Zhao Zhitong felt helpless. The adults in her family constantly worried about her. Even though she had demonstrated her 'brute strength,' her maternal grandfather, grandmother, and uncles still fretted, insisting someone accompany her whenever she traveled far.
"Uncle, you don't have to pick me up. I can go home by myself," Zhao Zhitong said.
Sun Youcai, of course, vehemently disagreed. "Absolutely not! How about this? I won't leave. I'll just wait for you at the foot of the mountain, and we can go down together."
Sun Youli glanced up the mountain path. The academy was a sacred place, and he held it in such awe that he dared not set foot inside. He, too, said he would wait at the foot of the mountain for Zhao Zhitong so they could return together.
At this, Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue spoke up, "Uncle Youli, please rest assured and go back. After Tongtong finishes with the patient, Zhao Yue and I will escort her home."
