We had been at sea for nearly a month, and it felt like a long time since we stepped on land again.
Unfortunately, before they could fully enjoy it, they were surrounded by oncoming islanders.
"Is this the person who saved the island owner and his men? He looks similar to us!"
"What do you mean by almost the same? They are obviously the same. They don't have one more nose or fewer eyes than us!"
"But the clothes they wear are so strange, but they are pretty nice..."
“That little girl is so cute!”
"Those girls are so beautiful... I have never seen such beautiful women..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not good-looking?! Don't you want to live with me anymore?!"
"That man wears glasses. I've only seen people wearing glasses in the main city of the empire, but they were all old men, not as handsome as him..."
The chattering made everyone a little confused. What the hell, are we being watched like monkeys? Although most of the comments were compliments, it was so chaotic with so many people talking at once...
"Alright, alright, what are you doing?!"
Finally, Pan Cheng stopped them, "This is our Silver Pine Island's great benefactor! If he gets scared again... Hurry up and prepare the banquet! Treat him well!"
"it is good!!"
After all, he was the island owner, and his words carried weight. Upon hearing his words, they quickly dispersed and went about their business, at most looking back twice reluctantly.
Sometimes I felt like laughing. I felt that the situation was different from when they got on the boat... At this moment, it was just like that moment, I was happy.
But this was just a harmless incident and no one would take it seriously.
"Come on, Brother Xu, let me introduce you!"
Pan Cheng brought his family and greeted him warmly, "This is my two wives, Cui Fen and Yu Rong, this is my eldest daughter Pan Feng, and my youngest daughter Pan Ling."
Both ladies were beautiful as flowers, with the wheat-colored skin that was unique to the people of Yinsong Island. The two children looked like they had just reached adulthood, and indeed they were still in the age group of half-grown children who could only eat their parents to death.
"Brother Pan is a blessed man, and his children are very cute."
Xu Shi greeted them one by one with a smile, and finally understood where the other party's ambiguous attitude came from.
So you also... So, of course he wouldn't feel strange seeing Xu Shi bringing two "wives", after all, he does too... But in addition to that, you are also his fiancée and a female guard, which is a treatment he can't enjoy. Even though he is the owner of an island, Yinsong Island itself is not that big, and he can't be considered a local emperor.
"I can't compare to you, Brother Xu."
Pan Cheng smiled cheerfully, "Well, why are you saying that? I'll treat you well later! Can you drink? I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"
"Okay."
Xu Shi didn't refuse, it would be nice to relax.
"Then it's settled!"
Pan Cheng clapped his hands and said, "I'm going to go visit the families of the injured and dead first. I'll see you later. If you don't mind, you can walk around the island first? Do you want me to let my wife accompany you and act as your guide?"
"That's not necessary. I'll just take a walk."
Xu Shi waved his hands, thinking to himself, "Brother, you can really say such words without any burden..."
But this does reflect the other person's sincerity. He is really defenseless towards you, so he shouldn't misinterpret his intentions here.
For him who was used to the Night Crime City, this Silver Pine Island was really a good place.
The main reason is that the atmosphere here is very good. After walking around, he found that this place is still basically in the traditional farming civilization. Most people make a living by farming and animal husbandry, and the overall pace of life is slow.
Of course, no one goes fishing. As far as the current ocean conditions are concerned, no one anywhere would be stupid enough to do such a thing. The shipbuilding on Yinsong Island is mainly for exchanges with the Hualan Empire, and going out to sea is a minority activity.
Moreover, the relationships between people on the island are very harmonious, and they get along very happily with each other. Although they cannot say that there are no barriers between them, at least they are enjoying themselves.
This is indeed a far cry from the busy and cold-hearted Night Crime City. In a sense, it is not an exaggeration to call it a paradise...
At least he was not the only one who had this idea. The girls were the same. Jiang Chengcheng continued to discuss academic issues with the girl Xiaomei, while Xia Wuyou was entangled by Pan Cheng's two daughters. Maybe they were interested in the alloy battle blade she was wearing? That sister Pan Feng seemed to be wearing a sword as well...
Yu Xingchuan took Shen Qin back to the boat to take care of the supplies. As for Xia Ke'an, he really found a group of kids to have fun with, as if he was going to be the leader of the kids as soon as he arrived.
Old auntie, you are really good, you have perfectly entered the role... But this also indirectly reflects that everyone’s mentality is similar to his, and they all like this kind of style that they have never experienced before.
Of course, more importantly.
To sum up, no one wants him anymore.
Although it is only temporary, Xiao Xu is still very sad. Isn't this also a kind of abandonment? It must be a great psychological harm to a naive, simple and kind person like me... Woo woo woo.
...Hehe, just pretending.
"Are you thinking about me?"
He immediately grabbed Xie Qingyan and said, "Let's go for a walk together, my good fiancée?"
