Chapter 1949

If it weren’t for Uncle, Brother, Brother You, and Guisu’s help, I’m afraid I would have died countless times already.

As she thought about this, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier, and she slowly fell asleep leaning against the window.

Suddenly, a violent turbulence jolted Baili Xia awake.

The helicopter was shaking violently, and she nearly fell off her seat onto the ground.

Baili Xia didn’t know what was happening; she could only hold tightly onto the armrests on either side.

Looking up, Mu Xiaojiu had already gotten up at some point and walked to the front cockpit, talking to the captain.

Through the glass door, you could see his stern face.

Suddenly, the helicopter plunged downward abruptly.

“Ah!” Baili Xia couldn’t help but scream.

The sudden feeling of weightlessness would make anyone feel insecure.

But it was only for a moment; the helicopter suddenly floated upward again several times.

Baili Xia didn’t dare to look anymore; she quickly closed her eyes, holding the armrests tightly, trying not to get thrown out.

“Uncle, save me…”

A thought flashed through her mind, and without hesitation, she cried out.

The helicopter was getting more turbulent, bouncing up and down as if completely out of control.

Baili Xia’s mind went blank, and in an instant, her hands seemed to lose strength, unable to hold onto the armrests anymore.

More terrifyingly, the seatbelt had somehow come loose…

“Ah…”

She was finally thrown out; she closed her eyes, waiting for the moment she would hit the steel plates in the cabin and suffer intense pain.

But when she hit something, she didn’t feel any pain at all.

Her body was tightly secured by something, and despite the helicopter’s continued shaking, it was as if she was tied in the cabin, with no worry of being thrown out.

Baili Xia mustered the courage to open her eyes, veiled with a misty haze due to fear.

“Uncle.”

In front of her was Mu Xiaojiu’s strong body, holding Baili Xia tightly in his right arm.

His left hand grabbed a handle in the cabin, his feet planted firmly on the ground.

No matter how violently the helicopter shook, he stood unmoved.

“Don’t be afraid.” He looked down at Baili Xia, softly comforting her.

In his arms, Baili Xia felt his warmth, her heart growing warmer.

Leaning against this sturdy body, her fear diminished greatly, she wasn’t as scared anymore.

She reached out her hand, wrapping it around Mu Xiaojiu’s back, holding him tightly.

As long as she was next to him, those dangers seemed to drift further away.

Mu Xiaojiu looked down at the girl tightly clinging to him.

It made him feel indescribably comfortable.

But this closeness made him increasingly uncomfortable, his body growing hotter.

If it weren’t for the helicopter’s turbulence requiring him to maintain his balance, he would want to hold her tightly right away.

She kept embracing him so tightly that she didn’t even notice the helicopter had stabilized long ago.

After a long time, she suddenly snapped back, raising her head abruptly to meet his burning gaze.

Baili Xia’s face flushed; she quickly let go, pushing Mu Xiaojiu’s arms away from her waist with force.

She took several steps back to her seat and sat down again, her gaze fixed on the window outside.

Just now, she distinctly felt Uncle’s body was scorching hot; he actually…

Uncle actually had such feelings for her!

Oh heavens, this time, he’s sober!

It wasn’t the first time Uncle reacted like this while holding her, but he was drunk before.

Now…

Baili Xia’s mind was in turmoil, a complete mess.

Clearly, why… does it feel so natural?
