"Let's go then, there's nothing here." Xiang Liu said, then turned and went back.
He didn't even bother with the fish that fell to the ground, and Li You and Xiao Qi watched him walk away.
"Host, do you think Xiang Liu is unhappy?"
"It seems like there should be some."
"Are we still leaving? What about the fish?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Let's go. If he doesn't want the fish, we'll put it away for now." Li You waved her hand and put the fish away.
A carriage appeared where they were. Li You got in, and Xiao Qi jumped in as well, sitting by the door to drive.
"Host, shall we set off?"
"Okay, if you get tired, I'll take over." Li You sat inside.
"Host, why do we need to ride in a carriage?" Xiao Qi asked, puzzled.
"I'll change it if I want to."
"Okay!" Xiao Qi had no way to argue.
The carriage had only traveled a short distance when a gust of wind blew by, and suddenly there was another person opposite Li You. She glanced at him.
Xiang Liu looked up at her: "What's wrong? Can't you give me a ride?"
Li You shook her head: "I thought you weren't leaving now."
"I also have things to do, and since I gave you the fish, you still owe me a meal."
Seeing how confidently he spoke, Li You didn't say anything.
"can!"
"Why did you suddenly leave so quickly? What's attracting you outside?" Xiang Liu asked sarcastically.
Li You said expressionlessly, "Let's go for a walk and change our surroundings."
"So fickle?" Xiang Liu said in a low, indistinct voice.
"What did you say?" She only heard the voice, but didn't understand what was said.
Xiang Liu shook his head: "No!"
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Li You didn't press him for details.
As the carriage traveled along the road, she estimated the time and was about to stand up to switch places with Xiao Qi.
Xiang Liu saw her stand up and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to catch the carriage. Let Xiao Qi rest." Li You said casually.
Just as she was about to leave, Xiang Liu stood up, rushed ahead of her, pulled open the carriage curtain, and stepped out.
"I'll drive the carriage, you sit here!" he said, and then he lowered the carriage curtain.
Li You thought it didn't matter who rushed her, she would switch with him later, and sat back down.
A moment later, Xiao Qi walked in and said in a low voice, "Host, why don't you take out that unicorn car you used when you were pretending to be a god? It would be faster that way."
The car curtains are equipped with soundproofing, so if you don't want people outside to hear you, they won't.
Li You smiled and said, "I forgot, I'll change into it later!"
"Ok."
Along the way, they would stop and linger wherever they went.
Xiang Liu drove to a seaside, the very sea where Li You had saved him.
He had a residence underwater, and without much thought, he brought his people here.
He stopped the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said, "Let's get out and rest for a while before continuing!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Qi and Li You stepped off the carriage and saw a sea.
Xiang Liu went out for a walk, brought back a pile of firewood, and soon started a fire.
Li You and Xiao Qi walked over, and Xiang Liu quickly said, "You two go and rest first, I'll go catch some seafood."
Before they could even speak, Xiangliu had already entered the sea.
"Host, why do I feel like we're visiting the Xiang Liu family and he's the one running around taking care of everything?" Xiao Qi scratched her head and said.
Upon hearing this, Li You curled the corner of her lips into a smile: "Isn't this his home?"
"That's true!" Xiao Qi thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
When Xiangliu reached the seabed, he first went to look inside his own seashell.
He hadn't been back for quite a while, and he thought about why he hadn't returned. He guessed that there was something he didn't want to do in the far north.
In his thoughts, he caught a lot of fish, shrimp, and crabs from the seabed.
When he got ashore, carrying his things, and walked towards the two people on the shore, Li You looked over.
A person dressed in snow-white clothes with white hair, a cold expression, and an otherworldly handsome appearance slowly walked in, with the sea forming a stunning landscape behind him.
As she looked at him, a deeper meaning appeared in her eyes, and she said to Xiao Qi in her mind, "Xiang Liu is still quite attractive!"
"Host, you've taken a fancy to her?"
A smile flashed in Li You's eyes: "Who doesn't like a handsome man, especially a baby snake?"
“Host, I remember you don’t like snakes?” Xiao Qi said bluntly.
"Except for good-looking snakes, do you think a black snake can compare to a white snake?" Li You said bluntly.
Xiao Qi thought about it and felt that it made sense: "That's true, the host is attracted to good looks, and it's the same with snakes!"
Upon hearing this, she merely raised an eyebrow slightly, offering no rebuttal.
Li You's gaze had been fixed on Xiang Liu, so he naturally noticed and walked closer, asking, "Why are you staring at me?"
Her gaze swept over him, and Xiang Liu felt inexplicably nervous.
"It's nothing, just bring the things over, I'll do it!" Li You said, turning her gaze away.
Her reaction left Xiang Liu feeling awkward and speechless, but he still handed the things over first.
Li You looked at the seafood that had already been prepared and a smile flashed across her face.
She's such a thoughtful baby snake; she took out an iron pot, intending to steam it and then prepare a dipping sauce.
When the food was ready, Xiao Qi and Li You ate it with great relish. When Xiang Liu decided to leave, he went to catch some more.
Xiao Qi ate happily and said, "Host, it's delicious! Freshly caught food is so fresh!"
"It's been a while since I've had seafood, and it's really delicious to have it once in a while," Li You replied in her mind.
Li You was peeling shrimp. After finally peeling one, she dipped it in the sauce and put it in her mouth. She didn't realize that her eyes were shining.
Xiang Liu sat opposite her. After seeing her eyes, he smiled, picked up a shrimp from the side, and silently began to peel it.
So, just as Li You finished eating one and was about to peel off another, a plate was pushed over from the opposite side, covered with peeled shrimp meat.
She looked up at the person opposite her, Xiang Liu lowered his eyes and said, "I can peel them quickly, you can eat them whenever you want."
Li You withdrew her gaze: "Thank you!"
She picked it up with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, and ate it. When Xiang Liu saw this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Xiao Qi had a crab leg in her mouth, looking around at them. Xiang Liu glanced at her, then put the peeled shrimp in her hand onto her plate.
"Eat!" he said.
Xiao Qi smiled instantly, revealing her teeth: "Okay, okay."
Xiang Liu began to peel the shells silently, while Li You and Xiao Qi ate in silence.
“You eat too, don’t just peel!” Li You said.
Xiang Liu didn't stop what he was doing, and shook his head, saying, "I used to live in the sea, and I ate it all the time."
Li You thought for a moment, picked up a piece of shrimp with her chopsticks, dipped it in the sauce, put it on the plate that had just been taken out, and handed it to him.
"Try peeling it yourself!" Her expression was indifferent, but her eyes were serious.
Xiang Liu looked up and met her dark red eyes. Looking closely, it seemed as if he could see his own reflection in them.
As he watched, he suddenly felt his heart racing and his breathing becoming slightly rapid.
He dared not look any longer, lowered his head to look at the shrimp on the plate, and quickly picked up his chopsticks to eat them.
