Three days. Yuan commits that to memory with a slight nod. When Jingyi asks how they met, he glances at Jin Ling with an encouraging little nudge, as though he was suggesting he be the one to tell the story - mostly, of course, because he's the one in charge here, Yuan wants to be sure the story is one he approves of, and the best way is to let him make it up.
So, of course, when Jin Ling tells a (slightly unbelievable) tale of daring and bravery, he's absolutely going to back him up.
"It was terrifying," he admits, eyes a little wide as though he's still shaken (after all it's only been three days) "I don't know what we would have done if A-Ling and his men hadn't been there."
(Sorrry, Jin Ling, you're getting some back up here, because Yuan can see that scepticism in Jingyi's look)
"A-Ling saved my life," he says breathlessly "one of them was almost upon me when he stopped it."
