"Rookie!"
In the bustling crowd, amidst the noise and clamor, a voice came hurtling through the chaos. Actually, Li Wei didn't hear it but noticed the unusual focus in the gaze of Kelsey and others, all gathering behind him, prompting Li Wei to instinctively turn around.
Before he could see clearly, a ball of light rushed towards him, crashing into his embrace without time to react.
Li Wei's first physical reaction was to use the force for an over-the-shoulder throw, but he stopped when his hands grabbed onto the fragile, slender shoulders in front of him.
"Ariana?"
The ponytail gave away her identity.
Li Wei was filled with confusion, unable to understand why Ariana would appear here.
Ariana's heart raced uncontrollably, as if a moth to a flame, she finally broke into the halo of the sun, spreading her arms to embrace that figure.
Scorching, blazing, intense, wild.
