Ningmen Prefecture City outskirts, abandoned dock.
Daohua woke up amidst the sound of pages turning and looked around dazedly before her gaze landed on Xiao Yeyang, who was sitting in front of the window examining a map.
Sensing her gaze, Xiao Yeyang looked towards the bed and met Daohua's sleepy eyes, then lightly chuckled and said, "Awake? Did I disturb you?"
Daohua shook her head, glanced outside the window at the sky, and asked, "What time is it now? Haven't we arrived at Ningmen Prefecture yet?" while sitting up in bed.
Xiao Yeyang came over to the bedside and noticed Daohua's tousled hair. As he helped her tidy it up, he said, "It's already the fourth quarter of Wei hour (14:00), and the people at the dock were noisy, so I didn't choose to go there. We're now by an abandoned dockside."
