"The night was dark and hazy. As the wind blew, the cold sweat on Lin Xingzhu's back gradually dried, and her trembling hands slowly calmed down.
She tightened her hold on the person in her arms, feeling their real presence, allowing her floating heart to finally settle.
After a moment, Lin Xingzhu released Bai Xiying.
She lowered her head, using the dappled moonlight to clearly see the blood on Bai Xiying's cheek, her gaze flickering, and then she gently wiped it away.
Lin Xingzhu asked again, 'Are you hurt?'
Only then did Bai Xiying come to her senses. '...I'm fine.'
She glanced at the man on the ground, unconscious, and then her gaze slowly returned to Lin Xingzhu.
'You lost control just now.'
Lin Xingzhu paused, her expression neutral. 'He deserved it.'
If Bai Xiying had been hurt, Lin Xingzhu would not be so calm.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiying's eyes curved slightly, but she said nothing.
As her panic subsided, she now had to confront the reality of the situation.
Lin Xingzhu took out her phone, ready to call for help when her peripheral vision suddenly caught something glinting on the ground.
...It was a bloodied dagger.
She raised her eyes, and a string in her mind was gently plucked.
After making the call, Lin Xingzhu's gaze was heavy as she suddenly asked, 'You got into this unlicensed cab by accident, didn't you?'
Bai Xiying was puzzled, sensing that the atmosphere was off but not knowing why.
'Of course,' she blinked and replied without thinking.
Lin Xingzhu bent down, picked up the dagger, and used a handkerchief to clean off the blood before returning it to Bai Xiying.
'In the future, try not to carry such weapons when you go out,' Lin Xingzhu said in a restrained voice. 'There's a huge difference in strength between men and women. What if you can't control it?'
If Bai Xiying couldn't manage her self-defense weapon in such a situation, it would turn into a tool for the assailant to harm her.
Bai Xiying noticed a flicker in Lin Xingzhu's eyes, sensing that she seemed a bit angry.
She glanced at the now-clean dagger, then reached out to take it under Lin Xingzhu's watchful gaze, smoothly pulling out its sheath from her pocket to put it inside.
