You're two lovers, and your families don't agree to it, so you're running away to elope?

The comic convention in Shanghai was held in mid July. Pang Qian always remembered what Gu Mingxi said, and she didn't tell Pang Shuisheng that Sun Mingfang and Jian Zhe couldn't go. She excitedly prepared a point and shoot camera (lit. an idiot's camera) and bought two rolls of film. She also prepared a thick, hardcover book to get autographs from the authors.

Seeing how enthusiastic Pang Qian was, Pang Shuisheng suddenly realized that she was already 14 years old. This could be considered her first time traveling. It would let her and her friends widen their horizons.

Pang Shuisheng and Jin Ai'hus were just ordinary factory workers. Their salaries weren't high, and they weren't that aware of what it took to raise a child. So ever since she was younger, Pang Qian didn't have many opportunities to go out into the world.

Pang Qian has probably gone traveling twice. Once was when she was 8 years old, during summer break. Pang Shuisheng went to Nanjing and Wuxi for a business trip, and he also brought Pang Qian along to play. They took a coach bus there and back.

At the time, there weren't highways in place, so it was 10 hours each way by bus. Pang Qian got motion sickness and vomited a big mess.

When they arrived, Pang Shuisheng brought Pang Qian out to play. It just so happened that Lake Taihu had flooded that day. The water flowed out onto the shore, and it was nearly to Pang Qian's knees. It was quite an eye opening experience for her. She ate some Nanjing salted duck and Wuxi spare ribs. When they were going home, Pang Qian even asked her dad to buy two servings of the ribs to bring back as a gift to Gu Mingxi.

After that vacation, Pang Qian talked to Gu Mingxi about it for several months. Every time they did anything, she'd said, "When I went to Nanjing, blah blah blah," or "When I was in Wuxi, blah blah blah..." Gu Mingxi never cut her off, listening to her over and over again. It wasn't until about half a year later when Pang Qian decided herself that it wasn't so interesting, so she stopped.

The next time she went traveling, she was 10 years old. She went with Jin Ai'hua and her grandparents to her grandma's hometown. After Grandma moved to E City and got married, she'd never gone back to her hometown. She'd gotten homesick, and after hearing that her younger brother had passed away, she really wanted to visit. Jin Ai'hua immediately requested time off from work, and brought Pang Qian, who was on summer break at the time, along as she accompanied her elderly parents home.

It was a small and old village located in the south. They had to take a sleeper bus for one day and night to get there. Pang Qian vomited again and got very dizzy. They spent more than a week in the countryside. Pang Qian spoke a different dialect to the children there, so they couldn't talk or play together. Every day, she just sat there doing nothing. She could only play with the small dog at her relatives' place.

After that trip, Pang Qian didn't have anything to tell Gu Mingxi. Gu Mingxi asked her if it was fun, and she shook her head, "It was so boring."

In comparison, Gu Mingxi had slightly more travel experience than Pang Qian. Before his injury, Li Han had taken him to visit her parents in the northern province every two years. They had to take a long distance sleeper train. After his injury, Li Han still took advantage of her vacation time to take Gu Mingxi traveling.

Gu Mingxi had been to Jinan, climbed Mount Tai, and had also gone to Shanghai, Nanjing, Jinggangshan, Putou... He'd ridden a plane, taken a ship, been on a train and coach bus. Regarding that, Pang Qian was always angry. She'd ask her parents, "How come Gu Mingxi can go traveling with Auntie Li, but when you guys go traveling, you never take me!"
