Mingshu's almond-shaped eyes shone brightly as she nodded.
Having been caught by Si Chu sneaking out of the palace, she didn't expect to keep playing. She hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him, "May I release the lantern before going back?"
Si Chu met her expectant eyes, subtly pinched his fingertips, and without changing his expression, averted his gaze: "As you wish."
Mingshu suddenly smiled, turning to discuss with Yun Zhi how to release it.
As she was asking Yun Zhi for her opinion, she waited for a long while without a response. When she looked up, she saw Yun Zhi with her mouth gaping open in utter shock, staring blankly in a certain direction.
Mingshu raised an eyebrow and followed her gaze, only to see Zhui Ying had stealthily appeared at the prow of the boat at some unknown time.
No wonder Yun Zhi was startled; anyone would be frightened by the sudden appearance of such a large live person.
