Chapter 178: Accident (3)

It could be seen that the platform above her head was about to fall down and that she would not be able to avoid it. If she got hit by it, she might even break her head.

With sudden danger at hand, a bright yellow figure suddenly rushed over to her, holding her by the waist with their hand over her head, protecting her with their big strong body. Then, the two of them crashed down to the floor together before hearing the noise of the platform crashing down.

Being shoved to the floor all of a sudden, Su Yaya’s mind was still confused. She could not respond to the situation at all. What just happened?

She could feel someone on top of her and also hear the sound of pain from their lips. It was right at her ear and very clear. She focused her gaze and look over, just to see the magnified face of an extremely handsome man.

That was the male lead, Xu Chengkun’s face. He had a frown on his face and gritted teeth as if he was enduring great pains. However, the groans that she heard still caused his weakness to show. Then, Su Yaya’s consciousness gradually returned and she finally realized what had happened.

It turns out that the platform above where she stood was not supported strongly enough. As one of the screws fell off, it began to fall while she was standing directly under it. If she did not evade it, then the platform would have smashed her head. Because she was too into watching the scene, she was not able to react, but it was fortunate that Xu Chengkun was standing not far away. Right at the call of danger, he quickly rushed over to her, bringing her away from the direct impact of the platform, firmly protecting her.

Su Yaya looked at the frown on Xu Chengkun’s face. Even if he had makeup on, she could still see that the color had drained from his face and several beads of sweat had formed at his brow. He was clearly hurt, and even badly hurt at that, because this was a pained expression that would only show when someone was in too much pain to bear.

“Are...Are you okay?” Looking at his face, Su Yaya finally found her voice again. When she saw how much pain he was in, her voice came out shaky, filled with concern for him and the worry of having caused him trouble.

“I’m okay,” Xu Chengkun’s voice poured out from between his gritted teeth. He put on a small shred of a smile on his face and asked Su Yaya, “What about you?”

“I...I’m okay,” Su Yaya responded. But she was so worried that she was almost in tears. She felt that Xu Chengkun was only in so much pain because he tried to save her, and it made her so sad that tears began welling up in her eyes. If she blinked, those tears would instantly come flowing down. Just think about how painful it was to have the platform fall on you!

“Don’t cry, I’m fine.” Xu Chengkun saw the tears welling up in her eyes looking like she was about to cry, it was pitiful. Even though his face was clearly pale and his body in pain, he still put on a smile to comfort her.

“Are you in a lot of pain?” Even Su Yaya’s body was trembling. She could tell that he was definitely in a lot of pain. There was no way anyone would not feel pain from being hit by something like that.

Xu Chengkun mustered a chuckle and said, “Well, I’m a man. It’s my duty to protect women.”

Su Yaya’s voice was shaking. “But this is very dangerous.”

Xu Chengkun didn’t mind at all. He even joked with Su Yaya. “Don’t you think this is just like the dramas? And that we’re reading lines in one of those series right now?”

“You still have the mood to joke at a time like this?” Su Yaya looked at him helplessly. But she was grateful that he said that because it made her feel better, but her tears still fell uncontrollably.
