Lu Nan suddenly spotted a food cart at a roadside stall ahead and his eyes lit up: "Hey, Lao Ba! Stop for a second!"

Seeing that the car had stopped, Banai asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lu Nan didn't answer. He jumped out of the car and ran back to the food truck on the side of the road. He returned shortly afterward, carrying a large bag of fast food.

"Want something to eat?" Lu Nan said with a smile. "Even though it's not Thursday, we still need to grab some fast food before going for a drive, right?"

Banami looked at Lu Nan with amusement: "Where did you know that? From 'Green Book'?"

The silly cat peeked over: "Boss, do you have a silly bun?"

Lu Nan laughed: "There's a silly bun. Be careful not to spill it on the car. There's also Coke here."

Dumb Cat took the chubby bag, which was almost as big as her fist, and exclaimed happily, "Yay!"

Hachimi looked at the two of them with amusement and started the car: "Don't eat too much, it's almost noon, isn't it?"

With a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth, Lu Nan mumbled, "I didn't buy too many, just enough to satisfy my craving."

He gave Banami a teasing look: "Besides, isn't it you who's here?"

Banai glanced at Lu Nan with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

Lu Nan reached out his hand: "Ah~"

When Banami saw the hamburger being handed to her, she said, "Won't it spill all over me if I eat it like this?"

Lu Nan said nonchalantly, "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, you need both hands to drive, so I'll just have to feed you."

"It doesn't look good to have oil stains on your body."

Lu Nan pouted: "I think you're good-looking, and I'll pay attention to that."

Lu Nan was not lying; he genuinely thought that the dress Banami wore today was very beautiful, elegant yet with a touch of Banami's inherent flamboyance.

Since Lu Nan has said so, Banami has no reason to refuse. Besides, driving requires both hands, so Lu Nan has no choice but to feed her.

Despite being very careful, a drop of ketchup somehow dripped onto Hanami's chest, thankfully not onto her clothes.

Seeing that it was difficult to wipe it off, Banai could only say, "Lunan, I've spilled some ketchup on me, can you help me wipe it off?"

Lu Nan noticed the drop of ketchup: "Oh, okay."

He had just opened a bag of fries, so he casually picked up a fry, dipped it in some ketchup, and put it in his mouth.

"Hmm, it tastes pretty good, it's crunchy."

"Hey... what are you doing..." Banai felt all her strength go into Lunan's mouth along with that French fry, and her body felt a little weak.

"It's bad to waste food." Lu Nan wiped away the remaining ketchup with a tissue and held a fries to Banami's lips: "Ah~"

As if venting her anger, Banai took a bite out of half of the fries.

Lu Nan casually tossed the remaining half of the fries into his mouth and then picked up another one and handed it over.

This way of eating is quite fair; in a sense, it's half for each person.

Watching the two of them eat their fries, one half for each other, the silly cat in the back seat felt like it was already full. How could these two nagging girls be my boss and sister-in-law? It was so embarrassing.

"Want some cola?" Lu Nan asked.

"Hmm." Banai subconsciously turned her head and opened her mouth. A cool straw was offered to her. With a slight sip, the iced cola flowed into her mouth through the straw, suppressing the heat in her body. However, the fire in her heart seemed to burn even more fiercely.

"I wonder if I'll run into Iori and the others here." Lu Nan took a sip of his iced cola. "After all, they're all here in Langbin City."

"It's hard to say, after all, Langbin City is quite big."

"Hehe, you're right."

Chapter 417 You ate it all in one bite!

"We're here, we're here, Lao Ba, over there!" Lu Nan pointed to a beach.

There was a parking lot nearby, and the beach didn't seem crowded. The weather was perfect, so it was the perfect time to go swimming.

After Banai saw that the car had come to a complete stop, Lu Nan jumped out of the car, stretched out his arms, and took a deep breath while facing the vast beach.

"Hoo~ The salty sea breeze is really... cough cough! So salty." Lu Nan coughed twice and turned his head to ask, "Elbow?"

Banami got off the car with her small bag and said, "I'll go to the restroom to change my clothes first."

"Okay, then Daimiao and I will switch in the car. No peeking, okay?" Lu Nan joked.

Seeing this, Banai blushed and rolled her eyes: "Who would peek? Get lost!"

After saying that, Banai stormed off in a huff. Lu Nan shrugged and jumped back into the car, pulling back the runaway Domino: "Domino, I know you're a Palico, but even if you're a Palico, you'd still have to wear swim trunks on the beach today, understand?"

Dumb Cat looked miserable. He couldn't understand what the point of wearing swim trunks was. He was just a slightly different Hakimi, and he had never worn them before. But now he had to wear swim trunks on the beach. Wasn't this just trying to cover up his true identity? It made him look like Tom Cat Teacher.

However, in the end, Daimiao couldn't resist her boss and reluctantly had a pair of red underwear put on her.

After letting Dai Miao out of the car to play, Lu Nan closed the car door, took off his clothes, and changed into his swim trunks.

