"You scared me to death."
Xiaoyi sat on the ground with a look of relief on his face. "Didn't you say that Mother wouldn't probe?"
"Yes." Zhuang Zhuang looked shocked. "When I went to look for her at noon, she wouldn't look at me or talk to me. She didn't pay much attention to me when I spoke to her then. I don't know what's going on now."
Zhuang Zhuang felt very aggrieved. Xiaoguo had clearly ignored him at noon. Who knew that she would suddenly check on them?
The two of them, who had been hoping to get lucky, were now squatting and trembling in the bushes.
"Zhuang Zhuang, let's go out."
Xiaoyi could not take it anymore. His legs were numb from squatting.
Zhuang Zhuang hesitated when he heard that. He looked outside and said, "Okay then. We have to hurry."
Xiaoyi nodded and pulled Zhuang Zhuang closer. The two children jumped out of their hiding place with their backs hunched over.
