Chapter 402: Strawberries

Shen Xi had the half-eaten candied hawthorn in her mouth, but she didn't dare to bite it. She wished she could escape underground right now.

Guan Lei pulled the shy Shen Xi into his arms so that Shen Xi had a place to hide. His right hand gently caressed Shen Xi's furry little head that was buried in his arms. He lowered his head and said gently, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."

Guan Lei raised his head to look at the student beside him, then made a gesture to leave and left with Shen Xi.

As the surroundings became quieter, Shen Xi quietly poked her head out of Guan Lei's arms. Her guilty expression was like a cute little pet who had just arrived in a new environment, which made Guan Lei's indulgent expression show on his face.

"They can't see me, right?" Shen Xi looked around nervously.

Guan Lei still held onto Shen Xi and did not let go. He teased her, "Maybe they're still watching from afar. You'll have to hide in my arms to be safe."
