Shen Bing fell silent for a few seconds, then said, "Since Yuan Wei wants to get out and travel a little, let her."
Yun Xue immediately grew anxious. "How can we do that? A girl out there all alone—think how dangerous that is!"
Shen Bing looked at Yun Xue and smiled. "Didn't you spend four years alone in the United States? You didn't seem to run into any danger."
Yun Xue protested, "How is that the same? I went there to study and spent all my time on campus. Yuan Wei is going out to clear her head. She probably won't go anywhere crowded. Besides, she's probably not in a good state of mind right now. What if something happens to her?"
