"There are lantern riddles, couplet contests, and… and you can float flower lanterns on the Quchi River to make a wish…"
Chen Yi understood what she was getting at and teased with a smile, "Do you want to go?"
Xiaodie nodded eagerly, then immediately shook her head vigorously, the two buns of her hair wobbling back and forth.
"Young Master, you decide. I'll do whatever you say."
"Whatever I say? In that case, we're not going anywhere."
"Ah…"
"Just kidding, haha."
"We'll wait for the Mistress to return and ask her where she wants to go. Or, if she doesn't come back, we'll see if the Eldest Miss wants to go float lanterns."
The disappointment on Xiaodie's face vanished in a flash, replaced by delight. She said she would go find Juan'er and Cui'er later to ask around.
Chen Yi, for his part, didn't say anything more.
