Chapter 204 The Confused Little Fairy Remarries Her Father-like God (29)

Chu Yuan was at a loss for words as she watched this scene unfold.

I felt a bit like laughing and crying at the same time.

Because she knew that Shen Xizhou wasn't there to rescue people. The powerful Judge Shen loved all kinds of sports, but he was afraid of water and couldn't swim.

Jumping down now wouldn't help Xue Qing in the slightest.

Moreover, Xue Qing might not have actually fallen just now; if it weren't for Shen Xizhou reaching out his hand...

Chu Yuan strongly suspected that he did it on purpose, a self-inflicted injury ruse.

Soon, the people on the boat threw down lifebuoys, and the boatman also helped, finally pulling Shen Xizhou and Xue Qing aboard together.

Xue Qing was shivering from the cold, but Shen Xizhou was alright.

Kind onlookers draped a fallen coat over Xue Qing's shoulders.

Shen Xizhou probably felt somewhat guilty, so he didn't say anything.

His eyes were fixed on Chu Yuan's direction.

Someone noticed something amiss, their eyes darting around as if they were thinking something. At that moment, Shen Xizhou raised his hand and pointed at Chu Yuan, "I... cough cough, my clerk has some cold medicine. Bring it over so that Judge Xue and I can each drink a packet to avoid catching a cold."

The two boats were a few meters apart, and there was a wind on the river, so it was impossible to hear each other.

But Chu Yuan can read lips...

At that moment, I absolutely hated my own versatility!

After the boats docked, sure enough, Xiao Wu rushed over to Chu Yuan, "Yuan-mei, you have some medicine to prevent colds, right? Shen Ting and Xue Ting fell into the water just now, did you see? Hurry up and hand over your cold medicine!"

Chu Yuan, "..."

She couldn't say no in front of so many people, but she was so angry that Shen Xizhou had succeeded in his scheme!

However, Shen Xizhou didn't gain much advantage either, because she was hard-hearted enough!

I don't want her to soften her heart and take the initiative to make up.

Chu Yuan ignored how Shen Xizhou had taken the cold medicine on the ship, turned around and sat back down in her original seat, continuing to chat and laugh with her girlfriends.

However, after what just happened, the topic of conversation suddenly shifted to Shen Xizhou and Xue Qing:

"Hey, you guys think that our Chief Judge Shen is 34 years old, which is a bit old, but he's successful in his career, has a great family background, and is so handsome. Why doesn't he find a partner?"

I have a feeling that Judge Xue is here for Judge Shen, right?

From the moment she appeared until now, her eyes have practically been glued to the top of her head. Aside from Judge Shen, everyone else is treated like air in her presence!

"Yes! I feel the same way."

But didn't she know Judge Shen? They looked to be about the same age. These days, men like young, obedient women; Judge Xue clearly doesn't meet that standard!

"Haha, so tender and obedient, are you talking about our Yuan Yuan?"

Unexpectedly being called out, Chu Yuan was speechless and turned her head away: "No, you guys gossip, don't drag me into it."

Qiao Meixin, always eager for drama, said, "Yuanyuan, you're so quiet tonight! Honestly, don't you really have any feelings for Judge Shen? A man like him is a real catch. What does it matter if he's a few years older? Marrying him would make you a ready-made section chief's wife. Besides, he's been treating you quite well, hasn't he?"

Chu Yuan put on a stern face, looking both cute and fierce, "If you keep talking nonsense, don't call me when you play mahjong!"

Sure enough, Qiao Meixin immediately begged for mercy after hearing just that one sentence, "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, you stingy person! We're almost at the place to eat crayfish, we'll get off the boat soon, why should we care about their leaders?"

Once the cruise is over, the officially arranged activities are complete.

We must always leave everyone time for free activities.

Chu Yuan observed that many people were probably going to visit friends, stroll around, have a late-night snack, or sit in a music bar.

Along both sides of the river, besides many distinctive restaurants, there are also many small loft bars built along the river.

The interplay of lights and shadows, the fleeting glimpses of light and shadow, creates a uniquely enchanting atmosphere.

There were about ten people in the group, and Qiao Meixin was very generous, ordering more than ten kilograms of spicy crayfish so that everyone could eat their fill.

A group of people didn't finish until almost nine o'clock.

Chu Yuan did not contact Shen Xizhou at all, and the latter was nowhere to be found.

Anyway, I didn't send her any messages, and after the cruise, I just disappeared.

While scrolling through short videos, Chu Yuan subconsciously glanced at WeChat, but it was completely empty. When she put her phone down, she couldn't help but squeeze it a little harder.

"Yuanyuan, who are you throwing a tantrum at?" Qiao Meixin asked with a smile after paying the bill.

Chu Yuan stubbornly denied it, "No way, you're just overthinking things. Have you paid yet?"

"Alright! We can finally go back and play mahjong!" Qiao Meixin exclaimed as if she had been fully recharged. "Wait a minute, let me send a message to Shu Ting and ask him to find a mahjong table and book a room at our hotel. We'll play until the very end tonight!"

Chu Yuan almost rolled her eyes.

Sister, agreeing to play is one thing, but playing all night is going too far, isn't it?

Before she could even utter those words, Qiao Meixin was suddenly drawn to a song as she walked along the roadside. Looking up, she saw that the song was coming from a music bar called "Fatal" next door.

Qiao Meixin craned her neck to look around and could vaguely see the young man singing on stage.

The deep, resonant bass is so powerful that it's no exaggeration to say it's like having your ears raped.

Qiao Meixin turned and went into the store!

The others, "..."

Several of the women, who had originally planned to find a music bar to relax and enjoy themselves, happily went there upon seeing this.

The bar wasn't big, just two shallow floors with about a dozen booths. The staff's eyes lit up when they saw so many people come in, and they asked everyone where they wanted to sit.

Qiao Meixin, as if in a daze, bypassed the shop assistant and ran straight to the empty booth in front of the stage, making sure that the resident singer could see her seat as soon as he looked up.
