With the glass case in one hand and Shen Lu slung over his other shoulder, Xue Can made it back to the shop just before the downpour.
Cai Su heard the commotion and hurried to the front, helping Shen Lu down.
Shen Lu rubbed her stomach. 'This is so uncomfortable.'
"Mr. Xue, thank you."
Even though she was uncomfortable, Xue Can had still carried her all the way back. Otherwise, she had no idea where she would be right now.
Xue Can grunted in acknowledgment and glanced at the heavy rain outside.
Shen Lu had insisted on going with him, slowing him down. Otherwise, he would have been back at the stronghold by now.
"Mr. Xue, would you like to take a hot shower? I have a washer-dryer, so your clothes will be ready by the time you're done."
Shen Lu was soaked herself, and she figured Xue Can must be in the same state.
Xue Can nodded in agreement.
Shen Lu desperately needed a shower too, so she let Xue Can use the one in the staff dormitory.
