Xiao Xiao smiled.
"Literally."
Seeing that Zhuge Yun's expression was hard to read, a flicker of amusement crossed Xiao Xiao's eyes.
"I mean on shore."
"Look."
"Isn't the line getting longer and longer?"
Zhuge Yun and Zhang Bo instinctively looked toward the shore.
"...Oh."
"There are more and more people."
"Looks like everyone really enjoys boating on the lake in the rain."
"We're heading back."
The boatman reminded the passengers.
Zhuge Yun looked around.
"What are you looking for?"
Zhang Bo asked, puzzled.
"Nannan..."
Zhuge Yun murmured.
He wanted the two children to say goodbye to Nannan.

He hoped their meeting could come to a proper end and remain a happy memory.
"She's over there."
Xiao Xiao said.
"Where?"
Zhuge Yun squinted.
"Ah, I see her."
"Boatman, could you take us over there?"
The woman noticed the approaching boat.
Zhuge Yun smiled.
"We're going ashore."
"Let the two children come over and say goodbye to Little Orange."
Zhuge Yun remembered the new names the children had gotten today.
Little Peach had come up with them.
Nannan's lips curled into a smile.
She liked being called Little Orange.
"Little Peach, Lailai, are you going ashore?"
Nannan moved closer to the side of the boat.

Nannan waved. "Goodbye."
"Little Peach, if we get the chance next time, I'll bring you some peaches from my grandma's house."
"The peaches my grandma grows are really delicious."
Nannan looked almost droolingly eager.
Little Peach paused.
She pressed her lips together, looking a little awkward. "My grandma doesn't grow oranges."
"Pfft!"
