Chapter 861: Chapter 0861: Mandarin Ducks Frolic in the Water 3

The day had been very pleasant. Before going to bed that night, Feng Qingxue helped Fubao take off her necklace, wanting to put her in a sleeping bag to avoid getting cold during the night. To her surprise, a sleepy Fubao suddenly clutched her necklace tight.

"My necklace!" Fubao opened her big eyes wide.

Having skipped her nap at noon, she was very tired, but still tried to keep her eyes wide open, although they showed no vigor, only sleepiness.

Feng Qingxue said gently and kindly, "I know it’s your necklace; Mom won’t take it away from you. Can you wear it again tomorrow? You need to sleep now, and wearing the necklace might make your neck uncomfortable."

"No, no, my necklace!" Fubao gripped it tightly.

Lu Jiang had already changed Xibao’s clothes, and she was fast asleep, snoring softly. Glancing over at the dispute between his wife and daughter, he couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Alright, alright, just wait until she falls asleep to take it off, right? Let her sleep first."

There was no choice but to do so, and Feng Qingxue sighed helplessly.

"I won’t take it, I won’t. Sleep well, Fubao."

Fubao was afraid that Feng Qingxue wouldn’t keep her word, clutching the necklace tightly, refusing to let go even when changing into her pajamas, and still holding on tight as she fell asleep. It took a lot of effort for Feng Qingxue to remove it after she was deep in slumber.

They had set up their bedding on the ground inside the tent, laying out thick felt and several cotton quilts pulled out by Feng Qingxue from her space.

To prevent dampness and cold, there were sheepskin mats between the quilts and the felt.

Not only that, but they had also made two adjoining beds.

Today, Lu Jiang was especially diligent, moving both children to one of the nests inside the tent. They lay head to foot, each with their own little pillow, while he and his wife cuddled in another nest.

The quilt was turned over, revealing the intimate warmth of husband and wife.

"We didn’t have the mandarin ducks bath today." Lu Jiang sighed into Feng Qingxue’s neck, sounding quite forlorn.

"This is someone else’s home; we just have to follow their customs!"

Feng Qingxue felt a bit of regret as well; after all, it was about the couple’s romantic moments!

Due to the presence of their two children, it had been a long time since the couple had been able to enjoy each other fully.

Lu Jiang was not content to let it go, "We’ll go again tomorrow." He didn’t believe the Tibetan folks bathed every day.

"I understood from Basang Zhuoma that they often go to bathe in the sacred spring."

"They don’t go every day," said Lu Jiang, understanding the customs of his Tibetan brethren better. "As the weather gets colder, they bathe less often, and in winter, they hardly bathe at all, because bathing too frequently isn’t suitable for the weather here. Their Bathing Festival is in the sixth or seventh month of the Tibetan calendar."

Regrettably, when they went to the hot springs the next day, they encountered another group of Tibetans.

Most of them weren’t the same people as the day before, but Basang Zhuoma was there; she had made arrangements with Feng Qingxue, so it was natural for her to show up.

Fubao immediately ran up to her, touching the large and heavy necklace on her chest, "Sister, is my necklace pretty? I woke up and couldn’t find it; I was so scared I cried."

Indeed, she had cried, a heart-wrenching sob.

Feng Qingxue translated this for Basang Zhuoma, who couldn’t help but smile at Fubao and say, "Do you like it that much?"

"Children, especially girls, love beauty," Feng Qingxue resolved in her mind to take out all the jewelry from her space once the dark era was over and dress up her daughter to her heart’s content. She didn’t want her to treasure a string of beads as if it were a rare treasure, ignorant of the fact that the value and significance of this necklace weren’t even one thousandth of Xibao’s Heaven Pearl.
