Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

Today's sky seemed covered by a piece of deep blue silk, clear without a single cloud, sunlight generously pouring onto the earth, illuminating everything bright and warm. Perhaps heaven knew of these few people's outing plan, specially sending such pleasant weather of gentle breeze and warm sunshine.

Yan Xiner, Yan Shuang'er, Yan Wang, and Qianqian sat in the spacious and comfortable carriage, laughter and voices never ceasing. Yan Xiner smiled, turning to look at Qianqian beside her, softly saying: "The sachet I promised you yesterday is finished, here, take it." After speaking, she carefully took out an exquisite sachet from her bosom and handed it over.

Qianqian happily took the sachet and examined it closely. Only to see a pair of mandarin ducks vividly embroidered on the sachet, as if they would spread their wings and fly at any moment. Red silk threads outlined the mandarin ducks' graceful figures, golden silk threads just right embellishing them, making the whole pattern even more dazzling.

Qianqian couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow, Elder Sister, you're truly amazing! This sachet is embroidered so exquisitely, it's almost like the real thing! I wish I could embroider this well too." Hearing this, Yan Xiner's face flushed with a rosy tint, shyly saying: "It's fine, as long as you like it."

Qianqian quickly waved her hands, saying: "Elder Sister, you keep it for me first. Later when we go play, if we're not careful and lose such a beautiful sachet, it would be too much of a pity. Give it back to me when we return home tonight, alright?" Yan Xiner nodded, saying: "Alright, I'll keep it for you first, and give it back to you tonight." After speaking, she put the sachet back into her own bosom.

The carriage sped along, and not long after they arrived at the destination of this trip—a place in Jiaoxiang Place where flowers bloomed like brocade. Here flowers vied in beauty, colorful blossoms like a magnificent painting spread before their eyes. And to ensure they could enjoy such scenery, just yesterday afternoon Ai Chun had specially come here in advance to scout. When the carriage finally slowly stopped, Qianqian inside could no longer restrain her excitement and joy. Only to see her like a happy little deer, impatiently rushing out of the carriage.

In an instant, a picturesque scene was fully displayed before Qianqian's eyes. First coming into view was a vast expanse of lush green grassland, like a soft and thick green carpet, stretching all the way to the distance. On this green grassland were dotted colorful flowers vying in beauty, some red as fire, some pink as rosy clouds, some white as snow, emitting waves of refreshing fragrance.

Beside the grassland, a sparkling stream meandered through. The stream water was clear to the bottom, clearly showing the sand and stones at the bottom and the small fish and shrimp swimming. The stream water presented an extremely deep blue color, like a crystal clear sapphire, flashing charming light under the sunlight. Occasionally several colorful butterflies would lightly dance among the flower clusters, sometimes dancing gracefully, sometimes perching to rest, forming a picture full of vitality and energy.

Looking further into the distance were several towering mountains. The mountains were covered with green trees, dense trees intertwined together, forming patches of dark green forests. Some of these trees were tall and straight, piercing the clouds; others were lush with branches and leaves, like huge umbrellas. Even the sky was a deep blue, without a single cloud disturbing it, pure enough to intoxicate people, as if they were in a dreamlike world.

After Qianqian and the others had all gotten off the carriage one after another, Yan Xiner then surprisingly discovered that besides the Qi family siblings, Ai Jiao and Ai Chun were actually here too. At this moment she suddenly realized, understanding in her heart that this gathering was originally specially created to give her and Ai Chun a chance to get along. Thinking of this, Yan Xiner couldn't help but blush slightly, charming and lovely like a ripe apple. For a moment she was at a loss. Fortunately there were a few little ones livening up the atmosphere; it was awkward for a moment, then submerged in the sounds of everyone greeting each other.

After everyone had greeted each other, they began looking for a suitable resting place. Soon they found an open lawn near the stream. Ai Chun immediately instructed the servant beside her, Xiao Zhu, to take out the blanket purchased yesterday. Only to see Xiao Zhu skillfully spread the large blanket flat on the ground; this blanket was very large, even if eight people sat on it at the same time it would still be more than enough. Immediately after, the servant nimbly took out various delicious snacks purchased yesterday from the carriage. Only to see him carefully holding several small food boxes; after placing the food boxes on the ground, he slowly opened them one by one, those exquisite pastries and fragrant snacks, as if they were priceless treasures. Meanwhile, Qianqian and Qi Xi each took down some snacks from their own carriages and placed them one by one in the center of the colorful blanket.

After all preparations were completed, everyone gathered around the blanket, chatting happily while tasting the dazzling array of food before them. Time passed quietly in this relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and before they knew it, half a day had passed.

At this moment, a gentle breeze lightly brushed by, bringing a hint of coolness. Ai Jiao, who had been closely watching the surroundings, keenly sensed that this excellent opportunity had arrived, so she hurriedly instructed the servant beside her: "Quickly go to the carriage and take down the kites we bought yesterday!" The servant, hearing this, quickly turned and ran toward the carriage, and in a short while returned holding two beautiful kites. One was painted with a lifelike goldfish pattern, the other depicted a colorful butterfly shape.

The servant first handed the Goldfish Kite to Ai Jiao, then handed the Butterfly Kite to Qianqian. Ai Jiao happily held her kite, turned to look at Qianqian beside her, and smilingly challenged: "How about it, dare to compete with me to see whose kite flies higher?" Facing Ai Jiao's challenge, Qianqian did not show weakness, raising her chin confidently and replying: "Hmph, let's compete then, Xi Xi, we will definitely win!" Hearing this, Qi Xi beside them quickly nodded in agreement, expressing that he would definitely do his best to help them achieve victory.
