She held a large bundle of lotus flowers and pods, standing at the bow of the boat, just like a lotus fairy stepping out of a painting.
Gracefully poised.
Once ashore, Ni Yang and Du Jiaojiao sat together eating lotus seeds for a while before Ni Yang proposed saying goodbye.
"Brother Du, Sister Jiaojiao, I have to leave now," Ni Yang said, then turned to Grandpa Du, "You should come out more when you're free, getting more sunlight not only reduces the chance of catching a cold and boosts immunity, but also protects vascular health."
"Okay." Grandpa Du nodded.
"Duoduo, I'm heading back," Ni Yang waved at Duoduo.
Duoduo jumped onto the other shoulder of Grandpa Du, unwilling to leave.
"Duoduo." Ni Yang called again.
Duoduo still didn't want to leave.
Grandpa Du laughed, "You go ahead, it's missing the treats I have here."
These days, Grandpa Du had provided countless treats for Duoduo.
But Duoduo was a typical ungrateful wretch.
