morning.
When the sky brightens and the sunlight gradually becomes warm.
With the sun shining warmly and the lake breeze gentle, Chu Qinghe lay on two benches pushed together, basking in the sun.
As for Hua Hua, she sat on Chu Qinghe's belly and gnawed on a bamboo. After finishing the bamboo in her hand, she remembered to gently sweep away the remaining bamboo in Chu Qinghe's arms with her fluffy little hands, and then slowly jumped off Chu Qinghe to the side. Only after choosing a bamboo with a stronger bamboo fragrance would she jump back onto Chu Qinghe's body and continue to gnaw on the bamboo.
The occasional "smacking" sounds of chewing bamboo made one want to try it and see if the bamboo was really that delicious.
And on the roof of that cabin.
The girls were sitting around a carpet playing Werewolf, with fruits and tea placed around them.
The game Werewolf is quite strange. Whenever someone is eliminated first with the Seer card, they always feel a sense of intellectual superiority and that their teammates are too bad to carry them.
Just like Wang Yuyan at this moment, as Wang Yuyan, who was the prophet, was the first to be eliminated, her expression became somewhat strange.
When his gaze swept over the Jellyfish Yin Ji and the other women, his expression was somewhat subtle.
A few breaths later, Wang Yuyan placed the cards face down on the blanket. She first looked at the distant landscape, then turned her head to look at Chu Qinghe lying on the roof of the cabin, and finally looked at the Jellyfish Yin Ji and the other women who were deep in thought and guessing each other's identities.
Especially when her gaze fell on Qu Feiyan and the other two women, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but look bewildered.
From yesterday to today, Wang Yuyan is almost certain of the identities of the three maids, Qu Feiyan, Xiao Zhao, and Lin Shiyin.
However, as a maid, Wang Yuyan found that the three women did not have the cautiousness and timidity of the maids and servants of Mantuo Manor.
Instead, his demeanor was full of casualness and confidence.
Even her temperament and manners were unmatched by the maids of Mantuo Manor.
Thinking about it, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but look at Chu Qinghe on the top of the cabin again.
Often, people have a herd mentality.
Just like a shop with a long queue outside, other people will also become curious about the shop.
The same applies when facing people. On Wang Yuyan's side, Chu Qinghe also exudes curiosity, making people want to know why he can attract the Water Mother Yin Ji and Lian Xing and other girls to stay by his side.
A short while later, as noon approached, Qu Feiyan and her two friends, having finished another game, headed towards the kitchen.
After glancing at Shuimu Yinji and Lianxing, who were walking towards Chu Qinghe one after another, Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and followed Xiao Zhao and the other girls into the kitchen.
When Qu Feiyan saw Wang Yuyan follow her into the kitchen, she asked with slight confusion, "Miss Wang, why did you come in?"
Wang Yuyan smiled gently and said softly, "I had nothing to do, so I thought I'd see if there's anything I could do to help."
Despite these words, during her more than ten years at Mantuo Manor, Wang Yuyan was like a caged canary, never even entering the kitchen, let alone helping out.
Therefore, after making things worse by trying to help, Wang Yuyan could only give up and stand aside.
Looking at the girls working together to cook, Wang Yuyan felt a mix of emotions.
"This year, I read some storybooks where lovers would cook for each other. I even thought that one day I would be like my cousin, but I never expected that my cousin..."
As she finished speaking, a hint of sorrow crept into Wang Yuyan's expression.
Seeing Wang Yuyan like this, Lin Shiyin pondered for a moment before speaking, "Miss Wang, have you never left Mantuo Manor before?"
Hearing what Lin Shiyin said, Wang Yuyan nodded gently in acknowledgment.
"Human hearts are treacherous, the martial world is dangerous, and Yu Yan herself has the Seven Yin Profound Meridians, so my mother has never let me leave Mantuo Manor."
After a few moments of contemplation, Lin Shiyin asked, "Has Miss Wang considered that she may not truly love Murong Fu?"
Wang Yuyan looked at Lin Shiyin in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by that, Sister Lin?"
Hearing what Wang Yuyan said, Lin Shiyin smiled and said, "Since Miss Wang has never left Mantuo Manor, she naturally hasn't had much contact with outsiders. How can she tell whether someone truly likes another person?"
Wang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, "Sister Lin, my mother has often said the same thing to me. In the past, she said that I didn't understand love between men and women. But my cousin and I grew up together, so isn't it natural for me to fall in love with him?"
Seeing Wang Yuyan's unreserved expression of her innermost thoughts, Qu Feiyan sighed inwardly.
"Well, they really are stupid enough to be sold out and still pay the money back."
Seeing that Wang Yuyan still didn't understand, Lin Shiyin said, "Feelings themselves are divided into kinship, sibling affection, brotherly friendship, and romantic love. Since Miss Wang thinks that her feelings for Murong Fu are romantic, does Miss Wang understand what romantic love is?"
Wang Yuyan opened her mouth as if to respond.
But when she tried to speak, Wang Yuyan felt her mind go blank. She wanted to respond, but she couldn't find the words.
For a moment, a look of confusion appeared on Wang Yuyan's face.
Seeing Wang Yuyan's expression, Lin Shiyin understood everything.
A few moments later, Wang Yuyan looked at Lin Shiyin and asked, "May I ask, Sister Lin, what is the affection between brother and sister?"
Hearing Wang Yuyan's question, Xiao Zhao said, "I remember, according to what you said, the feelings between men and women are very peculiar. It can be the heart-fluttering feeling of the first meeting, or the long-lasting affection of spending the rest of one's life together. It can also be like brilliant fireworks illuminating the heart and being unforgettable for a long time, or it can be the weariness of satisfaction and happiness after dawn."
