The little boy didn't notice the strange adult at first, froze holding his shovel. Moreover, Xia Siyu's action startled the boy's mother, who quickly came over—fearing she was a kidnapper trying to snatch her child.
Bo Yan quickly approached: "What are you doing? Don't scare the people."
The child's mother arrived swiftly, hurriedly took the child away. Her expression was almost like she wanted to write the word "call the police" on her face. Especially now during the pandemic when everyone wears masks. Kidnappers nowadays wouldn't have "kidnapper" written on their faces. Even if Xia Siyu and Bo Yan look respectable, what if this is a new kind of scam?
Xia Siyu looked extremely frustrated: "Really? Is it that bad? Is everyone going to hate me like this?"
Bo Yan's expression read "indeed it is," but he still comforted her verbally: "Don't be too anxious. Your sudden appearance can scare even adults. If you showed your face, perhaps the adults would let you get closer to the kids."
