"I'm leaving."
Jing Shu Cui wanted to call out to stop her, but when she opened her mouth, not a single word came out.
Ling Zhiwei was fuming as he walked alone down an old street on the outskirts of the city.
He had just reached the bridge when he heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him.
Shanshan had caught up to him, panting.
He didn't even turn around, just waved his hand forcefully in dismissal.
"Go on, get out of here! Stop making trouble! If you don't go home now, a kidnapper's going to snatch you up, and then it'll be too late for tears!"
"Fourth Brother, I'm not leaving!"
"You're coming home with me! Your mom is looking for you, everyone's looking for you!"
Shanshan stuck right behind him, not falling a single step behind.
The PATTER PATTER PATTER of her footsteps behind him seemed to strike Ling Zhiwei's heart with every step.
"Stop following me! If you keep it up, I'm washing my hands of you!"
