Realizing that he might not be the only traveler here, Chu Lin couldn't tell what mood he was in for a while, put down the snack in his hand and looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a thin young man in a moon-white robe walking from a tree. back out.

"Hi, fellow." The young man who looked like a weak scholar was blocked by Shen Yi before he approached, but he didn't care, he smiled and raised his hand to say hello to Chu Lin who was sitting there.

Seeing that the visitor seemed to know Chu Lin, Shen Yi turned his head and glanced at him.

Chu Lin met his questioning eyes and said, "Let him come over."

Hearing this, Shen Yi naturally stopped blocking the way.

"Xia Jinyu."

The young man walked to the stone table and extended his hand towards him.

Standing up and shaking his hand, Chu Lin also announced his name, and asked him to sit down.

"Chat in another place?" Xia Jinyu didn't sit down, but asked.

After thinking about it, Chu Lin felt that the chat between the two of them was really not suitable for other people to listen to. He nodded, walked to the person not far ahead, who was still looking at the scenery down the mountain, and talked to him.

Although he said that he was from his hometown, Zhao Xu, who heard them exchange names just now, guessed that they might not have met before, so he gave him a sideways look and told him not to go too far.

"Yeah." After Chu Lin agreed, he walked into the small forest behind with Xia Jinyu.

After the two left, Zhao Xu sat down at the stone table, facing the small forest.

"After the instant noodles appeared in the market, I knew there must be a fellow villager coming, so I inquired about some news and came to find you." After walking into the woods, Xia Jinyu said directly.

If it was him, he would definitely inquire about other travelers if he found out that there might be other traversers, so Chu Lin just smiled and didn't say anything.

"When did you come here?" Chu Lin couldn't help asking the fellow, even if his eyes weren't teary, he was still a little excited when he saw the fellow.

"Three and a half years ago." After Xia Jinyu finished answering, she took the initiative to talk about her experiences in these years.

Xia Jinyu, who was an orphan in modern times, had his soul transmigrated into the body of a sick and only son of a doctor's family. After accepting the fact of time-traveling, he who had never enjoyed family affection, his parents loved and loved him, and his life was not bad.

It's a pity that the good times have only passed for more than a year, and when Xia Jinyu came back from the outside one day, her family was ruined.

"I took my revenge half a year ago, and I didn't know what to do next, so I came here to look for you after I heard the news."

He said it lightly, but Chu Lin knew that it was not easy, so his lips moved twice.

"It's over, don't need to comfort me." Xia Jinyu waved her hand, her eyes fell on a maple tree with all red leaves in front of her.

Chu Lin, who was not very good at comforting others, could only stand silently with him for a while, and then asked him what his future plans were.

"If you don't mind, I'll hang out with you in the future?" Xia Jinyu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Whether it was out of sympathy for what he encountered after crossing, or fellowship, Chu Lin had no reason to refuse, so he said: "I will go to the capital next, and you can go together if you want."

Seeing that he agreed without hesitation, Xia Jinyu looked at him for a while, and couldn't help but laugh out loud thinking of herself when she just crossed over.

"What are you laughing at?" Chu Lin looked over suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I just remembered that I read too many novels in modern times. When I first time traveled, I thought I was the protagonist, but I was slapped in the face by reality." Xia Jinyu's tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

After the two left the forest and returned to the stone table, Chu Lin introduced each other for them, and then asked Zhao Xu if he could let Xia Jinyu go to the capital with them.

Zhao Xu naturally did not refuse when he looked at the young man with a "please" look.

Seeing that he agreed, Chu Lin picked up the jug, poured him a glass of chrysanthemum wine with a smile as a thank you, and then asked Xia Jinyu to have some snacks.

After drinking chrysanthemum wine, eating Chongyang cake, and admiring chrysanthemums on the mountain, the group went down the mountain.

Back on the boat, Xia Jinyu was assigned to a room near Shen Yi, while Chu Lin went down to his room at Zhao Xu's signal.

Originally, Chu Lin thought that he wanted to know about Xia Jinyu's basic situation, but he didn't expect that after sitting at the table for a while, he saw him take a bucket of instant noodles from the inner room and stuff it into himself.

