The SUV appeared so suddenly that Su Lan and Xia Ran were frightened out of their wits.
Standing there in terror, their throats seemingly stuffed with cotton, they were unable to scream. Their lips trembled, and their feet tried desperately to move and run away.
But their feet felt as if they were nailed to the ground, unable to budge.
All they could do was watch helplessly as the SUV drew closer and closer to them.
Just as the SUV was about to crash into them,
a piercing screech of brakes filled the air.
The SUV stopped right in front of them, only ten centimeters away.
It was only when the car had stopped that Su Lan and Xia Ran started to come to their senses.
Su Lan stood rigid, her back drenched in cold sweat, her heart beating heavily and rapidly as if someone was incessantly hammering inside her.
Thump, thump, thump.
Xia Ran's legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the ground, her face deathly pale, her forehead slick with cold sweat, her whole body still trembling.
