"I'm going to protect her by her side."
"So..."
The public channel instantly erupted.
"Who is it? What kind of person could make our Little Luo willing to give up such a great opportunity just to stay by her side and protect her? Hurry up and tell us so we can get to know her."

Bai?'s heart instantly felt as though
