Soon, the two arrived at Yanhuang Lake.

As soon as Ning Xihua got off the carriage, she saw the black-covered boat parked by the lake.

"What is this?"

Ning Xihua looked embarrassed. He thought they wouldn't have to take the boat again.

"Why, you can go boating on the Mi River with He Louche, but you can't go sightseeing on Yandang Lake with me?"

Such a cool tone, such a proud look, why is the boss still trying to compare...

She was so scared that she quickly smoothed her hair and said with a wry smile, "It's because I'm afraid of seasickness, but I'm with His Highness, and I'd rather die with him, not to mention a mere seasickness."

Although Zhixiao was trying to make him happy, Su Bi was still pleased by the flattery.

"Don't worry, this boat is very stable. You won't get dizzy."

After getting on the boat, Ning Xihua discovered that this black-covered boat was a different world. Although it looked like an ordinary ferry in Jiangnan from the outside, it was exquisite and comfortable inside, not inferior to those pleasure boats for entertaining guests.

As the boat sailed on the lake, the ripples broke the reflection of the distant mountains. Not far away, gulls were playing in the lake, adding a bit of wildness.

The air was filled with the scent of water chestnuts and lake water. Ning Xihua took a deep breath and felt a slight astringency that immediately cleared the air in her chest.

Since ancient times, people have felt sad and lonely in autumn. I say autumn is better than spring. The ancients were not deceiving me!

An autumn breeze blew, and Ning Xihua instantly felt the chill of autumn.

"I just recovered from my injury, so I sat on the bow and enjoyed the cool breeze. I'm not afraid of getting sick and taking medicine for a few days."

While Su Bi was scolding her, she put on the cloak she had prepared for her.

Ning Xihua didn't talk back, but just grabbed the collar of her cloak and turned around to smile at Su Bi.

She had a bright smile and bright eyes, which were full of his reflection.

For a moment, Su Bi felt that the scenery of lakes and mountains in autumn was not as beautiful as the scenery in her smile.

"You."

Su Bi shook her head and tapped her forehead hard.

Ning Xihua still smiled foolishly. She felt that being with the boss made her less seasick and the scenery was more beautiful.

"By the way, why did you think of taking me on a boat trip?"

Ning Xihua was a little curious. It couldn't be that she was just trying to compete with He Louche.

"Of course not." Su Bi knew what she was thinking as soon as she saw her eyes rolling around.

He reached out and held one of her hands, and only let go after making sure it was warm.

Ning Xihua has almost become immune to Su Bi's little clingy moves from time to time, mainly because Su Bi did it too many times during her convalescence under the pretext of taking care of her. So when Su Bi does these moves again, she feels accustomed to it.

Now, Ning Xihua felt that Su Bi was keeping her in suspense, which aroused her curiosity. She took Su Bi's arm and asked, "Why is that?"

She always felt that the boss didn't seem like the kind of person who would drag her on a cruise out of boredom.

Su Bi raised the corner of his mouth, and without brushing her away, he pointed to the lake and asked, "What do you think that is?"

Ning Xihua turned her head and saw several protruding wooden stakes in the lake with a lot of hemp ropes tied to them, as if something was tied to it and sunk to the bottom of the lake.

She was horrified. No...it couldn't be a corpse? Did the boss dump the body at the bottom of the lake again?!

Su Bi knew she was thinking the wrong thing as soon as she saw her expression, and pinched her face unhappily, "What's in your head?"

Ning Xihua covered her face with her hands, mumbling and begging for mercy, "Well... I'm too thick..."

Su Bi let go of her face, glanced at her, and then told the boatman to row the boat over. The hand that had just pinched her face rubbed its fingers unconsciously under its wide sleeve.

It feels pretty good...

Ning Xihua also knew that she had misunderstood, and immediately sat up straight with a well-behaved look on her face.

When the boat passed by, the boatman skillfully pulled up the hemp rope and pulled out the cages from the lake.

This is... a crab cage?

"Didn't you keep asking for crabs? Your injuries hadn't fully healed at that time. I asked the doctor these past two days and he said you don't need to avoid eating crabs anymore."

