The soup base was red and spicy, still steaming hot. Anyone who saw it being splashed onto the little girl would feel a pang of heartache.
At that critical moment, a pair of hands reached out from the side of the waiter and, with lightning speed, pulled the little girl away—
The next moment, the entire pool of hot pot broth spilled onto the little boy behind the little girl.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
The little boy let out a sharp scream, and then almost everyone in the store looked over.
"Soft and soft—"
A woman with a gentle voice staggered to the little girl, examining her from head to toe with tears in her eyes.
Clearly, she witnessed the whole thing, but it was too late to rush forward and stop it.
Fortunately, the little girl's skin was not stained with any soup. Only her skirt and shoes were splashed with some soup when it fell to the ground because they were too close. Still shaken, she clung to the gentle woman's neck and sobbed softly.
The woman looked up, wanting to thank Xiao He for saving her, but as soon as their eyes met, they both widened their eyes in surprise.
Xiao He glanced at the woman, then looked incredulously at the soft body in her arms, and gasped.
Good heavens, isn't that his master's wife?
No wonder he thought this "little cake" looked familiar; the last time this little girl came to pick up Teacher Songzhe from get off work, she was also wearing an adorable princess dress!
Oh my god, thank goodness! Thank goodness we met! It was so close, so very close!
The feeling of saving a stranger is quite different from the feeling of saving someone you know. Xiao He was filled with relief and lingering fear.
"Thanks--"
Zhang Wanyue wiped away her tears and thanked Xiao He very solemnly.
Before Xiao He could speak, the woman who had arrived let out a piercing scream—
"Ahhh, my Pengpeng!!!"
"Pengpeng, how are you?"
Wang Yan rushed over and frantically wiped the hot pot broth off the little boy's body, while the little boy kept crying loudly, looking very pitiful.
After witnessing what had just happened, Xiao He could only sneer.
Serves them right, it's a shame they didn't scald the parent too.
What kind of family could raise such a child? Xiao He could see it clearly; that little boy had deliberately pushed Ruan Ruan!
Haha, reaping what you sow.
"Call the police! Call the police to arrest this person!"
Crying, Wang Yan grabbed the innocent shop assistant and yelled at him. The shop assistant, caught in the crossfire, was at a loss, only able to apologize profusely: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect her to suddenly bump into me, I'm so sorry—"
"You damned thing, you ruined my Pengpeng, I'll never forgive you!"
The shop owner quickly arrived and tried to help her employee out of the predicament: "We've already called the police and an ambulance! We'll deal with whatever happens when the police arrive! First, rinse the child with cold water and do some basic first aid! Otherwise, it will get worse!"
The landlady's words finally calmed Wang Yan down a bit, and she quickly took the little boy to treat his wounds.
Just then, Song Zhe arrived.
"What happened?"
Song Zhe had obviously heard what was happening, and quickly knelt down to pick up Ruan Ruan and check her carefully, "Are you alright, Ruan Ruan?"
