The exhausted Pea fell asleep as soon as Wanxia carried her into the car.
From the amusement park to the Qingshui Bay Villa, the journey was silent, with no one speaking.
When they got home, after Gu Shaozhi parked the car, he got out, went around to the passenger side, opened the door, and said softly to Wanxia, "I'll carry."
He didn't mean to carry Wanxia into the house, but rather the Pea in her arms.
Pea had been sleeping for as long as the car had been moving, and Wanxia had held her the entire time, barely moving, causing one side of her body to go stiff.
Even getting out of the car was a bit challenging.
She didn't refuse the man's goodwill.
Gu Shaozhi bent over, took Pea from her arms, and instead of stepping toward the house, stood by the car.
Although he said nothing, Wanxia seemed to understand his meaning.
She pursed her lips, lifted her hand to hold the man's arm, using his strength to move her stiff legs, and whispered, "Thank you."
