Dad knew Mom was going out, but Jie Jingchen didn't. Qin Mei had wanted to call out for Jie Jingchen, but seeing Mrs. Xie's cautious demeanor, it was clear she was sneaking out. "Mom, maybe I should tell Jie Jingchen."
"He can't know. If he finds out, he won't let us go," Mrs. Xie said, patting the back seat of the bicycle. "Hurry, get on."
Hearing Mrs. Xie say that, Qin Mei suddenly found it thrilling. At the same time, she grew wary. 'Is it safe to go out this late?'
Seeing how anxious Mrs. Xie was, Qin Mei, with the resolve of someone risking it all to accompany a friend, gritted her teeth and got on the bicycle.
