Zhang Yu was evidently unhappy and secretly asked her brother, Zhang Qi, in private, "Did I drag Sister Pan'er down? If it weren't for me, she wouldn't need to leave the base. It's very dangerous outside."
"I'm not sure. Brother Xuedong didn't tell me either. I just went to ask, but I didn't find anything out. Everyone's here now. You should follow the learning closely. With Sister not here, you have to protect the base's safety. We need to make an effort, this is our home."
"I understand."
Zhang Yu bowed her head, feeling quite distressed.
Li Pan wasn't aware of how sensitive Zhang Yu's thoughts were. If she had been there, she would have teased her for overthinking. 'I'm off to make money,' she would have said.
At dinner with everyone, Xue Dong noticed Zhang Yu's lack of cheer and understood what she was thinking.
