The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

Lou Yunsi, Luo Yun and Wangcai prepared various kinds of watermelon delicacies. Wangcai put several tables together according to Lou Yunsi's instructions, forming a rectangle shape and placed it in the yard. He then found some pieces of cloth to cover the tables. He then asked Luo Yun to pick some fresh flowers and put them in several vases, placing a vase at a certain distance. It looked very grand.

Then all the watermelon delicacies were placed on the table, and plates, bowls, chopsticks, etc. were put on it. Everything was ready, waiting for Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke to arrive.

After a while, Fan Ziren, Li Shenning and Xiao Shenke came. They felt very fresh when they saw the decorations in the yard. There was also a table full of different kinds of watermelon delicacies. They were stunned.

Seeing that everyone was present, Lou Yunsi called everyone over and said, "Our watermelon banquet is about to begin tonight. You can pick whatever you like, take it to your seat, and sit down to enjoy it carefully."

So, everyone started to choose. Li Shenning saw a bowl filled with something red, which looked like a watermelon, but not quite like a watermelon. There was also some ice in it. She asked, "Sixth Madam, what is this?"

Lou Yunsi introduced: "This one with ice cubes is called watermelon smoothie. It's so refreshing to eat watermelon smoothie in summer. Come and try it."

Li Shenning couldn't wait to take a bite and said, "Wow, what is this watermelon? It feels so cool and refreshing. It's so delicious!"

Lou Yunsi replied: "That's watermelon smoothie!"

Seeing Xiao Shenke still watching, Luo Yun quickly stepped forward and said, "Guard Xiao, try this watermelon cake. I steamed it and it's really delicious."

Luo Yun looked at Xiao Shenke lovingly. Li Shenning saw through the trick and walked to Xiao Shenke and said, "Miss Luo Yun, I want to eat watermelon cake too. Please give me one too."

Luo Yun said disdainfully: "If you want to eat it, take it yourself!"

Li Shenning continued to tease, "Why do you give it to Xiao Shenke when he can eat it, and you let me take it myself when I want to eat it?"

After saying that, he even pushed Xiao Shenke's hand, but Xiao Shenke ignored him. Luo Yun said shyly, "Guardian Xiao is not like you. He eats everything. I...I...I just recommended some delicious food to him."

Luo Yun didn't know what he was saying. At this time, Xiao Shenke spoke: "Do you want to eat next time?"

What Xiao Shenke meant was that Luo Yun always prepared delicious food with Lou Yunsi. If Li Shenning offended Luo Yun, she would not have any share of the delicious food in the future. Upon hearing this, Li Shenning immediately shut up and walked aside to choose.

Xiao Shenke silently picked up the watermelon cake and ate it. Luo Yun was so happy that he thought: Was Guard Xiao protecting me just now? So happy, hehe.

Luo Yuntian smiled and asked Xiao Shenke: "Guard Xiao, is the watermelon cake delicious?"

Xiao Shen Ke nodded.

Wangcai brought out a large basin, and Lou Yunsi introduced it, "This is tonight's artwork, a watermelon sculpture, carved by a few of us. Come and have a look, isn't it very special?"

Li Shenning took a look and pointed at a spiral watermelon sculpture and said, "Hey, Wangcai, why did you carve a pile of shit? It's so ugly! It looks a bit out of place in this exquisite carving. Come and see!"

Fan Ziren glanced at Lou Yunsi and his face changed. He guessed that this was carved by Lou Yunsi. He wanted to cheer her up, so he said, "Guard Li, what are you looking at? This is a cloud, rolled up layer by layer."

Luo Yun and Wang Cai were laughing. Fan Ziren knew he might have guessed wrong. Xiao Shenke said, "Is this a chicken coop?"

Lou Yunsi was speechless and said, "Isn't this a flower? How come there is shit and a chicken coop..."

Seeing Lou Yunsi's unhappy look, Fan Ziren hurriedly said, "This is a special flower. It may not look impressive, but it is actually unique. It shows its infinite possibilities. People can see its different shapes, which proves that it is ever-changing and exists here in a unique way!"

When Lou Yunsi heard Fan Ziren's praise, she thought: What a guy! Guard Fan really knows how to coax people! Praising people is also an art. Guard Fan is awesome!

The others didn't know what to say when they heard this. Li Shen Ning thought to himself: Amazing, even a fine sculpture was praised to the sky by the general. It turns out that when facing the person you like, even a clumsy King Kong mouth can become smooth talker.

Lou Yunsi took the opportunity to introduce the rabbit watermelon she carved and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

After asking this question, Lou Yunsi looked at everyone proudly and thought: This is my most powerful work. It’s so simple, you should know it by now.

This time, Shawshank spoke first: "Rat?"

Lou Yunsi thought she had heard it wrong, and said, "Brother, this is clearly...how did it turn into a mouse?"

Xiao Shen Ke stood aside without saying anything. Seeing Xiao Shen Ke's bewildered look, Luo Yun stepped forward and said, "Madam, your carving is so unique that it's normal that Guard Xiao can't guess it. Also, Madam, Guard Xiao is younger than you, and you still call him big brother. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Lou Yunsi said speechlessly: "It's just a casual name, Xiaoyun, you are protecting Guard Xiao like this now, there are still many days to come!"

Xiao Shenke still didn't understand what it meant. Luo Yun blushed when he heard it and was too shy to speak.

Lou Yunsi looked at Li Shenning and Fan Ziren again, and Li Shenning blurted out: "It's a pig!"

Lou Yunsi asked: "How can you tell it's a pig?"

Li Shenning analyzed: "Look, two big ears, a fat belly, a pig nose with two holes on the face, a slightly raised butt, and a butt that's all raised. You can tell at a glance that it's a pig!"

Lou Yunsi suddenly felt dark clouds gathering in front of her eyes, and thought: I look like a rabbit to me, but why do they think I am either a mouse or a pig? Is it me who is blind, or are they? I am so drunk!

Fan Ziren was afraid that he might have guessed wrong, so he didn't dare to speak. He just stood aside and watched. Seeing that Lou Yunsi looked a little disappointed, he thought of changing the subject and said to her, "Are these the latest delicacies you have researched? Each one is very exquisite."

Lou Yunsi still couldn't forget that everyone guessed her rabbit wrong, and said, "But you couldn't guess that it was a rabbit."

Li Shenning opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "It's a rabbit!"

Fan Ziren glared at Li Shenning, and Li Shenning immediately said, "Sixth Madam, the watermelon rabbit you carved is so exquisite that we couldn't recognize it. Whoever gets to eat the watermelon you carved will be very happy."

After Li Shenning finished speaking, he looked at Fan Ziren and said, Fan Ziren immediately picked up the rabbit and said, "Can you give me this rabbit as a reward?"

Before Lou Yunsi could react, she saw Fan Ziren holding the watermelon rabbit in his hand. After realizing what was happening, she said, "Try it!"

Fan Ziren put it in his mouth and said as he ate it, "It's very sweet and delicious!"

Seeing that Fan Ziren was enjoying his meal, Lou Yunsi smiled happily. Seeing that Lou Yunsi smiled, Fan Ziren couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, as if there were many heart-shaped bubbles surrounding the two of them in the air.

Lou Yunsi looked at the heart-shaped bubbles in front of her and reached out to catch them. "Madam, what's wrong? It's not raining!"

Lou Yunsi was brought back to reality by Luo Yun's voice. She looked at her outstretched hands, quickly retracted them, then pretended nothing had happened and continued eating.

When Fan Ziren saw Lou Yunsi's every move, every frown and smile, his heart began to beat fast. At this moment, he had fallen in love with her and was deeply fascinated by her.
