Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Xing and Huohua frolicked in the cramped space of the ship for a while, then rolled from the stern to the side of the ship, their four legs intertwined, and occasionally a section of their fair ankles were revealed as their skirts fluttered.

Lu Ze crossed his arms and leaned calmly against the ship's railing, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two beauties, thoroughly enjoying the sight.

"If you don't stop, the boat will capsize." After having a good look at the sights, he hurriedly spoke up to stop them.

Xing and Huohua stopped instantly and turned to glare at him.

You were the one watching with the most enthusiasm just now, and now you're acting all serious.

Xing expressionlessly tugged at her collar, which had been pulled askew, while Huohua adjusted her sunglasses back onto her head. The two of them straightened their clothes, which had been somewhat disheveled by the other.

Just then, a small boat glided leisurely past.

Standing at the bow of the boat was the young master who had been politely refused by Lu Ze. He was admiring the scenery of the lake and mountains while fanning himself with a folding fan. His gaze inadvertently swept over Lu Ze's boat, and the folding fan stopped in mid-air.

At the stern, two young women with slightly disheveled hair and half-tied clothes were seen, while the man sat calmly on the gunwale with an unchanging expression.

The young master was stunned for a moment, then his eyes flashed with sincere admiration, and he bowed respectfully to Lu Ze from afar.

"Brother, you are indeed a role model for us all."

The ancients often used the word "romantic" to refer to this kind of unrestrained and elegant pursuit, accompanied by beautiful women.

Lu Ze's behavior of embracing two women on his left and right and not paying attention to etiquette was not considered impolite by literati and scholars, but rather a romantic affair worthy of praise.

Lu Ze gave a wry smile.

He knew the other party had misunderstood.

But then I thought, explaining would only make things worse. Was I supposed to chase after that boat and say, "Brother, you've misunderstood. They were just pulling each other's clothes, not me pulling them?"

He simply clasped his hands in return and said, "You flatter me. I was merely fortunate to have encountered some romantic luck."

The young master didn't linger. He simply stood at the bow of the boat, unfolded his folding fan with a snap, gently shook it, and recited aloud.

"Enjoy life to the fullest when you are successful, for you should not let your golden goblet stand empty before the moon."

After reciting the poem, Chao Luze bowed respectfully to the distance, lightly touched the water with his oar, and the small boat leisurely sailed towards the center of the lake.

They're finally gone.

Lu Ze let out a long sigh of relief, turned around, and met two pairs of eyes, one gold and one red, staring intently at him.

"Why aren't you explaining this time? Are you interested in us?" Xing crossed her arms, her golden eyes full of scrutiny.

"Interesting! Interesting!" Spark clapped and cheered from the side, her wine-red eyes narrowing into slits with laughter.

Lu Ze's lips twitched.

"Uh... I just find it too much trouble—"

Before he could finish speaking, Xing continued to deliver the final blow.

"Let me tell you, I'm four years old. Be careful not to lay a hand on a four-year-old and you'll get arrested by the Interstellar Peace Corporation." She said this with the seriousness of someone reading a law.

"Arrest him! Arrest him!" Sparks continued to fuel the fire.

"Alright, isn't this chaotic enough?" Lu Ze lightly chopped Huo Hua on the forehead with a chop, stopping her endless commotion.

"Ouch~ Xiao Luzi has no chivalry at all, he's destined to be single forever!" Spark covered her forehead, her twin ponytails swaying aggrievedly.

"Sorry, I have a wife."

Lu Ze replied subconsciously, the image of Fu Xuan appearing in his mind, his expression softening involuntarily.

Spark stared at his face for two seconds, then suddenly pulled Star back half a step towards the stern of the ship.

"Ugh~ Xing, look at his expression, it's disgusting! Xing, let's stay away from him!" She said, waving her hand at Lu Ze as if shooing away something unclean.

Lu Ze came to his senses and found that Xing had been sitting on the gunwale next to him at some point, while Spark was huddled at the stern with a look of disgust on her face.

The small boat rocked gently in the ripples caused by the three men's antics. The lake in the distance still shimmered, and the old boatman still had his back to them, though the embers in his pipe had quietly died out after a while.
