It (the box)... they (the books) arrived today! 

HZGG PART 2 NOVELS~~~~~ 

This is the thing I found on Carousell recently. So lucky that I found the exact version I wanted (the one with the casts on the covers). This is the ones I asked my sister to borrow from the school library for me to read lol. They are in better condition than the school library's though (fortunately!) which is understandable. I was the school librarian before and I noticed it getting borrowed pretty often (very popular item). I wasn't brave enough to borrow at that time because I was embarrassed if people ask if I can even read it. Since I learnt to read Chinese informally (and haphazardly), I've always feel like I don't know enough or something. I guess it's something like inferiority complex kind of thing?

ANYWAY. Back to present. Yeah. Never thought I'll be able to own these today. I'm so happy~  

Does this mean I'll start reading them again soon? 

OH HECK NO. 

I don't have the complete set of Part 1. I do have the option to buy the ebook version on Google Play but honestly, I prefer a physical version. The seller on Carousell do have the Part 1 but it's in Simplified Chinese. You can see that from the title on the cover - It's 还珠格格 instead of 還珠格格. Sometimes there are reading materials with Traditional's in the cover but the content is entirely in Simplified form. But I'm pretty sure about this one being in Simplified Chinese (because I saw the same one at the local library years ago).
