"The rain's still coming down hard. Be careful."
In front of the Welfare Institute, the Dean warned everyone.
Cha Tiantian was supporting the Dean from beside her and comforting her. "Don't worry, Dean. Chen Yu's usually pretty quick-witted. He should be fine."
"If he were really quick-witted, he wouldn't have done something this stupid!" the Dean snapped. "Is this how I taught him? Stealing someone else's car and driving without a license—is that what I taught him?"
"He's still young, and he's a boy..."
"Don't make excuses for him!"
Cha Tiantian could only fall silent. The Dean was genuinely furious, and at times like this, no one could talk her down... Soon, the Little Yellow Bus and the black MPV drove off one after another.
Zi Ling's Mother wasn't actually driving the old Little Yellow Bus that the Welfare Institute usually used to take the children to school in the county... The driver was Old Man Li, the gatekeeper.
Besides guarding the gate, Old Man Li also worked as the Welfare Institute's driver. The reason he wouldn't let Ren Ziling drive was simple: he didn't want anyone else touching his Little Yellow Bus.
If they hadn't been so anxious to find someone, Zi Ling's Mother would definitely have argued with Old Man Li.
Besides Liu Susu, Lizi was also traveling with them... Things were much simpler on Luo Qiu's side, since they were taking the same route they had come by.
The windshield wipers were already on their highest setting, but a layer of water still blurred the windshield. Their speed was limited, and even with the high beams on, they could only make out a hazy stretch of road ahead.
The atmosphere inside the Little Yellow Bus was somewhat oppressive... Old Man Li, however, seemed completely at ease.
