East Lake, the largest artificial lake in Beijing, is named after it is located in the east part of the city.

The lake here is clear and there are many tourists. The shore is covered with weeping willows and lotus flowers. When the weather is fine, the lake is full of large and small cruise ships, and the lakeside is crowded with various snack vendors, making it very lively.

Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao stood by the lake, looking at the sparkling lake, feeling extremely beautiful.

"Today's weather is sunny, cloudless, and the breeze is blowing. It's perfect for swimming in the lake." Yun Shuiyao excitedly circled around Shen Lian, smiling like a flower. Her lavender skirt was swaying in the wind, which was indeed pleasing to the eye. It makes passersby turn around.

After Shen Lian stared at it for a while, he couldn't help but admire the beauty in his heart.

A small sailboat slowly docked at this time, and the old boatman on the boat slowly stopped the boat. A pair of young lovers walked out of the canopy, holding each other's arms, looking very affectionate.

The man got off the boat first, then stretched out his hand to support his beloved girl, and the two of them walked away lovingly.

When Shen Lian saw it, he didn't know what the man said in the woman's ear. The woman was instantly shy and gave him a few gentle blows, "You are so evil. You were not honest on the boat just now."

The man smiled and pulled the woman towards the inn on the shore, looking impatient.

Shen Lian was envious and wanted to arrest these two people into the Tooth-gnawing Prison.

"Boatman, how do you rent this boat?" Yun Shuiyao walked to the lake and said to the old boatman with a smile.

"Fifty cents an hour. If you row the boat yourself, it's seventy cents an hour." The old boatman replied.

Huh?

Yun Shuiyao felt strange, why is it more expensive if you don't need to row the boat?

"Did you make a mistake? We will pay you twenty cents more for rowing the boat ourselves?" she asked.

"Girl, is this your first time swimming on the lake with your male companion?" The boatman said with an expression that said, "I see right through you."

"Hmm." Yun Shuiyao thought, really surprised. How did this old man know?

"When you get to the lake later, you will know why you paid twenty more coins. Don't you think so, sir?" The boatman's eyes kept looking back and forth between Shen Lian and Yun Shuiyao.

"Haha, I'm an honest person. I don't understand what the old man means. Here, here is seventy cents." Shen Lian cheerfully took out the money and handed it to the boatman, complaining in his heart: It's a pity that I spent these twenty cents in vain.

Yun Shuiyao still looked confused.

Shen Lian is so good at investigating crimes, so he must be very smart. Why did he get confused now? It would cost an extra twenty coins to row the boat by himself. Even if he was rich, he couldn't afford to do this.

She hurried forward, ready to take back twenty coins from the boatman, and asked the boatman to row the boat, but Shen Lian grabbed her wrist.

"Let's go, get on the boat, I'm a good rower, I'll keep you safe."

"This is not a question of safety or insecurity. I can also row, it's just..."

Before Yun Shuiyao could finish speaking, Shen Lian stuffed her into the canopy of the boat.

The old boatman handed the oar to Shen Lian and kindly reminded him: "Young master, you can rest assured that my boat is very stable. As long as you don't move too much, it won't capsize."

"Hey, old man, I don't understand what you are saying at all." Shen Lian smiled.

"Haha, I understand." The old boatman said as if he had seen a lot.

The boat slowly sailed into the middle of the lake. Yun Shuiyao sat on the bow, took off her embroidered shoes, and excitedly stretched her smooth little feet into the water.

Shen Lian took a look and instantly understood why some people suffer from foot fetish.

"Shen Lian, why on earth do we have to pay twenty cents more for rowing our own boat?"

The poor silly girl hasn't turned a corner yet and has been thinking about this problem.

"How could I know?"

Haha, for convenience, but I dare not tell you, for fear that you will kick me off the boat.

"You don't know? Then why don't you ask the boatman to row the boat?" Yun Shuiyao pouted, as if you had confused me.

"Look at how beautiful this East Lake is. With such a beautiful scenery, I don't want anyone else to disturb us. The beautiful memories can only be between you and me." Shen Lian couldn't help but start flirting with the beautiful scenery.

"Bah, bah, bah." Yun Shuiyao's face turned red. No girl in this era who had not left the court had ever heard of such words. Unlike in later generations, even a girl who has never been in love will react when you tell her a dirty joke. Will he say to you with a look of disdain, that’s it? Then he will tell you a more vulgar one.

"There is a boat stopped in front of you. Please paddle over quickly. I'll ask them if they know the reason." Yun Shuiyao suddenly pointed at the boat not far ahead and urged Shen Lian excitedly.

Haha, you have to go there yourself. If you feel shy later, don’t blame me.

"Okay, sit tight." Unable to help himself, Shen Lian became inexplicably excited.

He clearly saw just now that a man and a woman in the small boat entered the canopy, and then the boat started to rock, and the water waves on the lake below the boat went round and round.

As the distance got closer and closer, Yun Shuiyao, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, also noticed something was wrong.

"Why is their boat shaking? It's not like it's in danger. Please hurry up."

The kind-hearted Yun Shuiyao couldn't help but stand on tiptoes and look at the boat in front of her.

When the distance was less than three meters, Shen Lian heard an indescribable sound.

"No, that man is hitting someone! I'll go take a look!" With that said, Yun Shuiyao was about to jump onto the other side's boat.

Shen Lian was shocked and quickly threw down the oar to hold Yun Shuiyao.

"Auntie, are you crazy? Why did you jump on someone else's boat?"

"Didn't you hear that girl shouting? It must be very painful." Yun Shuiyao looked anxious.

Um...it must be really fun!

Seeing Shen Lian hesitate to speak and suppressing a smile on his face, Yun Shuiyao reacted instantly!

Although I have never eaten pork, I have seen pigs running around.

She had never experienced this kind of thing before, but before at Princess Dening's house, the two of them had secretly read a picture novel, and the descriptions in it were clear.

No wonder it’s twenty cents more expensive if you don’t want a boatman. It turns out that’s the reason.

How dare this guy Shen Lian play tricks on me, he knew it from the beginning.

The book is right! Men really don’t have any good things!

"Humph!" Giving Shen Lian a fierce look, Yun Shuiyao got into the boat canopy with a red face, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Rowing!"

"Hahahahaha" Shen Lian couldn't help it and laughed out loud.

"You...you bad boy, you bullied me." There was a hint of crying in Yun Shuiyao's voice.

After all, she is a young lady, so it is very embarrassing.

"Fairy, please respect yourself. It was you who asked me to row the boat over, so how could you rake it away?"

"You!! It's useless for me to be so nice to you. Believe it or not, I will ignore you from now on." Yun Shuiyao turned her head away angrily, her chest rising and falling.

Perhaps the two people's movements disturbed the young couple on the opposite boat, but they ended up. The man walked out of the canopy and rowed the boat away in a slightly depressed tone.

Shen Lian took a look and thought that he had clearly achieved his goal. Why is this guy unhappy?

Oh, I understand, how long has it been? I haven’t even had half a cup of tea yet.

Seeing the other party rowing away, Shen Lian put the oar aside and walked into the canopy to coax Yun Shuiyao.

"Get out, I don't want to talk to you, bad guy." Yun Shuiyao pouted her mouth and said angrily.

"Seeing as I almost died in the line of duty a few days ago, don't be angry."
