The winter in Jiangnan was a bit cold but the sun was out that day. There was a right amount of sunshine and the wind wasn’t too strong. Boating on the water town was quite uniquely poetic.

The slightly chilly winter sun shone on Ning Xiaoyu’s body. She was sitting cross-legged on the bow of the boat with her arms folded, listening to the hustle and bustle of people by the river, while resting with her eyes closed. There was no lack of excitement in the scenic area and these voices were the best hypnotic sound.

In order to record the show, she got up early this morning. When she was about to take a nap, she noticed that the awning boat seemed to be moving slowly.

Curious, she opened her eyes to take a look, only to find that Lu Jingdu had picked up the oar at some point and was standing not far from her, paddling slowly.

From her angle, she could only see Lu Jingdu’s broad back and the back of his head where even the strands of hair were beautiful.

Ning Xiaoyu: “???”

The love system once again transformed into a screaming chicken. 【Ah, ah, ah, Girl, the movie king is actually paddling for you! What kind of treatment is this?! What on earth kind of treatment is this?! It makes mortals green with envy!】

Ning Xiaoyu rubbed her slightly itchy ears. She sincerely suggested, “Actually, you can go see sweet movies, romance novels, or idol dramas. The official CP in them is very sweet!”

The love system rejected it without even thinking. 【I don’t want it. I only want to watch the daily interaction between you and the movie king. I don’t care about other people’s relationship.】

Ning Xiaoyu simply gave up persuading and began to enjoy the feeling of the boat moving.

Not only was the love system shocked, even the audience in the live broadcast room were too stunned to react to this scene. The calmest ones were probably only the two parties concerned, Ning Xiaoyu and Lu Jingdu.

【The movie king…… as the boatman?】

【Ah, this……】

【Wuuwuuwuu, Am I the only one who’s dirty? The movie king is so handsome even when he’s paddling. His waist and back looks so powerful.】

【Those arms…… also looks full of strength. If they are used for lifting, it should be awesome, right?】

【And he got strong legs too. He’s been standing on the bow of the boat without moving.】

【Upstairs, you guys…… did a great job!】

【Is the focus on the waist and arms? The point is, the movie king actually took the initiative to be a boatman! Your ability to grasp the key point isn’t good!】

It should be the first time for Lu Jingdu to do this kind of work. The paddling movements weren’t very skilled and the movements were also very slow, but even so, the boat slowly started to move.

The black-awning boat moved forward at a slow pace and Ning Xiaoyu was able to see more of the scenery along the shore.

When ashore, the most eye-catching thing by the river was the teahouse, but in fact, the scenic spot was very large, leaving that part, one would enter a wider area.

There were various shops selling specialty foods and items on the street.

The crowd was buzzing with activity.

Sitting in a boat and looking at the world was a different experience from standing on the street. The speed of the boat was slow and time seems to deliberately slow down.

Looking up at the people on the shore was also a whole new experience.

There were several stops by the river. Lu Jingdu stopped once on the way and asked a passerby to take a photo for them.

The passerby happily accepted his request.

Lu Jingdu held the oar while Ning Xiaoyu sat on the bow of the boat. The passerby stood against the flow of people, casually snapping a photo from an excellent angle.

At this moment, there was a din of people on the shore, but the black-awning boat was as quiet as ever.

The wind was calm, the water was clear, and the sunlight was mild.

After taking a photo and completing the day’s task, Lu Jingdu continued to paddle slowly.

The oar cut through the water, creating ripples. Half an hour later, the two had covered most of the scenic spots.

———

The matter of Lu Jingdu serving as a boatman for Ning Xiayu quickly spread to the ears of the other guests.

Shen Yueyue had a rejoicing expression on her face. Fortunately, she slipped away quickly and didn’t stay behind, otherwise wouldn’t she have spoilt the atmosphere?

The other guests had mixed expressions.

Rescuing Lu Jingdu once would get this kind of treatment?

Had they known…… they would have gone to rescue him too!

Too bad no one knew.

Mu Jiajia pursed her lips and asked Ning Yuwei, who was beside her, “This…… Ning Xiaoyu and Lu Jingdu, they……”

Ning Yuwei said expressionlessly, “It’s impossible for them. The elders will not agree.”

Mu Jiajia was a little confused. “But, Lu Jingdu’s father is not around anymore.”

Ning Yuwei sneered. “Uncle is gone, but aunt is still here. Aunt is someone who values equal social status and she won’t even take a look at those with a bad family background. It just so happen that Ning Xiaoyu belongs to the type of person she won’t even threw a second glance.”

After saying that, Ning Yuwei took a deep breath and continued, “Unless Lu Jingdu has a complete falling out with his mother. However, no matter how much they have disagreements, Aunt has raised him until he’s in his early teens. It’s impossible for him to really disrespect Aunt.”

Mu Jiajia nodded. “I see.”

Ning Yuwei and her group took a lot of photos on the road.

Two of the four of them were female celebrities and most actresses have very high requirements for photos. The angle must be good and the ones where their expression wasn’t managed well wouldn’t pass. After taking photos, they also have to P^[1]photoshop; edit the picture. If not, they wouldn’t post it.

Their group did over a hundred photos but none of them fully satisfied Ning Yuwei.

