Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 285 A Moment's Thought Across Mountains and Rivers 4

Chu Yuebai shook her head: "No need to thank me, I'm just glad you're alright!"

"You've just recovered, don't drink alcohol!" Qian Zhao said.

Yuanlu smiled and walked over to the table. A while later, Yang Ying and Ning Yuanzhou came over to look at the roasted lamb.

"This lamb smells so good!" Yang Ying said with a smile.

Chu Yuebai thought that they would be dragged to dance later, so she walked over to the person holding the fan.

"You go have a drink, I'll slap you!" she said, extending her hand towards the person.

Ding Hui glanced over there, then looked at Qian Zhao: "Brother Qian."

Qian Zhao sprinkled the seasonings and slowly said, "Go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui handed the fan to Chu Yuebai: "Then I'll trouble Miss Chu."

Chu Yuebai nodded, took the fan, and began to fan herself.

Just then, Ren Ruyi walked over and said to Yang Ying, "Your Highness, let's go dance!"

She pulled Yang Ying and Ning Yuanzhou toward the center of the field.

Ning Yuanzhou reluctantly agreed, saying, "I can't dance!"

"Let's go!" Ren Ruyi pulled him along, leaving no room for refusal.

Chu Yuebai watched them dance while fanning herself.

"It's roasted, bring the lamb over!" Qian Zhao said to the two people next to him.

Chu Yuebai put the fan aside, followed them to the table, and then sat down.

Seeing that the lamb was ready, Sun Lang came over and said, "It's roasted! Miss Chu, why aren't you dancing? Look how happy they are dancing!"

"I can't dance, all I want to do is eat roast lamb," Chu Yuebai said with a smile.

"Haha, that's because Old Qian's skills are good. Give me a piece." Sun Lang put his hand on Qian Zhao's shoulder and said with a smile.

Qian Zhao glanced at him, put a piece of diced mutton on a plate, and placed it in front of Chu Yuebai.

She smiled and said, "Thank you!"

"Old Qian, give me one too!" Sun Lang said, his eyes gleaming.

A moment later, everyone gathered around, and Yang Ying tasted a piece of mutton and said, "It's so delicious!"

“Let me tell you, Lao Qian’s cooking skills are absolutely superb. Chef Wang even wanted to recruit him as his assistant before,” Sun Lang said, standing up.

"Really? Brother Qian, you know so much!" Yang Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Yuebai listened silently, took a bite of the mutton, and found it to be quite delicious.

Qian Zhao remained silent, and Yang Ying continued, "You can take pulses, prescribe medicine, carve seals, and now you can cook. Is there anything you can't do?"

“Of course there are!” Sun Lang said.

"What?" Yang looked over curiously.

"Having children!"

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed in unison.

Chu Yuebai had just swallowed a piece of mutton and wanted to laugh, but accidentally choked: "Cough, cough cough!"

Everyone turned to look at her, and Qian Zhao stared at her expressionlessly.

Chu Yuebai waved her hand and said seriously, "It's nothing, I just think what Sun Lang said earlier makes a lot of sense!"

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter again after she finished speaking.

"Cough, cough!" Chu Yuebai coughed twice more.

"Sister Yuebai, are you alright?" Yang Ying patted her back.

Chu Yuebai glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just choked a little."

"That's good. It wouldn't be good if you choked on your laughter, Brother Qian," Yang Ying joked.

"The mutton is delicious, you should eat more!" Chu Yuebai changed the subject.

Yang Ying smiled and lowered her head to eat mutton, while Ren Ruyi smiled and listened to everyone talking when a plate of mutton was handed to her.

"Is it edible since it has dogwood in it?" Qian Zhao asked tentatively.

She glanced at it and said, "Please replace it for me!"

"Host, is the female lead being suspected?" Xiao Qi asked, looking at the situation outside.

"Didn't you see the plot?" Chu Yuebai took the mutton that Qian Zhao handed her again and continued eating.

"Hmm, Qian Zhao is suspicious of her identity. Host, they're setting off tomorrow. Have you decided how you're going to stay? Will you do the side quest?"

"I haven't decided yet, let's talk about it tomorrow. Even if we're doing a mission, we don't necessarily have to follow them," Chu Yuebai said earnestly as she ate her mutton. Feeling a bit thirsty, she picked up a bottle of wine and took a big gulp.

Her casual gesture, drinking the wine as if it were water, caught the attention of several people.

Yu Shisan suddenly sat down next to her, propping his head up with one hand and handing her a bouquet of flowers with the other, saying in what he thought was a cool way:

"Beautiful lady of Chu, amidst the flowers and moon, with handsome men by your side, wouldn't it be a waste not to share a drink with you?"

Chu Yuebai glanced at him, then turned back and patted her chest with her hand: "Cough cough, I suddenly remembered that I'm not very good at drinking, this wine is really harsh on the throat!"

Yu Shisan was about to move closer when a plate of mutton was placed in front of him. Qian Zhao said, "Eat the mutton!"

"In that case, I'll try it first before I drink!" Yu Shisan said with a smile.

Ning Yuanzhou also sat down opposite her. He looked at Chu Yuebai and said, "Miss Chu, we are setting off tomorrow. Where are you going? If it's on your way, I can give you a ride."

"What's going on, Xiao Qi? Aren't they worried that I might have a problem? And they even suggested traveling with me?" Chu Yuebai asked.

Xiao Qi checked and said, "Host, Ning Yuanzhou thinks that since you helped them twice, they wouldn't have helped if they really had bad intentions, so he made this suggestion."

"Okay, I understand!"

Chu Yuebai looked at Ning Yuanzhou: "Hall Master Ning, I was just about to go to Anguo, so I'll travel with you for now."

"In that case, let's all travel together. But don't be so formal, just call me by my name!"

“Yes, Miss Chu, don’t be so polite, just call me Brother Thirteen!” Yu Shisan said immediately.

Chu Yuebai glanced at him and said with a smile, "I don't have any half-brothers, and I'm not younger than you."

Yu Shisan was momentarily speechless. Everyone laughed at him, and Sun Lang patted him on the shoulder, mocking, "Old Yu, your first attempt didn't go well, did it?"

"In our team, neither of the two beauties was initially attracted to me, Yu Shisan, who is gentle, handsome, and understands women's hearts best." He said with a hurt expression, like a theatrical performer.

Chu Yuebai silently moved a step to the side, keeping her distance from Yu Shisan, that flamboyant drama queen, lest she be infected by his charm.

Qian Zhao, seeing her furtive movements, lowered his head and a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Host, don't you like this type of peacock?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Well, I'm not worthy of it," Chu Yuebai said casually.

When night fell, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and then went back to their rooms.

Chu Yuebai was sitting at the table drinking. She had eaten meat that night but hadn't drunk any alcohol yet when she suddenly noticed a noise on the roof.

Using her spiritual sense, she saw Qian Zhao passing by the rooftops; he had only paused for a moment before she noticed him.

Chu Yuebai said, "Would you like to have a drink together?"

A moment later, Qian Zhao pushed open the door and walked in: "You have a good alcohol tolerance."

Judging from how she drank last night, I knew she said she wouldn't drink in order to reject Yu Shisan.
