Qin Jiao thought for a moment and said, "There'll be even more fun things to do when it gets colder. We can go up the mountain to gather nuts and catch wild pheasants and rabbits. When my dad has time, I'll ask him to take us."
Us.
That single word made the flowers in Shen Yi's chest flutter and bloom anew, crowding together in a dazzling riot of color.
The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "Alright."
After the group returned home, Qin Zhonghui said goodbye to his friend Li Tao and asked Su Yun and Qin Na to help carry all the fish inside.
Most of the fish were placed in a water tank for the time being. When her parents weren't looking, Qin Jiao carried a small basin into her space. Inside were two small, hand-length fish, thrashing about energetically.
Qin Jiao had experimented with this before. Vegetables placed in the space would stay fresh, though that might have been because they were sprinkled with Spiritual Spring Water.
'Wait, where's the spring?'