Ling Zige and Xu Cheng smiled until the corners of their mouths stiffened.

Ning Yuwei reluctantly picked out one photo before saying, “Let’s go to the park and try the green tea shortcakes.”

The others hurriedly said, “Okay, go, go, go.”

———

While the others went to the park, Ning Xiaoyu and Lu Jingdu went ashore.

It can only be said that the 100 yuan package wasn’t a bad deal.

After coming ashore, they rested for a while.

Having just travelled on the boat, the two of them were a bit uncomfortable. After resting for more than ten minutes, Ning Xiaoyu was ready to set off again, when, out of nowhere, a girl came forward holding a horse in one hand. The girl rambled on, “Xiao Yu, I’m your fan. Are you tired from walking? I brought over a pony. You can ride around the scenic spot. It will be much easier.”

【???】

【!!!】

【It’s no doubt a true fan!】

【So, our Xiao Yu has become so salty that a fan even sent pony as a replacement for walking?】

Ning Xiaoyu herself was a little surprised. “That-, is it possible to ride a horse in here?”

The fan smiled and said, “Yes, this horse has a certificate and can be ridden.” Saying so, the fan enthusiastically added, “Go ahead, Xiao Yu, it’s very docile.”

Ning Xiaoyu nodded. “Then thank you.”

The fan had a very joyous round face. Hearing this, she waved her hands and smiled brightly. “It’s fine, Xiao Yu, I’ll lead you on the way.”

Before Ning Xiaoyu could speak, Lu Jingdu asked, “Won’t it be too much trouble for you?”

The fan shook her head and was just about to say that it was no trouble at all, when Lu Jingdu took the rope from her hand and said flatly, “I’ll do it.”

【Love System: Ahhhhhhhh!】

【Love System: How can this man be this good?! Ahhhhh!】

Ning Xiaoyu sat on the pony and travelled through the crowd. As the fan said, the pony was indeed very docile. It walks slowly and wasn’t high from the ground so it feels very safe.

During this period, the fan on the side kept blowing rainbow farts^[2]flattery to Ning Xiaoyu, “Xiao Yu, I’ve liked you for a long time. I hope you will be increasingly well in the future.”

Ning Xiaoyu lips curled up in a smile. “Thank you for liking me.”

The fan was very talkative and she said, “Did you take a photo on the other side of the moat? I’ll take a few more for you so you can have a lot of choices.”

Ning Xiaoyu didn’t care about this but since the fan was so enthusiastic, she let her help take a few photos.

Thus, the fan took their camera and snapped a lot of pictures.

In order to thank this fan, Ning Xiaoyu bought a lot of food for her.

【Xiao Yu truly spoils her fans!】

【Fans spoils Xiao Yu too!】

【I love it, I love it!】

When they reached the busiest part of the scenic area, the pony could no longer move around in it. The fan looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, Xiao Yu, my horse can only move in that area, you……”

Ning Xiaoyu waved her hand. “It’s all right, thank you.”

The fan wanted to say something more, but at this time, four people came over with a sedan chair, and one of them yelled, “Xiao Yu, take this sedan chair!”

【???】

【!!!】

【Another group of fans?】

【I’m so happy. Our Xiao Yu is really popular. She has so many fans in the area.】

【First a pony, then a sedan chair. What else will the fans bring out for transportation?】

【Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard. Look at the way they’re dressed up.】

These four porters, both male and female, were all festively dressed with red ribbons tied in their hair. They looked like Jianghu people from a costume drama.

Generally speaking, there would be chargeable things in some scenic areas, such as carrying sedan chairs and the like. This kind of thing was designed to provide tourists the experience of using sedan chair like in ancient times.

Ning Xiaoyu visited most of the scenic spots but didn’t come across it yet and so the fans, thinking of her, directly carried the sedan chair in front of her.

The love system looked pleased. 【Girl, you’re really popular, there are so many fans who love and spoil you.】

Meeting so many lovely and kind fans all at once, Ning Xiaoyu herself was stunned.

Although it was true that she’s very salty, it’s not to the point that she didn’t even want to walk.

However, the fans were so enthusiastic that she couldn’t bear to reject them. They looked like they really wanted to give her a lift.

The fan who was the first to greet her smiled straightforwardly. “Xiao Yu, hurry up and get on. We’ll carry you wherever you want to go.”

【Wuuwuuwuu, fans are spoiling Xiao Yu too much.】

【Xiao Yu, us fans will always strongly back you!】

【The movie king on the side seems to have been ignored by everyone?】

【Laughing to death. It seems that there’s nothing for the movie king to do?】

【Tsk, tsk, tsk, the fans are too strong, the movie king have no role to play.】

At this time, a female fan took the initiative to speak to Lu Jingdu and said, “The sedan chair is quite big, do you want to get in too?”

Lu Jingdu’s brows went up slightly. “Is it all right if I also get in?”

The others smiled and said, “It’s all right, don’t worry. This sedan chair is originally meant for two people.”

Lu Jingdu nodded. “Then thank you all.”

Saying so, Lu Jingdu also got into the sedan chair.

【???】

【Ah, this……】

【Shocked! Once again, the movie king shares our Xiao Yu’s light?!】

【Since meeting our Xiao Yu, it seems that the movie king has gone forever on the path of eating soft rice?】
