Chapter 019 Dinner with The King Part 2

The rain didn't stop, and on the second day it not only did not weaken, but actually intensified. Yue Qin is from Nanyue. According to him, Nanyue often has this kind of weather, so he is used to it. He walks around in various rooms in the cabin all day long, and often runs to the deck in the rain, like a monkey. There seems to be no time to stop.

But the boatman’s expression was not very good. He said that they would pass by Litutan Beach in the evening. The water there is already strong and undercurrents are dense, so they have to be more careful when passing by it. But now that it has rained all day and night, it will be even more dangerous. The only solution now is to speed up and arrive there in the afternoon, so that the risk of crossing the beach will be somewhat reduced in the daylight. No one can help with this kind of thing, and others are simply too lazy to worry about it.

Mei Lin was always cautious. After hearing this, she went to the boatman and asked for some oil paper. She wrapped the clothes of her, Qing Yan and four others, and stuffed a fire note in each bag just in case. As for Murong Jinghe and Muye Luomei, it was really not her part to worry about them.

Upon seeing this, Qing Yan thought about it and decided to be more careful, so he gave Murong Jinghe’s important things the same method. Murong Jinghe saw something strange and asked casually. When he heard that this overly cautious approach came from Mei Lin, he gave up his original intention of making fun of her. His heart felt soft and sore for a while, and there was still some unexplainable jealousy.

"She is always so careful..." He murmured in a voice that only he could hear. After saying this, he looked out the window of the boat where the rain was like beads. His eyes couldn't help but become misty as he recalled the past.

Qing Yan raised his head and glanced at him, saying nothing and unable to say anything.

As expected, everyone gathered together during lunch. It had never been so lively since leaving Jingbei. According to Murong Jinghe's wish, everyone ate at the same table, regardless of seniority. Even the two female guards of Muye Luomei were called to sit in together.

Muye Luomei felt a little strange. When she was marching and fighting, she ate and slept with her soldiers. It wasn't that she couldn't bear it, but she could see Mei Lin when she raised her eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable. Even she herself didn't understand why she just didn't like this woman. Could this be a conflict of nature?

Mei Lin could not understand her thoughts, because Qing Yan had to serve Murong Jinghe, and she had to sit next to Qing Yan, so she was only separated from Murong Jinghe by one person. This was nothing at first. She thought that she had nothing to do with him anymore, so there was no need to deliberately avoid him. But whenever she saw that Qing Yan couldn't eat anything because he was serving him, and couldn't help but put some vegetables into Qing Yan's bowl, she would feel that the hand holding the vegetables was being stared at by a vicious beast, and a sense of danger arose spontaneously. 

For this reason, she was very angry, thinking that he is no longer her master, and she can do whatever she likes. So, despite the trembling feeling all over her body, she clamped down even more vigorously. After a while, Qing Yan’s bowl was piled like a hill.

"That's enough, A Mei." The others didn't say anything, but Qing Yan felt embarrassed at first.

Mei Lin raised her head just in time to see the gloomy look in Shigui's eyes. She felt inexplicably guilty. Then she saw his untouched chicken legs that had been sandwiched in the bowl for a long time. 

She suddenly stood up, leaned over, picked it up, and put it into the bowl. It's just that Qing Yan’s bowl was already full and couldn't be put in. She felt stupid for a moment and wanted to put some of the vegetables into her bowl, but there was still something on the chopsticks.
