At Jiang Nuan's words, Cen Xue immediately put down her book. After carefully setting it aside, she came out from behind the counter.
The two of them sat down at the stone table in the back courtyard. Cen Xue poured Jiang Nuan a cup of tea before asking:
"Nuan Nuan, what's this good news you mentioned?"
"Let me tell you! My imperial father is planning an inspection tour of Great Xia, and he wants to take me along. I asked him, and he said I could bring one person. You were the first person I thought of! So, do you want to go?"
Jiang Nuan asked, her face full of anticipation.
"Yes! Absolutely! Back when we were in school, we always talked about taking a spur-of-the-moment trip. Sadly, we never had the chance. Now that we do, of course I'm going to seize it!"
Cen Xue answered without hesitation.
"Great! I knew you'd say yes!"
Jiang Nuan smiled. Now her trip around Great Xia wouldn't be a lonely one.
"Oh, right, Nuan Nuan, you said you had two pieces of good news. What's the other one?"
Remembering that Jiang Nuan had mentioned two pieces of good news but had only shared one, Cen Xue asked.
"The other piece of good news is—remember how I told you about Guagua? Well, Guagua has leveled up and can now bind another person to enjoy the gossip. So I came to ask if you wanted to join in!"
At the mention of Guagua, Jiang Nuan lowered her voice considerably, hoping to preserve this secret that everyone knew.
"Of course I do! Quick, quick, quick! How do we bind?"
Cen Xue asked excitedly.
"All done. It's ready now."
Once Cen Xue agreed, Guagua established a link between the two girls and the system.
