“Why do you get so worked up? It’s for your own good that the Little Prince doesn’t allow you to drink. You were fine, so why lose your temper?”

After boarding the wooden boat, Dong Yuanyao couldn’t help but chide Daohua.

Feeling disgruntled, Daohua muttered resentfully, “I didn’t intend to get angry. It’s just… I couldn’t control my tone and came off a bit harsh.” After speaking, she turned away to look at the surrounding lotus flowers.

Seeing her like this, Dong Yuanyao wanted to say more but was stopped by a shake of the head from Su Shiyu.

Su Shiyu said with a smile, “I never expected the lotus flowers here to still be in full bloom. Later, we should pick a few to take back and put in a vase. And if we come across any lotus seeds, we should gather some too. I particularly love lotus seed soup.”

Dong Yuanyao nodded and also turned to look at the other side.

With the two no longer wanting to talk, Su Shiyu stood beside Wang Manman and Hong Yu, who were paddling, and took the opportunity to closely admire the rare scenery of Lotus Lake.

Gliding quietly over the lake, the wooden boat carried them amidst the fresh scent of lotus flowers and the gentle lake breeze, which slowly soothed Daohua’s irritable mood. She started to play with the water, amusingly snatching a couple of lotus flowers that she saw amongst the leaves.

“Here!”

Daohua first handed one to Su Shiyu and then placed the other directly into Dong Yuanyao’s hand.

Looking at the lotus flower in her hand, Dong Yuanyao glanced at Daohua and saw a faint smile on her face, which prompted her to smirk and say, “What, you’re not mad at me anymore?”

Daohua shot Dong Yuanyao a feigned angry look, “When have I ever been mad at you? Don’t wrongly accuse people.”

Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao laughed and didn’t continue. She too reached out among the lotus leaves and picked a flower for Daohua.

Daohua accepted it and brought the lotus close to her nose, taking a small whiff, “It’s really fragrant. Let’s pick some more to take back, and put them in my grandmother’s and mother’s rooms as well.”

Dong Yuanyao laughed and nodded, “Sure, let’s consider them our Mid-Autumn gifts for the old lady and your mother.”

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing again, Su Shiyu heaved a sigh of relief. However, noticing them leaning over the edge of the boat to reach for the lotus flowers, she couldn’t help but remind them, “Be careful, both of you. Don’t fall into the water.”

Daohua turned back with a smile, “Don’t worry. I can swim, and as for Yuanyao, if she falls in, I’ll jump in to save her.”

Dong Yuanyao huffed, “Don’t underestimate me; I won’t fall in.”

As Su Shiyu saw that both of them were measured in their actions and the wooden boat was sailing smoothly, she decided not to comment further,

The lotus leaves were lush and abundant in the lake; as the boat maneuvered through them, it was almost submerged. Seeing this, Su Shiyu couldn’t resist the temptation and picked a few lotus flowers herself.

“Oh, there’s a pavilion on the lake. Shall we go over and sit for a while?”

Seeing a pavilion amidst the lotus leaves, Dong Yuanyao immediately asked.

Su Shiyu responded with a smile, “Sure, we’ve been boating for a while and must be tired by now. Let’s go up and rest for a bit.”

Daohua was indifferent; perhaps she had drunk too much earlier. Now, the effects of the alcohol were kicking in, making her head feel somewhat dizzy.

In no time, the wooden boat arrived at the Huxin Pavilion.

“Oh, De Fu, what are you doing here?”

Looking at De Fu in the pavilion, the trio of Daohua were all surprised.

De Fu smiled, “The master thought that the three young ladies might be tired from boating and might come here to rest. He ordered me to bring some food over.”

Dong Yuanyao laughed, “You know, I’m really hungry.” Then turning to look at Daohua and Su Shiyu, she said, “You two, one of you had roast mutton, the other had mooncakes, and I didn’t get anything.”
