Chapter 208 - 207: No Chance
After dinner, Chu Hanyan had intended to stay in Fu Garden and play with Miss Yang Qian, but, thinking of her father and grandmother having to leave the next day, she obediently returned to Tang Garden.
This time, not only Chen Afu and Dabao saw them off, but also Yang Chao and Yang Qian did.
Because they were accompanied by Liao Chen on the same road, Chu Lingxuan and Chu Hanyan just looked back at them, waved their hands, and then turned around to accompany Liao Chen back to Tang Garden.
Chen Afu let Alu take Dabao and Yang Chao to sleep in the east wing, while Yang Qian followed her to the upper room.
At this moment, it wasn’t completely dark yet. The children were playing around in the courtyard with Er Gou and Er Niao.
Mrs. Wang did not go back to Lu Garden, instead she was sitting with Chen Afu under the porch of the east wing, observing the children playing.
In the distance, Honglin Mountain was like an undulating black silhouette, accentuating the crimson dusk illuminating atop the mountain. Occasionally, homeward-bound birds would glide across the sky, disappearing into the brilliant clouds and sunset hues.
Suddenly, Chen Afu saw many birds emerging from the red clouds, approaching them in a dense flock, like a bombardment of aircrafts. These birds flew closer and closer, reaching the airspace above Fu Garden. They first circled around, then dropped numerous "fecal bombs" all over, subsequently settling down on the trees and rooftops. The children playing in the courtyard all shrieked and ducked under the porch, while Qi Qi and Hui Hui were loudly exclaiming "Welcome." Because whenever guests arrived at their house, the hosts would always greet them with a "Welcome."
