Gu Shuo could feel a growing excitement he could no longer suppress. They had come ashore a month ago, and she had returned just a few days after they left Dayu City. To think they had missed each other for a whole month.
"Gu Shuo, do you think it's really her? The little girl?" Elder Chen found it hard to believe.
"If it wasn't her, who else would go to all the trouble of celebrating your birthday for you?" 'In the whole world, it could only be her.'
Elder Chen was greatly reassured by his words. "You're right. It could only be her. How much longer until we reach Dayu City?"
"It would take two days by express horse, but at our current pace, it will be three."
'At least we'll still arrive in Dayu City the day before the banquet.'
"Three days is too long! Perhaps I should get out and ride a horse instead," Elder Chen said, lowering the carriage curtain as he made to exit.
"Elder Chen, at your age, you'd be even slower on horseback than in the carriage," Gu Shuo stopped him.
