Accidents come without warning.
Jiang Nanshu had no time to react when the rack came crashing down; her position left her no chance to escape.
She clenched her teeth, raised her hands to shield her head, trying to minimize the damage to her body.
Yet she was suddenly encompassed in a warm embrace.
"Uh..." A muffled grunt sounded, which quickly turned into a pained moan.
Jiang Leyi, with Jiang Nanshu in tow, hit the ground hard, the metal rack pinning her down as she pressed tightly against Jiang Nanshu.
Jiang Nanshu was stunned by the impact until she felt something unusually sticky at her chest and realized something was wrong. She supported Jiang Leyi with one hand as she struggled to push the metal rack off them.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..." Jiang Leyi winced in pain, drenched in cold sweat.
Only then did Jiang Nanshu notice a piece of solid wire piercing through Jiang Leyi's shoulder, the weight having driven it completely through.
