The next day I woke up. The sky was slightly bright, and I smelled the faint scent of green flowers, with a hint of dew in the air. Could this be the legendary fragrance of flower dew that Joy had been talking about? In the distance, there were some things that couldn't be seen clearly, as if there were some low mountains hidden in the mist. Joy was still fast asleep, and I leaned in close to examine her carefully - she really did have a beautiful face. It seemed even more beautiful than when I saw her at the temple, but why? I thought to myself, could it be because this was the first time I'd seen her sleeping face? And did she seem especially charming when she wasn't looking at me? I thought about it for half the day, and finally became despondent as I realized that it wasn't true - it was just because there was a comparison to be made with the horse face next to her.

  What's even more depressing is that Xiao Bian fell asleep again.

  I think that we two people will be stuck here for a month because our sleep schedules are completely different and there's never a time when all three of us are awake at the same time.

  I think that joy and I can get along with each other, whether I rely on her or she relies on me. But it seems we both have to rely on this horse with a strange rest time, as if it has a time difference with us sometimes.

  I quietly watched Xile, meanwhile, the horse woke up and ran to one side to eat some grass. In a daze, I fell asleep again. I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by Xile's call. By this time, the sky had almost brightened. As soon as I woke up, I asked: "Where is the horse?"

  Xi Le said: A person is running by the tree.

  I immediately became spirited and said: Hurry up while both of us are awake, let's set off immediately. Otherwise, we will be late to Chang'an.

  Xile said: Oh, but we're going to Chang'an for nothing, what's the hurry?

  I said: I don't know, I just feel like we should get there as soon as possible.
