Mo Shiche's dark pupils gazed intensely at her, suddenly leaning in closer.
Only when Luo Qiangwei was nearly unable to breathe did the man reluctantly release her, his Adam's apple bobbing. He leaned his forehead against hers, his voice husky as he said, "I'll wait for you in the car."
"Okay."
Mo Shiche left.
Luo Qiangwei washed her face several times with cold water and fully dried her hair with a hairdryer before leaving the bathroom.
After the injection, Ding Fanying lectured her again. Luo Qiangwei fobbed her off by saying Mo Shiche had something to do and had already left, then took off her shoes, lay down beside her mother, and snuggled in her mother's arms.
The mother and daughter had a heart-to-heart talk until past eleven before Ding Fanying finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep.
