Chen Shouyi was startled.
Mice aren't exactly tame creatures. When they get aggressive, their bites can be quite fierce, and they carry all sorts of germs.
He quickly looked under the bed but realized he had been overthinking things.
He had completely overestimated Shell Lady's courage.
He saw her cautiously eyeing the mouse in the corner, cautiously and sneakily taking steps backward.
When she noticed Chen Shouyi's feet, she seemed to see a lifeline, quickly retreated a few steps, and grabbed Chen Shouyi's pant leg tightly, her body trembling.
Chen Shouyi grabbed Shell Lady and placed her back on the bed, teasingly saying, "Weren't you interested in seeing the mouse just now?"
"You liar, isn't this a mouse?" She looked frightened and on the verge of tears.
"Mice aren't like this!"
Chen Shouyi was taken aback.
Realizing the situation, he couldn't help but find it amusing.