"What? You remembered me because you have no one to accompany you?"
Looking at the hand he extended, the bitch snorted and said sarcastically, "That's right, you are a married man, and I am just your fiancée."
But having said that, she still put her hand on it honestly.
"This is a huge injustice."
Xu Shi would never admit it. I argued with you a lot on the boat. It's just that after Pan Cheng came, everyone's attention shifted to Yinsong Island. But that was only for two or three days. It would be an exaggeration to say that we were neglected.
But there is one thing she said that is true, "You are not my fiancée, what are you?"
"I am...I am your fiancée."
Xie Qingyan wanted to refute, but suddenly found that there was nothing wrong with what he said, so he could only agree reluctantly.
"Isn't that okay?"
Xu Shi laughed, took her hand and started walking aimlessly.
"Xu Shi, you said..."
Of course, just looking at the scenery was not enough for them, and soon Xie Qingyan took the initiative to start a conversation.
But when she noticed that Ye Shanshan was following behind her, she stopped talking again and turned to look at her, "Why are you following us? Don't you have your own things to do?"
"I……?"
Little Curly was speechless for a moment. Isn't it a custom for me to follow you? Besides, "I don't have anything to do..."
"If there's nothing to do, then do you see that tree?"
Xu Shi pointed towards the distance with a smile.
"Well, what?"
"That's a vent, it looks cool, you can stay there."
"……Oh."
After understanding the other party's subtext, Ye Shanshan responded reluctantly. This guy is really asking for trouble. You might as well just chase me away... I don't just want to follow Mr. Xie, I also want to follow you.
But she was still very obedient and gave the two elders some private space.
If it were in the past, she would definitely think this was a dangerous signal. If Xu Shi and Xie Qingyan became close, there might be double the number of people bullying her.
But it's okay now, there's nothing else she can do. If Director Xie can't win Xu Shi, then she will never be legitimate... Although this model seems really humble, who made us be in such a position where we can't go up or down? It's good enough to be like this.
Thinking about it this way, she was quite envious of Yu Xingchuan. No matter what her starting point was, at least she was free in this regard. Even though she had a burden on her head, it was obvious that Tang Shuang did not have that much control over her, and she herself did not care.
Ugh……
"Well, now that she's been sent away, what's she going to say?"
Xu Shi didn't care what the little curly-haired girl was thinking. He just thought it was funny to see her walk away dejectedly. "You are so mysterious. What secrets do you want to report?"
"speak nicely."
Xie Qingyan was speechless at his recklessness, "What secrets are there... I just want to ask, do you feel that our relationship is much better than before?"
"When you asked this question, you knew the answer, right?"
Xu Shi smiled slightly and acted as a riddle teller.
The Riddler gets out of Nightsin City... Oh, he's already gone, so it's okay then.
"It seems so?"
Xie Qingyan felt relieved after hearing this. As one of the parties involved, she naturally understood the situation.
"But if you ask me, I always feel like something is not enough."
"What's not enough?"
"That's what I wanted to ask you."
The dog woman sighed, "What do you think is enough? Is it enough to roll on the same bed with you?"
“I don’t think so.”
Xu Shi shook his head. "I don't think you would think so... But if you want to know how much is enough, I'm sorry, I don't know either."
This was something that both of them knew tacitly. Their relationship was already awkward to begin with, and it was not as simple as resolving the feud with just one shot. Doing so might bring a night of pleasure, but it would do nothing to enhance their relationship.
Xie Qingyan was well aware of this. The man was indeed lustful, but he was definitely not the type that would be blinded by lust. Just getting his body was useless. This was not a problem between them at all.
This is just like hammering a nail. I have done something wrong to him before. Even if I no longer have the intention to harm him, the most I can do is to pull out the nail, and the scar will still be there.
To be honest, the previous unprovoked little quarrels, such as pinching faces and bickering, were more like signals of repairing the relationship.
But I don't know how low that kind of efficiency is. You can't just play this kind of game with him every day without doing anything, right?
Xie Qingyan was actually quite confused when it came to relationships, so he took the initiative to ask such a question.
Xu Shi did not give a clear answer because there was no clear answer to this question. Should she just set a scope and do it? It was not that easy.
To use a very clichéd line, the answer lies in the bitch's heart, and she needs to find it herself.
But then again, it was unexpected that she would take the initiative to talk to me about this. I always felt that she seemed more human?
It was true. He always felt that there was something indescribable weird about his fiancée. It was because she was too rational most of the time, which made her lack a lot of worldly touches. Strong women were often equated with robots.
So he was actually quite surprised. Should he say that the conversation in the office that day really worked? Or was she also infected by the atmosphere here?
In essence, she herself is willing to make some changes in this regard, otherwise no matter how much external force influences her, it will be useless.
This also fits with my expectation that she, the rose, would "pull out the thorns by herself", which is great.
"...What a coincidence. I don't know."
