Chapter 290 Stop Climbing

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the mountain road of Songshan, casting a faint golden glow on this ancient forest. However, for Lei Xiaoyue, Lin Yuxuan, Wang Jing, and Su Xiaoxiao, this scene that should have been full of poetry was now shrouded in a haze.

Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with deep worry. They had just experienced a sudden tragedy, witnessing the heart-wrenching cliff-jumping scene, which had profoundly impacted Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan. At that moment, they had only one thought: to get their children away from this unsettling place as quickly as possible, back to their familiar home, to offer them the warmth and support they deserve.

"We have to go down the mountain. The children need to rest," Wang Jing said softly, with an undeniable firmness in her voice. She knew that staying in this place filled with fear and anxiety would only make the children more emotionally devastated.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded, a hint of heartache flashed in her eyes: "Well, we have to go back quickly. Their condition is too bad, they need to be comforted."

So, the two of them quickly packed up their things, helped Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan up, and comforted them softly: "Don't be afraid, kids, we'll go home. Everything will be fine."

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan were still drenched in fear, their eyes hollow and lost, as if they hadn't fully recovered from the terrifying scene. But they reluctantly nodded, letting Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao lead their hands as they headed down the mountain.

The mountain path was rugged, and the shadows of the trees seemed particularly eerie in the afterglow of the setting sun. The occasional bird song turned into a heart-wrenching scream in the children's ears. They clung tightly to Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao, as if only in this way could they find a sense of security.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoyue. Those sounds are just birds singing. They won't hurt us." Wang Jing gently comforted Lei Xiaoyue, trying to use words to dispel the fear in her heart.

Lei Xiaoyue nodded with a slight tremor, but her eyes were still filled with vigilance and uneasiness. She held Wang Jing's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that if she let go, she would fall into that terrible dream again.

Lin Yuxuan felt the same way. He leaned tightly against Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder, his face pale as paper. His heart was filled with fear and helplessness, but he also knew that he needed to be strong at this moment. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Xiaoxiao, tell me... why did that person who jumped off the cliff do that?" Lin Yuxuan's voice was low and hoarse, as if every word was carrying heavy emotions.

Su Xiaoxiao patted him on the back gently and said softly, "Everyone has their own story and choices. Perhaps he encountered unbearable difficulties and chose this method. But we must believe that no matter what difficulties we encounter, as long as we face them bravely, we will definitely find a solution."

Lin Yuxuan nodded, but his eyes were still filled with doubt and confusion. He understood that some things were not so easy to understand. But he also believed that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

On the way down the mountain, Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao held the children's hands tightly and walked cautiously. They kept a close eye on their emotions, fearing they would fall back into fear. Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan also gradually regained some of their courage and strength. They began to communicate with Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao, sharing their feelings and thoughts.

"Actually... I was really scared just now." Lei Xiaoyue's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes became firm. "But I know that with you guys here, I won't be alone."

Lin Yuxuan also nodded, his voice carrying a hint of determination: "Yes, we must face everything together. No matter what difficulties and challenges we encounter in the future, we must stand up bravely."

Wang Jing and Su Xiaoxiao smiled at each other, their hearts filled with relief and pride. They knew their two children had grown into brave and strong young men. Though still young, they already possessed the courage and determination to face difficulties and challenges.

As the sun gradually set, the people on the mountain road gradually returned to their homes. But Lei Xiaoyue, Lin Yuxuan, Wang Jing, and Su Xiaoxiao remained on their journey. Their steps were unsteady, but their eyes were filled with determination and hope. They knew that as long as they worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and challenges.

Finally, before nightfall, they arrived back at the small town at the foot of the mountain. The lights of the town twinkled in the night sky, as if cheering their return. They took a deep breath, feeling the familiar and warm atmosphere of their hometown.

"We're back," Wang Jing said softly, her voice filled with emotion and gratitude. She knew that their safe return at this moment was the result of their joint efforts and perseverance.

Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan smiled at each other, their eyes filled with anticipation and longing for the future. They knew that no matter what difficulties and challenges they would encounter, as long as they worked together, they would be able to create a bright future of their own.

"Well, we're back. Everything will be fine." Lin Yuxuan said softly, his voice full of determination and courage.
