Pei Yu came back to his senses and met Chen Li's somewhat dangerous eyes. His sharp intuition told him that Ah Li must have misunderstood his distraction just now.
He retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Ali, what do you think of my carving skills?"
"Well, it's okay!"
Looking at the bracelet on his wrist, he realized that this was what he was thinking about. But then again, he didn't know if Pei Yu had a white moonlight, a childhood sweetheart, or anything like that.
If there is, it will be troublesome, so it is better to ask clearly.
"Pei Yu, do you have a childhood sweetheart or a good friend?"
Pei Yu hadn't thought she would ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips. This was a sign that Ali cared about him.
"No, I have always kept my distance from women. Except you, of course."
While explaining, he also did not forget to express his feelings.
Chen Li was satisfied. Even if there was, she had not seen the two of them get along with each other in person yet. Apart from being more sober towards Pei Yu, nothing would happen.
Moreover, they grew up together as childhood sweethearts. If there really was something going on between them, it probably wouldn't be my turn.
But since he said no, I'll just believe him.
He took out a fruit from his arms and said, "Here, I've been growing this for a long time. I'm giving it to you as a reward."
This is really true. Ever since the Daohua Village Committee's house was built, Chen Li planted two spiritual fruit trees in his yard. Perhaps because of the soil and air, they have never borne fruit.
It wasn't until this year that a few fruits were produced, and they were not as big as those in the space. I ate one of the amber pears, which contained a faint spiritual energy, but it was better than nothing.
Pei Yu took it, wiped it clean carefully with a handkerchief, brought it to his mouth and took a bite. After eating it, he looked at Chenli with bright eyes. After eating this fruit, his abdomen felt hot and his internal strength increased a little bit.
Just this small fruit can actually increase internal strength. He had never thought that there was such a good thing.
"this……"
"I found this by chance in the mountains. After I moved it back, it didn't produce much fruit."
"That's a pity."
Pei Yu did not doubt what she said, but felt a little regretful.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the dock. The dock was bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of shouting and hawking were endless.
There is a large ship docked at the pier. The hull is brand new and the whole ship is quite luxurious. It stands at the pier and is very eye-catching.
Chen Li saw it as soon as he got off the carriage, and Pei Yu took him to the boat.
There were several boatmen, a dozen guards and several maids on the deck of the ship. When they saw the two people coming up, they all bowed their heads and greeted them.
The boat was very spacious, with two floors above the deck, and the decoration was exquisite and luxurious, not something Pei Yu would like.
"Where did you get this boat?"
Pei Yu took her hand and walked inside. There were too many people outside just now, and he was afraid that someone would recognize her, which would be bad for her reputation. Now everyone on the boat was his, so the news would not get out.
"You've been busy for so long, you should get some compensation, right?"
Chen Li understood that this was what he had obtained during the house search, but he had not handed it over.
"Is it okay for you to do this?"
Pei Yu shook his head. "I didn't come here for any errands. He arranged so many errands for me for no reason. He should at least give me some benefits, right?"
"Well, you got more than just this benefit, didn't you?"
"They are all well-deserved. Compared with what was sent to the capital, it is just a drop in the bucket."
Pei Yu took Chen Li's hand and looked at the ship. Then they went back to the deck. The ship had been away from the shore for a while. Because it was winter, there was still some fog on the river.
After sailing for a while, someone cast a net to catch fish, and there was someone fishing nearby. Chen Li felt itchy and Pei Yu asked someone to bring two fishing rods, and the two of them sat on the deck to fish.
As the breeze blew by, the hems of their clothes, one black and one red, intertwined, looking extremely harmonious.
Because we wanted to fish, the boat stopped and we waited for a long time before a fish bit our ears.
Chen Li slid around for a while, and when she ran out of energy after eating the fish, she finally pulled it up.
"Ayu, look, it's shad!"
Shad has always been known as a treasure from the waters of the south of the Yangtze River. It is very delicious. However, due to the development of industry in later generations, it has become extinct.
But it is different here. There is no pollution here, which is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of shad.
Seeing her happy, Pei Yu suggested, "A-Li, how about we have a competition, with a time limit of half an hour?"
Chen Li tilted her head to look at him: "What's the prize?"
"What do you want?"
"Well, I haven't thought of it yet."
Pei Yu suggested: "Then the loser will agree to one request from the winner."
"OK."
Chen Li had the fish in the bucket taken away. "To be fair, my fish won't count. Let's start now."
"good."
Although it was a competition, the two would chat from time to time. Pei Yu even took time out to make tea. He looked so relaxed that it didn't look like he was in a competition at all.
The two people's fishing rods would move from time to time. Half an hour later, Chen Li caught seven fish and Pei Yu caught ten fish.
"Ali, I win."
Chen Li was happy today, and waved her little hand, "Tell me, what do you want."
Pei Yu pulled her into the cabin. After being blown by the river breeze for half an hour, although they were not afraid of the cold, her hands had become cold.
"Just remember it first and talk about it later."
"OK."
Chen Li glanced at him sideways, feeling that he was up to no good.
After looking around, he didn't understand why he brought him here. "Your cabin looks like a banquet hall."
"That's right, Ali, do you want to see some singing and dancing?"
"Um?"
Pei Yu put down the orange in his hand and said seriously, "It was originally kept on this boat. I thought you might like to see it, so I didn't disperse it."
"Then let's take a look."
Pei Yu gave Tian Qing a look and he knew what was going on. He immediately went down to have someone prepare.
Not long after, a maid came in with fruits, cakes and other things.
Chen Li ate an orange. She wasn't very hungry, so she didn't eat anything else. Soon, a dancer in cool clothes came up.
She walked in wearing a red dance costume and twisting her waist slenderly.
She had a charming and graceful figure, with a faint smile on her face, but not flattering. Perhaps she knew that there was someone in the room, so she did not have an expression of seduction.
The musicians behind him also walked in, bowed, and found their respective seats.
Tianqing glanced at the two people sitting in the main seat, understood, and signaled them to start.
The wonderful music accompanied by the graceful dance moves made Chen Li watch with great interest. No wonder those dignitaries have the habit of keeping dancing girls!
This person is beautiful and dances well. It's a real visual feast!
Chen Li was amazed at what she saw, especially the beauty who was the lead dancer. She had a slender figure and a soft waist, and she twisted her body to the graceful music. Every scene seemed to be carefully carved and was very pleasing to the eye.
Tianqing looked up and was standing at the bottom. When he saw this scene, he was speechless for a moment. Was this the wrong way around?
