The riverbank was still crowded with many people, their hands holding bamboo poles from which they suspended lanterns, sending them aloft above the surface of the river.
Were they…..releasing floating lanterns?
Lu Tong gazed at the distance, her eyes betraying a moment of bewilderment.
She was very fond of lanterns, of all kinds.
In her childhood, her temperament was not as serene as Lu Rou's. She loved excitement and novelty; her father often said that of the three children in the Lu Family, it was she who had the rebellious streak, the smallest in stature yet the most impetuous in nature.
She liked places where people gathered; she enjoyed various festivals. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, she would always pester her parents to take her up the mountain to release floating lanterns.
