Chapter fifty three

Talking about Caihong.

When she arrived home, she started making the menu she had thought in her mind. It was not one, she cooked five dishes. When she finished, she organized the food in a large hand basket and left the house on purpose to go to Wan Hua Lou. Today there was no one in the house, so the girl could feel at ease to get out.

In fact, Lantian had told that she would come to accompany her in the evening to take the food to Yang Ying, but Caihong didn't want to disturb her, she wanted to do it by herself, so she decided to go alone.

This kind of personality of the girl, Lantian was able to guess; hence, she told Yang Ying to organize a female maid to wait before the building – when she saw Caihong, she brought her in through the backdoor of Wan Hua Lou.

Before going to meet with Yang Ying, Caihong had a hope that at least one among her five foods would be accepted, but sadly, all of them were rejected.

"The taste is not good," Yang Ying said honestly. However, she still gave a chance to her. "You keep these foods here. I will ask others to taste them. Perhaps they like it."

Caihong forced herself to smile. She knew that Yang Ying tried to encourage her.

After getting out Wan Hua Luo, Caihong walked with a dried face. She strolled her feet slowly and she even took a pause to take a long breath, then looked at the sky that was over her head. 

The airspace was blue, having nothing, even a piece of cloud, the same as her mind at this time, empty and light.

Until she arrived home, she didn't have any feelings or strength. She put the basket on the table, then went to her room and climbed to sleep on the bed. Even lunch she didn't feel like having. At this hour, she didn't want anything just to have a quiet time for herself. On the mattress, she slept on her left while her eyes looked through the open window. She saw the ether, she saw it had the color that she adored in her life. She kept her eyes on that color; she didn't know how long she watched it; she just felt that the blue sky wanted to tell her something. Actually she was trying to listen to it, but her ears seemed unable to hear what it was saying to her. No matter how long she spent trying to listen, she could not perceive anything.

"Boring," Caihong said. Then she raised her back from the bed and got out to visit her garden. She saw her flowers had orange leaves.

"Sorry," she said. "I forgot to water you. Wait a little bit."

Rapidly, she filled the container with water then sprayed over all blossoms. After watering, she went through each pot to stir the soil and take away the brown and dead leaves. Next she went to take care of the white water lily pot by picking up the rotten leaves and changing the water.

From the sky was still brightening till the dark covered it, Caihong worked in her garden without leaving. Her body was soaked with sweat and her hands were dirty with soil; however, she determined that she would not stop if her garden was not clean.
