She spoke to the four little ones, "Come one by one to mother's side and place them, this is by the river, it's not safe, you must be obedient, only mother can protect you while you release them."
"Mhm~" The four little ones obediently did as they were told.
After all four little ones had placed their lotus lanterns, An Jing finally looked up and asked her husband, "Husband, there's one left, do you want to release it?"
That one was specifically reserved by An Jing for Xiao Changyi to release, and Xiao Changyi would certainly not refuse. As soon as An Jing asked him, he nodded, "Mhm."
Having instructed Qin Er to take good care of the four children, Xiao Changyi crouched next to An Jing and together, they gently placed the last lotus lantern into the water.
The river's surface was almost completely covered with lotus lanterns, adorning the velvety night with breathtaking, dazzling beauty.
