Chapter 157 - Hiding Deep Among the Lotus Flowers (1/2)

Near the lotus pond was Lunar Heart Lake whose vast surface was half-covered by lotus flowers over the clear water. Some boatmen nearby were clever enough to develop the lake’s tourism, renting out boats to visitors or rowing boats to show them around.

After Qianqian had left, Ye Xiaoxian went to find Xiao Baoshan. Xiao Baoshan was waiting for her in a shady spot by the lakeside. He had rented a boat, waiting to tour the lake with her.

“Everything’s done?” he asked with a smile when she came up to him.

“Yes! They will make a sweet couple!” Ye Xiaoxian announced the good news in excitement. Then, she told him everything that happened from beginning to end.

Her vivid narration amused him. “You’re so capable and admirable!”

“I couldn’t have done it without your help.”

“It was you who came up with the idea.”

“Well, this is one of my rare merits,” she said as she noticed the boat behind him. It was neither too big nor too small, just the same as the one in The Legend of White Snake, a romantic TV play. A canopy arched over the boat, providing shelter from rain or sunlight.

“Baoshan, are you planning to row the boat?” Ye Xiaoxian asked.

Xiao Baoshan stretched out a hand and said, “Come with me. It will be an impressive day.”

Ye Xiaoxian had a slightly dirty mind as she mistook “impressive” as “caressive”.

She considered that she had become so weary from helping Liu Qianqian these last few days, so it was reasonable for her to have auditory hallucinations.

Xiao Baoshan helped her aboard and followed behind. To her surprise, he was such a skilled rower that it took him only a short while to reach the middle of the lake.
