Stealing Your Heart

Zong Yanxi could not resist when she saw how adorable the little girl was, so she picked her up.

The child wrapped her arms around the adult’s neck with a big smile.

She’s too comfortable with strangers. This is not good.

Despite the girl being likable, the world was filled with people with ill intentions. With her trusting character, it would be unfortunate if she encountered bad people.

Zong Yanxi was walking down from the arched bridge when she accidentally sprained her ankle. She almost lost her balance, but luckily she was quick to grab onto the railing to support herself.

“What happened?” the little girl asked in shock as she tightened her arms around Zong Yanxi’s neck, fearing that she would fall.

Zong Yanxi did not respond. Instead, she tried to continue walking again but failed to do so as she felt immense pain on her ankle.

“Put me down. I don’t want to fall.” The little girl struggled to free herself.

“Don’t move,” uttered Zong Yanxi in a low voice.

It was already unstable enough to use only one hand to hold the little girl. If she made bigger movements, both of them would surely fall together.

The girl listened to her and stopped struggling.

Seeing that, Zong Yanxi bent over slowly and let her down.

Standing on the steps of the arched bridge, she lifted her head and looked at Zong Yanxi. “I’ll go get help.”

Without waiting for Zong Yanxi’s response, she ran down the stairs.

Zong Yanxi watched the little girl as the corners of her lips curled up. This kid is so lively.

Soon, the child’s figure disappeared from her view. She did not wait idly but slowly descended the stairs, cautious of not applying too much pressure on her injured leg.

When she reached the bottom, she hobbled towards a nearby house.
