A large bunch of lotus flowers were placed in a vase, adding an ethereal touch to the ancient-style room.
The blooming flowers transitioned from pale pink to white, with some water droplets on them.
The flower bud that hadn't bloomed yesterday had opened up a small arc today.
Yan Qingzhui held up his left sleeve with his right hand, flicking the water droplets off the petals with his fingertips.
Yesterday evening, the little girl stood in front of the door, handing him a bunch of lotus flowers.
And... a pile of wild duck eggs.
She said she saw the lotus flowers while collecting duck eggs today and thought of him.
And duck eggs were delicious.
Especially salted duck eggs.
Speaking of which, they were all out of the salty egg yolk snacks, otherwise, she could have brought him some.
It was best when egg yolk puffs were wrapped in a layer of marshmallow, soft and glutinous.
