"Zhujian."
"Long time no see."
"Hey, is it okay now?"
The sanitation worker hurried over.
He was panting.
"I knocked on the door for ages. Really loudly, too..."
But he had no idea what was happening inside.
The security door was too soundproof.
He couldn't hold back any longer, so he'd run downstairs to check.
He was worried he'd just keep trying in vain upstairs, without knowing if something had happened...
"The child's safe now."
Xiao Xiao's lips curled into a smile.
"Thanks for all your effort."
"...Really?"
After standing there in a daze for a few seconds, the sanitation worker suddenly looked up.
The child was no longer visible on the balcony.
He let out a huge sigh of relief.
His face relaxed.
"That's wonderful."
"That kid really scared me half to death..."
"If he'd fallen from a building this tall..."
"Spit, spit!"
The sanitation worker lightly tapped his mouth.
He didn't want to jinx it.
"We have you to thank."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
"The child probably heard you knocking and went back inside."
"Really?"
The sanitation worker was delighted.
If that was the case, then running himself nearly out of breath hadn't been for nothing.
"Hey."
The sanitation worker suddenly thought of something and furrowed his brow. "What if the child comes back out in a little while?"
Now he was leaving.
No one would be knocking on the door anymore.
But he couldn't stand there knocking forever, either.
"Don't worry."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the home across from the child's.
"The old lady who first noticed the child was in danger went to call the child's parents."
"They should be back soon."
"Really?"
The sanitation worker's face lit up.
"That's good, that's good..."
"Now I can leave without worrying."
