Two Flowers on a Stem

The gentle mountain breeze blew the green leaves on both sides of the river. The bright moon hung high in the sky, casting silver moonlight that illuminated the river.

The wall of the inn facing the river was at the edge of the riverbank, which was no more than two feet wide. Normally, no one would set foot in this place. But at this moment, a human and a bird were sitting at the edge of the riverbank.

Luo Ning was wearing a long blue dress and a veiled hat. She was sitting on a handkerchief with her legs dangling in the air. Beside her was a small box containing dried meat, and she was feeding the bird.

The big, fluffy white bird was squatting obediently in front of her. Because it had eaten a lot of food in the carriage, it rarely opened its mouth to ask for food. It only looked at the stars in the sky and hummed a tune.
