Seeing that Huo Wen'an was genuinely too exhausted to continue, Ye Mingluo sensibly refrained from teasing him further.
Kidding should genuinely amuse people; that's a joke.
Sprinkling salt on one's self-esteem isn't joking, it's just despicable. "How about we take a break here?" Ye Mingluo subtly suggested on behalf of Huo Wen'an, saying, "The path looks increasingly rugged, and we've been walking for hours. Let's rest awhile, recharge, and then set off again for better efficiency."
Huo Wen'an looked up at Ye Mingluo.
He thought: I should treat Ye Mingluo better in the future.
After all, it's Brother Mingluo who gave him candy since childhood.
Nodding, Xu Xingguang said, "Over this mountain is an iron lock bridge. That bridge hasn't been maintained for years, and crossing it at night isn't safe. Let's rest here and cross when daylight comes."
Huo Wen'an felt warm inside listening to this.
His wife and brothers are truly good people.
