They Finally Noticed

Reinitz heard her calls and turned back suddenly. He grabbed her hand in time to prevent her from slipping forward. "Be careful, the mountain paths are extremely rugged." If she had really slipped, they'd have rolled off the mountain. Reintz was very worried about her and decided to grab her hand and hold it without letting go as they walked.

Gu Nianzhi had also been shocked earlier. She wasn't accustomed to long mountain hikes, so it was better to follow Reinitz. They walked in silence for a while, and Reinitz also looked back at Mother Hanna's cabin and interjected, "Mother Hanna adopted me."

Gu Nianzhi was speechless.

Reinitz lost himself in the memories. "I was an orphan and grew up in the orphanage. Mother Hanna adopted me when I was 12." Reinitz paused, his throat catching. "I'm very thankful towards her. Without her, I wouldn't be who I am today."