Ning Xihua was a little dazed. Before, because of her injury, she had been drinking plain water and taking bitter medicine, and her mouth was almost dry.

The crabs were fat at that time, and she had been eating them for several days. However, Su Bi and the old man refused to let her see a single crab, and she felt resentful about this for a long time.

"The female crabs are not fat at this time, but the male crabs are still okay. Although the crabs in this lake are not the best, they are freshly caught and cooked."

As Su Bi spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, took out a fire starter and lit the small clay stove. After the boatman took out the crabs, he washed them, prepared them, and put them into the small steamer on the stove.

Ning Xihua was stunned by his series of actions of lighting a fire and steaming crabs. The handsome and elegant Crown Prince was personally steaming crabs for her!

The important thing is, she can finally eat crabs!

Oh my god, how can the boss be so considerate! He can pinch her face ten more times!!!

Ning Xihua hugged her knees and stared at the steamer with anticipation. She almost typed the words "Hurry up, I want to eat it so much" in her mind.

Su Bi found it a little funny. Ning Xihua seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with eating, which was particularly childish.

"alright."

Su Bi opened the lid of the steamer, and four red crabs lay quietly on the white steamer cloth, which was extremely tempting.

Ning Xihua's eyes lit up and she reached out to take it.

Su Bi immediately grabbed her eager hand and said helplessly, "Wait a moment, I'll iron it."

Ning Xihua finally reacted and withdrew her hand a little embarrassedly, but still stared at him eagerly.

Su Bi sighed, reached out to take the crab out and put it on the plate.

"Hey, don't you want to perm..."

Su Bi looked at her and said, "I'm fine. I'm just worried that if I don't let you eat crabs again, your saliva will flood the whole boat."

Ning Xihua touched the corner of her mouth subconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed. She couldn't help herself in front of the delicious food.

Su Bi took out a set of eight silver crab disassembly tools from the low cabinet on the boat, and performed the whole set of crab disassembly movements smoothly, including knocking off the shell, opening the lid, removing the gills, separating the legs, scraping the roe, and picking the meat.

Ning Xihua watched Su Bi's quick and graceful movements, and silently swallowed the four words "I'll take it off myself".

After all, the beauty's way of dismantling the crab was not only pleasing to the eye, but also much faster than she could do it herself.

Su Bi separated the crab roe, crab paste and crab meat, put them into an exquisite porcelain plate, and gently pushed it in front of Ning Xihua.

Ning Xihua thanked Su Bi with a smile without saying a word, and then started to feast on the food.

I have to say, the freshly cooked crabs are so delicious that they almost made her eyebrows fall off.

In addition, they caught the crabs themselves and Su Bi cooked them, so they felt a sense of accomplishment in having personally prepared the delicious food.

Of course, the boss did all the cooking, and she was in charge of eating...

Su Bi was still unpacking the crabs, and soon she had finished unpacking all four crabs. He pushed another large plate of crab meat towards her, but he only tasted a little.

Ning Xihua showed off several crabs in one breath and looked eagerly at Su Bi who was wiping her hands with a handkerchief, "Can I..."

Su Bi didn't even look up at her and replied directly: "No."

Ning Xihua instantly wilted.

"Crabs are cold in nature, and your body just can't bear to eat too much."

Su Bi took the teapot that had been kept warm on another clay stove, poured a cup of ginger tea and handed it to Ning Xihua.

"Drink some ginger tea to ward off the cold."

Seeing that she still looked depressed, Su Bi smiled and comforted her, "If you like it, I will take you to Taihu Lake to eat crabs next year when the female crabs are fat. The crabs there are the fattest and you will be able to eat as much as you want."

He patted Ning Xihua's head gently and said softly, "Be obedient."

Ning Xihua was so confused by the sound of the crab that she instantly forgot about the sadness of not having enough crabs. All she could hear in her mind was Su Bi's soft voice of "obedient" playing on repeat.

Alas, no wonder they say that the land of beauties is the grave of heroes. The ancients didn’t deceive me after all…
