She always felt like she hadn't truly escaped, that it went too smoothly, and she constantly felt like there were eyes glaring at her from behind, making her hair stand on end.
That's why she was so anxious, she had to run, hoping to shake off that bad feeling. Fortunately, Xiao Hua Mei seemed to be in much better spirits, which made her want to run faster, the farther the better.
She feared Xiao Hua Mei couldn't hold on, and along the way, she would often ask if she was alright. Xiao Hua Mei always responded positively, saying she wanted to see her parents soon, so the girls ran all the way here.
