"We'll know when we get there."
The old woman immediately spoke with conviction.
"Okay."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Then let's leave the Small Forest first."
The old woman tightened her grip on her bag and started walking.
Hope stirred in her heart...
What he'd just said had reminded her.
That's right.
She couldn't remember right now.
But maybe once they got there, she'd remember naturally.
She prayed that was what would happen.
When they walked out of the Small Forest, Xiao Xiao stopped and looked at the old woman.
"Grandma Ji, which way should we go now?"
The old woman pressed her lips together.
She looked from side to side.
Her hopes had been dashed.
Neither left nor right gave her any particular feeling.
So in the end...
She still had to guess?
The old woman smiled bitterly to herself.
But since things had come to this...
She had no choice but to guess.
The old woman tightened her grip on her bag.
She slowly lifted a foot.
Which way?
She asked herself.
The old woman got no answer.
Her fingernails dug slightly into the back of her hand.
Whatever.
She made up her mind.
If they delayed any longer, even someone slow on the uptake would realize something was wrong.
The old woman started walking.
She headed... left.
After two steps—
"Grandma Ji."
The young man's voice came from behind her.
The old woman's heart gave a heavy thump.
No...
She didn't want to turn around.
But she slowly turned anyway.
She looked at the young man questioningly.
"It's this way."
Xiao Xiao smiled.
The old woman fell silent.
Her face suddenly felt a little hot.
She looked away from the young man.
She sighed helplessly to herself.
A fifty-fifty chance...
