"Great, being cooped up in this tiny space all day, I'm about to suffocate from boredom," said the cheerful girl.
Her smile was radiant, but Duo'er could see a hint of reluctance deep in her eyes.
She was still troubled by Zhang Ziwen's affairs, but had hidden it deep inside her heart.
Only when alone would she remove her disguise.
But understanding how to rein in one's pain is part of growing up.
Qiao Duo'er didn't tell her she had already asked Qin Longyun to look for Zhang Ziwen because the greater the hope, the greater the potential disappointment.
The group of three chatted as they walked.
When tired, they sat on the grass, and when hungry, they enjoyed snacks prepared by Granny Su, truly relaxed and comfortable.
The only regret was that Qiao Duo was pregnant and Chao Lian was frail; otherwise, they could have had a horse race to add some excitement to their autumn outing.
