Chapter 1338: Chapter 1160: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Nan Feng said, "It’s not that she’s some kind of child queen. More like a mischievous queen, she always loves to play wildly like this. We can’t really do anything about her, so we have to teach her more things, like Martial Arts and swimming, so she can defend herself."

"Exactly, that’s necessary. I’ve been practicing Martial Arts since I was young, but that was forced on me. It’s good that Dabao is willing to learn on her own," Lu Jianxi thought back to her own childhood and then looked at the present Xia Dabao, feeling that Xia Dabao’s way of life was truly carefree.

On the bamboo raft behind them, Long Aixi saw Xia Dabao making such an effort and really wanted to go up and help Xia Dabao pole for a bit, but Xia Dabao asked him, "Have you played with this before?"

"Actually, no," Long Aixi admitted with embarrassment. Their Dragon Tooth Gang only had some Fish Ponds, not the knack for handling bamboo rafts.

"But, I can teach you," Xia Dabao was also struggling with the poling, and since Long Aixi was willing to share the burden, she was happy to teach.

Long Aixi was delighted and immediately came over. The bamboo raft required balance, and they had to slowly switch places. When they came close to each other, Xia Dabao handed the bamboo pole to Long Aixi, "You pole like this, pole on this side once, then that side once. You can also paddle, if you want to paddle you have to use two oars together. Forget it, you paddle, I’ll do the poling from behind..."

Because Xia Dabao was teaching Long Aixi, their bamboo raft slowed down significantly and fell quite a distance behind Ye Ge’s raft. Axian noticed and probably wanted to remind Xia Dabao, so he suddenly stood up and started walking forward.

Even though Axian wasn’t very heavy, his movement still caused the bamboo raft to shake violently. Xia Dabao almost lost her balance and nearly fell into the water, but Long Aixi, quick-witted and agile, immediately wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her back, and the two regained their balance.

Xia Dabao, with her waist grasped, turned around and found herself facing Long Aixi’s concerned eyes. And he seemed so worried that even after the raft stabilized, he kept holding her waist.

With such strong arm and gripping strength, even though she wasn’t standing properly, she didn’t have to worry about falling into the water anymore.

"Ahem..." It took Xia Dabao a while to feel shy.

Even though Long Aixi was younger, he was still a boy. It wasn’t good to be held like that for long. She gently pushed him away and whispered, "Alright, I’m fine now. Did you learn how to paddle? If you did, then... give it a try."

"Okay," Long Aixi didn’t say much, took the oars, and started paddling, while Xia Dabao, in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, propped herself up with the bamboo pole and turned to scold Axian, "Axian, just sit still, will you? Even though I wouldn’t drown if I fell in, I don’t want to be fishing at this moment!"

Axian, still shaken, obediently sat down, not daring to utter a sound.

My sister is especially fierce today.

...

Happy times always fly by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Long San and his companions had been there for three days.

They had said when they arrived that they would only stay for three days.

The affairs at Dragon Tooth Gang were actually manageable. Even if Long San didn’t go back for half a month, there wouldn’t be a problem, but they really worried about tiring Nan Feng and Ye Ge out.

They had work in the fields, and the house didn’t have any servants or such; they took care of everything personally and always strove for perfection in every aspect. Long San was afraid that Nan Feng might work himself to exhaustion.

Besides, a joyful reunion should not last too long, for sweetness prolonged could become a burden. Despite their reluctance, Long San and his companions still needed to prepare to head back.

Long Aixi, however, was very reluctant to leave.
