The more Lou Xi tried to avoid, the tighter Qin Mobai held her in his arms, not allowing her to escape his grasp, determined to kiss her.

She giggled, constantly dodging.

The balcony was filled with Lou Xi’s melodious laughter, along with the setting sun’s glow on the lake.

Lou Xi felt that ever since she came to Dali, she felt completely relaxed, her fatigue entirely gone.

After the playful tussle with Qin Mobai, she was only slightly out of breath.

Seeing Lou Xi a bit tired, Qin Mobai stopped teasing her.

"Alright, are you hungry? Let’s go downstairs for dinner." Qin Mobai transitioned from playful to serious in just two seconds.

"Hmph, you’re going to eat delicious food in front of me again and make me drink porridge? Qin Mobai, I’ve seen through you! If I’m having porridge today, you must join me!" Lou Xi couldn’t drink porridge alone anymore! She was determined to drag Qin Mobai down with her.

"I’ve added some side dishes for you."

"What dishes?" As long as it wasn’t bland white porridge, any side dish would make her happy.

"Pickled vegetables."

"..."

In the end, Lou Xi was reluctantly taken downstairs by Qin Mobai.

They weren’t staying at a hotel, but at the best inn by Erhai Lake, where the rooms faced the sea and opened right onto the lake.

The staff at the inn wore their own clothes, so it was hard to tell who were employees and who were guests.

Qin Mobai took Lou Xi directly to a window-side private dining room, urging them to serve quickly as his lady was starving.

Lou Xi sat in the chair, thinking about how Qin Mobai would feast in front of her again while she could only eat bland porridge, making her feel life was very dull.

At that moment, the door of the private room was knocked; it was the waiter bringing the food.

When the door of the private room opened, both Lou Xi and Qin Mobai looked toward the door, only to find that the waiter coming in was none other than Bai Lu!

Bai Lu almost dropped the dishes in her hands when she saw the two people inside.

Bai Lu looked at the two inside in surprise, "What are you doing here?" She only heard from the landlady that two distinguished guests would be coming today, never expecting those guests to be Lou Xi and Qin Mobai.

If she had known it was them, Bai Lu would have never brought in the dishes herself.

Seeing Bai Lu, Lou Xi immediately got up from her chair and quickly walked over to Bai Lu.

"First, tell me why you’re here? How did you end up as a server here? Do you know how worried we were when you left without a word?" Seeing Bai Lu relieved Lou Xi, but then she became slightly emotional.

Being caught, Bai Lu knew she couldn’t escape.

"You haven’t had dinner yet, right? Go ahead and eat..."

"Dinner can wait; your matter is more urgent right now!" Lou Xi wasn’t concerned about whether dinner had been eaten or not; she needed to find out why Bai Lu was working as a server here.

Bai Lu remembered last time she sent a message to Lou Xi, which was actually to Lin Qianqian, saying she was in the apartment, only for Lin Qianqian to tell Lu Li. That’s why Bai Lu felt a bit estranged from Lou Xi.

She trusted Lou Xi, but Lou Xi went and told Lu Li, which wasn’t something a good friend would do.

Lou Xi glanced back at Qin Mobai, as if saying, you can leave us for a moment.

Qin Mobai sat in the chair, hesitated for two seconds, then said, "I’ll go make a phone call."

When Bai Lu heard about making a phone call, her whole body tensed up, "Don’t call Lu Li."

"Then I’ll go have a cigarette." But the person claiming to smoke didn’t even have cigarettes on them.
