Huo Jingrui quickened his steps, waiting outside the gate of Yunyi's small courtyard, solely to watch the little girl approach.
As Yunyi opened the gate, he followed her in. "Where should I put the carrying basket?" he asked.
Yunyi pointed to the stone platform in the courtyard. "Just put it there."
Huo Jingrui set down the carrying basket and went straight to Yunyi. "You've been into the deep mountains?" It was not a question, but a statement.
Yunyi didn't hide anything and asked directly, "May I see your ID?" Some matters were better handled with caution.
Since there were military personnel here, she wouldn't need to go to the county to report to public security. Besides, though she couldn't explain why, she felt the man in front of her was very trustworthy.
Huo Jingrui hadn't expected Yunyi to make such a request. After a moment of stunned silence, he took his military ID from his jacket pocket.
Yunyi reached for it. The moment she opened it and saw the name, she froze.
