Xiao Rou's gaze carried a hint of timidity, not because of the request she made, but because she was genuinely still a bit scared.
Zhou Qi agreed without a second thought: "Of course you can."
Xiao Rou instantly felt a lot safer in her heart, Zhou Qi smiled at her: "Let's go, let's head back."
On the drive back to the team, Xiao Rou received a call from Xu Qingqing. She briefly told her what had happened, and Xu Qingqing was also worried, comforting Xiao Rou with a few words without saying much more.
Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao never called, probably because they hadn't noticed the news, which allowed Xiao Rou to breathe a sigh of relief.
As Xiao Rou was preoccupied with these thoughts, she didn't pay attention to the car's route. After driving for a while, Zhou Qi suddenly pulled the car over on the roadside: "Wait for me a moment, I'll be right back."
Xiao Rou was a bit puzzled as Zhou Qi opened the car door and stepped out.
