Liu Mianmian looked in the direction of Xia Qianqian's hand, noticing the shimmering surface of the lake where indeed, many boats were drifting.

Liu Mianmian couldn't say no to a child who looked at her so earnestly. With her conversation with Xingxing concluded and Xingxing having other matters to attend to, Liu Mianmian took Liu Zhi and followed Xia Qianqian to the lakeside.
The lake at Uncle Residence covers a considerable area; the boats on the surface looked as small as leaves, indeed a lone boat.
The lake was planted with patches of lotus flowers; now in April, the lotus leaves were just starting to sprout, standing slender and graceful on the water, indeed elegant and charming.
