Dugu Jingyao is reborn as Li Chu's beloved

Chu Xinghan remained silent. Dugu Jingyue was delighted with the milk Dugu Jingyao had prepared specifically for her, but Dugu Moyan's words had turned her displeasure on her. She glared, "Brother, what are you talking about? Are only children allowed to drink milk? Besides, I'm not a child anymore!" With a snort, she turned away. Dugu Jingyao shook her head slightly and patted Dugu Jingyue's head. "Yu'er, don't pay attention to your cousin. What he's saying is nonsense. I prepared the milk just for you. If they don't want to drink it, forget it." Dugu Jingyue's smile returned after hearing her sister's words, and she happily drank the milk. (Ever since Dugu Jingyao's rebirth, especially after she had registered Dugu Jingyue as the former princess, which had led to her mother's promotion, Dugu Jingyue had become Dugu Jingyao's unwavering fangirl.) Chu Xinghan was amused by this innocent little girl, while Dugu Moyan was the only one who wondered how she could change her ways faster than turning the pages of a book!

After a while of eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing, Dugu Moyan felt a bit bored and suggested, "How about we go fishing?" The Dugu Jingyao of the past would have definitely gone with him, but the reborn Dugu Jingyao, having experienced so much, had become much calmer. But she couldn't let anyone see too much. After all, the Dugu Jingyao of the past was known for climbing trees to get bird eggs and diving into the river to catch fish! So, he made an excuse: "I'd love to go, too, cousin, but look at what I'm wearing today. It's really not convenient to go down to the river." Dugu Moyan took a look and realized it wasn't quite right. He thought: Why not wear something more comfortable when going out? Jingyao had never liked wearing these clothes before; it was strange. Unable to find any other options, he asked Dugu Jingyue if she wanted to go. Even though she had just gotten mad at Dugu Moyan, it hadn't dampened her desire to go. Besides, it wasn't a big deal, so she had already calmed down. But he had just changed his clothes and had no other clothes to change into. Even if he wanted to go, he couldn't. He could only say with a little regret: "I won't go. My clothes can't go into the water. Besides, I only brought one set of clothes to change into. I've already changed them. If they get wet again, there will be nothing to change into." Dugu Moyan saw that there was no other way, so he could only pull Chu Xinghan to go with him. First, Chu Xinghan was a man from outside the family and couldn't stay with his two sisters all the time. Second, it would be so boring to go alone. He brought Chu Xinghan here just to keep him company! So the two of them ran to the river. The water was crystal clear. They took off their shoes, rolled up their arms, rolled up their sleeves, and went into the water with wooden pitchforks.

After all, it was still spring, and the river water was a little cold when it first touched the water. Dugu Moyan stepped in and was pulled back by the cold. He wanted to give up, but when he saw Chu Xinghan just frowned slightly, he stepped into the lake with both feet. This hateful desire to win immediately took over, and he stepped into the river regardless of the coldness just now. Dugu Jingyao sat on the mat and looked at the scene in front of him and shook his head, thinking: This cousin is still the same as in the previous life, with a childish mind. In contrast, it’s no wonder that he felt a little moved by Chu Xinghan. Dugu Jingyue’s eyes lit up when he saw them catching fish over there. Dugu Jingyao couldn’t help it: "Yuer, if you really want to go over, just go to the lake and watch them catch fish. Just don’t go into the water." After getting permission, Dugu Jingyue took Zhishu and skipped to the lake. The two were busy spearing fish, with Dugu Jingyue directing them from the side. Dugu Moyan speared fish quickly, but he only caught one fish after five or six attempts. On the other hand, Chu Xinghan was neither anxious nor impatient, and although he didn't spear many fish, he could still catch one fish after two or three attempts. In this way, the two of them speared more than a dozen fish.

Satisfied with their bountiful catch, the two men went ashore and asked the servant to wipe their feet with a towel while the others packed the fish. Three of the fish were taken out for grilling, and the remaining were divided into three baskets: one for each of the Wang Mansion, the Hou Mansion, and the Dugu Mansion. After returning and sitting down to rest for a while, the three of them smelled the aroma of grilled fish. Dugu Jingyue took a deep breath and exclaimed, "What a nice smell!" Soon, the servant brought the grilled fish up. Dugu Moyan and Chu Xinghan each received one, and the other was shared between the two sisters. Soon, everyone was full and satisfied. After sitting for a while, they packed up and returned to their respective residences.
