The next day, they got up early and finished their daily tasks in the space. Qin Kaize made some time to expand the house. When Su Yijia finally woke up, they didn't rush back to the island right away but took the time to stop by Uncle Lian's place to collect some fresh seafood. After enjoying a hearty seafood lunch, they headed to the dock.
As soon as they arrived, Qin Kaize noticed that the people around seemed a bit strange. Many were sneaking glances at them, but no one approached to say anything. Especially after boarding the ferry, the air was thick with a sense of suppressed anger. Su Yijia's long eyelashes trembled nervously.
Noticing her unease, Qin Kaize gently squeezed her fingertip, reassuring her: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Uncle Xia knows we went to Hu City. If anything were wrong, he would definitely call us."
