The girl frowned slightly, but her voice was soft. “Stop arguing. The fish have been scared away by you.”

“Ohhh, yes.”

Bai Xianyu looked at the small fish she had caught. “This is too small.”

Green Pearl smiled and said, “It’s only been a while. We might be able to catch a big fish later. 1 can help Miss make grilled fish then!”

“True.”

After Bai Xianyu finished speaking, a low male voice came from behind.

“I’ll do it.”

Everyone was stunned.

The guards took the initiative to make way. Xie Xingyun walked over from the middle and glanced at Bai Xianyu. “Give it to me.”

Seeing that the situation seemed to be developing in an unpredictable direction, Bai Li chased the guards and maidservants away.

Bai Xianyu did not give it to him. “It’s only one. At least catch a few more before we grill them.”

Xie Xingyun raised his eyebrows. “Start the bonfire first.”

As he spoke, he took the fishing rod from Bai Xianyu’s hand and looked around. Then, he found a spot and put the hook in.

“Miss, shall we start a bonfire first?”

“Get some firewood first. Once we have firewood, we can start a fire whenever we want.”

“Yes, Miss!”

Only a few people were left in the empty place.

Bai Li stood at the highest point and guarded. There were a few large ships not far away.

Xie Xingyun was standing very close to Pei Ying.

Pei Ying was stunned.

The man was more handsome than any man she had ever seen. He was tall and slender, his face sharp and angular. His nose was high, and there was a smile on his thin lips. It was faint, but it was impossible to ignore.

When she saw Bai Xianyu’s brother, Bai Jingyuan, today, she felt that he was a rare handsome man. But now that she saw Xie Xingyun, she realized what a high-spirited young man looked like.

When Green Pearl and the guards returned with firewood, they saw their Miss’ slightly widened eyes looking at the pile of lively fish under the man’s feet in disbelief.

Xie Xingyun put away his fishing rod and glanced at Green Pearl.

The cook brought out a large pot and began to process the fish.

Green Pearl immediately placed the firewood in her hands in the large pot and began to set fire to it.

Bai Xianyu asked him curiously, “How did you catch so many in such a short time?”

Xie Xingyun lowered his eyes to look at her and smiled meaningfully. “1 used my heart.”

“Weren’t you discussing something with my brother just now? Are you done now?”

“Ehm.”

“Is there anything you don’t understand?” Xie Xingyun glanced at the paper in her hand. “Shall I explain it to you?”

Bai Xianyu glanced at Xie Xingyun. “Why are you so carefree? My brother stays in the house all day to deal with official documents.”

Xie Xingyun said, “I don’t have a family to support. Of course I’m carefree.”

Seeing that the topic was about to change, Bai Xianyu walked over and picked up a fish that had been processed. She set it up, but it was snatched away by Xie Xingyun.

“Sit down.”

Green Pearl also smiled and said, “Miss, please take a seat. There are so many people here. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Bai Xianyu sat down. Pei Ying secretly sized her up. “Miss, can 1 eat some later?”

She smiled. “Sure.”

“Thank you, Miss.” Pei Ying hesitated for a moment before asking, “What’s your relationship with this young master?”

Bai Xianyu thought for two seconds. “Friends, I guess.”

“I see!” Pei Ying subconsciously raised her voice. “Looks like he’s a high-ranking official like your brother?”

“Pretty much.”

At this moment, two guards followed behind Bai Jingyuan. After asking a few questions, they instructed someone to grill one for him.

These two outstanding men were inextricably linked to Bai Xianyu.

When Pei Ying saw that Xie Xingyun had finished grilling one, she had an idea. She walked over and asked, “Can you give it to me? I’m so hungry.”

The man did not turn his head or do anything else. After sprinkling seasonings on the fragrant fish, he stood up.

Pei Ying felt a strong sense of oppression coming over her, and her heart fluttered.

Find a way out?

Wasn’t this the best way out?

If she could please him or Bai Jingyuan, then it would be logical for her to stay. From the looks of it, Bai Xianyu must be from a rich family.

Moreover, she had a premonition!

Before she lost her memory, she must have been the daughter of a rich family. However, she did not know how rich she was.

Just as she was fantasizing, Pei Ying realized that the sense of oppression had disappeared.

She was stunned and realized that Xie Xingyun was already half-squatting in front of Bai Xianyu. In this way, their eyes could just meet.

“There you go.”

Pei Ying’s face was a little hot. She immediately turned around and asked a guard who was grilling fish, “Is that okay?”

The guard said, “What?”

“Have you forgotten? 1 asked you just now whether you could give me this fish?”

The guard frowned as if he was puzzled. “Huh? Are you asking me, but you can’t, Miss. These fish were all caught by Lord Xie. They’re not mine. If he doesn’t agree, 1 have no right to give them to anyone.”

Pei Ying glanced at the spot where Bai Xianyu and Xie Xingyun were. “Got it.”

Bai Xianyu took Xie Xingyun’s grilled fish and took a small bite.

Xie Xingyun pulled the chair over and placed it in front of her. He crossed his arms and tilted his head slightly to watch her eat.

“Don’t look at me.”

“I’m not looking at you. I’m looking at the sea.”

Bai Xianyu could not be bothered to argue with him. At this moment, Pei Ying sat down beside her.

As she was sitting with Bai Xianyu, she was also facing Xie Xingyun.

“Xianyu… Can I call you that?” Pei Ying probed. “Previously, you said that I can’t be your maidservant. Then can we be friends?”

She was very nervous when she spoke. She was already prepared for Xie Xingyun to hear her voice and turn to look at her.

However, to her disappointment, Xie Xingyun never looked away from Bai Xianyu.

Bai Xianyu was a little puzzled. Why was she addressing her as “Xianyu” now when she had been addressing her earlier as “Miss”? However, she had just suffered a calamity and lost her memory. It was normal for her to yearn for friends..
