Taking a shortcut

Li Caiyi felt stuffy, but it wasn't because she was exhausted anymore this time. Her heart beat erratically in fear of something happening to Li Chunhua. 

If only she could fly to where her sister was right now.

"Please wait!"

She stopped in her track when someone grabbed her wrist. Li Caiyi jerked her head and saw the boy from earlier standing behind her.

"You run without listening to everything I have to say. I know a shortcut to get to the bottom faster. The teacher told me the way so I could reach you faster. Follow me!"

Li Caiyi nodded her head before following the boy's lead. Previously, the road was only a straight line towards the top, but the boy took her inside the forest where a small path was covered by high grass.
