Zhu Qingyue was listening intently and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"
Li Younan's tone became serious: "I'll say it again, I really don't recommend you doing this alone. Most guides are men, it's a remote wilderness, and you're a lone girl... It's not safe."
Zhu Qingyue remained silent.
Li Younan asked seriously again, "You really can't find anyone to go with you?"
Zhu Qingyue suddenly took a deep breath twice, then started crying without warning.
Li Younan blinked, "Um..."
Zhu Qingyue was engulfed in her emotions, unable to extricate herself, "Will I... will I never see my aunt again?"
Li Younan thought to himself, hasn't your aunt been missing for so long? Although it's a bit cruel, the fact is you won't see her again! If you do, it would be a bit scary.
But he still comforted her, "Maybe you can reconsider, at least find a steady companion."
Zhu Qingyue said sadly, "I'm... I'm not in that circle... Can I find fellow hikers online?"
