After Mrs. Duan and her daughter left, Su Jingchen shot Yu Xiaolian a meaningful glance.
"Was that fun?"
"It was... alright!" For some reason, Yu Xiaolian felt a bit anxious being stared at by Su Jingchen.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Yu Xiaolian explained, "I was just worried they'd cling to you relentlessly, so I wanted to... help you."
Su Jingchen chuckled, "Why are you so nervous?"
"I'm not! When did I say I was nervous?" Yu Xiaolian stubbornly retorted.
Then she turned her face away, refusing to look at Su Jingchen.
"Alright everyone, pack up your belongings, we're setting off. The elderly and children can ride in the carriage, and the rest of us will walk.
If anyone gets tired or feels unwell, speak up. Those in the carriage can swap places with those walking.
Sitting too long in the carriage is tiring, and walking too long is also tiring. We'll switch every hour."
