Chapter 5 The Old Ghost
"Squeak..."
This was the fourth time today that Jiang Wenxin had to slam on the brakes. Dou Dou, sitting in the passenger seat, banged her head into the glove compartment, utterly unaffected by the supposed security of the seat belt.
With a struggle of her short legs, she pulled her little head out of the glove compartment and said foolishly, "Mommy, I'm still fine, I'm really amazing."
Looking at her daughter's adorable demeanor, the corners of Jiang Wenxin's eyes were damp with moisture.
The first time Jiang Wenxin braked abruptly, it gave her quite the scare, until Dou Dou comforted her, and she remembered that Dou Dou wasn't a living being - bumping into the dashboard had no effect on her.
The reason she braked so abruptly was that someone had suddenly dashed out from the side of the road – her reaction was only to hit the brakes reflexively.
The first time it happened, she hadn't realized that the other party wasn't human. She wanted to confront them, but thinking of Dou Dou, she felt she shouldn't waste her time on such trivial matters.
Yet unexpectedly, it seemed that the person noticed Jiang Wenxin's gaze and directly poked half their body through the windshield, scaring her into a cold white sweat until she realized they were like Dou Dou – not human.
Fortunately, Dou Dou was fiercely protective, and directly "roared" at the person.
"This is my mom's car, you're not allowed to get on."
Her little form first startled the person; then it seemed they got angry, glaring at Dou Dou, who then jerked in fright and involuntarily curled back.
