Chapter 328 The Temptation of Food
With a "bang".
The two boats gently collided.
The collision caused the boat to rock violently, startling Mao Mao, who quickly clung to her father. Lou Dashuai also immediately grabbed the sides of the boat to steady himself.
"Aaaaaah!"
"Third Brother!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to!"
"Ah Hong! How did you row that boat?!"
"I almost scared Mao Mao to death!"
When General Lou turned around, he saw his third son sitting on the boat that had crashed into him. Knowing he had caused trouble, Lou Hongjian was ashamed and bowed with his hands clasped together in all directions.
Lou Hongjian apologized repeatedly: "I didn't mean to, it was an accident! I heard Dad and Mao Mao talking, and it seemed like they mentioned me, so I wanted to hear what they were saying, but..."
As a result, he was so engrossed in eavesdropping that he lost control of the oar and accidentally bumped into his father and the others.
"elder brother!"
Mao Mao peeked out from her father's arms, looking at him with surprise and delight: "What are you doing here?"
"I...I came here to go boating, what a coincidence..." Under his father's murderous glare, Lou Hongjian gave him an awkward smile, his voice and figure gradually lowering: "...Haha, what a coincidence, I actually ran into you, Mao Mao..."
He couldn't continue making up the story.
Lou Hongjian manually shut himself up.
Commander Lou looked at him with a stern gaze, as well as Lou Yansui on his ship, and his eldest and second sons on the ship behind him.
"skillful?"
Commander Lou said in a deep voice, "What a coincidence, all four of you are here boating? When did you four find yourself in such a leisurely mood?"
His four sons gave him a forced laugh.
The four brothers have always had a good relationship, but there's no need to go boating to strengthen their bond.
Is that a coincidence?
Of course it's not a coincidence?
They might have been following behind me since I left home.
“We’re doing this for Mao Mao’s sake.” Lou Fengju tossed the oar to his younger brother: “I’m afraid that you, Nie Zhengyun and Shen Zhaolin will fight in front of Mao Mao. That would not only embarrass you, but also scare Mao Mao.”
Lou Dashuai let out a cold snort: "I'm not that stupid."
Fighting with those two?
Even if we win, we won't get anything good out of it.
That bastard surnamed Nie might be planning some kind of self-inflicted injury ruse to gain Mao Mao's sympathy.
He wouldn't give the enemy such a good opportunity!
"Get lost, all of you."
Lou Dashuai waved his hand dismissively at his sons: "Mao Mao and I are going out to play today, so none of you are allowed to disturb us."
The four sons shrugged and obediently started rowing in the opposite direction.
Because Lou Hongjian had just been in a traffic accident, Lou Yansui switched places with him and took over the task of rowing the boat.
Lou Hongjian leaned against the edge of the boat, his peach blossom eyes smiling, and waved to Mao Mao: "Mao Mao, do you want to come play with your brother? I borrowed a drawing board from the students sketching on the shore to draw for you... I don't want to draw anymore, Dad."
Under the glare of Commander Lou, he obediently sat back down in the small boat.
Lou Heming reminded, "Dad, Mr. Nie and Mr. Shen are catching up soon."
Commander Lou ordered, "Go and stop them, don't let them come any closer."
The four brothers exchanged glances again.
Then they rowed together, moving in unison in opposite directions.
Stop me? No way.
Dad monopolized Mao Mao and wouldn't let them get close. They wouldn't help Dad; let him worry about it all by himself.
Commander Lou: "..."
Lou Dashuai glared at his four sons' receding figures as they rowed further and further away, looking rather annoyed.
Four unlucky kids!
Not nearly as thoughtful as Mao Mao.
Sitting in his lap, Mao Mao's eyes lit up, and she waved her little hand excitedly towards the distance: "Uncle! You're here~"
Commander Lou: "..."
Lou Dashuai turned his head and glared at the two people who had caught up with him.
Nie Zhengyun and Shen Zhaolin sat on the boat. After getting close, they released their oars and let the waves push the two small boats together.
The wind was strong on the lake. As they arrived, Mao Mao suddenly tilted her head back and sniffed around in the air, like a puppy smelling a bone.
"Uncle, there's something delicious!"
"Miss Mao is so clever." Nie Zhengyun took out a bag of still warm roasted chestnuts from his pocket.
The wind blew towards Mao Mao, carrying with it the sweet aroma of chestnuts, which went straight into her little nose.
Mao Mao inhaled deeply, and smelled not only roasted chestnuts, but also roasted meat patties, osmanthus cake, and steamed rice balls...
Nie Zhengyun took them out one by one in front of her.
Then he looked at Mao Mao, and then at the distance between the two boats, and said regretfully, "Although I bought a lot of delicious food, Miss Mao Mao can't eat it. What a pity."
To have delicious food laid out in front of you, yet be unable to eat it, is the cruelest form of torture!
Moreover, more than half a day has passed since lunchtime, and Mao Mao's lunch has already been digested during the previous activities, leaving her stomach empty again.
These are exactly the foods we need to fill up!
There are many food stalls in the park, but on this lake, these are the only ones available.
She was fine when she didn't see it, but once she did, she couldn't take her eyes off the delicious food.
Seeing that her attention had been drawn, Nie Zhengyun slowly added, "However, if Miss Mao Mao comes to our ship, these foods can be given to her."
Upon hearing this, Mao Mao hurriedly tried to break free from her father's arms: "Uncle, Mao Mao is going!"
Lou Dashuai quickly supported her small body.
"Mao Mao, be careful."
besides.
Didn't you just say you only want one dad and want to be with him for life?!
