Zheng Shan ultimately did not go down to the river to play.
She hugged her knees, curled up into a ball like a little hedgehog.
Lin Nianhe did not force her, but simply said, "Then whenever you want to play, come find me, and I'll bring you here again, okay?"
Zheng Shan's eyes moved slightly, and she imperceptibly nodded her head.
When Zheng Lirong came back, they had just finished dinner.
"Sister Lirong, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I'm not hungry."
Zheng Lirong pulled Bai Xiaojun and Zheng Shan along, and said to Lin Nianhe, "I'm going to take them to stay at the guest house tonight, and we'll come back tomorrow."
"Okay, just a moment," Lin Nianhe said, taking out a food container she had prepared earlier, "I saved some food for you, just heat it up with boiling water at the guest house before you eat."
It was almost dark, and asking her to stay for dinner would only delay her.
"Thank you, girl."
