Afternoon, at the time of the Rooster.
Lin'an.
"My Lady, we're almost there." Xuemei woke up the person sleeping on the bed inside the boat cabin.
Upon waking, Lin Jiaojiao quickly dressed and left the cabin. The sun was about to set, casting a not-so-warm winter light on the winding river, making it look like clear jade.
Lin Jiaojiao's eyes were drawn to a large ancient tree by the Lin'an dock, adorned with red ribbons, both new and old, fluttering in the wind.
She had heard of an ancient wishing tree in Lin'an City that people believed to be very effective. She remembered her mother once told her that she had made a wish here for her when she was pregnant with Jiaojiao.
Wishing her a life of smooth sailing.
Jiaojiao also wanted to make a wish for Yan Sihan.
As the boat approached the shore, she went to the ancient tree and felt even smaller when she looked up at its enormous size.
