Early the next morning.
The first ray of sunlight rose from the horizon, dispersing the vast darkness of night. The earth gradually brightened, and the boundless snowfield came to life. Eagles soared high in the sky, a few hungry birds skimmed over the treetops. Perhaps fearing the king of the sky, they swiftly darted into the forest and vanished. On a densely wooded hillside, Luo Zheng quietly watched the rising sun and took a deep breath. Standing beside him, Lan Xue also watched the sunrise, and Luo Zheng softly said, "We need to take a break."
"Okay, as you say." Lan Xue showed the gentle side of a traditional woman and her attachment to her lover when no one else was around. She took off her backpack and tossed it on the ground, surveyed the surroundings, and said, "This place isn't the highest, but not low either. It's quite concealed and shielded by dense woods, so we shouldn't be exposed."
