Fu Xuan: Guard against fire, thieves, and senior sisters. What do you mean my senior sister is one-upping me? 1W5 (Continued)

It looked as though she had been sprinting at full speed, only to slam headfirst into a truck.

The immense recoil made her stumble, and her body uncontrollably tipped backward.

Seeing this, Chen Li reacted swiftly, reaching out and catching her steadily in his arms.

Looking at Yao Guang in his embrace, Chen Li and Wang exchanged glances.

Wang chose to take her leave, leaving only Chen Li and Yao Guang behind.

"Are you all right?" Chen Li lowered his head to look at the dazed Yao Guang in his arms and asked softly.
