"No, no need."
Xu Qizhen hurriedly waved his hands.
"I'll just call a cab."
Xu Qizhen didn't want to keep troubling Student Xiao.
He felt rather regretful.
It hadn't been raining when he left home.
He hadn't checked the weather forecast, either.
He hadn't expected it to start raining halfway through his journey.
Earlier, it had only been drizzling.
He hadn't minded.
He'd simply walked faster.
And his carelessness had startled Big Dog.
But now the rain had grown heavier.
If he went out like this with nothing to shield him...
He was a little worried about his health.
"I'll wait until you get in the car."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Don't worry about it."
"I'm not so busy that I can't spare this little bit of time."
Xu Qizhen froze for a moment.
Then he smiled, too.
"Okay."
"It's hard to get a taxi here."
Xiao Xiao glanced around.
They were on a narrow road in front of the apartment buildings.
It would be hard to give the driver an exact location.
And it would be difficult for a car to turn around here.
"Let's go outside."
"Okay."
Xu Qizhen nodded.
"Thank you, Student Xiao."
"Although whenever I run into you, I'm always in a pretty sorry state..."
That really did bother him a little.
But from another perspective...
"...you've been pretty unlucky to run into me like this, too."
Xu Qizhen gave an awkward laugh.
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.
Xu Qizhen rubbed his neck.
He cleared his throat a few times.
"It's just that whenever something goes wrong with me..."
"I always end up troubling you to help me..."
Did that mean he was nothing but trouble to Student Xiao?
Student Xiao probably wasn't very happy to see him, was he?
