Lory pulls Zhao Li Xin sleeves.

"Hum, stay close" he reminds her gently.

"Yes!" Lory's other hands hold tightly on his arms.

Unbeknown by Lory, Zhao Li Xin, and Lory has attracted everyone attention since the moment their carriage enter the city, the formidable iron horses and the lavish black carriage has become the talk of the town, the news of the great Lord Long Ming visit the city has created an uproar in the city and adding the appearance of large Black Ship in their harbor it's like a sprinkle on the cake, everyone can't stop talking about Hei Shen and Long Ming also the last but not least the infamous lady who able to tame the snow Mountain Long Ming, Luo Ri Yi.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi make way for Lory and Zhao Li Xin to enter the inn, the inn manager exclusively escort them on his own to their well-prepared room. The Inn guest and the employee who works there stare at Lory and Zhao Li Xin with a mixture of wary and amazement look.

"Why they all looking at us like that?" Lory whisper at him.

Zhao Li Xin smiles calmly "Because you are very beautiful" he make perfunctorily answer.

Lory narrows her eyes in doubt "No, I don't think so...." Lory looks behind her and realizes five men shadow guard who used to hides their presence was following them openly "It must be because we bring too many guards isn't it...?" she said confidently.

Zhao Li Xin didn't want her to think too much so he agreed easily "You right..."

The Inn manager takes them to the most expensive room in their inn, the male servants open the door for them to enter, and another male servant immediately opens the door to the small balcony that shows the beautiful sea view. 

Lory's eyes sparkle when she sees the blue sea in front of her, she runs to the balcony to enjoy the view, she was bursting with joy as she inhaled the air then she turns around "Li Xin this is so beautiful!" she smiles brightly it's almost blinding him.

Happiness glowed inside him, he didn't know she would be this happy if he knew he would bring her to Shan Hu City sooner, he already considers to buy a residence in the city. Girsha finally returns and perch on the wood railing. The old bird seems in a good mood too.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi send gives the manager and the servants big tips since they sense a great mood of their Lord, the Inn manager eyes glow when he feel the heavy pouch on his hands, at first he was a worry to accommodate someone like Long Ming who has a temperamental temperament, he even deliberately choose male servants to served Long ming because he hated the rumor about his hatred to women.

He expected Long Ming to be gloomy and hard to pleased but the fact can't be much different, although he is indifference and cold however he is not unreasonable as the rumor said he even quite generous. The inn manager smiles with content as he left Long Ming room, turn out is not a bad idea to let Long Ming stay in his place, and everything goes smoothly his inn will become the most popular Inn the city since the great Long Ming had spent his time in his place. The Inn manager's face beamed as he imagines the success that waiting for him.

Lory lean with her two hands cross on the railing, the smell of ocean brightened her spirit, Zhao Li Xin approaches her after he takes off his mask and put it on the table "You like this place so much" his expression turn gentle as he speaks.

Lory smiles back at him "I like the beach, many of my fond memory has happened on the Beach, we used to make a campfire, play guitar and barbecue at the beach, we used to go to the beach every summer but then we become busy with life and don't have much time to go to the beach anymore....is a pity though" she props her chin and sigh.

If she knew what happened in the future they should spend their time together more often, Lory stares at the ocean with melancholy smiles.

"I'm jealous..." he abruptly said "I wish, I was there with you in your world, I wish I was there watching you growing up, be there for you when you need, I wish I fell in love with you sooner" He leaned on the railing with the same posture as her.

"Silly" she circles her arms around his "Everything needs the right time to created a right moment, and this is our moment, don't you think?" her sweet smiles make his heart thump.

Zhao Li Xin caresses her cheeks with his long fingers "Yes I do" he softly said.

'Groowwll'

Their sweet family suddenly shattered by the sounds from Lory's stomach, she rubs her stomach then shyly smiles "I'm hungry~"

"Pfftt..." he burst to laugh, he covers his mouth with his fist and his shoulder shake profusely, Lory was so embarrassed her face turn into crimson, she stares at Zhao Li Xin feeling wrong "Stop laughing...." just after she speaks her stomach make another growl sounds and Zhao Li Xin laugh increasing.

Lory wants to dig a hole in the beach and bury herself, why her stomach suddenly becomes so noisy, then the nice fragrant came from the door and Mong Yi speaks from outside.

"Milord the lunch is here"

Zhao Li Xin clears his throat as he tries to hold his laughter "Send them in!" 

A line of servants enter the room with a tray on their hand, and one by one put various food on the table and most of them are seafood, Lory cover he mouth so she wouldn't accidentally droll in front of the food. Her pupils grew larger when she saw giant snow crab on the table, Lory unconsciously gulps her saliva. Thankfully the servants immediately leave before her stomach make other sounds.

Zhao Li Xin barely ask 'Do you like it?' before Lory swiftly pull the chair then break the crab leg and put it on her plate, her eagerness lightened his mood even the Mong brothers were surprised, they never saw her so happy like this.

Lory cracks the leg and peels the crab leg then she eagerly sucks the whole meat with delight, her mood is soared to the sky as she tasted the sweet and spicy mixed with the crab meat, her eyes turn to crescent as she munches vigorously, only after she swallows the whole meat she realizes how rude she is, and ashamed when the three men stare at her with fuddled expression.

Lory put down the empty crab leg on the plate then awkwardly smiles "Are....are you not eating?" her face make the same color as the crab and it make Zhao Li Xin unable to contain his laughter, Mong Yi looks down as he struggles to hide his laugh even the stoic Mong Ki can't hold his chuckles.

"Come on guys, let's eat and stop embarrassing me" Lory pursed her lips as she tries to look angry, but that only make things funnier.

Zhao Li Xin didn't want to embarrass her further "Yes, I will eat with you" he takes a seat next to her.

Mong Ki and Mong Yi then leave the room after politely reject Lory's offer to eat on the same table, their strong refusal make Lory unable to push further and finally let them go.
