Chapter 518: Waiting for the Summer Solstice
“Sir, Lady Calico said she’s watching the stars from the tree and will come down later.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s what Lady Calico said.”
“Lady Calico!” Song You tilted his head back, looking up along the trunk of the parasol tree. His gaze was soon blocked by the thick mist. Then he asked, “Are the stars up there beautiful?”
“...” A faint voice could be heard from above.
The higher one went, the colder it was. Its voice was already growing distant.
“I can't hear clearly,” the Daoist said casually.
“They—are—so—beautiful!” A drawn-out reply came from above, carried by the wind. This time, it was loud enough to be heard.
“Then when will you come down?”
“In a while!” The calico cat’s voice paused briefly before she asked nervously, “The stars up here are really beautiful. Do you want to come up and see?”
“Lady Calico, you should just jump down. I’ll catch you.”
