"Mm!"
Responded softly.
Turning back, she smiled at Han Tianci, "You've grown so tall!"
"Sister gave me too much good food in the earlier years, so I shot up like a weed. But this year I haven't grown much, and everyone says I might not grow any taller!" Han Tianci said, sticking out his tongue.
Such a childlike temperament.
"..."
Smiling, she silently chose a name for herself in her heart.
Jinnian.
Glorious years.
She liked this name.
Han Tianci also smiled, staying by Jinnian's side, watching the snow falling.
The Elder Council, the five grand elders, had already arrived, but no one was urging to take her pulse or mention checking her health.
Whether it was good or bad, Jinnian knew in her heart.
Over the past few days, she realized her sense of taste had been tampered with; many flavors were imperceptible. The medicinal taste in her mouth upon waking that day...
It was those people who drugged her.
This was also why she was chosen as Jinnian.
