"Really?"
Child's Mom looked a little surprised.
She had always thought this man had saved her child.
She hadn't expected...
She turned her head.
She reached out and gently poked the child's forehead.
"You little rascal."
"Don't do that again."
"You were lucky this time."
"You might not be next time."
I shook my head slightly.
"Do you remember what Little Brother said?"
Xiao Xiao raised an eyebrow.
"You should be cautious when talking to strangers."
"Understand?"
The child hadn't even had time to react...
The woman smiled.
It wasn't likely, but there was always a chance.
I gave an apologetic smile.
Shu Hu watched with interest from the side as the aftermath of their rescue unfolded.
"Next time you want something out of reach, remember to ask an adult nearby for help."
"Just now..."
Child's Mom's expression softened.
I gradually fell behind, leisurely making my way toward the exit.
After a brief pause, Child's Mom started to get up and move past the child.
At first, everything had happened so quickly that the child hadn't been able to react at all.
I didn't see Shu Hu anywhere.
"That's why I didn't fall."
I felt awkward.
Xiao Xiao shook his head, looking amused.
"Thank you."
Since Mom had said that, the child set aside the small doubt in his mind.
The rest didn't matter.
You're safe, and that's what matters.
The woman was half-convinced.
The child tilted his head.
"Was it this?"
"Maybe you were too scared at the time..."
"Mm."
"Got it."
"Bao Bao, make sure to wake Mom if you feel unwell."
The woman stood up.
The mostly empty carriage offered a clear view of everything.
He headed toward the subway station.
Xiao Xiao looked up.
