"Master Xiao, thank you."
Su Xun tightened his grip on the steering wheel. "Thank you for avenging those two children."
"If it weren't for you, I might never have been able to let them rest in peace."

Su Xun slowed the car.
Even with the headlights on, visibility had grown terrible.

Fei Fei, who had been quietly perched on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, opened her eyes and looked up at the sky
