Going Out to Play

Upon hearing Xue Qi's voice, Jiang Peihuan lifted her skirt and took two steps forward.

By this time, Xue Qi had already found a sleigh, a unique ice amusement in the Qi Kingdom.

It had a curved plate at the bottom with a chair mounted on it. When someone sat in the chair, another person in front could pull the sleigh.

As Jiang Peihuan neared, Xue Qi patted the sleigh's seat, urging, "Huan Er, come and sit. I'll pull you."

Observing her surroundings, Jiang Peihuan noted that despite it being the season's first snowfall, attracting many to the frozen city river's sights, only a few were on sleighs – mainly children.

Upon hearing Xue Qi's invitation, she replied with slight incredulity, "Cousin Qi, I'm not a child anymore. How can I sit on this sleigh?"

"Why can't you?"

Before she could react, Xue Qi quickly grasped Jiang Peihuan's wrist, settling her onto the seat. "Hold tight!"
