The car sped along the highway, and it was still Zhang Xiao Ya's little white car. As she drove, she chattered about what Gu An Xia had investigated about today, and as they chatted, they arrived at their destination.
At this time, a figure suddenly caught Gu An Xia's attention and she stopped in her tracks.
"Why aren't you leaving?" Zhang Xiaoya turned around doubtfully. Under her gaze, the crowd surged.
Zhang Xiao Ya looked at it for a long time, but still could not find anything, she pulled on Gu An Xia's clothes and shouted: Stop looking, let's go young miss.
"Wait a moment." Gu An Xia frowned, she was staring at a certain place without moving, as though she was observing someone.
Zhang Xiaoya's curiosity was piqued by her abnormal actions. She followed her gaze over there again, and finally noticed a middle-aged man sneakily standing by the side of the road, looking left and right, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, he turned his head around. As if he had seen them, he ran.
"It's him. Help me stop him." Gu An Xia roared loudly, threw the big and small bags in his hands, and chased after her.
Zhang Xiaoya could not react immediately. She lowered her head and hurriedly picked up the bag that she had dropped on the ground. "Who is it?" she asked loudly.
"Driver Zhang Daxi." Gu An Xia's shout came from afar.
Zhang Xiao Ya raised her head again, only to see that Gu An Xia had already run a long distance away, as she searched through her mind for information on this name. Only then did she finally remember that Zhang Da Fu was the driver that Gu An Xia mentioned to her before, who quickly threw away the big and small bag in his hand, and helped chase him.
"Uncle Zhang, wait. I have something to ask you." Gu An Xia stepped on his high heels as he rushed forward, panting while shouting, but the people in front of him only used all their strength to escape, they did not pay attention to her at all. Seeing that his figure was about to disappear into the crowd, Gu An Xia became even more anxious, and subconsciously increased his pace, not caring about what was beneath his feet.
However, just as she was about to step on the small step, she felt a sharp pain in her ankle, and before she could react, she had already pounced forward. In her terror, someone had reached out and grabbed her by the waist, and instead of the unexpected pain, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Are you alright?" A gentle voice came from above.
Gu An Xia regained his senses and left in a hurry. He still had lingering fear in his heart, and when he turned back to search for Zhang Da Fu in the crowd, he had already disappeared without a trace. Disappointment surged up in his heart, and Gu An Xia's entire face sank.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Boming asked with concern.
Gu An Xia shook his head, and silently walked back. His ankle suddenly felt pain, and his entire body staggered.
"Is he injured?" Xiao Boming frowned, lowering his body to take off her shoes.
Gu An Xia was a bit embarrassed, and wanted to retract his leg, but was violently grabbed by Xiao Boming. He gently twisted her ankle, and a wave of pain suddenly came over.
Following that, Xiao Boming helped her put on her shoes, turned around, and half-squatted down. He said, "Come up."
"What?" Gu An Xia was a little confused.
"Your ankle is injured. I'll carry you on my back. Come on up." Xiao Boming looked back at her with a gentle smile.
Gu An Xia subconsciously rejected, "No, that's not necessary, I can walk by myself."
She stubbornly took two steps forward. The sharp pain coming from her ankle made her unable to hold back, causing her to stop. Her entire face contorted in pain.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiao Ya had caught up, and seeing Gu An Xia standing there, she asked while gasping for breath: "Did you catch up to him yet?"
Gu An Xia shook his head, then looked back at the crowd and sighed, "Today he has run, who knows when I will catch him again."
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaoya's face was also filled with disappointment as she paced back and forth on the spot. She was still out of breath and wished that she could just sit in the middle of the street and rest without caring about her image.
Gu An Xia turned and said to Xiao Boming, "Mr Xiao, my friend is here. I'll let her help me back.
"Help you? What's the matter with you? " Zhang Xiaoya casually walked to her side and looked her up and down. "You look quite spirited."
Gu An Xia rolled his eyes at her, "My injuries are at my ankles, why don't I kick you a few times to let you see if I am truly spirited."
"Forget it, forget it." Zhang Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and quickly waved her hands. She pretended to be flirting as she held her hand and said in a high-pitched voice, "Empress, the nameless palace has arrived. The passersby can leave. Please enter."
The corner of Gu An Xia's mouth twitched a little. He forcefully resisted the urge to kick her away and turned to Xiao Boming with a smile. "Then we'll be going. Goodbye, Mister Xiao."
Xiao Bai Ming nodded and watched the two of them leave. He saw that Gu An Xia was hopping and walking on his only remaining leg in a sorry state, and Zhang Xiao Ya, who was standing on her high heels, also seemed to not be able to bear the weight.
He could not bear to watch any longer, so he lowered his head and laughed helplessly. Then, he strode forward to catch up with them, and picked her up from the ground right in front of Gu An Xia.
Gu An Xia let out a low cry that he did not expect, and her hands subconsciously hooked onto his neck to prevent himself from falling down. Only when she regained her senses did she realize that it was Xiao Boming.
"Then I, I …" Zhang Xiao Ya suddenly felt that she had become unnecessary and meaningfully looked at Gu An Xia for a while before asking Xiao Bai Ming, "You must have driven here right?"
"Yes." Gu An Xia was very light, to the point where it made his heart ache for some unknown reason. He didn't know if this woman had not eaten properly in order to take care of him, in order to make him so thin, and thought that if he were to treat her to a meal in the future, he should give her more meat.
"Then I'll leave An Xia in your care. I still have matters to attend to. Bye bye." Zhang Xiaoya laughed slyly, waved at them, and left without looking back, her cool attitude clearly told Gu An Xia, you go and fend for yourself.
In reality, she could tell that this man in front of her was interested in An Xia, and the impression he gave her was one very reliable person, which was why she acted as the matchmaker. She thought that if this man warmed Gu An Xia's heart, then Gu An Xia's heart would feel much better.
However, Gu An Xia did not know what she was thinking, and secretly cursed in her heart. She patted Xiao Boming's shoulder, a little conflicted, and said softly, "Let me down and walk, I can do it."
"Don't move." Xiao Boming expressed that he would never let go so easily. In Gu An Xia's blind eyes, there was a hidden smile that was hard to conceal.
For a moment he thought how wonderful it would be to carry this woman on his back all the way, and when the thought came out of his head, even he was startled.
