pounced forward and hugged Chu An. She restrained his hand and said gently, “Be good, let’s go home…”

Chu An silently placed his hand on her arm and gave Ji Yao a warning look. Then, he let Gu Xiao lead her home.

Ji Yao seemed to have just woken up from a nightmare. She sat on the ground and wailed.

When they reached home, Chu An seemed to have lost his soul. He leaned against the door and didn’t look up at Gu Xiao.

“Chu An, I’m sorry. I lied to you. Actually, I left late today because I wanted to buy you something. I sold my previous works and earned more than a million yuan. I wanted to give you a surprise…” As Gu Xiao spoke, tears unknowingly flowed down her face.

Chu An reached out and hugged Gu Xiao.

“I thought I was going to lose you.” His voice was very low, sounding very disappointed. “Do you know how scared I was? When 1 arrived home, my heart had been beating uneasily. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I came out to look for you. If I was late…”

“Chu An…” Gu Xiao patted his back and comforted him. “Thank you. I’m fine now.”

“1 don’t want any surprises. It’s already my greatest blessing that I can meet you again and that you still like me. You yourself are the greatest surprise.” Chu An placed his head on Gu Xiao’s shoulder and gently rubbed it against her. “Don’t leave me.”

“I’m not leaving.”

Chu An let go of Gu Xiao’s hand and stared at her.

“Does it hurt a lot…” He did not dare to touch it. Gu Xiao’s face was already swollen. It must be very painful.

“It doesn’t hurt. It will be fine with just some medicine.”

“I’ll help you.” Chu An got up, found the ointment, and gently dabbed it on Gu Xiao’s face.

“Chu An, don’t worry about me. I was careless today. I won’t be like this in the future,” Gu Xiao said. “A weak person like Ji Yao won’t hurt me. She will never be my match.”

“I know,” Chu An replied. “But I hate it when you get hurt, so… I’ll protect you more diligently in the future.”

Gu Xiao thought he would say, “Don’t take revenge.” Hearing Chu An’s answer, she was really touched.

This was the person she loved. He never bound her in the name of love, but supported all her decisions.

If there was a storm on the way, he would still let her go because he would help her block everything.

Thinking about it, the two of them had known each other for decades…

Even though this body belonged to an underage child, the psychological age of the two of them was dozens of years old.

Chu An’s movements were very gentle, afraid of hurting her. When he applied the ointment on Gu Xiao, his face was very close to hers.

Hence, Gu Xiao kissed him gently.

Chu An was stunned for a moment before gradually closing his eyes.

The fruit of love was inexperienced and sweet..
