Returning Home to Gauge Parent's Opinion

Jiang Yexun quickly embraced her and comfortingly patted her back when Su Xiaoxiao pushed him away in a panic.

"Aren't you afraid?" Su Xiaoxiao was extremely worried, pushing him with all her might.

Jiang Yexun let out a soft laugh and soothingly said, "Don't worry. The footsteps approaching were quite light, it's two female comrades, probably the service staff from the guesthouse."

Having spent so much time hunting in the mountains, he had mastered the art of listening for sounds. If he hadn't been sure that these weren't people from the disciplinary office, he wouldn't have been so carefree here.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was so worried that she ended up stepping on his foot.

Jiang Yexun's pained expresion caused her to quickly jump away and straighten her clothes. The knocking on the door sounded once again.

"Comrades Su and Jiang, are you there?" one of the guesthouse service staff asked in a soft voice.
