Lu Shaoqing held Mi Xiaotao in his arms and entered the elevator, heading straight to the underground parking lot. Her emotions were unstable, and she kept sobbing in his embrace. He wanted to take her to the hospital for a checkup to feel more assured.
Opening the car door, he placed Mi Xiaotao in the passenger seat and then walked to the driver's seat. He turned to fasten her seatbelt, and just as he was about to sit back, she suddenly lunged into his arms, sobbing, "Brother Lu, I'm so scared! Just thinking about that soft thing crawling over my foot makes me shiver!"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Lu Shaoqing patted Mi Xiaotao's back, comforting her, "It's my fault for not getting there sooner to save you!"
He felt very remorseful and self-blaming, wishing he had called her earlier.
"Brother Lu, I want to go home and take a shower!"
Mi Xiaotao wanted to hurry back and take a shower to wash away the disgusting feeling of the snake crawling over her foot.
