"Thank you!" Sheng Ning clenched her fists tightly, feeling incredibly fortunate to have met these friends.
"Hong Mei!" She looked towards Zhang Hongmei, who had remained silent.
When Zhang heard her name, she hung her head and kept quiet.
Zhang Hongmei, accustomed to farm work at home, was in great shape and had impressive endurance after running for so long.
A tinge of melancholy flickered in Sheng Ning's eyes. She slowly unclenched her fists and continued running without saying anything.
Chen Huaying and Liu Yilan exchanged glances, sharing an unspoken smile.
Wu Youli, frowning, also called out softly; despite the quietness of her voice, Zhang Hongmei promptly raised her head and smiled back at her.
In an instant, Youli's eyes became tearful, and she felt a complex mixture of emotions watching Sheng Ning running into the distance.
