Thinking of this, Jiang Xue couldn’t help but ask the Little Fox in the space, saying, "Little Fox, could you help me see whether, among the group that just passed, there’s Qian Cheng’s aura."
The Little Fox, hearing this, didn’t say another word and immediately began sensing Mu Qiancheng’s aura. Very quickly, it felt it, so it said, "Woman, you guessed right, your man is right in that group."
After speaking, the Little Fox added, "Woman, you’re not planning to go find him right now, are you?"
"If I don’t go now, when am I supposed to go?" Jiang Xue shot back, then turned around and walked back the way she had come. Since Mu Qiancheng was here, she naturally had to follow after him.
After all, she had come here precisely for Mu Qiancheng. Besides, the collapsed area up ahead was so dangerous, she couldn’t feel at ease at all.
Thinking this, Jiang Xue subconsciously quickened her pace, chasing after those rescue workers.
As for Mu Qiancheng, he had noticed the person standing on the road from the very beginning. The other party was holding an umbrella, but he still felt a sense of familiarity.
What’s more, he felt that person’s figure looked a bit like his little wife. But he knew his little wife was in Xu City, so he didn’t dare think any further along those lines.
At this moment, he had no idea that Jiang Xue had acted first and reported later, not even saying a word to him before coming straight here.
If he had known, he would definitely have stopped long ago. Now, although he hadn’t stopped, the farther he walked, the more familiar that person standing there felt to him. And as the distance between them widened, something in his heart suddenly started to feel off.
Thus, Mu Qiancheng unconsciously slowed his pace, wanting to go back and take a look, to see whether that person was the one who occupied his every thought.
Gong Bei was walking beside Mu Qiancheng, and seeing how distracted Mu Qiancheng looked, couldn’t help asking, "Qian Cheng, what’s wrong with you?"
"Nothing!" Mu Qiancheng shook his head; he didn’t want Gong Bei to worry, and he also wanted to shut out his own unreliable suspicion.
There’s no way it’s her!
Mu Qiancheng comforted himself like this, then put away his wandering thoughts and seriously followed everyone forward.
Because they were students, they weren’t like other organizations that went everywhere for disaster relief, but were instead doing some logistics work.
Just an hour ago, they had received word that the main highway over here had collapsed, and vehicles and relief supplies couldn’t get through, so the higher‑ups sent this group of student soldiers to come and clear the road.
Mu Qiancheng had just told himself not to let his thoughts run wild when someone spoke up.
"That little girl from just now seems to have followed us."
"No way. At a time like this, instead of going home, what’s that little girl doing following us?"
"Who knows? Maybe she just doesn’t want to go home."
"Alright, cut the nonsense. Whatever’s going on with other people is none of our business. Our task now is to clear the road up ahead as fast as possible so that supplies and vehicles can get through."
Once the team leader spoke, the people below stopped gossiping. But Mu Qiancheng’s heart was thrown into turmoil once again.
He wondered why the other party would follow them. Could it really be Jiang Xue?
At that thought, Mu Qiancheng wished he could just break away from the group and go to the back to take a look. So he deliberately slowed his pace, dropping farther and farther behind.
Gong Bei watched, full of suspicion, and also fell back. In the end, the two of them, who had originally been in the middle of the team, were, in the blink of an eye, at the very back.
And by this time, Jiang Xue was getting closer and closer to them. Seeing this, Mu Qiancheng simply stopped walking and stood where he was, waiting for that moving figure behind them to come closer.
