“ speeds up, but still no progress. He lets out a frustrated sigh, his voice heavy with impatience. “Why cant you move any faster? Thats the third time hes fallen behind today. Do you need me to carry you?”

林清擦了擦嘴角，冷冷地回答：“Im not a child anymore. I can take care of myself.”

Despite his words, the older man still looks concerned. He pats Lin Qings shoulder, a soft expression on his face. “Alright, alright. I was just worried about you. Remember, if you feel tired, just tell me. We can take a break.”

“Nah, Im fine,” Lin Qing says, already walking again. He keeps an eye on the person in front of him, trying to figure out what their deal is. Why are they suddenly trying to help him? And why do they keep looking at him like hes a baby?

After a while, the older man falls behind again. Lin Qing looks back and sees him struggling to keep up. With a flick of his wrist, he creates a gust of wind that pushes the older man forward. The older man looks surprised at first, but then his face lights up with gratitude. “Youre the best, kid! Thank you!”
