Chen Chang was a man after all, and his face turned red when he heard that. The woman scolded him, "Xingchen, stop talking nonsense. Hold him tight and don't let him fall!"

The young man stuck out his tongue and said unconvincedly, "That's right. He does miss my little wife, but what kind of man is he if he can't even protect his own wife and instead wants his wife to protect him? I..."

Although Chen Chang blushed, he would not get angry at such a child.

Besides, what they said is right. If you can’t even protect your own woman, what kind of man are you?

Chen Chang could accept the criticism humbly, but the girl couldn't stand it anymore. Her brother was really unreasonable at times. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Is this the end yet? There are more than 30 people on this ship, and you talk the most!"

Then he said to Chen Chang: "Mr. Yang, the child is ignorant, don't bother with him."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Two servants wanted to help Chen Chang, but were pushed away by the young man, who was very stubborn.

"Ah! My dear!" When Shui Ling'er saw Chen Chang pushing the door open, she was surprised and happy, and she almost threw herself into his arms passionately.

When he saw the brother and sister behind the door, he stopped in his tracks, looking extremely embarrassed. He blushed and bowed to the woman, saying, "Miss!"

The woman smiled slightly, stepped aside, and refused to accept her bow, saying, "No need. The road is in chaos now, with thieves aplenty. You and your wife are in trouble. How can we stand by and watch you perish?"

Chen Chang saw that Shui Ling'er's hair was wet, so she must have just tied it up. She had changed her clothes and was now wearing a red embroidered cuff with eight pleats, a purple silk skirt, a silk shawl draped over her shoulders, and dusty and fragrant shoes on her feet.

The eyes are like a pool of autumn water, and the eyebrows are like the eight characters of spring mountains. The face is not greasy but peach blossoms are flying, and the waist is not bent but willows are dancing. The cloud-like bun is good, and the fragrance of flowers in the temples is set off; the face is charming like a falling goose, and the wind and charm are cast down for half a day.

Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and the fragrance was pleasant; her skirts dragged lightly, and the bells tinkled melodiously. She lowered her pink neck, and was shy and graceful; she opened her red lips, and her voice was charming.

If it weren't for the descent of the Luoshui Fairy, it must have been the return of the Wushan Goddess.

Not only Chen Chang, but also the girl and the boy were stunned. The boy smiled and said, "You look really good in my sister's clothes!"

After hearing this, Shui Ling'er lowered her head, and a blush covered her cheeks again, making her look shy and innocent.

Chen Chang had always seen Shui Ling'er wearing rough clothes, but he had never expected that once she dressed up a little, her temperament would be completely different from before.

She is naturally beautiful, and what she said is true.

The girl also secretly praised in her heart that the dress Shui Ling'er was wearing was just made this year and she had only worn it once.

The same clothes worn by different women have different charms and temperaments. At least Shui Ling'er's ethereal and elegant temperament surpasses hers.

Chen Chang was staring at Shui Ling'er in a daze when the young man gently jerked his ribs. He only heard him say, "Hey, your wife is so beautiful!"

Chen Chang naturally felt very proud after hearing this, and just as he stood up straight and was about to be humble, the young man shook his head and said something that was extremely embarrassing.

"It's a pity that I married someone like you, tsk tsk ..."

If it was just the two of them here, they would have just said it, but now that he was saying it in front of Shui Ling'er and his sister, Chen Chang felt like he was slapped in the face. This little guy has such a bad mouth and is so mean.

Shui Ling'er couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this, but then she remembered that she had been mistaken for Chen Chang's wife, and a hint of joy inadvertently surfaced between her brows.

Seeing her brother being so unrestrained again and again, the girl couldn't help but kick him lightly on the butt and said angrily, "Go check on the goods we bought. You keep saying you want to be the boss, but it's time for you to do something serious."

The young man turned his head away and said angrily, "I'm not going. I'll just sit here."

It is said that he was kneeling down a few days after he was arrested. He had a stern face and seemed to be really angry.

Naturally, the woman apologized to Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er again.

Chen Chang naturally didn't want to argue with the child, so he coughed twice in embarrassment and said something that showed his magnanimity.

The woman said, "I heard from the water girl that you are going to Jiangling. Please go with us. We will go ashore after daybreak. If you don't mind, you can go into the city with us."

Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er were both delighted after hearing this. Given Chen Chang's physical condition, he might not be able to reach Jiangling in a day. If he encountered bandits on the way, he might not be so lucky again. The two immediately agreed to go together and thanked him repeatedly.

The three of them chatted for a while. The woman refused to reveal her name and Chen Chang didn't dare to ask any more. But she was his and Shui Ling'er's savior after all, so he should be grateful for her kindness.

Chen Chang secretly made up his mind that if he had the chance in the future, he would secretly look up the name of his savior so that he could choose a chance to repay him in the future.

This woman must be from a wealthy family, so it shouldn't be hard to find out about her.

Since both parties had something to hide, they exchanged a few pleasantries and then Chen Chang took Shui Ling'er back to the original cabin.

The cabin where Shui Ling'er was located belonged to that young lady, so naturally she couldn't occupy the magpie's nest.

