Pei Yuanxiu's body stiffened for a moment, and even his breathing was a little rapid.

I subconsciously reached out and climbed over his shoulder and asked softly, "Why, there is still a dinner party?"

"Um."

He agreed, probably because of the emotion just now, his voice slightly changed tone and dull. He let out another sigh before saying, "We haven't been back for half a year, so--"

Speaking of this, he seemed a little disappointed and sighed.

I said, "Since that's the case, let's go quickly."

Just stopped like this, the man must have felt bad. He almost gritted his teeth, but he heard the sound of maids outside the door, not knowing whether he should ask us.

After a while, he smiled bitterly.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I watched him sit up slowly with his arms. But as soon as he left, the long scarf I had just wrapped around me slipped down again. I was so scared that I hurriedly shrank, and hurriedly lifted up the long scarf that was landing beside me to cover my body.

This time, he didn't tease me anymore, and didn't even look at me. He just stood up with his back to me, walked to the clothes hanger on the other side and picked up my clothes: "Change it quickly."

Once he did this, I felt even more embarrassed and hurriedly took the clothes and put them on.

When I went out, the maids waiting outside the door lowered their heads. Although they didn't look at us, they must have known what happened inside just now. The feeling of being spying still made me blush, and I lowered my head and drove me away for a few steps to follow Pei Yuanxiu.

After a while, we arrived at the place where Han Ruoshi held a banquet.

Before entering the door, the tempting fragrance of wine and food came from inside. When I walked in, I saw countless candlesticks of various sizes and heights, which were brightly lit in the room. The not-so-large table was filled with exquisite wine and food. They were also famous dishes from this area, including salted duck, stewed silver carp heads, crispy eel shreds, and phoenix tail shrimps. In front of everyone, there was a small pot of steaming stewed lion heads, all of which were full of color, fragrance and flavor, which made people's index fingers move.

When we walked in, Han Zitong sat there lightly, while Han Ruoshi was holding a wine pot and pouring wine into everyone's cups. He looked up and saw us coming in, and immediately smiled and said, "You are here."

I nodded, Pei Yuanxiu glanced at it and smiled, "Have you prepared so many dishes?"

"You have been there for so long, don't you miss these good dishes?"

"Of course I miss it."

When it comes to eating and drinking, the atmosphere naturally doesn’t get serious, and everyone laughs. Han Ruoshi raised her hand gently: “Sit down quickly.”

Pei Yuanxiu took me over and sat down. Naturally, I sat on his left hand, and Han Ruoshi filled us with wine and sat on his right hand.

Pei Yuanxiu looked around and said, "Where is the old Yao?"

"I asked me to come over and invite me, but the old man said he was not very comfortable and didn't want to eat."

"oh……"

"Don't worry, I'll keep the fire in the kitchen and prepare soup for him."

"Thanks a lot."

"Young master, don't say that."

I sat calmly beside me, listening to them asking questions and answers, and there was a sense of perfection between the two of them, and no one could penetrate it. Han Zitong, who was sitting opposite me, looked at me with a sarcastic expression on her face, and the sneer that floated on her lips was unblocked. I met her gaze, and only curled the corners of her lips faintly, said nothing, and picked up the wine glass on my own.

Just when I was about to drink, Han Ruoshi also raised her glass and said with a smile: "This glass will wash the dust of the young master and sister."

Pei Yuanxiu and I looked at each other, and he also raised his glass.

Everyone took a sip first, and I realized that the wine was still warm. On such a cold night, drinking such warm wine was naturally the most comfortable.

I really can't think of any reason to resist this kind of meticulousness.

I couldn't help but smile.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and whispered to me: "You haven't had a good meal on the boat these days, so you'd better eat something first and then drink a bar."

I glanced at him and nodded gently.

So I opened the lid of the small soup cup in front of me, and immediately a faint smell of meat wafted out. The lion's head inside had been cooked to make the soup tender and tender, and it was very delicious. A piece of green vegetable leaves floated on the soup, as if a girl in a green skirt was strolling in the garden, with her skirt spreading slightly, looking both graceful and delicious.

