章 1376: Maybe He's a Person Who Bends with the Wind

The two kids came to the balcony, which had a chair set against the wall. Wu Yueling carried Teng and sat down as she asked the boy, "Where is Mama now?"

Teng pointed a finger ahead and said, "She's miles away from the gate of the base."

"Miles… How far away is that?" Wu Yueling asked curiously. She was barely seven years old. She didn't yet have a clear understanding of a 'mile'.

Teng thought for a moment and then explained, "Em… it'll take a couple of minutes driving and about an hour walking."

Wu Yueling nodded without fully understanding his words. "So, will Mama be back in a couple of minutes?" she asked another question.

Teng shook his head and said, "Mm, I guess she'll first go to her office instead. Maybe she won't come back here until it's dark."

While speaking, he pointed at the sky, which had started getting dark already. The sun had just sunk and the sky was still bright.
