I heard it's hard to get a reservation near the Great Wall," Lian asked seriously, frowning.Zh: 智慢悠悠地放下茶杯，微微一笑。“连，我们去长城是为了探索，不是去享受酒店的。”En: Zhi slowly put down the teacup and smiled slightly.

"But I don't want any mishaps on the trip."Zh: “但是，”智打断她，“有些意外也是旅行的一部分。我们去感受自由，而不是被计划束缚。”En: "But," Zhi interrupted her, "some unexpected events are also a part of traveling.

"But I'm worried things might go wrong."Zh: 智这时坐直了身子，认真地说道：“我们可以妥协。你安排好基本行程，我负责一些惊喜活动，怎样？”En: Zhi then sat up straight and said seriously, "We can compromise. You handle the basic itinerary, and I'll take care of some surprise activities, how about that?"Zh: 连思索着，手指轻轻敲打着桌面。En: Lian pondered, gently tapping her fingers on the table.Zh: 这个提议让她有些不安，但又感受到了一丝兴奋。En: This proposal made her a bit uneasy, but she also felt a hint of excitement.Zh: 她点了点头。“好吧，我们试试这样。”En: She nodded.
