"Then let's go inside and take a look," Xu Lai said.
The host had welcomed them, and it was indeed inappropriate to linger at the doorstep any longer.
They passed through the light screen, and the scene before them suddenly opened up. The space was a valley blooming with spring flowers, complete with a lake, bamboo houses, and various bamboo groves.
In front of one bamboo house, a young woman in a verdant green dress sat with her eyes closed. She was pouring four cups of tea at a bamboo table. Her movements flowed as smoothly as clouds and water, merging with the bamboo forest and the world around her as if she were part of a richly expressive landscape painting.
Xu Lai did not rashly disturb this beautiful scene.
But Xu Yiyi had no such reservations. The little girl happily ran over, circling the woman to get a good look before finally running back to Xu Lai's side and whispering, "Daddy, she's such a pretty big sister, just as beautiful as Mommy!"
