Only then did Bai Xianyu remember Bai Li and look outside. “Where’s Bai Li?”
“Xiao Zheng is greeting him.” Xie Xingyun looked straight ahead. “I’ll get the boatman to set off.”
Bai Xianyu nodded and was too lazy to move. Several women had come in a row. If she were to go out and get into the carriage of the General’s Manor now, it would be easy for others to guess her identity.
It just so happened that there was a waterway to travel by, so she would wait a little longer before getting off the pleasure boat.
Xie Xingyun left for a while and came in with some hot red date cakes in his hand. “Do you still want to eat?”
Bai Xianyu’s eyes lit up. “Yes.”
“For you.” Xie Xingyun’s voice was mixed with a hint of imperceptible nervousness, but the girl could not tell.
Bai Xianyu opened her mouth, wanting to thank him, but when she thought of what Xie Xingyun had said earlier, she silently swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. “Okay.”
She took them, opened the cotton paper, and savored them.
Xie Xingyun sat down beside her and watched her eat with a faint smile.
This was the first time since he expressed his feelings that she did not reject the food he gave her. Perhaps she had forgotten, or perhaps the relaxed atmosphere after the nervousness made her lower her guard.
No matter what the reason was, Xie Xingyun’s heart was filled with a subtle satisfaction.
Bai Xianyu was soon full, and in the spirit of not wasting food, she raised her eyelids and looked at the man. “Do you want to eat?”
Xie Xingyun nodded.
Bai Xianyu handed him the pastries.
At this moment, they had already reached the center of the water. They were not the only boat on the wide river. Many pleasure boats were decorated gorgeously. Inside them, there was singing and dancing. High-ranking officials and nobles raised bottles of wine, talked and laughed loudly.
However, Bai Xianyu felt that as the wind on the river made one a little lazy. She closed her eyes and slept for a while.
When she woke up again, she glanced outside. It was almost noon.
“Xie Xingyun, why do I feel like we’re moving so slowly?”
Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows. “It must be an illusion.”
Bai Xianyu looked at the red date cake in his hand and frowned in confusion. He had not even eaten a few mouthfuls. Could it be that she had really only slept for a while before waking up?
She leaned against the window and looked down at the water flow. It looked quite fast.
Hence, Bai Xianyu was relieved. She found a comfortable position on the couch and slept again for a while.
When she got up, she realized that they were still on this waterway.
Bai Xianyu,”…”
She looked at Xie Xingyun, who was acting as if nothing had happened. “Are we going around in circles here?”
“That waterway is crowded. With this route we take, we can enjoy the scenery.”
Bai Xianyu took a deep breath, lifted the helm of her dress, and ran to the back of the boat.
Xie Xingyun was a little disappointed. He carefully put away the red date cakes and followed her out.
He only approached her after she finished instructing the boatman with a frown.
Bai Xianyu wanted to sit on the deck, but when she saw that Xie Xingyun was also here, she walked back. However, she did not walk back to her original spot but sat near the front of the boat.
Xie Xingyun also turned around.
In the pleasure boat, Bai Xianyu straightened her long legs and looked at a boat not far away. The two people there seemed to be a couple, and the woman leaned against the man affectionately.
Xie Xingyun stood at the end of the boat for a while and did not go over immediately. Instead, he waited for her to retract her gaze before moving away.
Bai Xianyu glared at him and said in a fierce tone, “What are you doing?”
A gust of wind passed through the pleasure boat, bringing with it a wave of hot and humid air.
Xie Xingyun narrowed his eyes. “Are you still eating?”
He took out the remaining pastries from his arms and brought them to her.
Bai Xianyu looked at the carefully tied knot and the meticulous wrapping technique and suddenly realized that Xie Xingyun could not bear to eat it just now.
Hence, when she woke up from her sleep, he had only eaten a little.
When the pastries that cost a few copper coins were made, they probably did not expect that they would be cherished so much by the son of a Marquis.
Bai Xianyu took them and took a bite.
Forget it, she had nothing to do today anyway.
Xie Xingyun’s lips curled up slightly as he sat beside her.
Bai Xianyu finished them all by herself, leaving only a small piece that had been bitten by Xie Xingyun just now, but not finished. However, when she turned around and wanted to give it to Xie Xingyun, she realized that Xie Xingyun’s casual gaze had passed her and landed behind her.
She followed his gaze.
She saw that the young couple from earlier had now hugged and started kissing each other. The two of them were very engrossed and did not know how many gazes they had attracted.
Before Bai Xianyu could retract her gaze, Xie Xingyun pulled her onto his lap.
This position was exactly the same as that young couple..
