Jiang Qingli's breath caught in her throat when she realized Ye Linyuan was using his own body to shield her from the bullets.
She quickly tried to explain, "Don't worry about me, I can—"
Before she could finish, Ye Linyuan covered her mouth.
"Shut up."
Ye Linyuan's brow furrowed as he spoke his first words to her since they'd met.
Jiang Qingli: "..."
030: [?Oh, so we're playing it cool now, are we?]
The stick-figure 030 rolled up its non-existent sleeves and started "punching and kicking" at Ye Linyuan in mid-air.
Just as it threw a couple of moves, Ye Linyuan suddenly lifted his gaze.
030 froze in terror.
But it quickly realized Ye Linyuan wasn't looking at it, but at the surrounding robots.
Jiang Qingli also poked her head out from his suffocating embrace to assess the situation.
They were now backed against the glass pod that had been half-shattered earlier, with most of the bullets hitting the thick glass cover.
But it clearly wouldn't last much longer.
