In the end, Lu Gui still hadn't completed the tempting idea that flashed in his heart. It had nothing to do with the thickness of his face, it was mainly because of his excellent character that he resisted it.
"What are you thinking? The eyes look a little dangerous." Bei Lu took a step back and asked.
"You'll know you're scared. You're really big-hearted. Is it because I'm Buck's captain that you're so relieved to be alone with me?"
"Naturally there are reasons for this, and also that my own skills are not weak. It's not like I haven't defeated a new pirate like you, hum!"
"Is it so powerful, then let me ask you a few questions. Are your skills similar to your sister Peggy?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Then your sister told you that a few years ago, did she beat Buck?"
"I haven't fought before, so I found an opportunity to play tricks on him."
I said that when I mentioned Peggy, Buck had a complicated expression, and that's why!
"Does that mean that you're also no match for Buck."
"right…"
"Then how do you think I recruited him as Captain Buck?"
"Eloquence?" Bei Lu faintly realized what Lu Gui meant.
"Thank you so much, the King of Mouth Escape is a Hokage next door.
It was only after I defeated Buck that he had to join my pirate group. Now, do you still think that the two reasons for you to contact me alone are tenable? "
"Hehe!" Bei Lu tugged her hair from her ear and pretended to be stupid.
"Forget it, don't scare you, take me to Peggy's house, Buck should still be there, let's go meet them."
Lu Gui shook his head and saw that the other party didn't care about what he said. He thought that he was more willing to believe that Buck, who could be so generous after being teased by his sister, wouldn't have evil people around.
"Okay, let's go, I'll take you there." Bei Lu did not hesitate, and led Lu Gui towards Dongcheng.
She walks like a child, bouncing up and down, but it's natural and unpretentious. Before long, she couldn't help but ask.
"Lu Gui, you haven't told me yet, why did you come to see Peggy?"
"There's no need to lie to you. I want to invite her to be a cook on my boat. Buck recommended it."
"Are you going to go on an adventure together?" Bei Lu suddenly stopped, came to Lu Gui in three or two steps, grabbed his arm and pressed his body over, his eyes still shining.
"Uh~ I can say that." Feeling the softness in his arms, Lu Gui couldn't help but sigh that summer is so good.
"Oh, what a pity, if you had come a year earlier, maybe Peggy would have joined you!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Peggy betrayed our sisters and promised not to get married before the age of 30, and got on with a young doctor who passed by Y Long Island." Bei Lu let go of Lu Gui's arm and said with a melancholy expression.
"Really married?"
"Not only that, but now that she is six months pregnant, do you think she can still accept your invitation?"
This is really unfortunate. Without this knowledgeable cook, it would be troublesome to find someone who suits you.
The two continued to move forward, Lu Gui was thinking about his thoughts and did not speak, and Bei Lu was also a little silent, and occasionally turned his eyes to Lu Gui.
A few minutes later, Bei Lu was not calm, approached Lu Gui again, and expressed her thoughts.
"Captain Lu Gui, there is a high probability that Peggy will not be able to go. You might as well find someone else, such as me."
"You? Your cooking skills are as good as Peggy's?" Lu Gui looked at Bei Lu in front of him, thinking that this would be a good candidate.
"Of course, I'm one year older than Peggy, and she has been learning cooking with me since she was a child."
"Then why didn't you participate in the cooking competition just now, and you went over with your head covered, as if you were afraid others would recognize you."
"I was...that was..." Bei Lu struggled for a while, but couldn't continue.
"Is there anything I can't say?" Lu Gui was curious. To make such a straightforward person hesitate, she must have done something that she felt ashamed.
"Anyway, my cooking skills are definitely fine. If you want to invite me on the boat, you can decide." Bei Lu still didn't say the reason, left this sentence and left in a hurry.
"What are you running for!" Lu Gui smiled and followed.
This time, it was really silent all the way. It took the two of them nearly half an hour to finally arrive at the downstairs of Peggy's house.
At this time, Buck and a couple of men and women also came out of the house. Looking at the woman's appearance and belly, Lu Gui knew that they were Peggy and her husband.
"Buck."
"Captain, you're here so soon, and I'm going to find you."
On the other side, Peggy saw that Belle was also there, and walked over with her stomach.
"Cousin, why did you come here with Big Brother Buck's captain? Could it be that you also went to the food competition?" Peggy asked in surprise after seeing Belle.
"I just went over to see who was participating, and sure enough, there wasn't a single one.
Don't worry, I faked it. "Bellu took Peggy's arm naturally and said indifferently.
"You really..."
"Okay Peggy, let's not talk about this for now. Since Captain Buck is also here, let's go back to the house and sit down and talk." Peggy's husband interrupted the conversation between the two sisters with a smile.
