Because Qingran was resting on the stone stairs for quite a long time, and Xie Ying'an was carrying a heavy load, their pace wasn't fast.
This allowed the people who were far behind them to catch up.
Perhaps because they had climbed such a high flight of steps, they still had the energy to laugh and joke around, which made Qingran somewhat envious, so she looked back.
To her surprise, those climbing the stairs behind them were a group of teenagers about their age.
Perhaps because the college entrance exam results were about to come out, there were quite a few teenagers visiting Fan Chen Temple during this time, climbing thousands of steps to offer their prayers in hope of calming their anxious hearts.
When the teenagers climbing the stairs saw Qingran, they were also taken aback; they had been secretly discussing the couple in front 'spreading dog food' (showing off their affection).
