They boarded new boats at the crossing point and paddled toward an area of town where a lot of people gathered.

After passing the arch bridge and entering the river paths, Wei WuXian started to go at it again.

Abandoning his paddle, he put one foot on the side of his boat and looked into his reflection in the water, examining if his hair was messed up. As if he didn't just catch tons of water ghouls and escape from the mouth of the waterborne abyss, Wei WuXian assuredly threw a series of charming winks at both sides of the path, "Sisters, how much for half a kilogram of loquats?"

"I think he is at it again", Nie HuiSang chortled. Wei WuXian couldn't exactly remember what was happening next but he could guess what his old self would have done in a place where he could utilize his beauty. One glance at Lan WangJi confirmed this as well. That soft look in his eyes when he talked to their kid was nowhere to be seen now.

"Lan Zhan", he called softly

"Mm"

"Did I do something? ", he asked carefully not to nettle the other.

"I do not remember"

Lie. A clear Lie, Lan WangJi's face was screaming it . "Should I be at least scared? ", Wuxian asked again, this time nuzzling into his chest. And... Lan WangJi didn't say anything !!!!

"A-Xian" Lan Xichen, the savior called him, "if I remember correctly, you are in trouble"

"Definitely you are", Jiang Cheng motioned to the screen, "surrounded by maidens, your tongue is not going to rest inside. It will definitely start babbling sooner or later"

"Okay I'm in trouble, but what did I say this time", he thought. There is no way Lan WangJi is going to tell him beforehand.

His age was young, and his appearance was handsome. With such high spirits, it really was a scene of frivolous peach blossoms pursuing the running stream. One woman lifted her bamboo hat, smiling with her head raised, "Young beau, you needn't pay. How 'bout I can give you one for free?"

The Wu dialect was soft, sounding refreshing and sweet. The speaker's lips moved melodiously, and the listener's ears would be enveloped in fragrance. Wei WuXian cupped his hands together, "If it's given to me by Sister, then I definitely want it!"

The woman put her hand into the basket, and threw him a round, golden loquat, "You needn't be such polite. It's for how handsome you look!"

The boats moved at a fast speed. As the two boats met, they immediately passed each other. Wei WuXian turned around, perfectly catching it, and grinned, "Sister looks even prettier!"

"Oh my god!! ", Jin Ling exclaimed. "Look how smooth he is with the ladies"

"That is one of his talents I don't want you to inherit", Jiang Cheng reminded his nephew.

"I can't even talk to them without getting nervous", Jin Ling Murmured

"He is so natural", Jingyi cried out

"Am I the only one seeing a fuming Lan WangJi here? ", Lan SiZhui asked.

"Lan Zhan, we were young. You know how I was", Wei Wuxian tried to coax the vinegar Jar who knows how many times already. "Why am I always digging my own grave?"

"Can you please look at me instead ? ", Lan WangJi still didn't take his eyes off the flirt.

As he showed off and flirted on the side, Lan WangJi was staring straight ahead, appearing quite virtuous. Wei WuXian smugly tossed the loquat in his hand, and suddenly pointed at him, "Sisters, do you think that he looks handsome?"
