Chapter 267 Come Over

Bai Lu was stunned when she returned to the boat.

The teenagers who were originally sitting around the table, talking about life and ideals, have now turned into dancing hand in hand around the table.

They danced and sang at the same time, their voices loud and clear, and their faces were filled with happy smiles.

The dance they performed... was also very beautiful.

Just like the dance Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang did on Xiao Cheng's birthday last time, they kicked their legs left and right in unison, displaying a strong ethnic flavor.

Xiao Wei couldn't escape the friendly clutches of the older brothers either. Luo Shiliu and Wang Hao flanked him, holding his little arms and making him dance. The poor guy looked utterly hopeless.

"Is everyone drunk?"

A drunkard can spot a drunkard perfectly in a single glance, and Bailu finally concluded that the problem must be with the fruit wine.

I didn't feel anything while drinking it, and I didn't feel anything after drinking it either. It took a long time for the effects to kick in.

Once the momentum kicks in, you start to feel lightheaded.

While drinking juice, Bai Lu watched the men's folk dance, and as she watched, she even wanted to join in and dance herself.

Her feet were itching to move, but her waist was held captive by strong, powerful arms, preventing her from going anywhere.

"Acheng, I want to go too."

Bai Lu poked at the large hand encircling her waist, trying to pry it open but couldn't, so she could only grab his hand and shake it.

She insisted on holding someone's hand before going dancing, but Xiao Cheng disagreed and took a slice of watermelon from the next table to appease her.

"Eat watermelon."

Bai Lu's restless desire was instantly diverted by the watermelon. After she finished the watermelon, Xiao Cheng gave her a piece of cantaloupe.

After finishing the cantaloupe, it was time for a peach.

Bai Lu instinctively put it in her mouth, only to realize when it reached her lips, "It wasn't peeled."

I decisively shut my mouth and withdrew my determination to bite.

Xiao Cheng gave her a different slice of watermelon.

Bai Lu said, "I want to eat peaches."

Xiao Cheng knew without even thinking that she was eager to try. He wrapped his left arm around her slender waist, picked up a peach from the table, and used his right hand to peel it with a fruit knife.

The blockade of the exit route was not affected in the slightest.

Bai Lu looked down at the arm that crossed her waist, and then followed the arm to her right hand holding a peach.

This was the first time I had the idea of ​​gaining weight and expanding my waist.

Perhaps because he often holds a knife, Xiao Cheng peels fruit very skillfully, without breaking a single piece of peel from beginning to end.

The speed was also very fast. The idea of ​​feeding the baby during the White Dew season had barely formed halfway when the feeding arrived in real time.

Each bite is sweet and juicy, absolutely delicious.

The men's dancing team is so jealous!

She decisively jumped out and surrounded Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu: "Big brother and sister-in-law, come dance!"

Let's dance together!

Xiao Cheng had just calmed everyone down when the men's group pulled this stunt. He just wanted to punch each of them.

Bai Lu shook Xiao Cheng's arm: "A-Cheng..."

"Help! Someone has fallen into the water!"

A pig-like scream suddenly rang out, interrupting Bai Lu's unfinished words, and entered the ship from outside.

"Help! Someone, come quick!"

"Someone has fallen into the water! Help!"

More and more sounds resounded through the night, piercing through the boy band's loud singing, and the singing and dancing came to an abrupt halt.

Everyone staggered and ran outside.

Poor Xiao Wei was finally free. He followed Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu, and walked out with the others.

The screams for help outside did not come from the bow of the dragon boat, but from the fifth raft on the back of the dragon boat.

When Bai Lu and Xiao Cheng arrived at the fourth raft, Li Shuixian and Zhou Jiayi had already been rescued.

Aside from being pale, soaked to the bone, and trembling like a leaf, with the skin on her hands and feet exposed to the air turning slightly white from being soaked for so long, she was otherwise fine.

She even had the strength to glare at people, staring fiercely at Bai Lu with her four eyes before turning away in fear and trembling.

Xiao Zhihai tried to help Li Shuixian back to the second raft, but Li Shuixian's legs were weak and she was too weak to stand up.

His body was so fat it was like a ball, so heavy that Xiao Zhihai couldn't lift him up even after trying for a long time. Finally, with the help of others, he managed to lift him up and move him step by step.

As Zhou Jiayi was helped away by Lan Caiying and another male classmate, she glared at Bai Lu as they passed by, her eyes filled with fear and viciousness.

Before they could take two steps, they tripped over something and all three figures fell to the ground.

"My goodness~ Is she really that pitiful?"

Luo Shiliu leaned against the railing at the junction of the third and fourth rafts, his face showing exaggerated sympathy.

Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang, who were standing nearby, also felt sorry for him.

"They could fall into the river together just by taking a boat ride. How pitiful! They should just go back and lie down."

"He can't even walk steadily, he's so pitiful."

"He used all his energy to glare at people, of course he can't walk steadily, he just wants to crawl back."

Zhou Jiayi had never met such a gossipy and talkative man. She was both angry and furious, but dared not speak out.

After all, she really did fall into the river and really got hurt, so embarrassing that she had to be helped away.

Trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; trying to outsmart Bailu but ending up being outsmarted instead; if word gets out, you'll be condemned and criticized to death.

No matter how indignant Li Shuixian and Zhou Jiayi were, they could only swallow their anger and bear it silently.

The dragon boats traveled from Xinzhen to Pingcheng, enjoying the lights of thousands of homes, the magnificent scenery of the Jinjiang River, the starry Milky Way, and the natural beauty of green mountains and clear waters, before returning along the same route, carrying laughter and joy.

Everyone goes back to their homes.

After taking a bath, Bai Lu did not sit in the courtyard to bask in the moonlight or do laundry as usual.

Instead, she took a small stool, sat down by the washbasin, rested her chin on her hands, and stared intently at Xiao Cheng washing clothes across from her, her clear and pure eyes filled with curiosity.

Why are you doing my laundry?

Xiao Cheng paused in washing the skirt, and said softly, "Can't you go back to sleep?"

Bai Lu shook her head: "I want to see you do the laundry."

Xiao Cheng: "..."

"Not reading anymore?"

Bai Lu shook her head: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, I have a holiday."

I mentioned a holiday last time, but it turned out to be different.

Xiao Cheng looked into the girl's innocent and pure eyes, remained silent for a moment, and continued washing clothes without saying anything.

Bai Lu said, "You look so handsome when you're washing clothes, much more handsome than the washing machine."

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Xiao Wei noticed that Bai Lu was a little different tonight, somewhat like his older brother after he got drunk.

But it's also a little different.

When the eldest brother got drunk, he would pester Bai Lu. When Bai Lu got drunk, she would also pester the eldest brother, but not in the same way. It was more like unreasonable pestering. Bai Lu would pester the eldest brother to talk and ask him questions, questions that he wouldn't normally ask.

My sister-in-law must be drunk.

Xiao Wei suddenly remembered what happened last time, stole a glance at his older brother and sister-in-law, and quickly finished washing and hanging up the clothes.

After saying goodnight, I went back to my room and closed the door.

Bai Lu stayed with Xiao Cheng until he finished washing and hanging up their clothes, and then they went back to their room together.

He got into bed but didn't sleep.

They chatted under the covers.

"Acheng, why don't you make and sell an electric chestnut roasting machine?"

This problem had been bothering Bai Lu for a long time, and even though her mind was a complete mess at the moment, she hadn't forgotten about it.

Xiao Cheng stared at the rusty ceiling, remained silent for a moment, then turned his head slightly to look at her: "Want to know?"

Bai Lu nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes."

Xiao Cheng opened his arms wide: "Come here."
