Chapter 183: Boating on the Lake
What was originally a good family dinner turned into such a thing.
Bai Feng and Miss Yi Han left the palace in a hurry and didn't even have time to go boating on the lake and enjoy the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The full moon is as cold as water, and the moonlight is hazy like gauze.
Near the pavilion in the center of the lake, a small boat was floating. In the distance, the graceful figures of a man and a beautiful woman could be seen sitting and standing facing each other.
Xin Hongying sat in a small boat, drinking facing the moon.
Shen Tingyu looked at his lonely figure, sipping wine one sip after another, and snatched a bottle of wine from Xin Hongying's hand, "What happened?"
"You said you would take me to the lake to enjoy the moon, but now you're drinking alone."
Xin Hongying was caught off guard and the wine jug in her hand was snatched away by her.
"That's my wine..."
Shen Tingyu said slowly: “It’s mine now, what happened?”
He stretched his hand in the air, pressed it over his strong brow, rubbed his temples, and spoke slowly, his voice as clear and cold as the moon.
"Today, I no longer have any relatives."
When she suddenly heard Xin Hongying mention her relatives, she suddenly realized.
My memories and perceptions of the modern world gradually became shrouded in mist.
She could no longer remember her parents' faces, nor did she miss them. Her emotions were as cold and indifferent as if they were strangers.
In addition, the grandmother who raised her can also make her heart surge with longing.
Her grandmother passed away long before she went to college.
If there is reincarnation, I would have already embarked on the path of reincarnation by now.
"I don't have any family anymore."
Speaking of his family, Shen Tingyu felt depressed, picked up the wine jug in his hand, raised his head and drank it heroically.
Xin Hongying was surprised and quickly raised her hand to stop him.
"Wait, you...can't drink."
Shen Tingyu frowned and stopped his attempt to stop him with his other hand.
The wine flowed down from her red lips, revealing the graceful curve of her neck. Under the rippling moonlight, she looked so elegant and attractive.
The two men struggled so violently that the boat on the lake swayed slightly and almost capsized.
Xin Hongying could only stop what he was doing.
His gaze shifted from her face to her red, plump and moist lips.
Wiping the back of his hand across his wine-stained lips, Shen Tingyu said unhappily, “Why can’t I drink!”
Xin Hongying raised his eyebrows slightly. He had not forgotten how she fell down after just one glass of wine. He chuckled helplessly.
"You'll get drunk."
The body created by the system transformation pill will get drunk as soon as it touches alcohol, which makes no sense at all.
As the two of them talked, Shen Tingyu was already slightly drunk.
She stretched out two fingers and pinched his lips.
"Don't laugh at me... I'm not drunk, I can't get drunk!"
Xin Hongying's mouth was suddenly clamped, and she opened her eyes wide, helplessly revealing a hint of doting, looking at her with a smile.
As expected, as long as I am with her, I am always in a good mood.
Shen Tingyu raised his hand and took another sip of wine.
Smiling, she leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'm quietly, quietly...telling you a secret!"
Xin Hongying's mouth was still clamped shut, and he was lying in a strange position on the narrow boat.
Her words aroused a strong curiosity in me.
What secret?
Shen Tingyu was drunk, with the aroma of wine on his lips. As he spoke, his lips seemed to bite his ear and kiss him.
"The secret is... do you want to know?"
Her voice was soft, drawn out, and punctuated by a chuckle.
Xin Hongying's curiosity was completely aroused. She wanted to take her fingers away and urged her to stop keeping her in suspense and speak quickly.
He nodded.
Shen Tingyu leaned over slightly, supported herself on the boat with her backhand, and looked down at him with hazy and blurred eyes, which were extremely affectionate.
Although she knew she was drunk, Xin Hongying's heart was still beating fast.
Shen Tingyu opened her red lips slightly, and the laughter in her ears was wanton and ostentatious.
"My secret, of course, is that I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!"
Xin Hongying was stunned. She had looked extremely serious when she spoke just now, and he was actually fooled by her.
He shook his head and laughed, thinking: "Isn't this just drunkenness..."
Shen Tingyu lay on top of him and whispered softly, “Let me ask you, do you want a real family?”
Xin Hongying was stunned, her smile fell, and her eyes darkened.
Her words stung him.
This is indeed what he desires most in his heart. However, being in the royal family, the family affection he desires is exactly the hardest thing to obtain, even harder than gold falling from the sky.
Once you get close, you will pay the price of blood and be stabbed to death in pain.
"I'll tell you another secret quietly..." Shen Tingyu continued to whisper in his ear mysteriously.
She was just a drunkard, talking a lot of drunken words, but Xin Hongying was no longer fooled. Seeing her eyes full of expectation, like a cat's pupils, he nodded in cooperation.
"What secret?"
Shen Tingyu said softly: “You have no family, and I have no family, so how about you be my family?”
She looked down at him seriously, waiting for his answer.
The gentle full moon was right behind her.
The hazy moonlight seemed to have coated her with a layer of soft light as white as gauze.
Her words were like a huge rock hitting his calm lake, making a roaring sound and causing waves to splash.
The ripples of shock turn around and around.
I have a feeling that she is just like me, a child who longs for love but cannot get it.
Xin Hongying was stunned and speechless for a long time. How could this happen?
He was thinking...
Maybe the drunk person was himself?
After waiting for a long time without receiving his answer, the glimmer in Shen Tingyu's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his eyes in disappointment, his lips moving, and his already weak voice was lighter than the breeze on the lake.
"I just... want a home!"
On the lonely boat, Shen Tingyu's voice was gentle and charming, and his eyes were red from the alcohol, and there was a trace of sadness hidden deep inside.
Xin Hongying heard every word, and suddenly her heart felt like it was being gripped by a pair of big hands, tearing out her flesh and causing her to cry.
"I'll be your family."
"As long as you are willing, I will give you a home."
He hugged her tightly, his dark eyes full of seriousness and solemnity, and he felt a little nervous: "Are you willing?"
Shen Tingyu tilted his head and looked at him, as if trying to understand what he said.
Suddenly, there was a plop.
The two men accidentally knocked off an oar on the boat and fell into the water. They sank beneath the dark water surface in the waves.
not good!
Xin Hongying's pupils shrank.
The boat was now far away from the lake shore. If the oars fell off, they would have to row back to the shore by hand, which would take a long time.
"Don't! Fall!"
Xin Hongying hurriedly stretched out her hand, stirring the slightly cool lake surface with her arm, but the oar slipped from her fingertips.
Instead, it knocked the other oar into the water.
