Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Looking at her, Su Wuli thought for a moment, then took the remaining persimmons from the side and stuffed them into her hand.

Chuhe's hand was pushed forward, and the persimmon lay steadily in her palm.

"One for you and one for Qiaosheng."

She looked down at the persimmon, then looked up at Su Wuli.

He quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Miss."

Su Wuli smiled, then took another persimmon and walked to Feng Xi, handing it to him.

Seeing that Chuhe and the others had already accepted the gifts, Feng Xi felt relieved and accepted them as well.

"Thank you, Miss Xie."

Su Wuli took another one and handed it to Yingjun.

After Su Wuli finished distributing the fruit, she picked up a piece of fruit from the plate and handed it to Yu Chen.

Yu Chen looked down at the persimmon in her hand, then took a bite.

Su Wuli took another piece and stuffed it into her mouth, mumbling something indistinctly.

"I picked these."

Yu Chen smiled as he looked at her puffed-out cheeks.

Chuhe stood to the side watching this scene, then lowered her head and smiled.

Su Wuli was still chewing on a persimmon, her voice muffled, "It's so sweet, you guys should try some."

Chuhe and Qiaosheng were already laughing, their smiles barely contained.

"Yes."

Su Wuli's eyes flickered slightly as she picked up a stone from the side.

The stone wasn't big, and it felt cool to the touch when held in the palm of your hand.

She walked a few steps to the riverbank, mimicking the skipping motion she remembered from memory, bent down, swung her hand back, and then forcefully swung it forward.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

The stone slipped from her hand and sank with a "plop" not far from her feet, splashing up a small spray of water.

A ripple spread across the water's surface, but it quickly disappeared.

Su Wuli stared at the spreading ripples and pursed her lips.

It's not what I imagined.

Yu Chen walked over, picked up a flat stone, pinched it between two fingers, and flicked his wrist.

The stone flew across the water, bounced once, then again, leaving a trail of ripples before finally settling near the opposite bank.

Su Wuli stared at the ripples, her eyes lighting up.

It quickly went dark again.

Some, unwilling to accept defeat, picked up a stone and threw it, but it sank.

I picked up another one, this time with more force, and the stone flew a little further.

But it still sank.

"That's not how it is," Yu Chen's voice came from behind her.

Before Su Wuli could react, the man's chest was already pressed against her back.

An arm came around her side and took her hand that was holding the stone.

His large hand enveloped her entire hand, his thumb pressing on the back of her hand, guiding her to adjust the angle of the stone.

She looked down at their clasped hands.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on the back of his hand, revealing the bluish veins that bulged slightly beneath the thin skin.

"Bend down," he said softly, his voice close to her ear.

Su Wuli obediently bent down.

Yu Chen pulled her hand back and paused for a moment.

"Use your wrist, not your arm." He flicked his wrist slightly.

The stone flew from her hand and bounced several times on the water's surface.

Su Wuli watched as the two ripples slowly spread across the water's surface. Before her mind could even process what was happening, her body had already moved.

She turned away from his embrace, looked up, and wanted to tell him that she had succeeded.

Her nose brushed against his chin, and she froze.

Yu Chen's face was right in front of her, very close.

I was so close I could see the curve of his eyelashes and smell his cold aura.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves and fell on his face.

He gazed at her with his eyes slightly lowered.

Chuhe and Qiaosheng were still eating persimmons by the river.

When their gaze fell upon him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn upwards.

Feng Xi stood next to the Shadow Falcon, looking at the river and then at Yu Chen and Su Wuli.

I tried to suppress the corners of my mouth several times, but I couldn't.

Su Wuli noticed their gazes and her face turned red from her neck down.

She pulled away from the man's embrace and took a step back.

"I...I'll try again."

As she spoke, she squatted down and picked up a stone, mimicking the posture he had just taught her.

The stone slipped from my hand and flew away, skimming the surface of the water.

Su Wuli jumped up instinctively.

Her skirt billowed up, like a blooming flower in the sunlight.

She turned to look at him and said happily, "Five, there are five."

Her shouts echoed along the riverbank.

"Hmm, very impressive." Yu Chen raised his hand and ruffled her hair.

Chuhe covered her mouth and laughed at the sight.

Feng Xi finally couldn't help but smile and looked at the Shadow Falcon beside him.

Qiaosheng stood beside her with her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly.

Looking at the ripples on the river that hadn't yet dissipated, Su Wuli felt a sense of accomplishment.

She turned and ran to the riverbank, picked up a stone, and flicked it with her wrist.

It was successful several times in a row.

Su Wuli couldn't help but turn around and shout to Yu Chen, "Look, look..."

The sound echoed along the riverbank, startling several birds.

The sunlight cast the shadows of the two people onto the grass, their long and short shadows overlapping.

Su Wuli ran back, lifting her skirt, with a stone clutched in her hand.

He held it up in front of him and said, "Look how flat this stone is, can you make ten of them?"

"I'll give it a try," Yu Chen replied softly.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli shoved the stone into his hand, saying, "Here, you take it."

He pinched the stone, turned sideways, and threw it; the stone flew away, skimming the surface of the water.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

Su Wuli stared at the long string of ripples on the water's surface, her eyes lighting up.

Once the lake calmed down, Su Wuli stared at the water as if she had discovered something.

She simply squatted down and finally saw it clearly.

There was a fish in the water, its tail swaying as it slowly swam among the water plants.

Upon closer inspection, there was not just one, but two or three more following behind.

The smaller one has long fingers, while the larger one is as wide as her palm.

Su Wuli was mesmerized, her hands resting on her knees and her chin in her palms.

Like a cat crouching by the river waiting for fish.

"The ancient times were so wonderful..." she couldn't help but murmur to herself, "It was so easy to see fish."

She looked and instinctively reached out her hand.

She dipped her fingertips into the water, and the coolness seeped up from her fingertips, making her flinch.

The fish were startled by her and darted into the crevice of the rock with a flick of their tails.

Once the water calmed down, the fish slowly swam out again after a while.

Su Wuli was much more cautious this time, holding her breath and lowering her hand to wait for the fish to swim over.

The fish in the water stopped half an inch from her fingertips.

It opens and closes its mouth but doesn't move forward.

She couldn't help but move forward half an inch, but the fish retreated half an inch.

Impatient, she lunged forward.

The fish slipped through her fingers.

Su Wuli pounced empty-handed and swam in the river, splashing water everywhere.

It splashed all over her face.

She wiped the water off her face, but still wouldn't give up, she put her hand back into the water.

However, before she could even touch the fish, a large hand reached out from the side and grabbed her wrist.

Yu Chen's hand enveloped her hand completely, his palm warm against the back of her hand, gradually warming it from the coolness of the river water.

"If you want to eat fish, let Shadow Falcon and the others catch some."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli turned her head to look at him.

Before he could say anything, Yu Chen turned his head to look at the two figures on the shore.

Shadow Falcon and Maple Xi stood not far away, one leaning against a tree, the other squatting on the ground counting ants.

Yu Chen's gaze swept over them, and the two of them looked up at the same time.

The man didn't speak, but tilted his chin towards the river.
