Nan Wuyu could only shake his head repeatedly at Nan Wusi's unrestrained behavior; his younger sister really lacked any self-awareness as a girl. However, this style was indeed in line with the temperament of their Nan family.
Namo Si jumped into the river with a splash and began catching fish with his bare hands.
After waiting patiently for a while, a small fish swam to Nan Wusi's feet. She seized the opportunity and struck instantly.
But they didn't catch them!
Startled by Nan Wusi's actions, the fish swam away instantly.
Nan Wusi was not discouraged. She remained motionless, waiting for the next opportunity.
Soon another small fish swam over. This time, Nan Wusi wasn't in such a hurry, waiting for the fish to swim happily around her. She bent down, trying to stay close to the water's surface, and made a grabbing motion with her hands.
Now! Nan Wusi quickly reached for the small fish and caught it perfectly.
"Yay, I caught it!" Nan Wusi shouted happily, holding up the fish. But before she could even celebrate for a moment, the fish slipped from her hand, splashing water and soaking her completely.
"Hahaha, little sister, your skills have gotten rusty." Nan Wuyu mocked mercilessly.
"Second brother, come down here! What are you still standing on the bank for?" Nan Wusi said, splashing water from the river at Nan Wuyu.
Although Nan Wuyu did not expect Nan Wusi to splash him, he was not someone who would fall for a trick so easily. He simply used his internal energy to jump to the side and avoid the splash.
“A gentleman uses words, not fists. Little sister, you’re being too mean.” Nan Wuyu patted his clothes in a pretentious manner.
"Tch, I'm not a gentleman." Nan Wusi turned her head away and ignored Nan Wuyu, because she saw another small fish.
This time, she learned from her mistake, patiently waiting for the fish to swim closer, and then getting into a ready-to-catch position, waiting for the decisive blow.
Finally, this time the fish wasn't so lucky; it was caught by Nan Wusi and quickly thrown onto the shore.
After catching the fish, Nan Wusi acted like he had a cheat code, throwing one fish onto the shore every now and then, and soon a small pile of fish accumulated on the bank.
"Little sister, come up here and warm yourself up. I'm going down to catch some fish, otherwise you'll catch a cold."
When Namo Si went down to the river, Namo Yu sent people to collect firewood from the vicinity. The fire was already lit, which was just right for warming oneself by the fire.
Seeing that his second brother had thought of everything so thoughtfully, Nan Wusi didn't stand on ceremony and went straight ashore to sit by the fire. His outer clothes had been soaked, but now they were indeed quite cool.
After Nan Wusi came up, Nan Wuyu went down to take his place, and also threw fish onto the shore one after another.
Although the fish in this river are not very big, there are quite a few of them. If we catch more, everyone can get one.
The guards had already gathered around a bonfire and were grilling fish separately. Nan Wusi naturally sat with Xiao Yi and the others.
The arduous task of grilling fish was then entrusted to Xuan Li and Ye Zi.
After Xuan Li finished grilling the fish, she handed it to her master, but Xiao Yi said, "Let Miss Nan eat this fish first."
"I don't need it, you eat first, eat more. You've looked haggard lately, if you don't replenish your nutrition you won't look good anymore." Nan Wusi spoke her mind directly.
However, Xiao Yi's face darkened, and he could no longer contain himself, saying, "Miss Nan, do you really like my face that much?"
"Yes," Nan Wusi answered honestly. Although she was a sucker for good looks, her motto was: it starts with appearance and ends with appearance; nothing else matters.
Hearing this answer, Xiao Yi could only be angry, but there was nothing he could do. So he snatched the grilled fish from Xuan Li's hand and ate it in a sullen voice.
But Nan Wusi acted as if nothing was wrong, watching Xiao Yi eat fish with a smile.
Xuan Li couldn't bear to watch any longer and suddenly felt a little sorry for her prince.
Nan Wuyu, however, was pleased with Nan Wusi's performance, and seeing Xiao Yi humiliated made him feel good.
He just couldn't stand Xiao Yi taking advantage of his good looks to hang around in front of his little sister all day. Nan Wuyu clearly felt that his little sister was staring at Xiao Yi's face for a rather long time.
Thinking of this, Nan Wuyu was still somewhat indignant. He was, after all, one of the most handsome men in the capital, but his little sister didn't even look at him. She stared at a man outside all day long. How embarrassing!
Nan Wusi was naturally unaware of her second brother's complicated thoughts. She simply enjoyed watching Xiao Yi eat, unhurried, beautiful, and elegant.
Compared to Xiao Yi's eating manners, Nan Wusi felt like a rough, uncouth country bumpkin.
After eating the grilled fish, everyone's energy and spirits were indeed better, and they had more energy to keep going.
They originally planned to arrive in Xiangnan City tomorrow afternoon, but unexpectedly, everyone arrived early at noon.
Now they had more time to rest and recuperate. After all, there were still about ten days of travel ahead, but there were no more towns this large along the way.
After several days of long journey, Nan Wusi didn't want to move an inch in the inn. He lay on the bed and didn't want to get up, even when it was time to eat. He simply asked the innkeeper to bring the food to his room.
After dinner, Nan Wusi continued to lie down, and she wailed loudly at the thought of the ten-day journey ahead.
Although the others were also tired, they were not like Nan Wusi, who didn't want to get out of bed once he was in bed.
Nan Wuyu and Xiao Yi both went to Xiangnan City for a stroll and bought some local specialties. They both knew that Nan Wusi loved to eat these, and they could use them as snacks when they were traveling.
