Gu Ningyi's hand unconsciously clenched again, and the force was so great that Dong Xin Yan couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
Gu Ningyi snapped back to reality as his dark eyes took in Dong Xin Yan's face, scrunched up in pain. He then realized he had hurt her, and his hand stiffened slightly before slowly releasing and falling.
Instinctively, Dong Xin Yan took two steps back, creating a distance between her and Gu Ningyi. Her shoulder throbbed with pain. She wanted to rub it, but seeing Gu Ningyi's expression, she held back.
Gu Ningyi said nothing. Dong Xin Yan, seeing his expression, didn't dare to speak either. Both were silent, and the atmosphere gradually became stagnant.
It wasn't until Dong Xin Yan smelled a burnt odor that she furrowed her brow, suddenly remembering she was in the middle of frying beef... Oh god!
Immediately, she turned around to salvage her beef.