The big dog Huniu was lying lazily at the door of the cabin. When he saw Chen Chang, he started to yell at him. Chen Chang was so scared that he quickly stepped back. The beast probably still remembered what happened just now and regarded him as his enemy, so he was hostile to him.

When Shui Ling'er saw such a big dog, she was also frightened. Hu Niu also noticed Shui Ling'er, rolled over and ran over here.

Chen Chang was frightened and his face turned pale. He hurriedly protected Shui Ling'er. Just as he was thinking about how to fight the stupid beast desperately, the voice of the young man rang out from behind him: "Don't be afraid, Hu Niu doesn't bite!"

It happened so fast that Huniu had already jumped to the side of the two of them. With a shake of her huge body, she pushed Chen Chang to the side, and then she pressed close to Shui Ling'er's thigh, looking very intimate.

The young man clapped his hands and laughed, "It seems that Huniu likes Sister Ling'er very much!"

Shui Ling'er was originally so frightened that her heart was pounding, but when she saw that the big dog was really trying to please her, she calmed down and courageously touched the huge furry dog's head.

After being touched by her, Hu Niu became more docile, and her thick and long tail began to wag.

Unfortunately, Mr. Chen was hit on the thigh by the whip-like tail, and he couldn't help but groan in pain.

Chen Chang said, damn, this dead dog is obviously a pervert!

Shui Ling'er seemed to see Chen Chang's hidden anger, and said with a smile that could not be concealed: "Tiger Girl is really well behaved, much better than the dead dog I saw before?"

The young man didn't understand what she meant, so he asked in confusion, "Sister Ling'er, where did you see the dead dog?"

Chen Chang was so angry at the two men, one naughty and the other cute, that he almost got hurt. He gritted his teeth and said, "You stupid dog, you stupid dog, I'm standing right in front of you, can't you see me?"

Not long after, the boy was dragged away by his sister by the ear.

Only Chen Chang and Shui Ling'er were left in the cabin.

Shui Ling'er helped Chen Chang back to the couch.

Although he was covered in wounds and exhausted, he survived the disaster. The big ship was swaying gently in the water, and there was a beautiful woman by his side. Chen Chang's mood suddenly improved.

After a brief silence, Shui Ling'er gently lay down on the couch, staring at Chen Chang with her two big black eyes.

"Ling'er, you want to lie down on it too?"

Shui Ling'er was stunned, her pretty face flushed. Although they were both close at hand, there was an essential difference between lying on him and lying beside the couch now.

Chen Chang said calmly: "I'm already in this state, can I still do anything to you?"

Shui Ling'er chuckled, and her two semicircular eyelids gently covered her expressive eyes, making her look even more charming.

Still lying obediently on the edge of the bed.

Chen Chang knew that she was shy and didn't force her.

"Young Master!"

There was only one cry, and nothing more happened.

Chen Chang originally had nothing to say, but couldn't wait for the next words. His thoughts, which were as calm as water just now, were actually made a little upset by her.

Just as I was about to speak, Shui Ling'er interrupted again, "Do you really want me to sleep next to you?"

Chen Chang was stunned. "What did you say?"

Shui Ling'er asked angrily, "You clearly heard it, why are you pretending to be stupid?"

Chen Chang was embarrassed: "That's not what I meant. If you're forcing me, forget it."

Shui Ling'er pouted, seeming a little unhappy, "What do you mean by reluctant? I just want to know your true thoughts."

Chen sings in silence, it takes ten years to be able to travel on the same boat, and a hundred years to be able to sleep on the same pillow.

In this situation, I'm afraid this statement is true.

Shui Ling'er spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito, as if speaking to herself, "I have never been so close to any man. If the young master behaves well, I would... I would..."

Her head is lowered, her face is rosy, and she is infinitely shy.

Chen Chang thought about it and realized that it was true. How could he let his daughter handle such a thing by herself? He moved his body inwards and left the outside space for Shui Ling'er.

Shui Ling'er hesitated for a moment, then climbed onto the couch quietly, with her back to Chen Chang, her delicate body curled up on the edge of the couch like a kitten.

It seemed that she deliberately moved to the outside in order to keep a distance from Chen Chang.

The wooden couch in the cabin was not very wide, so the two of them could lean against the sides, leaving a large space in the middle. Chen Chang's back was pressed tightly against the cabin.

Chen Chang thought it was funny: "If you move a little you will fall down, but if I move a little more I will break out of the cabin!"

With this joke, the awkward atmosphere eased.

Shui Ling'er pursed her lips, wanting to laugh, but she was extremely nervous inside.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never had this kind of jumping feeling.

Looking back, the previous days really seemed like a distant past. I actually slept with a boy whom I had just met not long ago.

Although she knew that Chen Chang would be polite and nothing romantic would happen between them, the sweet and itchy feeling in her heart could not be faked.

Tension and anxiety are inevitable, and there is also a bit of natural shyness in girls.

Chen Chang behind her moved for some reason, and the wooden couch creaked, making Shui Ling'er's whole body tense.

Shui Ling'er clenched her fists tightly, as if she was cast under a spell...
