As soon as Su Yang saw her, she ran towards her, lowering her voice, "Zhaozhao, where have you been? We couldn't find you anywhere, we were about to report to the instructor!"
Shen Zhaozhao glanced in the direction of their class instructor, who was sitting not far away, and said, "I was picking up firewood on the mountain just now when I found a girl from the next class injured. I helped her down, so that took some time."
"So that's what happened. We saved some food for you, I'll go get it for you!" Su Yang believed her without doubt and ran off to fetch her food.
It wasn't that Shen Zhaozhao intended to cover for the girl deliberately, but she was worried the instructor would pursue the matter of them entering the deep mountains without permission.
