Personally
The stage was one thing.
It was far away from her.
But now...
This scene was happening at her workplace, right before her eyes, only...
A stone's throw away.
But Xiao Chen still had some basic sense.
There was absolutely no way she could agree to let the old lady go in and get the flower.
"Well..."
The old lady was very anxious. "My flower..."
She clenched her hands. "My flower..."
How was she supposed to get her flower?
The old lady was far too anxious.
Her mind had gone blank.
"Grandma Xu."
The staff member tried to reassure the old lady. "Don't worry."
"You can't go in."
"How about I ask someone who can go in to bring it out for you?"
"Huh?"
The old lady was a little confused.
Someone who could go in?
Oh, right.
The old lady suddenly understood.
Of course there were people who could go in.
Otherwise, who fed these snakes?
The old lady nodded.
She still felt a little disappointed.
Her expression was pleading, too.
"Is there really no way to let me go in and get it myself?"
"I..."
The old lady clasped her hands tightly. "I want to take the flower she gave me from Qian Qian with my own hands."
Xiao Chen looked troubled.
"Grandma Xu."
"That's against the rules."
"And it's dangerous—"
"Qian Qian won't hurt me."
The old lady cut Xiao Chen off.
They'd been friends for a lifetime...
No.
The old lady thought of Qian Qian as family.
"Grandma Xu..."
Xiao Chen shook her head.
If anything went wrong...
She couldn't be held responsible.
"Please."
The old lady had come to her senses, and she was less and less willing to let someone else fetch the flower
