"Xiaotang!? Are you saying Xiaotang and Xiaowen are here too?"
"Yes, we didn't originally plan to bring them along. But Quan insisted since the operation was his suggestion, and he worried something might go wrong if he didn't come. So, we had no choice but to fulfill his wish." Hua Biao shook his head helplessly.
Hu Xiaodong smiled understandingly, "Yes! Xiaotang is just like that. He cares about Old Xu and Lei Zi's safety."
"Where are the two of them then? Why didn't they come with you?" Wang Qiang asked expressionlessly, his gestures subtly questioning.
"We hurried over first, they're not as physically fit for long marches. After a little rest, I'll go back to pick them up." Hua Biao said, looking at the camping stove emitting warm steam, he reached out his hand to stay warm.
"Let me go instead. You've had a hard journey, after eating, you should rest. Give me the snowboard, and I'll head out now." With that, Wang Qiang started to get up.
