Senior Brothers and Sisters (I)

"When I first came, like you, I was too surprised by the beauty to say a word."

Chen Pipi came to stand by Ning Que at some point.

Ning Que turned around, glancing at him, and asked, "Is it more beautiful than the place where you once lived?"

Chen Pipi looked at him, wondering if he had figured out where he came from. After a moment of silence, he said, "The solemn, respectful or sacred are not actually the beauty."

He smiled and continued, "Welcome to the real Academy."

Ning Que answered with a smile, "It seems that you are my tour guide today."

While Chen Pipi had not heard the words, tour guide, before, he roughly guessed the meaning. He smiled and led Ning Que to the cliff floor. Stepping on the damp ridges, they made all the way through the fields and meadows before they embarked on a wooden bridge, coming to the lake as calm as a mirror.
