Along the way, Chen Shuyi saw girls in brightly colored silk gauze skirts walking through the woods, with pleasant laughter coming one after another.
Several young women also looked over there.
Shen Shuyi glanced at the man behind him, presumably looking at Zhou Qian.
Although Zhou Qian is a military general, he is extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, and a tall figure. Standing next to him makes one feel very safe.
Just as she was lost in thought, the system reminded her.
[Host, Zhou Xuanmin went to rent a houseboat. He planned to have a private meeting with Chu Huiji in the houseboat on the lake. ]
"66, please lead the way for me. I want to catch an adulterer."
Shen Shuyi looked at the moving red dot, raised his hand and pointed at it from a distance, "Big cousin! Do you think that's my second cousin?"
Zhou Xuanmin has outstanding looks and is tall, making him very conspicuous in the crowd.
Zhou Qian looked in the direction he was looking and saw his second brother walking hurriedly towards the lake.
"Maybe they rented a pleasure boat. Didn't we say we were going to enjoy the scenery on the lake before we came?"
Shen Shuyi clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her eyes pleaded, "Then let's go over there?"
"Well, no hurry, just walk slowly." Zhou Qian's eyes swept across her face with slightly sweaty temples. Her face was snow-white and weak, as if she would faint from exhaustion at any time.
Shen Shuyi blinked at him, "I can do it! I've already taken the medicine before coming here."
"Cousin Yan Zhao, let's go!"
Zhou Qian looked at the little girl walking quickly in front of him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
When did this little cousin become so close to him?
In the past, this little cousin was the most afraid of him. Even when she occasionally met him, she would turn around and run away, for she was afraid of the evil spirit around him.
This trip to Luoyang seems to have brought some changes.
Maybe he has grown up?
Shen Shuyi didn't know what Zhou Qian was thinking, she just wanted to meet Zhou Xuanmin as soon as possible.
When the two chased to the lake, they saw Zhou Xuanmin hurriedly renting a pleasure boat and boarding the boat, accompanied by a young man in brocade clothes.
He carefully helped a young man with rosy lips and white teeth onto the boat, and both of them felt that something was wrong with this scene.
Zhou Qian frowned slightly.
Shen Shuyi quickly said to Zhou Qian: "I think my second cousin has met a fellow student. Let's go over and take a look. Cousin Lao Yanzhao has rented a pleasure boat."
Zhou Qian didn't say anything, he just went to rent a boat, and the boatman put up a wooden board for people to get on.
Shen Shuyi glanced at the wooden board and the boat that was shaking from time to time. She slightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked at Zhou Qian for help.
"Cousin, walk slowly, be careful not to fall into the water..."
How could Zhou Qian not see her fear? He politely replied, "Cousin, be careful too. You go first, I'll watch from behind."
Shen Shuyi walked very carefully, but unexpectedly the pleasure boat shook, and she lost her balance and fell backwards.
Zhou Qian, who was walking behind, subconsciously reached out his hand to support the man. Shen Shuyi fell into his arms and smelled the faint, clean soapy scent on the man.
The man's chest was broad and hot. Shen Shuyi was frightened by the shaking of the boat, and now his heart was pounding.
Zhou Qian held her shoulders, helped her stand steadily and led her into the pleasure boat, "Be careful."
His voice was low and mellow, and he took care of her like an elder.
Shen Shuyi quickly stood a distance away and lowered his head, “Thank you, cousin.”
Zhou Qian felt that she was too delicate.
He turned around and told the boatman, "Catch up with the largest boat in front."
Shen Shuyi walked out on the deck, staring at the ship where Zhou Xuanmin was from afar, and murmured.
"Didn't my second cousin say he was going to pick peach blossoms for me... Why did he come to the lake to cruise without saying anything?"
Zhou Qian didn't say anything. He didn't know his second brother very well. In the past, he almost always lived in the military camp, and his second brother was either studying or out partying with other students.
He glanced at his little cousin in front of him, whose face was as rosy as a beautiful peach blossom. Zhou Qian quickly looked away and replied casually.
"We'll know once we connect with his boat."
The pleasure boat gradually approached, and Shen Shuyi could actually hear the voice coming from the pleasure boat where Zhou Xuanmin was.
Zhou Qian had practiced martial arts since he was young, and his ears were very sensitive. He could even distinguish that one of the two voices was a delicate female voice.
He subconsciously looked at Shen Shuyi.
But Chen Shuyi was staring blankly at the pleasure boat in front.
Suddenly, the tall Zhou Xuanmin came out with a woman with red lips and white teeth wearing men's clothes, and the two of them admired the beautiful scenery of the lake side by side.
"Brother Xuanmin, can't you stay with me for a while today? I just managed to get out of the palace."
When this delicate voice reached her ears, Shen Shuyi quickly hid behind Zhou Qian. She raised her hand and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Zhou Qian saw his second brother not far away. He saw that his second brother was holding a girl dressed as a teenager in his arms. He felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Their grandparents taught them very strictly, and they would never do such a treacherous thing.
Suddenly, the cousin behind him grabbed the corner of his clothes and put her head on his back.
Zhou Qian's whole body was stiff, and a weak voice came from behind him.
"Cousin, I feel a little dizzy. Can you let me lean on you for a while?"
The muffled sound continued.
"I, I don't want them to see... That woman seems to be a noble from the palace, I'm afraid..."
Zhou Qian's chest heaved, but he quickly calmed down and said, "Go in."
"No... I want to listen again, just in case... just in case I misunderstood my second cousin... I'm still engaged to him..."
"Big cousin, your back is very broad, help me block it, and turn around, otherwise the second cousin will recognize you."
Veins bulged on Zhou Qian's forehead, but he still turned around, and the little girl on his back fell into his arms.
He subconsciously stepped back, but the little girl in his arms held on to his clothes tightly and refused to let go.
"Please." Shen Shuyi raised her head and looked at Zhou Qian with tearful eyes.
"Don't move, cousin. They can't find us."
Zhou Qian raised his hand and pinched his brow, "Let go first."
Shen Shuyi clung to Zhou Qian as if she was about to fall, and realized belatedly that their posture was wrong. Her ears were burning, but she didn't dare to let go. She only poked her little head out from his broad chest and looked straight at the cruise ship opposite.
Zhou Qian saw her like this from the corner of his eye. She tilted her head, and her thin spring clothes revealed a large area of her slender, snow-white neck.
He shifted his gaze somewhat unnaturally and looked deliberately at the large peach forest behind the lake.
I also felt that the girl in my arms was more beautiful than the bright peach blossoms.
When Shen Shuyi saw the man and woman holding hands and snuggling together on the boat not far away, a hint of cruel hatred flashed in her eyes.
She subconsciously raised her hand to cover her heart, feeling her heartbeat and breathing were about to stop.
All I could think about was the suffocating feeling of the original owner drowning.
Zhou Xuanmin, Chu Huiji!
Tears flowed down her face drop by drop. Shen Shuyi was heartbroken and tired from the journey. Her body couldn't bear it anymore and her legs softened, and she fell into Zhou Qian's arms.
"Cousin!" Zhou Qian hurriedly stopped her, and when he picked her up, he saw Shen Shuyi fainted with tears on her face.
He didn't care about the difference between men and women and picked the man up by the waist and walked into the pleasure boat, and asked the boatman to dock quickly.
