"Miss Qin, come here, this fish soup is so delicious, you must try it."
At the dinner table, Cai Yin very diligently served Zhou Ming a bowl of fish soup.
Zhou Ming bowed slightly, took the fish soup and put it aside.
Seeing that Zhou Ming just took it politely but didn't drink it, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He laughed sarcastically, quickly picked up his bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
Putting down the bowl, he smacked his lips and said with a look of enjoyment: "This soup is a beautiful thing. It's neither salty nor watery. It tastes really good."
Seeing that Zhou Ming was still deserted, minding his own eating, he was not discouraged and continued to chatter about his business affairs, trying to attract Zhou Ming's attention.
"Have Miss Qin ever seen Jiaoren? I have seen Jiaoren in the Gemstone Sea. Jiaoren's singing is really..."
"Big storms in turbulent seas can stir up waves hundreds of meters high. Going there to do business is a life-and-death struggle..."
"The reason why the Qiwu Sea Area is called the Qiwu Sea Area is because there were seven..."
"Miss Qin has never seen a clam bead half the size of a human, right? I think I got such a clam bead when I caught an old clam the size of a ship. It was said that it was about to become a fairy material. I later donated it to the family...
…”
It's a pity that no matter what Cai Zhiyin said, Zhou Ming always looked indifferent and showed a lack of interest.
But she was not always deserted. From time to time she would ask a few questions, or appear to be listening attentively. Occasionally she would smile lightly, like the snowy mountains melting, and a plum blossom blooming in winter. Baicai was just stunned and felt
My body and mind are in a daze, and my soul is soaring to the sky without even realizing it.
If she is really right, she just ignores it, and she loses her enthusiasm because she never receives feedback.
If she responds enthusiastically to Cai Jian, it will also make Cai Jian lose excitement because she feels that the hand is too easy.
However, her cold and arrogant look and aloof attitude struck a chord in Cai Zhanyin's heart, making him unable to stop and unable to extricate himself.
"Miss Qin, do you know..."
Just when Cai Yin was about to get excited, the door of the cabin suddenly opened, and a red figure rushed in. He was petite and threw himself into Cai Yin's arms like a baby swallow in the forest.
"Cousin, I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
A voice sounded as clear and clear as a nightingale, with a bit of wild and unruly sound.
"What are you doing, hey young~"
Only because he quickly opened his arms instead of hugging the girl in red in his arms did he first go to see Zhou Ming's reaction.
When he saw Zhou Ming frowning slightly, he was happy in his heart, but on the surface he looked embarrassed and said: "Miss Qin, let me introduce to you, this is my sister Qiu Hongyan, Hongyan, come down quickly, everyone behaves like a lady
How unbecoming it is to behave in such an immodest way!"
"Cousin, I miss you so much. You left Luoyu Island with the caravan without saying a word. It took a lot of effort for them to catch up with you."
The girl in red Qiu Hongyan slipped from Cai Zhiyin's arms. She was obviously a woman as passionate as fire, but when she looked at Cai Zhiyin, her eyes were as tender as water.
"I have told you that I am out to do business, and the journey has been difficult and dangerous. Why are you, a girl, following me?" Caiyin scolded me lightly, and then said, "Please meet Qin Wumeng, Miss Qin, don't lose your etiquette."
Qiu Hongyan said softly "Oh" with a somewhat aggrieved tone, and reluctantly said to Qin Wumeng: "Hello, Miss Qin."
Zhou Ming smiled slightly, returned the gift to Qiu Hongyan, and said the same greeting: "Hello, Miss Qiu."
"Miss Qin, are you a new acquaintance with my cousin? I know all his previous friends, but I have never met you."
"I wonder how Miss Qin and my cousin met? Have you ever known my cousin's identity before?"
"Both the Cai family where my cousin comes from and the Qiu family where I come from are both well-established and prominent families. I wonder which family Miss Qin comes from?"
Qiu Hongyan stared at Zhou Ming with stern eyes, his tone was questioning, and he did not hide his unwelcome attitude.
Qin Wumeng didn't care, turning a blind eye to Qiu Hongyan's hostility, and whispered softly: "My body is like duckweed drifting in the wind, uncertain and dreamless. Miss Qiu, I am just a lonely traveler wandering between heaven and earth.
, As for background, naturally it cannot be compared with you and Young Master Cai, so I won’t mention it.”
"That……"
"enough!"
Qiu Hongyan was about to ask more questions, but was stopped by a light drink.
"Hongyan, you are so shameless! Is this your way of hospitality when you are chasing after a young lady you have just met to find out all the details of her family? Where has all your ladylike self-cultivation gone?"
Qiu Hongyan was startled by Cai Zhiyin's scolding, his eye circles quickly turned red, and he could not suppress his sense of grievance.
"Cousin..." She was about to cry and wanted to pull Cai Zhiyin's sleeve, but she was too weak to touch it.
"Humph, why don't you apologize to Miss Qin quickly? Don't make Miss Qin sad." Cai Zhanyin said coldly.
"Why should a talented young man lose his temper?" Zhou Ming spoke at this time and spoke for Qiu Hongyan.
"Sister Hongyan just has a warm temperament and is quick to talk to others. It is not an offense to me. Sister Hongyan and I hit it off immediately. She talked to me. I was happy before it was too late, so how could I be sad."
While talking, Zhou Ming gently took Qiu Hongyan's hand and said softly: "You think so, sister Hongyan."
