Chapter 177 Play

Xiao Jinyi was somewhat tempted when he heard his humming, but before he could take any action, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter coming to bring them food.

Shen Shixu was feeling comfortable. He didn't want to open the door himself, nor did he want Xiao Jinyi to open the door, so he shouted loudly.

"The door is not locked, come in!"

The waiter held the tray in both hands and pushed the door open with his back. After coming in, he put the dishes on the table and then left obediently. He didn't look around at all, which made people feel good about him.

The two men did not ask the boss to prepare a particularly sumptuous meal, but just ate a simple meal. As soon as they put down their bowls, there was a knock on the door again.

"Guests, I'm here to collect the dishes. I wonder if you two have finished your meal?"

"We've finished eating, thank you for your help." Shen Shixu walked over and opened the door. It was the same waiter who had served them the food before. The boy quickly cleared the dishes and chopsticks.

Then he asked them if they needed bath water, and if so, he would go and boil the water now.

It's so hot, and I've been traveling for most of the day, so I need to take a good bath to relieve my fatigue.

"Of course!"

The waiter quickly boiled the water and brought it up for them.

Xiao Jinyi took the two buckets of hot water from the waiter and poured them into the bathtub behind the screen.

Add another bucket of cold water, and the temperature is just right.

Shen Shixu couldn't wait to take off all his clothes and stepped into the bathtub.

Soaking in the warm hot water, Shen Shixu felt that every bone in his body was softened and his pores were opened, which made him feel extremely comfortable.

While he was enjoying it with his eyes closed, another person squeezed into the bathtub. The bathtubs that were originally somewhat empty were immediately filled to the brim. Shen Shixu opened his eyes and looked at someone who had squeezed in and said.

"This tub is too small to accommodate both of us. You can wait until I'm done before you take a shower, or I'll go out and you can take a shower first."

As Shen Shixu was about to get out of the bathtub, Xiao Jinyi pulled him back and let him sit on his legs with his chest against his.

"It's a bit crowded for the two of us, but there's enough space. Why don't we take a shower together? It saves water and time."

Shen Shixu sat on his thighs, and soon he felt something hard pressing against him.

How could Shen Shixu, who had experienced human affairs, not know what that was?

"You, please hold it back for a minute. At least wait until we get into bed."

Xiao Jinyi couldn't wait any longer. He quickly scooped up the water from the bathtub to wash himself and Shen Shixu, then picked him up amid Shen Shixu's exclamation.

As soon as they got on the bed, Xiao Jinyi pressed down on him. Shen Shixu stretched out his hands and hugged his shoulders, and the two of them made love...

The following 500 words are omitted

The next day, Shen Shixu was woken up by Xiao Jinyi. He rubbed his eyes, sat up and yawned, staring blankly at a certain point. After being in a daze for a while, Shen Shixu finally came to his senses.

After they got dressed and washed, they left the inn and went outside. After eating two bowls of wontons, they started strolling around the town.

Everything in the town is no different from the capital, except that it is more lively and has fewer people, and the things sold by street vendors are more simple.

For example, Chen Shixu bought two bamboo hats. They are light and breathable and very comfortable to wear.

There are also clay sculptures, which are lifelike. The feathers of the bird-shaped clay sculptures are clearly visible, and they look like they are about to fly.

Shen Shixu picked out a few to give to An Chengyu. While he was choosing clay sculptures, he suddenly caught a glimpse of someone selling candied haws.

However, the candied haws sold here are different from those in Beijing. Not all of them are made with hawthorn.

Shen Shixu looked at the emerald green grapes coated with a layer of golden sugar, and felt that the glutton in his stomach was aroused.

He stuffed the selected clay sculpture into Xiao Jinyi's arms, asked him to pay, and then caught up with the vendor selling candied haws.

"Uncle, I want to buy some candied haws, but this is my first time buying this kind of candied haws. Can you introduce the flavor to me?"

When the uncle selling candied haws heard him say this, he knew that the other party was a foreigner, so he introduced him to others.

"This emerald green one is grape, this white one is peach, and this red one is watermelon flavored...

See which flavor you like? ”

Shen Shixu picked a few flavors he had never tried, namely grape, peach, and watermelon, and also picked up a hawthorn flavor.

After paying the money, he took the four candied haws back to Xiao Jinyi, and Shen Shixu brought the watermelon candied haws to Xiao Jinyi's mouth.

"There are many varieties of candied haws here. This one has watermelon flavor. I remember you like watermelon very much. How about trying it?"

Xiao Jinyi took a big bite out of courtesy. It tasted okay, but he had never eaten this flavor before, so it was quite rare. Overall, it was not bad.

"good!"

Chen Shixu knew that what Xiao Jinyi meant by "good" meant that it was delicious, so he couldn't wait to take a bite of the grape candied haws.

"Yeah, it's delicious. It would be great if this kind of food was sold in Beijing. I'm not used to eating hawthorns. They always taste a bit sour."

Xiao Jinyi saw that he looked a little regretful, so he walked up to him and gave him the watermelon flavored one. "If you like, we grow a lot of fruits in our farm. We can ask the chef to try making candied haws with different flavors."

After being reminded by him, Shen Shixu thought that there were indeed many fruits and vegetables planted on the farm of their palace, and he brought a lot of them back to the Shen Mansion when he returned home yesterday!

"Okay! I'll ask the chef to make it for me when I get back, and then I'll invite Jiang Bin and the others to come over to eat."

No matter how much Shen Shixu liked eating candied haws, he didn't finish all of them in one go.

He walked towards Lianhu Lake while eating candied haws. He gave the leftovers to Xiao Jinyi, who finished the rest in just a few bites.

The two men found the person in charge and rented a small boat. Since Xiao Jinyi could row a boat, they did not hire a boatman.

Xiao Jinyi stood at one end of the boat, rowing with his hands crossed. The boat slowly moved away from the shore and headed towards the center of the lake.

Shen Shixu sat on the boat, the shed above his head blocked most of the sunlight, and Shen Shixu stretched out his hand and brushed the water.

Because of the sunshine, the lake water is not cold at all, but rather very warm.

But on such a hot day, Shen Shixu preferred something cooler and quickly pulled his hand back from the lake.

He looked at Xiao Jinyi who was rowing at the bow. His tall figure blocked all the sunlight that was not blocked by the cabin.

Shen Shixu sat in his shadow, feeling the rare coolness of summer, and the breeze brought waves of lotus fragrance.
