Mu Xiaoxiao did not speak.
Song Shijun knew that she was feeling upset and did not dare to disturb her excessively. He thought carefully before saying, “I’ll buy a strawberry milkshake for you then, okay?”
She did not answer, so he took her silence as agreement.
Song Shijun got out of the car and went into the bubble tea shop nearby.
After ten minutes, Song Shijun carried a bag full of food out from the shop.
He opened the car door and got in.
“Xiaoxiao, these are for…”
He turned towards the shotgun seat. However, there was no one there. Song Shijun froze.
Where was Xiaoxiao?
Where was Xiaoxiao!
His reaction was a little delayed. He first turned back towards the backseats to ascertain that Xiaoxiao was not there before scrambling out of the car hastily.
“Xiaoxiao!” Mu Xiaoxiao!”
He shouted into the surroundings but got no reply.
What should he do, what should he do…
Xiaoxiao was missing!
Song Shijun was in a terrible panic. If Yin Shaojie knew that he had lost Xiaoxiao, he would be beaten to death! He also did not want anything to happen to Xiaoxiao.
Seriously, how could Xiaoxiao run out like that? She didn’t even tell him!
Song Shijun calmed down. After thinking for a split second, he remembered that Xiaoxiao had her phone and he thus made a call to her. However, the call was terminated after a few seconds.
Song Shijun felt helpless. The most important priority right now was to ascertain Xiaoxiao’s safety.
Thus, the gears in his head turned and he realized that he could send a text message to Xiaoxiao.
——My goodness, can you at least let me know if you’re safe? Are you trying to scare me to death? Please, take my call!
After sending that, he made another hasty call to her.
It was picked up this time.
“I’m okay. You can go back first. I want to look for him on my own,” Mu Xiaoxiao said calmly.
Song Shijun sighed. “Xiaoxiao, don’t be like this. I’m not unwilling to accompany you to look for him. Just let me accompany you to look for him, okay? Where are you now? I’ll go over and pick you up.”
Mu Xiaoxiao was especially stubborn today.
“There’s no need. I want to be alone. Relax, nothing will happen to me. Go back and tell me if there is any news. I’m hanging up now.” With that, Mu Xiaoxiao ended the call.
“Xiaoxiao!” Song Shijun did not even have the chance to say anything back.
She asked him to go back first? How could she do that!
Song Shijun was in a panic. He drummed his fingers on his car as he deliberated on what he should do.
He opened the car door and got in.
He typed rapidly on his phone and sent a message to Yin Shaojie.
——Where the heck are you? Xiaoxiao has been looking all over for you. She ran out on her own and is determined to track you down. Call her when you see this message and stop fighting with her.
Right now, he could only hope that Yin Shaojie would see this message immediately. If he did, it would solve all his problems instantly.
Yin Shaojie cared for Xiaoxiao a lot, so even if they did get into a bad fight, he would definitely drop everything to look for her once he knew something might happen to her.
Song Shijun started the engine. He stared at the three roads ahead of him before finally picking one to drive towards.
He hoped that this was the road Xiaoxiao had picked.
He hoped that he would be able to find her quickly.
…
However, Mu Xiaoxiao did not walk down any of the three roads.
She walked into an elementary school nearby.
