Mingzhu opened her mouth and said, "Going all the way to Sichuan and back, it'll take at least a year. Is Cousin really willing?" It would be a miracle if An Zhichen were willing.
Yueyao lowered her voice and said, "He's not willing. I'll just sneak out on my own."
Mingzhu pressed a hand to her forehead. "Do you think you're still a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old girl, sneaking out like that?" How was this someone's grandmother? Anyone who didn't know better would think she was an underage girl.

These past years she had been stuck in the Capital City; all those beautiful landscapes her teacher had described, she hadn't visited a single one. Yueyao had always felt that to be a regret.
