Bai Tingxin's face paled as he immediately lunged right in front of Qin Lianyi, saying, "Young Master Yi, Lianyi's just doing this for her friend. If it has irritated you, I'll bear the consequences for her."
"Bai Tingxin, I don't need you to help me. I can bear the consequences myself!" said Qin Lianyi.
"How are you going to do that?! What do you think you can bear?" Bai Tingxin said angrily.
"I'll just let him beat me to a pulp! I'm mentally prepared for that!"
"Qin Lianyi, are you trying to piss me off?"
Bai Tingxin found that his temper, which had always been under control previously, would always go haywire when it came to Qin Lianyi.
Yi Jinli stared coldly at Qin Lianyi, clearly not intending to let her go that easily.
However, Ling Yiran, who was so drunk that she had fallen asleep, suddenly rubbed her head against Qin Lianyi's shoulder. She said in a mutter, "Lianyi... Don't be afraid... I'll protect Lianyi..."
Qin Lianyi's eyes reddened immediately. 'She still wants to protect me even if she’s drunk?'
Yi Jinli stared intently at the drunk Ling Yiran. A moment later, he turned around and left without saying a word.
Gao Congming, who was next to him, quickly followed him.
Qin Lianyi felt a layer of cold sweat on her back when she was blown by the cold wind.
"But Yiran's my best friend!" Qin Lianyi's voice was a little muffled. It was as if this stood for everything.
Bai Tingxin's eyes flashed with shock. He always knew that Lianyi and Ling Yiran were very close. When Ling Yiran was in prison, this girl could give up the opportunity to study abroad and run back to work on Ling Yiran's case. This sacrifice was not something any friend could do.
He thought that was the limit of the friendship between the two women, but it turned out to be more than that.
"Why are you willing to do so much for her?" Bai Tingxin's voice cracked.
"Because Yiran chose to trust me when I was at my most helpless," said Qin Lianyi. The scene of that year seemed to appear before her eyes.
