Su Ruanruan stared blankly at the rainbow that appeared in the sky after the rain.
She didn't believe Mu Bai had changed his mind; she only hoped that their relationship would be like a rainbow after the rain, weathering the storm and seeing the sunshine again.
Liefeng lived up to its reputation as a fine steed, for it ran fast and took shortcuts, and before dusk they arrived at a small town outside Lingzhou City.
This small town is surrounded by mountains on two sides, and its transportation is inconvenient, so it is not very prosperous.
