Gao Xue'e was silent at this moment, just staring dazedly at He Kao, as if she hadn't heard or understood, her hair still dripping, her clothes wet and sticking to her body.
The way she looked, according to the old saying of the villagers, was like she was bewitched and needed to be hit with a broom.
He Kao simply squatted down to put shoes on Gao Xue'e. The shoes were a bit big but it didn't matter. Seeing no broom around, he stood up and forcefully patted her face: "President E, are you okay? Let's go quickly!"
Gao Xue'e suddenly burst into tears, sat up straight, and immediately hugged He Kao, burying her face in his abdomen, stifling her cries... He Kao helped her up and hurried out of the room with her.
Gao Xue'e draped her right hand over He Kao's shoulder, leaning her entire soft body against him. He Kao held her waist with his left arm, almost carrying her forward, with a phone still pinched between his fingers.
