"Little You, don't go!" Chen Long rushed over, his first words were this.
"Uncle Chen, you also said we can't avoid it," Huo Rou fiddled with her ID card.
Chen Long had a headache. He rarely managed to dissuade Huo Rou once she had made up her mind. Even if she agreed on the surface, she would still do what she intended to do.
Just like that year, she went...
She didn't know what kind of person Huo Rou was. Since she could say she wanted to save many people, she must be a kind-hearted medical worker.
When the situation in Yizhou was grim, some medical workers had also come forward to volunteer, but considering the complex situation in Yizhou, the order from above was to prevent them from going.
She admired such people, but rules were rules.
"Did you hear that? You can't go," Chen Guo Chao repeated the staff member's words with worry.
The person helping Huo Rou with her bag also chimed in, "Little Ace Sister, you should listen to them and not go!"
"Who do you think you are?" a male staff member beside them sneered, "A young lady should stay at home. Do your family know you're making a fool of yourself outside?"
"What did you say?!" Chen Guo Chao rushed forward, grabbed the man's collar, and lifted him up.
Chen Long quickly pulled him back, "Don't get impulsive."
"Young man, watch your mouth."
Seeing that they weren't going to resort to violence, the man lewdly sized up Huo Rou, "A group of men dote on you, and you think you're something special?"
The staff member at the check-in counter stepped forward to mediate a few words, but the man pushed him away. "What can a delicate woman do? She'll only be a nuisance. Someone like her going to Yizhou! Is she perhaps thinking that since Yizhou is off-limits, she can just show her resolve?"
There were many such people lately, and he was tired of seeing them. They would go live, crying rivers, as if they were going to sacrifice themselves in Yizhou. In the end, when they were stopped, they would express their regret to their viewers about not being able to go.
Hypocritical women, weren't they just taking advantage of the fact that they couldn't go to speak recklessly!
"Brother, don't spout nonsense without any evidence!" the person carrying the bag couldn't stand it anymore. How could their Little Ace Sister be maliciously speculated about like this!
Huo Rou glanced at the man indifferently. A bone-chilling cold instantly enveloped him.
He started speaking with a tremor, "Wh-what, isn't it?"
"Can't go, just flailing around," the man, though intimidated by her gaze, still haltingly finished his complaint.
"If my loved ones knew my choice, they would only support me," Huo Rou said coldly. "They are not people you can casually insult."
"Just you like this." The man spoke indignantly, uttering more unbearable words.
"Slap!"
Huo Rou slapped the man's face, her strength so great that he was forced to shut his mouth.
Silence returned to her ears. Under the man's fierce yet helpless gaze, she handed her ID card to the counter staff, "Excuse me, I want to go to Yizhou."
"Miss, there are truly no flights. Unless there's special approval from above, we cannot..."
The staff member frowned and waved his hand.
"Please scan it," Huo Rou pushed her ID card forward.
Her eyes were firm, "I can go."
Affected by Huo Rou's gaze, the staff member took her ID card and glanced at the photo of a delicate face with a cold expression and neat short hair.
She casually scanned it, and a similar photo appeared on the screen. The entire page changed color. Her hand trembled as she moved her gaze down.
She fumbled the ID card in her hand, and it fell onto the counter. In the silent hall, the crisp sound seemed audible.
The staff member frantically picked up Huo Rou's ID card, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with shock.
