On the mountain path, suddenly a figure approached with quick steps, stopping not far from the hut, hesitating to move forward.
The two people inside the small wooden house were snuggled together as they slept.
Di Yelei's eyes suddenly snapped open, a glimmer of light flashing in their depths.
Gently getting up, he immediately roused her, who had originally been sound asleep.
"Hmm? Ye Lei..." She called out lazily.
Her eyes were still half-closed, revealing a tender and affectionate gaze as she unconsciously rubbed her face on the thin quilt.
"Sisi, be good. I'm here; just go back to sleep."
Carefully placing her naughty little hand that had slipped out of the quilt back inside, he checked the window before silently leaving the room.
Outside, Yuan Mengbai lingered, pacing back and forth on the nearby path, his face wrought with indecision.
Seeing Di Yelei come out, the two stared silently at each other.
"Let's go! I'll go and check it out again."
