Helian Jing opened his mouth to call for him but then thought better of it. If brother Chunyu saw him in such an awkward look, he would surely rebuke him.

Helian Jing sulkily looked away from his chance at escape. It was probably for the best, anyway. He ran away by himself, and if brother Chunyu took him home, he would look even more terrible.

"Why don’t we take a boat? Or do we have to walk to Jin Ling?" Helian Jing said in a muffled voice.
Ye Jiayao asked, "Is there a grand canal?"