"Well, I'm too lazy to talk about her anymore.
Brother Buck, and Captain Lu Gui, let's go into the room and talk, it's noon, let's chat while eating. "
Peggy and Belle both have red hair, which should be inherited from the family. It's just that the way she talks now is quite different from what Buck described before. Maybe it's the reason for her upcoming motherhood.
A few people entered the house, and Bei Lu went to the kitchen to cook, and the four of them sat together and chatted.
"Captain Lu Gui, your intention, Brother Buck, told me about it, but you also saw it. It's really inconvenient for me to go to sea with you now, and I'm really sorry to let you go all the way for nothing."
"It's me who should say sorry, you didn't know we were coming.
Congrats on getting married and having a baby, we had guessed before that you would be what you are now, but we thought we should try our luck. "Lu Gui pointed to Buck and smiled.
"I didn't expect that I would get married and have children so soon. Brother Buck was shocked when he first saw it.
This is my husband Owen, he is a doctor. Although I can't go to your ship, I heard Big Brother Buck talk about what you have experienced before. Isn't that kid named Mark your reserve ship doctor?
My husband has a lot of books on medicine and his own experience in seeing a doctor. I can give them all to you, and maybe they can help the child. "
"Then I'll thank you and Owen for Mark." Lu Gui said happily, and then thought about Beilu's desire to get on the boat on the way here, so he took the opportunity to say it and see what the other party had to say.
"Beilu wants to go to sea? That's not bad, she does often say that staying on Dragon Island all the time is meaningless.
Before I met Owen, I even made an appointment with her to form a pirate group on the day she turned 20 and go out to sea together! Ha ha. "
The two sisters looked the same when they laughed, but from this we could see the general character of Peggy in the past.
Owen basically didn't talk much, just watched silently, and occasionally nodded with a gentle smile. The two made up a family, but they complemented each other.
"I'm curious about one thing. Why did Belle go to the food competition with her face covered, instead of participating as a contestant."
"You're going to take her to sea, so do you want to know more about your crew?" Peggy said, looking at the landing rules.
Naturally, she would not object to Bei Lu's departure. With Buck as bailout, she believed that Lu Gui was also a person worthy of trust.
"I have this idea. If she is really good at cooking, it will save me and Buck the time to keep looking."
"You can rest assured in terms of cooking skills, Bei Lu is much better than me, as for your question.
In fact, it's nothing. When Big Brother Buck was in Y Long Island, Cousin Beilu happened to go to the Food Island to study, so he didn't know Beilu's existence.
When my cousin came back from further studies, I wanted to repay the care that the chefs on the island have given to our sisters over the years, and to pass on what I have learned from the food island to everyone.
Everything was going well at first, but when it was about to start, Bellu suddenly lost her sense of taste. "
"how so?"
"Yeah, we were also thinking, how could this be? For a chef, losing his sense of taste is equivalent to ruining her career.
Bei Lu, who had difficulty accepting the reality, failed to appear at the event she held, causing all the chefs on the island to wait for a long time.
She also didn't want others to know that she had lost her qualifications as a chef. People on the island misunderstood that she had learned to be arrogant and arrogant, and ignored them. This matter has not been explained clearly until now.
Belle and I thought about many ways, but we couldn't figure out how to recover the lost sense of taste.
By the second year, my palate was gone. "
When Peggy said this, her emotions were inevitably affected, and Owen immediately put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her:
"Don't worry, I will definitely cure you."
"What do you mean, your family has this genetic disease of loss of taste?"
This story is really twists and turns, and Lu Gui and Buck were stunned when they heard it.
"It can only be because of this. Don't look at my personality, but I'm not as capable as Belle. I'm very disappointed that I can't improve the cooking skills I love. After that, I tried to restore my sense of taste and failed again and again. She committed suicide.
But fortunately, Irving saved me, he encouraged me, helped me, and brought me out of despair.
Although I still haven't regained my sense of taste, I have seen it, and I have no fear in my heart with Owen by my side. "
Looking at the two of them snuggling together and holding hands tightly together, Lu Gui felt that he didn't need to eat lunch, he was full.
"I really didn't expect you to encounter such a thing. I'm very lucky to see you so happy today." Buck said with emotion.
"I also consider myself very lucky, but I have Irving by my side, and it doesn't really mean that I can recover.
But Bei Lu never gave up. She believed that there must be a way to cure him. She didn't want to wait here.
I used to worry about her going to sea alone, but now it would be better if you could accept her and take her away. "
"I don't need the mercy of others. If it is for this reason that I agree to take me, then I would rather not go."
