"If we leave, our teacher is going to be lonely." A little girl by the side continued, "We are very good kids and we don't mind living in the tent. Mr. Firefighter, can you ask the adults to let us stay?"
The two children's tender words, filled with simple hopes, were spoken softly because they were afraid of angering the adults. It was a heart-wrenching sight for the adults around them.
If they were children of other families, they would have been cherished by their parents. However, even though they were very young, they knew how to observe the atmosphere and speak accordingly.
"Let's eat, shall we?" Lu Yuqing did not know how to answer the kids' simple request. She was only an ordinary citizen and had no say at all. It was under the jurisdiction of the relevant authorities.
Lu Xingzhi finally came. Perhaps his cold expression was too intense, the children scurried behind the firefighters upon seeing him. They looked at him with fear in their eyes.
"You scared the kids," complained Jiang Yao as she shoved Lu Xingzhi away.
What did he do?!
"Stay here, Darling, I have some errands to run at the platoon command center." He continued, "look after Sis. Do not let Huang Chengjing get anywhere near her. He doesn't deserve my sister."
And off he went after giving Jiang Yao a gentle pat on the head.
