Gu Yizhou suddenly caught my inquisitive gaze as he picked up the Lotus Pod.
He couldn't help but smile, asking, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
I turned my head, resting my chin on my hand, and said, "Because... I suddenly feel that there's a line of poetry that fits you perfectly."
"Oh? Which line?"
"Lowering my head to handle the Lotus Seed, the Lotus Seed is as clear as water."
Gu Yizhou glanced at the Lotus Pod in his hand, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why is the Lotus Seed as clear as water?"
"You silly," I took his hand and wrote on it carefully, "Actually, it's 'The love for a child is as gentle as water.' My love for you is as tender as water. Isn't that romantic?"
Gu Yizhou lowered his head and chuckled softly, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his face. After a moment, he looked into the distance and said softly, "Manqing, what do you plan to do after this matter is settled?"
"First, I'll dodge Lou Guanhai's pursuit, and then I'll wait for my husband to come with a grand procession to marry me."
Gu Yizhou asked again, "What kind of person will your future husband be?"
"Perfect in every way!"
"Do I look like him?"
I couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
He tilted his head slightly, smiling gently at me, the curve of his eyes and brows carrying a hint of charm, perfectly complementing the blooming lotus flowers behind him. Truly, his beauty surpassed that of the flowers.
I had initially thought of him as an unpolished pearl, warm and reserved; now he resembled a meticulously crafted diamond, radiating brilliance.
I stared for quite a while before snapping back to reality, murmuring, "You look more like Cowherd."
Not only did he resemble one, but it seemed he had also once sold his charms to buy sanitary pads, and now I was "keeping" him.
Gu Yizhou looked at me in confusion and asked, " Cowherd?"
" Cowherd is a profession; they are all extraordinary beauties."
Gu Yizhou probably took this as a compliment, his face flushing slightly. He seemed about to say something but I quickly covered his mouth.
"Shh! They're coming!"
A small boat leisurely entered our line of sight.
A woman dressed in Goose Yellow sat at the bow, while a man stood at the stern holding a pole. The two exchanged glances as the boat swiftly glided into the dense Lotus Leaf thicket.
From a distance, I caught sight of Lou Guanhai and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, he looks really strong!"
Lou Guanhai's arms were as thick as legs; I estimated he could easily toss me to America with one hand. The difference in strength was so vast that if we were to face off alone, I would undoubtedly meet a terrible end.
Gu Yizhou removed my hand from his mouth and whispered, "Lou Guanhai is said to possess strength that can move mountains, but in reality, he can only lift five Stone Stools at most. Don't be fooled by his muscular build; it's just for show. Besides, he has a fatal flaw—he's not very agile."
"Being able to lift five stone stools is quite impressive. How much agility do others need to compensate for that strength?" I replied.
Gu Yizhou seemed somewhat dismissive of Lou Guanhai, stating confidently, "I can take him down in three moves or less."
I was skeptical; boasting these days didn’t come with a tax, so who knew if he was telling the truth.
Feeling my gaze upon him, Gu Yizhou became a bit embarrassed and changed the subject. "Shouldn't we get moving?"
Lou Guanhai's boat was nestled among a dense cluster of Lotus Leaves. After observing for a while, I finally determined our direction.
We then aimed our boat at theirs and began paddling furiously as we closed the distance of twenty to thirty meters. The small boat sped forward like an arrow released from a bow, crashing through the mass of Lotus Leaves with great force.
As expected, Lou Guanhai and Wang Shishi were locked in an embrace, lost in their own world.
It wasn't until we were merely three meters away that they suddenly noticed us.
However, it was too late—their boat capsized the very next second.
