"I wanted to explain, but then I thought there was no need..."
Even though he wasn't Sha Sha's parent, he was indeed her guardian in Yanjing.
"...They're still waiting for an apology..."
"But no matter how I try to reason with this girl, she just won't listen..."
"What can I do?"
"I practically want to throw in the towel."
Zhang Bo's face scrunched up.
"The one saving grace is that the other child's parents are reasonable people."
If they'd run into someone who wasn't willing to let it go so easily, they'd really have had a hard time of it.
Just imagining that scene was terrifying.
Zhang Bo shuddered.
Thank goodness, thank goodness.
He hadn't encountered the worst-case scenario.
"Oh, one more thing."
Zhang Bo's lips curled into a grin.
"Good thing I had the foresight to arrange to meet you a little later."
Otherwise, Third Brother would have had a long wait...
"Sha Sha."
Zhang Bo, who had been keeping an eye on the girl walking ahead, hurried up to her.
He pulled her to the side.
Two women chatting and laughing walked right past the spot where Sha Sha had been, completely unaware.
If Zhang Bo hadn't reacted quickly, one of them might have bumped into Sha Sha.
"Be careful."
Zhang Bo reminded the girl.
Even though this girl had given him a headache earlier, he hadn't forgotten his duty as her guardian.
"It's crowded here."
"Look around you when you walk."
"Or should I hold your hand?"
Zhang Bo suggested.
Sha Sha turned her head.
She ignored Zhang Bo's outstretched hand.
Zhang Bo: ...
He shrugged.
All right.
He got it.
The girl wasn't afraid of him.
But she didn't seem to like him much, either.
Zhang Bo looked at Xiao Xiao.
