Rong Yan hasn't seen the young girl's appearance clearly but he already heard her voice. Her voice was clear and melodious, just like an oriole bird, sweet and young, causing anyone that hear it to find everything fresh and new.
She's wearing a pale blue Chinese jacket with a long fluttery skirt, sitting on top of a big rock while leaning on the big tree behind her. Her right hand was holding a cup of tea elegantly, her left hand taking the candied fruit from the plate nearby and her small mouth was eating with relish. The fair and tender small feet that was so creamy like milk was put on the stone inside the crystal-clear lake. Her milky feet kicking the water playfully, her appearance was clearly joyful.
Rong Yan could only caught sight of her figure from afar. The long-term official business that he had to do made his vision declined a bit, so he couldn't see the young girl's appearance clearly! Nevertheless, the figure was very familiar. With the sunshine shining gently on her, the clear blue lake, her melodious crisp laughter, cicada's singing and the gentle breeze blowing pass her raven hair softly, they made such a picturesque scene that Rong Yan can't help but paused and took a breath for a bit… Didn't know what kind of feeling Rong Yan felt…
Shocked? Attracted? Moved? Perhaps all! The cool and refreshing air brought a strand of orchid's sweet fragrance as he little by little moved forward to her, but the young girl still didn't discover his presence. He felt that the figure was getting familiar the more he walked towards the young girl in front of him, as he now could faintly guess who she was.
Lin LuLu was tired from playing, she put down her feet to soak in the cool water, striking Rong Yan with a shiver. The young girl's face that looked like white jade was adorned with a crimson color as she leaned against the tree, panting for breath, her playful eyes moving left and right. In her mind, she wasn't thinking about anything serious though, what food will I eat tonight. I heard that the mountain behind the hamlet had a lot of wild game, it's too great ah! Furthermore, don't know if there are any big crabs in the lake now, because autumn is actually the season to catch crabs. Thinking about all of these, Lin LuLu smacked her lips with saliva slobbering from her mouth.
Thinking this, thinking that, Lin LuLu felt a bit sleepy. Everyone said spring has sleepiness in spring, summer has sleepiness in summer, didn't know if there's any autumn sleepiness?… Lin LuLu'd eyelids were getting heavier, slowly sinking inside the dreamworld. Didn't know what she's dreaming about that her face was filled with a soft smile, Xiaoju could only smiled helplessly at the side, putting the cloak she brought on Lin LuLu's body, thinking that it was best if the madame could keep on living without anxieties and worries…
From around 100 meter away, Rong Yan was drawing nearer to the young girl, feeling a nostalgia with this place. At 50 meter, Rong Yan's steps became more and more slower, his movements almost ceased. If there's anyone nearby and looked at him, they would surely know that Rong Yan used qing gong to lighten his weight, and thereby, reducing the sounds of his movements.
He stayed still for a time with a complicated expression on his face while gazing at the girl's body, but he quickly closed his eyes with fixed calmness in his mind.
When Xiaoju saw Lin LuLu's feet were still soaking inside the cold water, she promptly wanted to help fix Lin LuLu's sleeping posture when she saw the young master who she hadn't seen for a long time nearby. Rong Yan arrived only a few meters apart from them. Looking at Xiaoju's shocked expression that looked like she wanted to scream, he hurriedly closed her mouth and made Xiaoju unable to sound any voice, although her eyes were alarmed and gave an imploring look.
Rong Yan finally caught sight of the figure behind her, but he wasn't the least bit surprised. He finally figured out why his mother didn't dare seeing anybody all these years. As it turned out, she maintained a 16 year old look of a young girl, and it would indeed stir up trouble and rumor so it would be better if less people know about this. Rong Yan's former complaints and resentments were all forgotten at this moment. He halted his breath, his heart pulsating with a rapid speed, the sound 'thump thump' was incomparably distinct on his ears, as if declaring, 'resign yourself, Rong Yan… approach her'.
