Wang Yi raised his head. "Sir, you foresaw this long ago?"
Li Ping'an looked thoughtful. "Do you think you're someone who will drift through his whole life accomplishing nothing?"
Wang Yi shook his head without hesitation. "Absolutely not."

Thus, eating dumplings at a farewell expressed the hope of being reunited.

Wang Yi went down the mountain alone.
Cui Cheng and Cui Cai planned to take their young master sightseeing.
