Getting used to being alone, I’ve forgotten what friends are, and only recently started to understand.

Isn’t the feeling now what friendship is?

...

Soon, Huo Bei came back with breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone looked at Huo Jinnan.

Huo Jinnan spoke while sitting there, "The scenery around here is quite nice. I know it well, let me take you around."

Yu Zimu said, "Brother Huo, are we going to run into drug lords?"

Huo Jinnan looked at Yu Zimu, "In recent years, the drug lords here have mostly been dealt with. They don’t pose much of a threat. There are some across the border, but not as rampant as before. As long as we don’t cause trouble, there won’t be any issues."

Yu Zimu glanced around, "But we all look quite impressive. A group of us going out draws too much attention."

Huo Bei looked at Yu Zimu, "I came here a while ago. I’m quite familiar with it, and there’s indeed no risk."

Yu Zimu turned to Huo Bei and asked curiously, "Why did you come here?"

Huo Bei, "..."

He sat there, not daring to look towards Huo Jinnan or Qin Huan.

Huo Jinnan said quietly while sitting there, "I asked him to investigate some matters."

Yu Zimu immediately understood and quickly shut up.

Was he investigating past events?

According to the movies, Brother Huo didn’t know that his wife was the girl from back then, so Huo Bei came to investigate!

But then this involves another woman, Qin Shaoling, although Brother Huo doesn’t seem to care much, there have been rumors for years.

Even though she’s dead, who knows if his wife still minds, especially since they’re cousins!

Qin Huan sat there naturally, she had known about these things for a long time and wouldn’t dwell on them.

...

After breakfast, the group packed their bags and continued driving forward.

The road conditions weren’t that good, and the two little ones were settled into safety seats. Huo Jinnan was driving in front and spoke on the walkie-talkie to those behind, "Take good care of the pregnant woman."

Qin Shaonan heard but did not respond.

Yu Zimu and Qin Shaojin refrained from speaking, Huo Bei didn’t speak either, and Shen Mubai maintained his usual silence.

Qin Shaonan turned his head and glanced at Qiao Qiao in the back, "Fasten your seatbelt."

Qiao Qiao nodded, glanced at Nini, who was sitting securely in her safety seat and kept looking out the window.

She hadn’t accompanied Nini like this for years and felt a pang of guilt in her heart.

Nini turned back, looked at Qiao Qiao, and said, "Qiao darling, your eyes look like a panda’s. Didn’t you sleep well last night?"

Qiao Qiao, "..."

She coughed lightly, "There were mosquitoes last night..."

As soon as she spoke, she realized it was winter now and couldn’t save face, turning red in an instant.

Seeing Nini wide-eyed, Qiao Qiao said softly, "Dreamed there were mosquitoes."

Nini nodded and didn’t ask further, curiously watching outside the window.

Soon, Huo Jinnan led everyone to the border.

Getting out of the car, they saw a sentry with a red roof from afar. A soldier was looking this way, and another was inside the post.

Huo Jinnan took a picture with his camera and pointed to the river nearby, "Over there is a poppy field, in bloom."

Qin Huan looked over, and although it was visible, it wasn’t very clear.

But thinking about going to the other side of the river, that would cross the border!

She bit her lip and quickly dismissed the idea.

Seeing Huo Jinnan handing her binoculars, she took them, held them up, and looked over there. The view was adjusted perfectly.

Large patches of red poppy flowers looked like burning flames, very beautiful!
