The villain coaxed to the extreme, and the host was carried away again!

Ran Min sat on the chair opposite to make tea for him, and magically took out five or six small plates from the exquisite drawer under the tea table.

There are osmanthus cake, pea yellow, dragon beard cake, mung bean cake... exuding a light fragrance.

Yan Bai immediately became energetic. He sat up, gently picked up a piece of pea yellow with his jade fingertips, put it to his lips and gently bit a corner, as if to test the taste, and chewed it a few times in his mouth. , and then took another bite of half a piece.

Ran Min couldn't help but laugh when he saw his serious look.

"Yan Bai, you have been eating the dim sum in the palace since you were a child, and now you are trying this country flavor. How do you like it? Is it delicious?"

Yan Bai nodded delicately, "It's okay."

Ran Min felt that he was still cute in this posture and couldn't help but chuckle.

Chengying Lake is very wide, with mountains on one side and vast waves on the other, which is very pleasant. Therefore, it has become a place where dignitaries like to come.

Once you get on your own boat, it is an independent space. What you say and do is very private, so it has become a dating mecca.

Yan Bai looked at the lake. There were not too many boats in twos and threes. Their boat had just left the pier, and the boat next door had also started.

Lord Demon Lord inadvertently glanced at the opponent's ship and saw a familiar figure printed on the window.

Yan Bai took a closer look and saw that it was the male protagonist Sikong Xingchen.

Opposite him was a middle-aged man, whose facial features could not be seen clearly, but he looked very majestic.

The two boats passed each other and soon lost sight of each other's windows.

Yan Bai asked Ran Min.

"Whose boat is on the right side of your boat?"

"I don't know this. Maybe the boatman knows. Can I ask someone to ask?"

"Ah."

Ran Min called a clever person in, and then he learned that it was the painting boat owned by Zhen Guogong.

The Duke of Zhenguo is over seventy years old, and he was definitely not the one on the boat just now.

But the person who can use the painted boat to entertain the prince must be someone from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. Maybe it is also very important. Could it be his nephew?

The male protagonist should be gathering connections again, and Lord Zhen Guo is considered a heavyweight. Could it be that the middle-aged man is one of the male protagonist's old friends?

Yan Bai asked Ran Min.

"How many sons does Duke Zhen Guo have?"

"Who did you just see? But you want to make friends with someone on that boat?"

There was a hint of jealousy in Ran Min's voice that he didn't even notice.

Yan Bai twisted up another piece of mung bean cake and nibbled on it, biting a little bit at a time, as if grinding his teeth.

"I just saw Sikong Xingchen, and I saw a middle-aged man sitting with him, so I'm a little curious about who that person is."

Ran Min's eyes glowed with a glimmer of light.

"Yesterday you seemed extremely dissatisfied with Sikong Xingchen. You kept tearing him down, and now you pay special attention to him. Do you have a grudge? Do you want me to deal with him?"

Yan Bai glanced at him.

"I said you just deal with me if you have a grudge? You don't even ask us who is right and who is wrong? I'm not your ancestor, why are you so filial?"

Ran Min patted his chest, his attitude was normal and he didn't care about his joke at all.

"I treat you as a brother. I will go out of my way to help you, but I only recognize you as a relative and not as a parent."

Yan Bai's hand holding the pastry paused, his expression unpredictable.

"Brother?"

Ran Min is extremely passionate.

"Of course, I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you, and I always want to get close to you. Even if I make friends with you, it's not an exaggeration!"

Ran Min's eyes lit up, hello brother, we can be together for the rest of our lives, so Yan Bai will not disappear.

"Yan Bai, shall we become sworn brothers?"

The corners of Yan Bai's mouth twitched, and he looked at him as if he were a fool.

After a long while, he finally said the words he had suppressed to his lips.

"Who are you taking advantage of? I'm a generation older than you. It would be a big loss to be your brother. I won't do it!"

Ran Min was annoyed, he had completely forgotten about this, and his voice was murmuring.

"It's not necessary to be sworn friends, as long as I can see you often and be your closest person."

Yan Bai stroked his forehead.

"Shut up, you can eat something to stop yourself. You ask the boatman to follow Duke Zhen's boat at a short distance. I want to see who is on the boat."

"it is good."

The two boats were floating near each other. After Yan Bai finished drinking a pot of tea, he saw a middle-aged man standing up and walking to the window on the boat not far ahead.

Yan Bai only saw an angular chin, and the other party closed the window. After that, all the boatmen stood in the corner of the stern farthest from the cabin.

Yan Bai...

No, no?

It couldn't be a ship earthquake as he thought, right?

After a while,

The ship... shook...

Yan Bai really couldn't hold back the quintessence of Chinese culture and blurted out.

"I suck!"

Did the ancients have such a good time? Didn’t you see the indescribable expressions of the boatmen at the stern?

Why go to the trouble of sending the boatman to the stern? The boat is only so big in total, so the boatmen are even more embarrassed, okay?

Ran Min was confused about Yan Bai's sudden excitement. Looking in the direction he was looking at, there was only Zhen Guogong's painting boat, floating nicely, nothing special at all!

"what happened?"

"Uh...it's okay. I saw a big fish swallowing a bird."

Ran Min...

"What kind of fish has such a good appetite?"

"Don't recognize the species."

Ran Min coaxed softly.

"Don't be sad, life or death is determined by fate, and this bird's fate is not good either."

Yan Bai glanced at Ran Min speechlessly.

"Okay, I'm not sad."

……

When Zhenguo Gongfu's boat finally docked, Ran Min's boat also docked.

Yan Bai stood in front of the window and looked outside. Sikong Xingchen got off the boat first and left. The middle-aged man came out later and finally revealed his true appearance.

Ran Min whispered:

"Isn't this the Vice Minister of Zhongshu?"

Yan Bai blinked.

"It turns out that he is the fourth-rank minister of Zhongshu. Is Sikong Xingchen at the end of his rope now? Is this okay?"

Ran Min didn't quite understand the meaning of his words. When he saw the Minister of Zhongshu walking away, he

"Shall we go back?"

"Go back!"

Yan Bai patted the non-existent dust on his body, got up and got off the boat.

Ran Min sent people back to the Prince's Mansion, feeling reluctant to leave at the door.

"Yan Bai, starting from tomorrow, I can't spend all day here with you. I have to go to the barracks to train."

Yan Bai was speechless, looking at the tall and mighty Ran Min with a naive expression.

"So if you don't need to train, do you plan to spend all your time here with me?"

Ran Min looked at him in disbelief.

"Do you dislike me?" He looked serious, as if Yan Bai would run away immediately if he said he disliked me.

"Well, that's not the case..."

Ran Min was a little satisfied now.

"I know you regard me as a brother just like me. I really don't have many friends here in the capital. How about you go and watch me train?"

"What's there to see?"

Ran Min grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"I've spent the whole day with you today, why don't you go and stay with me for the whole day? Military training is very interesting, go ahead!"

Yan Bai looked at the somewhat torn and deformed sleeves, and then at the big wolfdog in front of him. The veins on his forehead were pulsing.

"Okay, okay, I'll go when I have time tomorrow. You should go back quickly."

Ran Min was happy and whispered:

"Does Sikong Xingchen need my help?"

"No need, I have my own arrangements."

"Okay, then I'm leaving. You can come here early tomorrow."

Yan Bai became impatient, waved to him, turned around and went in. Ran Min smiled helplessly and got up with a hint of affection in his mouth.

Xiao Liu, who has been following him, always feels that the atmosphere between the two grown men is a bit strange. Isn't our general's attitude too boring?

He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, shook the messy thoughts out of his head, and followed.