Qiu Hongyan subconsciously wanted to take her hand out. Thinking that Zhou Ming had just spoken for her, she felt a little embarrassed and did not flatly reject Zhou Ming's kindness.
Of course, the person who was most happy to see this was Cai Zhiyin. He nodded and said: "Since Miss Qin is interceding for you, then I will forgive you. Hongyan, have you eaten? Let's eat together."
"Cousin is the best!" Qiu Hongyan cheered, and the grievance on his face disappeared in an instant. He happily came to Cai Yin's side and ate happily, while constantly picking up food for Cai Yin.
"Cousin, come and eat this."
"Cousin, try this!"
"Ah, cousin, there is also cold bone fish soup! This fish soup is very delicious, cousin, you must have a bowl."
"cousin……"
Cai Yin was extremely upset when he called her cousin. His cousin was handsome, with a good figure, a strong family background, and a good impression of him. However, Cai Yin didn't like him because he was too clingy.
, trying every possible means to get rid of her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, just because of the bursts of irritability, he was about to think of ways to coax her to stay, and then try to get rid of her.
Looking up, he saw a faint smile on Zhou Ming's face, his face was soft, not at all the cold look he had when he was alone with him just now, and there was a slight feeling of envy in his eyes.
'Could it be that she is actually already in love with me, but it's just because she's shy and doesn't know how to express her feelings that she can only act like she's keeping people away?'
'But she obviously talks more to Hongyan. It seems that this is only true for the opposite sex. So shouldn't I take Hongyan with me so that she can talk more and develop feelings?'
'Although it is troublesome for Hongyan to be too clingy, as long as he can catch Miss Qin, it is not impossible to accept Hongyan. Then there will be one dragon and two phoenixes, one cold and one hot, wouldn't it be wonderful...'
It was only because of the thoughts in his mind that he blurted out the words on his lips and immediately changed his mind. He no longer rejected Qiu Hongyan blindly, and agreed to Qiu Hongyan's request to stay on the ship and do business with him.
Qiu Hongyan was immediately overjoyed, but did not notice the change in Cai Zhanyin's attitude at all. He only thought that it was his persistent stalking that finally made Cai Zhanyin fall in love, and he was immersed in sweetness and fantasizing about a better future.
However, Zhou Ming was keenly aware of Cai Zhanyin's thoughts and he breathed a sigh of relief.
She just wanted to take a smooth sailing, but she was not willing to play any love games with this talented young man. She left Qiu Hongyan by her side, who could only take up a lot of his time and save herself a lot of trouble.
Soon, the not-so-harmonious dinner ended, and Zhou Ming immediately stood up and excused himself, returning to his room.
Only because he still wanted to stay, but was entangled by Qiu Hongyan, he had no choice but to give up.
The next day, the Cai family's caravan left the dock, and a fleet of eight ships, one large, seven small and eight, sailed to the sea, heading south along the route.
"Chasing Waves Gu, rise!"
As the fleet got further and further away from the island, there were several Gu Masters on each ship, all with level 2 cultivation, stimulating the Gu insects to act on the ships.
Suddenly, the resistance of the ship sailing in the waves was greatly reduced, and the speed accelerated.
"Changfeng Gu!"
Several more Wind Dao Gu Masters stepped forward and activated the Gu insects to form a wind that surrounded the ship, blowing the sails and persisting for a long time, driving the ship to move faster.
"Wave Gu..."
Under the influence of different kinds of Gu insects, the speed of the fleet is getting faster and faster, like sharp arrows, riding the wind and waves, leaving a long white wave mark on the sea.
At this speed, mortals cannot stand on the deck, and the ship does not require mortals to control it. Therefore, mortals are hiding in the cabin at this time, and the only ones who can stay on the deck are Gu Masters.
Zhou Ming held onto the side of the boat and looked at the sea and sky in the distance, his mood broadened.
Although the speed of the ship is very fast now, in such an open sea, there is no reference object for comparison, and it is motionless in the distance. For a moment, it seems as if it is staying on the sea, and it does not feel how fast it is.
"Miss Qin, what's up? I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Cai Zhiyin's voice rang in his ears, and he said quite proudly: "This is just normal driving. If you encounter danger, you can also form killing moves to explode at extremely high speeds, such as adding fuel to the fire, going with the flow... The speed at that time,
Even the Beast King of the Sea may not be able to catch up!"
"The Cai family's caravan is truly worthy of its reputation for being able to sail across the East China Sea." Zhou Ming praised softly, and Xiang Caiyin only nodded slightly.
Just because he received a compliment from Zhou Ming, even though he was not talking about himself, he still felt happy and couldn't help but brag a few more words.
"Cousin, didn't you say you wanted to take me fishing? Why don't you leave here? Miss Qin, why are you here? The cabin is too stuffy. Can you come up for some air?"
Qiu Hongyan came out of nowhere, interrupted Cai Zhiyin, and stood between the two of them, like a kitten guarding its food, staring at Zhou Ming warily.
"Sister Hongyan." Zhou Ming's attitude towards Qiu Hongyan was completely different from that towards Cai Yin. He smiled and spoke softly.
'Ah, I'm dead.' Just because I saw Zhou Ming smiling like a flower, his whole body was enveloped by the sun, and outlined a circle of gold, shining like a goddess, I screamed in my heart, I was so intoxicated that I couldn't extricate myself.