I just dug a small piece of lion's head with a small spoon and was about to put it into my mouth when I heard Han Ruoshi say, "I have asked someone to go down and prepare for the ship."

Boat?

My spoon stopped at the edge of the bowl, let out a silence, and looked up at them: "What boat?"

"A boat going out to sea."

“…”

My heart suddenly sank, and I turned my head to look at Pei Yuanxiu: "Yuanxiu."

He just put the wine glass in his hand on his lips, and only glanced at Han Ruoshi, then turned his head to look at me, and smiled and said, "Don't be anxious for now."

"You promised me-"

"Don't worry," he slowly put down the cup in his hand: "I promised you, of course I will do it."

"but--"

"Look at you, I told you not to hurry." The more I was anxious, the slower he was, he reached out and gently pressed my wrist, and said with a smile: "It's not what you thought."

“…”

"I won't go out to sea. However, Yao Lao wanted to find Xue Muhua, so the boat was prepared for him."

“…”

I felt like I didn't know what to say or what to do for a moment. I just felt my chest pounding violently. It took me a long time to calm down and said softly: "Old Yao?"

"Um."

“…”

"It's him who wants to go out to sea."

"and you--"

"I won't go."

“…”

"Don't worry, I won't go."

I took a breath after hearing his promise again. Although I was still a little scared, I finally felt relieved when I looked at his calm smile.

After a while, I smiled as if concealed: "You scared me."

He also laughed.

However, the Han sisters sitting next to us obviously did not have the "good mood" like us. Han Zitong's face was cold and her eyes were also stinging coldly, but she didn't say anything. Instead, Han Ruoshi on the other side said softly: "What are Sister Qingying doing so worried about?"

I looked up at her.

"Even if the young master wants to go out to sea, it's normal."

“…”

I frowned slightly. Before I could speak anything, Han Zitong next to her had already said, "As the young master's wife, shouldn't you assist your husband?"

“…”

I looked at her for a while, and then looked at Han Ruoshi. Although these sisters looked exactly the same, they spoke and acted softly. This match made me feel a little tricky.

At this time, I also understood what happened to this dinner today.

Maybe it was because I was excited just now that my forehead was covered with cold sweat. At this time, the wind was blowing, and it became a little chill. I simply picked up the wine glass. Pei Yuanxiu was about to reach out to stop it. I had already dried up, and then smiled and said, "Miss Zitong, do you know what other people are going to sea to do?"

"Of course, I'm looking for something."

"Then, does Miss Zitong know what those things are?"

"Old Yao told us."

"Well," I smiled and nodded: "Does Miss Zitong know who left these things?"

She was stunned for a moment.

I reached out and grabbed the wine pot in front of Han Ruoshi, poured wine for myself, and the wine slowly filled the cup, and I said slowly: "It was left by my father and my mother."

“…”

"It's fine if outsiders covet these things. Since Miss Ruoshi calls me sister, of course we are our own family. Do you want this too?"

“…”

The two of them looked at each other and were immediately stunned.

It was still Han Ruoshi, and she smiled reluctantly and said, "Sister Qingying said too, after all, she is her own family."

"Yes," I also smiled and said quietly, "That's why everyone should not look for it. It's not that you don't look for those things, but that you don't look for death."

As soon as these words came out, the two of them seemed to be unable to sit still. Han Zitong stood up with a slam on the table: "What did you say?!"

"Zi Tong!"

Han Ruoshi hurriedly grabbed her wrist and wanted to pull her down, but Han Zitong was obviously out of control and glared at me: "What are you looking for death?!"

When she was anxious, I calmed down instead. After smiling, I drank the wine in the glass, slowly put it down, then raised my head to look at her, stretched out a finger and said, "The vast ocean is dangerous and unpredictable. Not to mention whether I can find it, whether I can come back alive is already an unknown. This is one of the dead ends."

“…”

"I have also seen the thing Yan Qinghan took from me. Although there are some patterns, it is not a map with clear marks. Looking for it like this on the sea is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. The damage and consumption are enough to make ordinary portals lose their property. This is the second dead end."

“…”
