Leaving

“No problem.” Qing Shui nodded, “Take good care of yourself.”

As he spoke, he approached Ling and gave her a hug, and he looked at the others as he passed around the question.

“Where do you want to go?” Chang didn’t answer the question himself and instead asked Jing first. “Although you’re still young, you should know that this decision is critical and important. Take your time to consider whether you’re leaving with Qing Shui or staying in the base.”

“I’ll go wherever you are going,” Jing stepped forward and said determinedly.

“You don't need to…”

“I’m going to follow you wherever you go.” This was the first time that Jing interrupted Chang; she repeated the exact same words stubbornly.

“Alright,” Chang read the emotions in her eyes and gave a long sigh. He pulled her over and then patted on Qing Shui’s shoulder and said, “We are following you.”

“Are you sure?” Qing Shui hesitated and asked again.

“We are sure.”
