"Stop!" The bodyguard's hand froze at Huo Ji'an's terrified scream. Seeing his face turn pale, he quickly explained, "Young master, this knife is fake; it's not sharp."

To prove it, he drew the blade heavily across his own hand, but nothing happened. "We're in a kindergarten. How could I bring a real knife?"

"Phew." Qin Bei exhaled heavily in relief.

The bodyguard chuckled, "Young Master Qin, you should learn from Zhouzhou."

Everyone turned to look at Zhouzhou, who, oblivious to their gazes, had pulled a sesame bun out of her bag and was munching away. She blinked her big, round eyes in confusion at their stares.

Qin Bei sighed. "She's just too focused on eating to notice anything else."

Qin Nan reviewed the footage with satisfaction. Pointing to the bodyguard, he said, "You're the perfect kidnapper and Huo Ji'an, your fear looked very real."

Huo Ji'an, swallowing his real fear, merely nodded. He couldn't admit how terrified he actually was.
