The descent was light and swift. Zhou Li's steps were broad and confident, showing traces of Brother Nan's deft movements.
Huai Xu stood on a tree up ahead. Since the weather was clear, he scanned the horizon and saw layers of green mountains stretching to the sky, while the small town in the valley below appeared as a patchwork of color.
"As we head down, we'll pass through that town, right? What's its name again—the something town?"
"Xiaoping Town."
"No, that's not right. What did Brother Nan say before she left?"
"Good, eat before returning."
"What are you even talking about~~"
"Should I contact Brother Nan?"
"And me?"
"Just say we met on the mountain."
"Alright, don't worry, I'm a great actor!" Huai Xu's face suddenly lit up with a smile. He no longer appeared and disappeared unexpectedly; instead, he hopped from tree to tree, bouncing along.
"Did you eat popping candy?"
"Hehe..."