Banami hasn't returned yet, and the girl probably needs to tidy up a bit, so Lunan decided to go test the waters with Daimiao first.

Dumb Cat intended to leap high into the water, but instead landed right on the wet sand after the tide had gone out. Its big head got stuck in the sand, and it flailed its arms and legs wildly, crying out, "Waaah! Boss, come save me, meow!"

Lu Nan couldn't help but burst out laughing. This scene was too entertaining, so Lu Nan decisively decided to take a picture first before going to rescue Dai Miao.

With a snap, Lu Nan captured the little guy's embarrassing moment before leisurely stepping forward to scoop the silly cat up.

"What's wrong with Daimyo?" When Banai arrived, she saw Daimyo looking sullen and was a little puzzled.

When Banami asked this question, Lu Nan almost lost his composure again. After showing Banami the photo, Banami understood the whole story.

The two were desperately trying to keep their expressions straight, because the cat opposite them was staring at them with wide, suspicious eyes, wondering if they were mocking him.

Daimiao glanced at Banami, then at the boss. Neither of them were smiling, but something felt off.

At this moment, Lu Nan turned his head and glanced at the tense Banami, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As we all know, smiles are contagious, so...

"Hahahahaha!"

"Don't laugh, or I won't be able to hold it in either, hahaha!"

"That's too much, meow!"

……

"You need to warm up properly, or you might get a cramp," Lu Nan said.

"Okay, I understand." Banami nodded and began to do some stretching on the spot.

Lu Nan was startled when he looked up and almost had Banami sit on his face. But to be fair, Banami's swimsuit looked pretty good today, and she had tied her hair into a neat ponytail for swimming.

From Lu Nan's perspective, you can see the white nape of Banami's neck beneath her frizzy hair.

"Speaking of which, Lao Ba, are you no longer afraid of water?" Lu Nan asked.

Banami stretched her foot out to feel the coolness of the seawater, shivered, and curled her toes a few times: "I'm not afraid anymore. After all, I'm a member of Pab, right?"

She jumped into the water: "If I had to say, the only thing I'm left to do before I become a water dragon is learn to swim."

"A water dragon? He really knows how to brag about himself." Lu Nan waded into the water, somewhat amused and exasperated.

"How are you praising yourself? This is clearly the truth!" Banami scooped up water and splashed it on Lunan: "After all, I am Banami Anna!"

Lu Nan splashed a handful of water back at him: "You talk as if your name is synonymous with some kind of talent, take this!"

"Huh? You actually resisted? Watch this!"

The two splashed each other with seawater. The cool seawater rolling over their skin should have brought a sense of relief, but it couldn't dispel the lingering heat in their hearts.

"Ouch!" When Banai wasn't paying attention, she slipped and was about to fall into the sea.

Lu Nan swiftly grabbed her waist, and seeing Ba Nai's regretful expression, he couldn't help but tease her, "How could you be so careless? Do you want me to teach you how to swim, you water dragon?"

Banami turned her head away in embarrassment: "...Yes."

Lu Nan held Banami's hand and taught her how to swim. Banami learned quite quickly, but she almost accidentally pulled down Lu Nan's underwear while swimming.

"That's great, Lao Ba. If you keep going like this, you'll learn to swim in no time. Just practice more."

Lu Nan looked gratified, as if he had finally raised a child to adulthood.

Banai felt a little embarrassed by his pleased expression.

Seriously, what kind of expression is that? It's like she's Lu Nan's child... If that's really the case, then wouldn't her thoughts be terrible?

Let Banai see him practice some more, and Lu Nan goes ashore to start building sandcastles with Dai Miao.

The sandcastles kept piling up, attracting many people to come and take pictures.

"Hmm, you've piled it up quite a lot." A muffled voice came from behind. Lu Nan turned around and saw Banami holding a small box of fried noodles.

Her ponytail, tied up for swimming, was still down, and she had some water droplets clinging to her body. She was also wearing a light jacket for sun protection.

"Why are you looking at me?" Banami asked. "Aren't you going to keep piling them up?"

"No." Lu Nan found it amusing: "It's just that it's almost lunchtime, and it wouldn't be good for you to eat fried noodles now."

Seeing that her face turned red, Banai then picked up another chopstick of fried noodles and put it in her mouth: "Oh dear, I was a little tired from learning to swim, so I need to replenish my energy. Besides, I specifically bought a small portion, so it won't matter."

Lu Nan raised an eyebrow: "Then give me some, I want some too."

"Oh." Seeing that Banai was handing over the small box, she said with concern, "You, you should eat less. I only bought a small portion; there aren't any more..."

"Okay, okay." Lu Nan picked up his chopsticks and rolled them up tightly.

Slurp slurp—

"Here you go." Lu Nan puffed out his cheeks and handed the small box and chopsticks to Banami.

Banai saw the empty little box and her face turned red with anger: "Lunan! You bastard!!"

Lu Nan took off running, shouting, "I only took one bite!"

"You're going to finish it in one bite?! Stop right there!!"

"I do not want it!"
