"How long are you going to follow me for? I told you to go home. Didn't you hear me?"
Yu Jingting had walked a long way, holding in his frustration, until eventually, he stopped at a fork in the road, outside the village.
Behind him, less than thirty meters away, Suizi also came to a halt.
She'd followed him all the way from their house, ignoring him every time he'd told her to go home.
She walked when he did and stopped when he did, all the while maintaining a safe distance.
Yu Jingting had assumed she'd be tired after a while since she was pregnant and her stamina wasn't at its best.
But here she was, having followed him all the way, causing him a great deal of anxiety.
There hadn't been any snow over the past two days, so the roads weren't that bad. But there was always the chance of slipping on ice.
Yu Jingting was worried she might lose her footing and fall.
