"Thank you for your guidance, Leader Lu. If there are no other orders, I will take my leave."
After going back and forth seven to eight times by the lakeside on the back mountain, Zhao Shiran finally got a chance to catch her breath. She excused herself, saying she had to rush back to Seven Plateaus Peak, and told Lu Bei not to bother sending her off.
"Alright then, take care, Leader Zhao. I'll stay put and do a more fishing, so I won't escort you."
If I tell you not to bother, then you really won't. You are truly...
I hope you don't catch a single fish today!
Zhao Shiran started to say something but then stopped. She began to retrace her steps, and halfway along the path, she remembered the lunch box she had left behind at the fishing spot. She returned to retrieve it and stayed with Lu Bei for a while longer.

She heaved a long sigh as she returned home full of disappointment, suddenly lacking confidence in her appearance.
