As evening drew near, Shen Guoguo brought Jiang Linyuan to the riverside.
A bridge stretched across the river, with buildings of varying heights on the opposite bank. He couldn't tell whether they were homes or offices.
"Is this the Yongding River?"
Jiang Linyuan asked casually.
"I'm not sure."
Shen Guoguo ran over to the railing and leaned her whole body over it, squinting as she enjoyed the evening breeze. "Maybe."
"Aren't you a local? And you're the one who brought me here."
Jiang Linyuan walked over.
"Hehe."
Shen Guoguo sheepishly scratched her head.
"Actually, I've been looking up online itineraries for all the places I've taken you these past few days. I don't know what river this is, either."

"Hmph."
Shen Guoguo planted her hands on her hips, looking thoroughly authoritative.
"It's my red envelope. What can Sister Wanyu say about it?"
"I recorded that, you know?"
"...Really?"
