The Perfect Heroine wants to Possess me {English Translation}

Chapter 24

The French phoenix tree above their line of sight divided the blue sky into several sections, and the scorching sun pierced Ji Xiao's eyes.

In a daze, she stared at the girl pressing on her, distinctly hearing her own heartbeat racing.

Their thin clothes transmitted body heat to each other's skin, and the elevated temperature from the run, combined with the mint-flavored pheromone, intensified the sensation in her heart.

The shadows of the two young girls on the ground clung closely together, creating a sense of unity in facing adversity.

Ji Xiao, surprised, looked at Wei Qingyu. In this crisis, she took the initiative to protect them both.

The girl's cold expression didn't waver as she observed Ji Xiao in her arms.

Wei Qingyu's long black hair fell messily in front, revealing the glands attached to the restraint patch.

The morning breeze carried the scent of brandy and peaches.

Wei Qingyu cleared her throat and released her wrist with a cold expression. "Are you hurt?"

The warmth that had clung to her body was abruptly taken away, replaced by a gust of autumn wind.

Shaking her head, Ji Xiao replied, "No."

When she fell backwards, Wei Qingyu's took up the most of the impact. It didn't hurt anywhere at all.

Looking up at her, Ji Xiao was still surprised to find herself being shielded in such a crisis.

Wei Qingyu, too, seemed unaffected.

"I apologize, young ladies."

In that moment, a coarse voice disrupted Ji Xiao's concern for her.

A tall man, resembling a Russian brown bear, maneuvered his mountain bike onto the sidewalk from the road, his tendons trembling slightly with effort.

Wei Qingyu heard his voice and turned her gaze towards him, her usually calm eyes showing signs of agitation.

A mix of shock and excitement played out in her turquoise eyes, creating an expression of disbelief.

"Is the young lady hurt? I wasn't paying attention to the road, and accidentally rode onto the curb. This is a mountain bike, and it rushed up directly. I'm truly sorry..." The man maneuvered his bike towards a tree, all the while maintaining an expression of mock surprise, as he questioned her.

Ji Xiao sensed something was off with the man's smile, but she didn't dwell on it. She shook her head and replied, "I'm fine."

"That's really fortunate, you're very lucky," the man exclaimed. He then turned around, expressing gratitude by shaking Wei Qingyu's hand, "Young lady, I sincerely thank you for this."

As the man's rough palm connected with hers, a discreetly folded note was slipped into her hand with seamless finesse.

The entire movement was executed smoothly, leaving no room for observers to detect any flaws.

Afterwards, the man courteously and swiftly released her hand, continuing with his exaggerated expressions of gratitude. He remarked, "If it weren't for you, I might have incurred significant losses today. Perhaps this young lady could have had an accident, considering the stone at the side of this flowerbed."

"You should be more careful when riding a bicycle," Wei Qingyu advised, holding onto the note in her hand while maintaining a composed demeanor.

"Of course," the man agreed, glancing back at Ji Xiao, "Young lady, let this uncle buy you a cake from the bakery ahead. They have delightful cakes."
