'Did it get stuck in the bushes again?' Shen Yibin sighed in frustration. He had no choice but to turn back and search slowly. But even after checking every corner of the maze, he still couldn't find any trace of Carmen.
'Looks like I can't find it by myself. I should go get Sun Qian and Sakai Kaori to help.' By now, Shen Yibin's eyes were sore from searching. He could only exit the maze to call for help. But the moment he stepped out, he was startled. 'Holy shit, when did you get out?' Carmen was squatting by the entrance with a goofy grin, wagging its tail at Shen Yibin, as if mocking him for taking so long to get out.
"You got out a long time ago?" Shen Yibin scratched his head. 'This makes no sense. It took me forever to get out, but you—the one who's always getting stuck—actually beat me to it?'
"AWOO~ AWOO~" Carmen barked excitedly a couple of times, then ran up to Shen Yibin and nuzzled its head against his calf. It really did look like it had gotten out by itself.
