"Sister." Qiang Zhi pulled away from the warm embrace and looked at Su Jiyai with dissatisfaction in his eyes.
"Why did you do something so dangerous again?! Are you trying to scare me to death?"
Su Jiyai blinked at his sudden change in tone. "Zhi, it wasn't like that. It was important. If I hadn't done it—"
"No!" Qiang Zhi stomped his foot, glaring up at her with his hands on his hips. "I don't care how important it was! You almost died! Do you know how scared I was?!"
Su Jiyai tried to soothe him, gently patting his head. "I'm okay now, right? Don't worry too much—"
"No, no, no!" Qiang Zhi turned away with a huff. "You always say that, but you still go around doing reckless things! Ugh!"
He spun dramatically toward Qin Feng, pointing at him like a miniature commander.
"You! You have to protect her till I grow up and become strong enough to do it myself!"
Qin Feng raised both eyebrows, slightly amused. "Hmm… That's a pretty big job you're giving me, little man."
