Zuo Qingzhi squatted there, looked up at him, and asked, "Brother Yuancheng, do you want to go somewhere else to travel?"
After saying that, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, "That's true, we can't just stay here looking at the sea forever, we have to go and see the scenery."
She stood up and used her fingertips to pick out the fine sand from the seashell: "I haven't decided on a specific place yet, but I plan to head south. It will get colder and colder in autumn, and it will be warmer in the south. What about you, Brother Yuancheng?"
Zuo Qingzhi felt that even if it was to avoid suspicion, Chen Yuancheng would choose a different path from her.
Chen Yuancheng pondered for a moment: "Me too."
"Huh?" Zuo Qingzhi was surprised: "Brother Yuancheng is going to the South too?"
Chen Yuancheng looked at the sea: "I can't stand the cold. When it gets cold, I can only stay indoors. If I want to go out, I can only go to the south, where it gets cold later than in the north."
Zuo Qingzhi was conflicted; should she suggest going along with them?
She wanted to find a travel companion, but unfortunately Chen Yuanyao had just gotten married, so she couldn't persuade her to leave home at this time. And it would be quite boring for her to travel alone without anyone to share anything with.
If I suggest going together, will Brother Yuancheng feel like I'm bothering him? Will he find me too annoying?
Zuo Qingzhi didn't know how to respond, so she lowered her head and fiddled with the seashell in her hand.
Seeing that the girl beside him remained silent, Chen Yuancheng took the initiative to ask, "Would you like to come with me? It'll be good to have someone to look after you on the way. Otherwise, it's not good for a girl to go out alone..."
"Yes!" Zuo Qingzhi immediately raised her head and replied, "That would be great! I see something interesting but have no one to share it with. The maids and guards I brought are all like wooden blocks."
With that settled, Chen Yuancheng glanced at the setting sun and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."
"good."
The two walked back and forth side by side. Chen Yuancheng said, "Before you leave, write a letter to your parents to let them know you're safe, so they won't worry."
"I know."
What are you going to do with these seashells?
"I want to make wind chimes out of seashells and give them to my older sister and Yao Yao. Especially Yao Yao, I need to coax her a bit. She'll be very angry if she finds out I ran off to play without her."
Chen Yuancheng smiled as he recalled his sister's complaints: "That's right, she came to me all afternoon to complain the day you went out to travel."
"It's alright," Zuo Qingzhi said with a smile. "Yaoyao won't really be angry with me. I'll just have someone send her some strange and wonderful little trinkets to appease her."
As the sun set, the two figures gradually walked away until they disappeared into the distance on the beach.
They still have a long time to travel together, experiencing the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and the changing seasons, creating wonderful memories together.
(I think it would be hard for Chen Yuancheng to fall in love with someone else, but I don't want him to really end up alone. Some readers commented that they think Zuo Qingzhi's personality is quite good. After much consideration, I wrote it this way. It's an open ending. If you can accept it, then think of them as the two of them together. If you can't accept it, then think of them as just travel buddies.)
