#401 - How about we two elope?
Looking at the girl in front of him, Xu Ming felt that something was very wrong.
Even though the East Sea doted on this only princess.
But no matter what, they shouldn't be protecting her so strictly.
Ao Yin'er wasn't some frail girl who couldn't face the wind; how could they not even let Ao Yin'er go ashore on an island?
There must be some reason for this.
"Could it be that this girl has some special significance to the East Sea, something that even she herself isn't aware of?"
Xu Ming felt that this was the only possibility.
Otherwise, Xu Ming really couldn't understand why this little girl wasn't allowed to go to the mainland, and why the Dragon King of the East Sea got so angry about it.
This shouldn't be happening.
"Xu Ming, why don't we elope?"
Just as Xu Ming was feeling sorry for this little girl and pondering the reasons behind it, Ao Yin'er suddenly spoke to Xu Ming.
"Cough cough cough," Xu Ming had just taken a sip of tea and choked on it.
Xu Ming looked at the little girl in disbelief: "Miss Ao, what did you say?"
"I said, let's elope together," Ao Yin'er's eyes curved, as if she were saying something perfectly natural.
Xu Ming rubbed the corner of his eye: "Miss Ao, may I ask, does Miss Ao know what eloping means?"
Why, out of the blue, do you want to elope with me after only a few words? Are we that familiar?
Moreover, it's not just a matter of familiarity.
Ao Yin'er nodded: "Of course I know, I'm not stupid. I've seen it in books; eloping is when two people who like each other run away together, far away, where no one can catch them."
Xu Ming looked at Ao Yin'er speechlessly, thinking, 'You do know.'
"Since Miss Ao knows, why does Miss Ao still want to elope with me?" Xu Ming asked curiously.
"Why wouldn't I?" Ao Yin'er pouted, saying as a matter of course, "You like me, and although I don't particularly like you, I do have some good feelings towards you, so why can't we elope together? Don't worry, I know eloping requires money. I have a lot of money. Even if we don't have money, it's okay. We're both so powerful, we can just rob it."
Xu Ming: "? ? ?"
Xu Ming felt his head buzzing.
Wait, no.
When did I say I liked you?
We've only met twice, and this second meeting was when you came to find me.
I don't think I've done anything to make you misunderstand, have I?
"Miss Ao, aren't you mistaken about something?" Xu Ming rubbed his eyes and said euphemistically.
"Mistaken about what? No," Ao Yin'er tilted her head, "Don't you like me?"
Xu Ming: "."
"Why does Miss think I like you?" Xu Ming asked.
He was really curious now.
What did I do to make you think I like you?
Ao Yin'er said matter-of-factly: "When you were fishing before, there were so many seats available, but you didn't sit next to my cousin or Zhu Ci Ci. What is that if not liking me?"
So that's the reason?
Is it possible that I sat next to you because both sides of your cousin Ao Jin were occupied, and I couldn't squeeze in, so I could only sit next to you?
Xu Ming took a breath and said patiently:
"Miss Ao, I think you might be mistaken about something. At that time, I sat next to Miss Ao simply because Miss Ao's side was a good fishing spot. I didn't have any other intentions. If I did anything to make Miss Ao misunderstand, please forgive me."
"You..." Ao Yin'er's cheeks flushed instantly, "You really don't like me?"
Xu Ming thought about how not to hurt this girl's pure heart: "Miss Ao, you are very beautiful, but Miss Ao, actually, I already have someone I like in my heart. However, my previous action was indeed a bit impolite, sitting next to Miss Ao without Miss Ao's permission. Please forgive me."
"This...this..."
Ao Yin'er was completely overwhelmed, her head lowered tightly, the blush on her cheeks already spreading to her ears, her small hands tightly clutching the hem of her skirt on her thighs.
This huge misunderstanding left Ao Yin'er at a loss for what to do. Ao Yin'er was extremely ashamed in her heart.
She had thought that Xu Ming liked her, but she didn't expect that it was all just her misunderstanding.
So he sat next to her just to fish better? Do you like fishing that much? Is fishing that interesting?
At this moment, Ao Yin'er couldn't wait to find a hole to crawl into. This was really too embarrassing...
"However, even if we don't elope, if Miss Ao is willing, I can take Miss Ao to the mainland," Xu Ming said with a smile, looking at the girl's embarrassed appearance.
"Really?" Ao Yin'er raised her head at once, looking at Xu Ming with her eyes blinking.
The girl's eyes sparkled.
"Of course it's true," Xu Ming nodded, "It's just that now is not the time. I have some things to do now, and I'm quite busy. Moreover, there's something I don't have with me. When I go to the East Sea one day, I'll take Miss Ao to the mainland."
Xu Ming was the owner of the Baiwa Painting Scroll, and the Baiwa Painting Scroll was a real small world, no different from the mainland. To some extent, it could be considered a trip to the mainland.
"When will you come to the East Sea?" Ao Yin'er's eyes were full of anticipation.
"emmmm," Xu Ming thought for a while, "Within three years, I should go to the East Sea within three years."
"You're not allowed to lie to me! Let's make a pinky promise!"
Ao Yin'er stretched out her fair and slender finger.
"If you lie to me, I'll bite you!"

[Today, I'm writing 10,000 words, but I haven't finished editing them yet. Don't worry, I'll finish editing the rest. I'll definitely be able to post 10,000 words before 12 o'clock today.
Then, I'll stick to writing 10,000 words a day for a while. When I don't write 10,000 words on a certain day, it's possible that I'm being lazy. If I don't write 10,000 words for a long time, then it's very likely that I've gone to find a job.
Let's see if I can get by. If I can't get by, I'll go back to my hometown to farm.
It's just that I still owe my relatives 130,000 yuan, and I have to pay them back in the next two or three years, otherwise, I won't be able to hold my head up high when I go home for the New Year.]
