Everyone finished their meal in this somewhat somber atmosphere.
Qin Xiaoxuan put down her chopsticks and got up to leave.
Wang Fan quickly said, "Xiaoxuan, I'll go back to your room with you."
Qin Xiaoxuan nodded gently.
Neither of them spoke the rest of the way.
Upon entering the room, Qin Xiaoxuan sat on the edge of the bed, remaining silent.
Wang Fan looked at her and couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoxuan, is there something you're hiding from me?"
Qin Xiaoxuan raised her head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Wang Fan sat down next to her, took her hand, and said gently.
"Xiaoxuan, you can tell me anything."
Qin Xiaoxuan bit her lip and finally said, "Wang Fan, I know I shouldn't be so petty, but I just can't control myself. I'm afraid that Hua Nianci's appearance will affect our relationship."
Wang Fan embraced her and comforted her, "Xiaoxuan, don't worry, no one can change our feelings."
Qin Xiaoxuan leaned against Wang Fan's chest, her mood calming down a bit.
Suddenly, Qin Xiaoxuan's hands started moving erratically. Wang Fan was taken aback and asked, "Xiaoxuan, what are you doing?"
Qin Xiaoxuan said coquettishly, "Hmph, let's see if you dare to make me uneasy again." As she spoke, she gently pinched Wang Fan's waist.
Seeing this, Wang Fan seemed to understand something.
……………Two hours later.
Seeing Qin Xiaoxuan calm down, Wang Fan rubbed her head.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Qin Xiaoxuan blushed and muttered softly, "Hmph, barely satisfactory."
Unbeknownst to them, Xiao Meng and Hua Nianci had just passed by and overheard their commotion.
Xiao Meng said, "Neither of them seems shy, doing this in broad daylight."
Hua Nianci remained silent in embarrassment, only quickening her pace as she walked forward.
Her heart was filled with complex emotions at that moment. On one hand, she felt a little envious of the relationship between Qin Xiaoxuan and Wang Fan.
On the other hand, I also thought about how amazing Wang Fan was in this area.
Thinking of this, a blush rose on her face, and she secretly regretted having such thoughts.
"Hua Nianci! Hua Nianci! What are you thinking about all day long?!"
She quickly shook her head, trying to shake these distracting thoughts out of her mind.
Just then, Xiaomeng caught up from behind, panting, and said, "Sister Hua, wait for me!"
Hua Nianci took a deep breath, composed herself, and turned to look at Xiao Meng.
Xiao Meng asked curiously, "Sister Hua! What's wrong? Why are you walking so fast?"
Hua Nianci smiled gently and said, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something else."
Xiao Meng blinked, looking disbelieving: "Sister Hua, don't lie to me. I know you have something on your mind. Is it because of Brother Wang Fan and Sister Xiao Xuan?"
Hua Nianci was slightly taken aback, then shook her head: "Don't make wild guesses, what do children know?"
Xiao Meng pouted: "I'm not a child! Sister Hua, you're so pretty and you can cook, Brother Wang Fan will definitely like you!"
Hua Nianci's face flushed instantly, and she quickly said, "Xiaomeng, don't talk nonsense. Wang Fan is already with Xiaoxuan."
Xiao Meng, unconvinced, advised, "Sister Hua, this isn't the world of the past anymore. There aren't so many rules now. If you like something, you should go for it. If you keep backing down, you'll only miss out on opportunities."
Hua Nianci outwardly concealed her emotions, smiling as she said to Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, don't talk nonsense. You can't do these things carelessly."
But deep down, she couldn't help wondering if Wang Fan would accept her feelings. And if she really tried to win him over, how would Qin Xiaoxuan view her?
Would she think of herself as a bad woman? Hua Nianci was caught in a dilemma and struggle.
Xiao Meng noticed her hesitation, her eyes darting around, and said, "Sister Hua, let's not think about these worries anymore. How about we go fishing?"
Hua Nianci paused for a moment, then nodded: "Alright, relax."
Upon reaching the deck, Hua Nianci, holding a fishing rod, appeared somewhat at a loss.
No wonder he's living such a miserable life; he doesn't even know how to fish.
Seeing this, Xiaomeng smiled and said, "Sister Hua, let me teach you. First, put the bait on the hook, and then cast the line out like this."
Hua Nianci did as Xiao Meng instructed, but her movements were still somewhat clumsy.
Looking at Xiaomeng's skillful movements, Hua Nianci couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaomeng, you're so good, who taught you?"
Xiao Meng beamed with pride and said, "It was Brother Wang Fan who taught me. Before you came, he often took us fishing."
When Hua Nianci heard Wang Fan's name, her heart trembled slightly, and her thoughts drifted back to Wang Fan.
She secretly asked Xiaomeng, "Xiaomeng, tell me, what kind of person is Wang Fan?"
Xiao Meng's eyes lit up as she spoke excitedly.
"Sister Hua, Brother Wang Fan is amazing! Once I encountered a tornado and was almost swept into the air, but Brother Wang Fan risked his life to save me."
"And then there's Sister Qin Xiaoxuan. She encountered a shark in the sea, and it was Brother Wang Fan who stepped forward and saved her."
Hua Nianci listened intently, her admiration for Wang Fan growing even stronger.
Just then, the fishing rod in Hua Nianci's hand suddenly sank, and she exclaimed, "Oh dear, it feels so heavy!"
Xiao Meng excitedly shouted, "Sister Hua, it must be a big one, hurry up and reel it in!"
Hua Nianci gritted her teeth and used all her strength to reel in the line. After a fierce struggle, finally, a huge fish leaped out of the water.
"Wow, what a big fish!" Xiaomeng clapped her hands excitedly.
Just then, Wang Fan and Qin Xiaoxuan came out and saw what was happening. Wang Fan smiled and praised, "Hua Nianci, Xiaomeng, you two look like you've had a good haul!"
Qin Xiaoxuan chimed in, "Caught such a big fish, looks like we'll have an extra meal tonight!"
Hua Nianci smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It was just good luck."
Xiao Meng proudly raised her head: "Of course, Sister Hua and I work together perfectly!"
Wang Fan joked, "Xiao Meng, you're so amazing, you're going to be incredible in the future."
Xiao Meng chuckled and secretly whispered in Wang Fan's ear, "Brother, did you and Sister Xiaoxuan do something naughty just now?"
Wang Fan was taken aback and gently tapped Xiao Meng's head: "Don't make wild guesses, little kid."
Xiao Meng persisted, saying, "Brother Wang Fan, I really want to help you. I just tested Sister Hua Nianci's feelings, and she actually has feelings for you too. Just take the initiative!"
Wang Fan's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be nonchalant: "Xiao Meng, don't mess around."
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxuan walked over and asked in confusion, "What are you whispering about?"
Xiao Meng quickly waved her hand: "It's nothing, Sister Xiaoxuan."
Qin Xiaoxuan looked at them with some skepticism, when Xiaomeng suggested, "Since everyone's here, why don't we go fishing together?"
Everyone readily agreed and joined the fishing group. The deck was soon filled with laughter and cheerful chatter.
