Chapter 101: After Shopping (Without Forgetting)
Yui Mei didnt forget to choose the souvenirs after enjoying all the seafoods to the fullest.
Okay, what should I buy
Yui Mei left the beach and returned to the road to stroll among the shops.
The journey to this country was considered difficult, so there werent any tourists, much less groups who came to sightsee, and there were no souvenir specialty stores in this area.
Thus, Yui Mei could only hope that they would be able to find good items here.
What should I get?
Yui Mei consulted Li Yong.
It was her first time to shop for souvenirs gifts in this world, so it was only natural that she had difficulty choosing.
Why not go with wine? It wont go bad, after all.
Oh, I see.
Indeed, the journey home would be long one, the essential condition of her choice should be something that would not rot while they were in the midst of traveling.
And so, Yui Mei decided to listen to Li Yongs suggestion and buy some kind of rare wine, something that was delicious and could be used for cooking, too.
Kai was a port city, so there were a lot of items gathered here, and some were for export and while others were imported.
Thus, she had plenty of varieties to choose from.
Yui Mei decided to buy sweet wines for Mei Na and Yang, and a spicy wine for Chen.
Her business was done after she finished buying them.
Were already here, so might as well y in the sea!
she didnt have any opportunity to go enjoy the beach since she came here in a city near the sea.
Youre still spouting unusual stuff
Li Yong frowned.
He probably never imagined that one could y in the sea, since it was a ce for fishing.
However, Yui Mei wouldnt back down, so it was decided that they would take a stroll along the beach to make some good memories, ording to her.
They went to a ce farther than the fishermans store, and no one else was there.
Because people ying in the sea was something umon, the thought of ying by swimming probably never crossed their minds.
Thats why not a single tourist ventured to this ce, probably only those who were interested and wanted to do so from the get-go, like Yui Mei.
Kyah, so cold!
Yui Mei could no longer endure her excitement, so she hastily took off her shoes and dipped her feet into the water, enjoying the sensation of the waves rising and falling beneath her feet.
She wanted to swim, but because swimsuits didnt even exist in this ce, where the sea was considered unswimmable.
The fishermen themselves were wearing normal clothes that could get wet whenever they enter the sea.
Yui Mei couldnt get wet, so she could only satisfy herself by submerging her feet and ying with the waves with them.
However, this was too dull.
<i>Oh, right, I can go look for seashells instead!</i>
Seashells were also great as souvenirs from the sea.
She started to pick shells, while Li Yong followed and watched over her from behind.
Oh, Li Yong, you know how to swim, right?
Yui Mei suddenly stopped what she was doing and asked Li Yong, and he looked peeved.
If I didnt know how to swim, then theres no way Im going aboard Lord Li Mins boat, right?
<i>Well, he got a point.</i>
Yui Mei agreed to Li Yongs answer.
It would turn into a huge mess if his own guest drowned while aboard his ship.
I trained in the river, but then, a river is very different from the sea.
Yeah, and the seawater is stickier for some reason.
Yui Mei replied back to affirm what Li Yong said, when a mischievous thought crossed her mind.
Hyah!
Yui Mei squatted down and sshed water towards Li Yong.
He easily avoided it.
Hey, what do you think youre doing!
Li Yong scolded her, but Yui Mei just snorted and scowled.
Its such a waste, you know. Youre in front of the sea and yet youre making such a lo~ng face. You should rx your guard a bit and enjoy the sea!
telling a guard to rx his guard is absurd.
Li Yong said with the air of a soldier, but Yui Mei just stood up and sshed another wave at him.
Argh, stop it I said, and thats low of you to do that!
Li Yong avoided being sshed yet again, so Yui Mei suddenly got the urge to make him wet no matter what.
No, it was fine even if it wasnt seawater in this case, so she started kicking sand towards him.
I already told you to stop!
Li Yong became exasperated at obstinate Yui Mei, so he also started kicking the sand towards her.
Yui Mei was also annoyed at this, so in the end, it became a sand throwing contest until Li Yong came back to his senses.
In the end, they were both covered in sand when they returned to Li Mins mansion, giving Princess Pan a fright when they happened to meet her.
<i>What are we doing, the two of us.</i>
Yui Mei burst outughing as she changed her sand-covered clothes and brushed the sand off her hair.
Doing something meaningless has been quite refreshing.
They made a good memory of the sea before they left Kai.
T/N: Li Yong, the king of exasperation ? not a chapter had gone by without a description of the furrow in his brows haha, so its funny how childish he was when he kicked sand back to Yui Mei. And yey!! Last chapter for this arc!! What a cute way to end it XD
