Back at the ship, Xiu Ying went to her room and saw that there was a new set of clothes on the table. 'Servant Ming must have prepared it for me,' she thought.
While Xiu Ying was changing, she found that her dragon pendant was gone. She then went back into Feng Yu's room to check if it's there. "Feng Yu, have you seen my dragon pendant?"
Xiu Ying went into Feng Yu's room without knocking on the door. She walked in on a half-naked Feng Yu with Ming helping him bandage his wound. She then quickly turned around and apologized.
Feng Yu smirked at Xiu Ying's girly actions. Earlier she exploded at him, nagging like a girl, and now being shy like she has never seen a naked man before.
Honestly, Xiu Ying had seen Mo Fan, and Jin Hai half-naked before, but that's while they were training and when she was a little girl. She had never seen a grown man's upper body part and with so many scars before.
"What do you need."
"Have you seen a dragon pendant around here."
"No."
"Okay. I'll be leaving then."
Xiu Ying walked out of the room. 'Where could I have dropped it.? The cliff!? The river!?'
"What are you thinking about?" Feng Yu's voice sounded from behind her.
She turned around and bumped her head into something hard. 'Ahh. It hurts'
Xiu Ying look up and made eye contact with Feng Yu. She can't believe that this man is so tall. Xiu Ying then took two steps behind and glared at him. Ming came out from behind him and led them to the dining room. During the way there, it was quiet.
The dining room was located in the middle of the ship. It had two big openings on the sides, similar to a balcony with a roof. The openings allow the sunlight to shine into the room, lighting everything up with natural light.
Walking into the dining room Li Yu eagerly ran up to Xiu Ying and hugged her, she hugged him back, carrying him up. "Good morning big brother Ying, how was your sleep last night? Did you sleep well?"
Xiu Ying thought about last night. She then looked at Feng Yu, who stood next to her quietly. Xiu Ying was a bit hesitant to answer Li Yu.
"Well, of course, I did. How about you?"
"I did too. Big brother Ying, who is this man?"
"He's my friend; you can call him big brother Feng Yu."
Li Yu nod is head. Feng Yu smiled at him and patted his head.
"That's a good boy," said Xiu Ying as she put Li Yu down.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Big brother Ying, I have something to show you. Come here."
"Really? I'm excited to see what you got to show me."
Xiu Ying was dragged by Li Yu over to the railings. Feng Yu followed them from behind. When Xiu Ying saw what was outside, she was amazed. It was a water bank full of lotus flowers.
"Isn't it beautiful, big brother Ying?"
"Yes, it's beautiful."
"I've wanted to show you this ever since last night."
"That's so lovely of you. Thank you, Ah Yu."
Xiu Ying lightly finger tap Li Yu's nose and hugged him. This had been the first time in the last five years she had ever been so happy.
Feng Yu, felt an ache in his heart when he heard Xiu Ying called Li Yu, "Ah Yu." The scene of Xiu Ying and Li Yu in front of him looked so familiar.
"It seems like everyone is in a good mood this morning." Li Wei came to the dining room.
"Good morning, uncle."
"Good morning to you too. Did you slept well last night?"
'You too, uncle? Please stop asking me if I slept well last night. It was a nightmare.' Xiu Ying thought to herself. "Yes, uncle. I slept well last night."
Xiu Ying then turned to Feng Yu. "Uncle, this is my friend who'd was injured last night, his name is Feng Yu."
"Nice to meet you, and thank you for your hospitality."
"No worries, I'm happy to help a friend of my nephew. Now let's have breakfast."
Li Wei leads Xiu Ying and Feng Yu to the dining table. Li Yu followed and sat next to Xiu Ying.
"Uncle, what city are we in?"
"We are in Lotus City."
'Lotus City? That means the cliff I fell off from was the same cliff that... Jian Yu fell from,' Xiu Ying thought before saying, "I have never seen Lotus City from the waters; it's beautiful. How long are you going to stay in this town?"
"I will only be staying here for two days at the most."
"Where will you be going next?"
"This river leads to the sea; I will be heading there."
"Can I leave with you? It will only be for a while. I don't want to go back right now."
"You can. I will send your father a message."
"Thank you."
"You also need to send him a message."
The atmosphere became gloomy. Li Wei got up from his seat. "I'm full now; you guys can continue eating. I have some business to deal with in town, so I'll be leaving."
After Li Wei left, the room became quiet. "Big brother Ying, look at me!" Li Yu made silly faces to make Xiu Ying laugh.
"Thank you, Ah Yu. If I'm with you, I will always be happy." Xiu Ying pinches Li Yu's cheeks smiling.
Ming came into the room. "Young master, it's time for your studies."
"Big sis... I mean big brother Ying; I will be going to work on my studies now. I'll come play with you after." Li Yu said, running off with Ming chasing after him.
The room became quiet and awkward.
"Would you like to take a walk?" Xiu Ying cut the awkwardness between them.
"I have a place I need to visit. You can come along if you want too."
"Sure. I can come along."
Xiu Ying and Feng Yu left the ship and head to town.
