Before long, the entrance to Qingyi Garden appeared.
We're here.
The two vermilion doors were tightly shut.
Huanhuan pushed on them to confirm they were bolted from the inside, then stepped back to look up at the wall, catching sight of a bare tree and the eaves of a house inside. She frowned slightly and shouted, "Ah Zhi, are you up? Let's go out and play."
A slight noise came from behind the vermilion doors, followed by the sound of the latch being lifted.
With a creak, the door opened.
A small head popped out between the door, speaking softly, "Here I am, here I am. We agreed to go out today, so of course, I wouldn't stay in bed. I was just about to head out to find you, and here you are."
It was indeed Ah Zhi.
