The next morning, while Suming and Nangong Yan were still in their dreams, they could hear the cheering from downstairs, the barks of a Labrador, and the occasional neighs of horses.
After getting dressed and looking down from the balcony, they saw Avitu with an 18th-century carriage, usually seen in movies, parked below, pulled by four black horses with thick furs on their legs, and several lanterns hanging on both sides of the carriage.
Chengcheng was circling around the carriage, shouting and jumping excitedly. She often went to the zoo and was bold with animals, even daring to touch the horses pulling the carriage. The horses were very gentle, occasionally shaking their hooves.
Avitu sat in the driver's seat driving the carriage, with the Labrador, Ashis, obediently sitting next to him, occasionally joining Chengcheng in her calls.
Zhao Yun squatted beside the carriage, studying the patterns on it with great interest.
"Up and at 'em, ready to head out."
