Li Nanke plunged into the icy lake and looked at the struggling woman, but did not find anything entangled with her in the lake.
Without any time to think, Li Nanke put his arm around the woman's waist and swam towards the boat.
It took a lot of effort to push Bai Ruyue into the cabin.
"What's wrong? Is there something in the water?"
Li Nanke asked quickly.
Bai Ruyue coughed violently, her soaked skirt clinging to her slender thighs, bringing with it a temptation that no one could resist.
It took a while for her to stop coughing.
She looked up at Li Nanke, with a few strands of messy hair stuck to her lips, and suddenly laughed.
Then the woman lay lazily in the cabin, like an extremely tired person lying on the bed to rest. She smiled and said, "My legs suddenly cramped."
Leg cramps?
Li Nanke's face twitched a few times and he was speechless.
Seeing that the woman was still laughing, Li Nanke said angrily: "What's so funny about this? If I had left just now, you might have lost your life here."
"Yeah, that's why I think it's funny."
Bai Ruyue wanted to reach out and press her left leg, but because the cabin space was small and she was too lazy to get up, she simply gave up and slowly curled her legs to relieve herself.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Kind of."
Li Nanke hesitated for a moment, then leaned over and gently rubbed the opponent's legs with his hands, trying to relieve the muscle spasm in the legs.
Even through the fabric, you can clearly feel the smoothness and tenderness of your skin from your fingertips.
Bai Ruyue wanted to pull her leg back, but in the end she didn't move. She stared at Yuncheng in the sky and said quietly: "Tell me, wouldn't it be ridiculous if I drowned in the lake because of leg cramps?"
"Are you laughing at this?"
"Yes, isn't this worthy of being funny?" Bai Ruyue said with self-mockery on her lips.
Li Nanke looked at her and said, "There's something wrong with you today."
"Today is my birthday." The woman said in an understatement.
Birthday?
The man was stunned.
I didn't expect that the birthday of the majestic princess would be so shabby. Not to mention there was no ceremony, and there were not even any relatives around to wish her well.
Li Nanke said: "I wish you a happy birthday."
"Thanks."
Woman reaches out her hand.
Li Nanke looked confused, "What?"
"Where's the gift?"
"..."
Li Nanke didn't know what to say, so he said helplessly: "Your Highness, you didn't tell me earlier, how do you want me to prepare now."
"The best gift is the unprepared gift." A smile appeared on the woman's slightly pale lips, "Just give it to anyone."
"How about... give you a kiss?"
"roll."
Li Nanke smiled awkwardly, and after thinking for a while, he took out a copper coin from his arms and placed it in the woman's palm, "This is my best gift."
Bai Ruyue held the copper coin in front of her eyes and said with a smile: "It's a very good gift."
The woman wrapped the copper coins in a handkerchief and put them away.
Seeing the woman putting away the coins so seriously, Li Nanke's face felt a little hot, and he couldn't find anything to say, "Since it's your birthday, why do you feel unhappy? Is it because no one is spending it with you?"
"Today is my mother's death anniversary."
"..."
Li Nanke felt that he shouldn't ask too many questions.
Looking at the slight sadness in the woman's eyes, Li Nanke roughly understood the woman's abnormal behavior today, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort her.
Both of them were silent, letting the small boat carry them and float in the lake.
After a long time, the woman whispered: "Go back."
"Just go back like this?"
"Is there a problem?" Bai Ruyue naturally pulled her leg away from Li Nanke's hand, blinking and asked.
"You're already wet."
Li Nanke pointed at her wet clothes and said.
"Then what should I do?" Bai Ruyue said with a smile, "Even if I have to change clothes here, there are no dry clothes to change into. You can't let me wait until I'm dry before leaving. Or should I take off all my clothes?
"
"Well, that's not the case."
Li Nanke coughed dryly and tried to row the boat, but found that the oar was missing.
When I thought about it carefully, I realized that the woman just threw it away.
Li Nanke stood up and looked around, and found the oar floating in the distance, so he had to jump into the lake to retrieve the oar.
Returning to the boat, I saw that Bai Ruyue had taken off her shoes and white socks, and her skirt and silk pants had also been rolled up, revealing her slender porcelain white calves.
The woman sat at the stern of the boat, swaying her legs slightly, like a little girl going out to play.
The small and round toes like jade made ripples in the lake.
Li Nanke stared at her beautiful back and rowed the oar silently.
For some reason, this scene looks very much like a couple living in seclusion outside the world, living a leisurely and comfortable life.
The boat moved forward leisurely and returned to the shore unknowingly.
Looking at the two people who were soaked all over, the princess's personal female guard looked strange. After preparing her dry clothes and skirts, she asked the princess to enter the carriage and change clothes.
Li Nanke was still waiting outside in wet clothes.
Through the curtain of the carriage door, you can hear the sound of people changing clothes inside.
Li Nanke didn't have much reverie.
After all, I have seen everything there is to see and tasted it.
"There are no men's clothes here, please bear with me for a while and go to the city to ask someone to buy them."
After changing clothes, Bai Ruyue opened the door curtain and motioned for Li Nanke to get in the car. She apologized with a joke, "Of course, if you don't mind women's clothes, I can lend them to you."
Women's clothing?
It would be better to kill me.
"No need, just drop me off at the next intersection."
Li Nanke suddenly remembered that Meng Xiaotu's house was not far away, and planned to go there to bake first.
"Where are you going?"
"Investigating the case."
Li Nanke deliberately concealed it.
Bai Ruyue, who noticed that the man was lying, nodded and did not ask further questions. When the carriage stopped at the intersection, she asked the guard to stop.
"If the Dragon Guard comes to you again, just ask someone to notify me." Bai Ruyue said, "But don't try to contradict him yourself."
"I even dare to contradict you, why are you still afraid of him?"
Li Nanke secretly complained.
However, this could not be said in person. Li Nanke jumped off the carriage and responded: "I understand."
"in addition……"
Bai Ruyue paused, her beautiful eyes filled with some unspeakable emotions, and said softly, "Actually, you are not that annoying. On the contrary, it is me who makes you very annoying."
"No, I don't hate Her Royal Highness."
Li Nanke quickly shook his head.
"You just don't hate my body." Bai Ruyue exposed the other person's unspoken words and lowered the car curtain without waiting for the man to refute.
Watching the carriage go away, Li Nanke whispered: "You are right."
Arrive at Meng Xiaotu’s house.
Grandma Meng turned into a "Wangfu Stone" and sat there steadily as usual.
"Hello grandma."
Li Nanke said hello and asked, "Is Little Rabbit at home?"
"who are you."
The old woman squinted hard to identify.
Li Nanke came closer and said, "I am your grandson-in-law."
"Who is it?" the old man asked again.
Okay, here we go again.
Li Nanke was unable to explain any more, so he gently patted two leaves off the other party's shoulders, waved his hand and said, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about me, I'll go find her myself."
Entering the girl's boudoir, the little girl was still asleep.
One side of her cute round face is pressed against the pillow, a little flat.
Looking at this, I guess I am entering my own red rain dream again, recalling the past.
Li Nanke took off his clothes, hung the soaked clothes on the underwear string in the room, dried himself and got directly into the girl's fragrant bed.
Maybe it was because of being soaked in the lake for too long that the temperature of the skin was extremely cold. As soon as their skin came into contact, the little rabbit jumped up and opened its eyes.
Still a little confused, she found a naked man under the quilt, and subconsciously raised her knee and hit the man in the abdomen.
This time it was so powerful that the egg almost broke.
