Wen Li had already arranged for the boatman to wait on the black boat on the shore. Zou Ya pulled Jiang Yu to the boat and said to her, “Sister, 1’11 take you on the boat.”

The first time Jiang Yu took a boat was when she was just a month old. It was also when she was following Jiang An on her variety show.

Therefore, this was the first time Jiang Yu had seen something like a boat after she started to form memories. She had followed Zou Ya all the way here. She had long been shocked by the Zou family’s garden landscape. This was a little similar to her own house, but most of it was different.

Jiang Yu nodded excitedly and imitated Zou Ya’s words. “Take the boat.”

The servants were afraid that the two children would lose their balance and fall into the water when they boarded the boat, so they were carried onto the boat.

There were a few small bamboo chairs on the boat. The servants sat scattered around the small bamboo chairs to guard them.

After everyone sat down, the boatman held the long bamboo pole and exerted force on the ground by the shore. The boat sailed into the lake.

The boatman was experienced in rowing the boat. Although the boat swayed a little, it sailed very steadily.

Zou Ya was worried that Jiang Yu would not be able to sit still, so he specially held Jiang Yu’s hand. “Sister, don’t be afraid. I’ll hold your hand. Do you know what this lake is called?”

Younger children always had an inexplicable attraction to older children. When Jiang Yu heard Zou Ya’s voice, her attention was successfully diverted. She turned to look at Zou Ya and blinked her big eyes.

At this moment, Zou Ya’s heart melted at the cuteness of this sister who was visiting his house for the first time. He smiled. “Sister, you’re different from those little sisters who always cry. I like you so much. Can you come to my house as a guest next time?”

Jiang Yu could feel that the little older brother in front of her seemed to like her very much, so she smiled even wider and called out sweetly, “Brother.”

Seeing this, Zou Ya was even happier in his heart. He began to explain enthusiastically, “Sister, this lake is called Lotus Seed Lake. When summer comes, the lake will be filled with lotus flowers. Come to my house. I’ll show you the lotus flowers and pick the lotus seed pods. The lotus seeds inside the lotus seed pod taste very good!”

Jiang Yu felt Zou Ya’s happiness and raised the little hand holding the ring emphatically, making a clapping gesture.

With Jiang Yu’s response, Zou Ya’s mood became even better. She continued to explain, “When the boat reaches the center of the lake, we can start feeding the fish. Our koi are very beautiful. There are all kinds of colors.”

Jiang Yu clapped her hands and said, “Fishies.”

Auntie Zhang watched as the boat rowed to the center of the lake. She turned around and took out two mahogany boxes from the bag and placed them on an empty stool. “Young Master, Miss Yu, the fish feed is ready.”

Zou Ya skillfully grabbed it and turned to look at Jiang Yu. He smiled and said, “Sister, I’ll perform magic for you. When I wave my hand later, there will be many, many beautiful koi fish coming to our side.”

After Zou Ya finished speaking, he scattered the fish feed in his hand. The feed floated on the lake. In less than two seconds, she saw a golden fish mouth sticking out of the water and eating two pieces of feed.

Soon, more than a dozen koi came over to snatch food.

The Jiang family had never reared fish before. When Jiang Yu saw this scene, she felt that it was very novel. She stood up excitedly and even took two steps forward, wanting to get closer to the lake to watch. Aunt Sang was so frightened that she immediately stood up.

Fortunately, Zou Ya was also paying attention at all times. He quickly stopped Jiang Yu from moving forward. “Sister, it’s safer to watch from here.”

Jiang Yu was stopped and was a little anxious. She frowned and pointed at the fish in the lake. She said to Zou Ya, “Fish, look at fishies!”

Aunt Sang hurriedly went forward and squatted by the side of the boat. She reached out and pulled Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu only felt that someone wanted to stop her. Her chubby hand kept trying to push Aunt Sang’s arm away.

Aunt Sang quickly coaxed her softly, “Little Feather, be good. You can’t go forward. It’ll be uncomfortable if you fall into the water. If you feel uncomfortable, you’ll have to go to the hospital for an injection!”

Jiang Yu, who was originally a little impatient, paused when she heard the word injection. She recalled the feeling of the needle piercing her skin and her small neck shrank. However, her black eyes looked at the fish in the water with a determined gaze.

Seeing this, Zou Ya immediately took the small stool that Jiang Yu was sitting on and placed it by the side of the boat. “Sister, sit here. It’s also very close.”

Jiang Yu glanced at the stool and realized that it was closer to the fish than her seat. She compromised and quickly sat down.

Aunt Sang finally heaved a sigh of relief. She moved Zou Ya’s stool and wooden box to Jiang Yu’s side and said softly to Zou Ya, “Thank you, Young Master