Chu Lin, who was a little confused, looked at him. After noticing the packaging of the instant noodles, he vaguely understood something. After opening the instant noodles and seeing a chrysanthemum inside, he couldn't help but wonder: " How do you know there are golden chrysanthemums in this bucket of instant noodles?"

You know, there were golden roses and golden mooncakes in the instant noodles he gave him before, but they were all obtained by cheating the system.

"Weight." Zhao Xu said flatly.

Chu Lin, who reacted in an instant, found that this was really a mistake, so he decided to hold an event next time, but instead of directly putting the prizes in the instant noodle bucket, they should replace them with winning cards.

It's been a while since I've traveled here, and it's impossible not to miss the modern times, so after Xia Jinyu got on the boat, Chu Lin had a lot to talk to him about.

This afternoon, the two sat on the bow of the boat and chatted. Perhaps because Chu Lin was the author, the topic suddenly came to the novel.

After chatting for a while about some great books they had read, Xia Jinyu suddenly remembered that Zhao Xu called him "Zelin" and said, "Speaking of which, why did King An call you 'Zelin'? Reminds me The author who has read a few books before is called Zelin."

Chu Lin, who thought it would not be such a coincidence, still reported two titles and asked him if he was the "Zelin" who wrote these books.

"That's right." Xia Jinyu nodded, noticed the expression on his face, and guessed, "Don't tell me you are the author."

"It's really me." Perhaps because he discovered that he was actually his reader, Chu Lin's attitude towards him was slightly closer than before.

"What a coincidence!" Xia Jinyu, who really didn't expect them to have such a relationship, laughed, thinking it was a little strange.

With the relationship between the author and the reader, they can talk about more topics. Even after knowing that he has passed through, he still hasn't forgotten to finish writing the unfinished modern article. After Xia Jinyu gave him a thumbs up in admiration, He asked for the manuscript to read.

Finding that the young man had been spending his free time chatting with that so-called fellow villager for two consecutive days, and they had a very happy chat, and their laughter could often be heard in the room. Zhao Xu glanced at it and put it away because he used it often before. chess set.

Ever since he discovered the "relationship" between his master and Chu Lin, Shen Yi, who could make up a lot of things in his head, keenly sensed his master's displeasure, and after thinking about it for a while, he knew why, so he ran to the bow of the boat.

Because he thought that Xia Jinyu's behavior indirectly caused the master to be in a bad mood, Shen Yi didn't show it on the face, but he was a bit displeased with him in his heart, so he just ignored him, and after greeting Chu Lin, he smiled casually and asked him the two things. Why doesn't God play chess with the master.

Xia Jinyu used to be a very good-tempered person, but after going through so many things, her personality became a little erratic. When she realized that he didn't like her, she also ignored him and asked the people around her, "Do you know how to play chess?" ah?"

"It's just backgammon." Chu Lin said.

"Speaking of which, I haven't played backgammon for a long time, why don't we play for a while?" Xia Jinyu said.

"Okay."

Seeing them talking, they really found a chess piece and started playing. Shen Yi was staring at the person he never liked to hate, but he noticed from the corner of his eye that the master had come out here, and he felt a little guilty.

When he came out of the cabin, he saw two people sitting on the bow playing chess. Zhao Xu paused.

"Master." After Shen Yi shouted, he quickly moved a chair out and put it beside Chu Lin.

He raised his head and greeted him, Chu Lin lowered his head and continued to fall.

Zhao Xu walked over and naturally sat down on the chair close to him.

Chu Lin lost before the time was up for a stick of incense. He took back the white pieces on the chessboard and reached out to touch the teacup.

Zhao Xu raised his hand and pushed the teacup under his hand, but his hand covered the back of his hand.

"I'm sorry." Chu Lin, who found himself touching his hand, said, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to ease the embarrassment.

Soon, the second game began. Chu Lin obviously couldn't beat Xia Jinyu, and almost made him five pieces in a row several times.

Seeing that the young man was starting to hesitate, Zhao Xu said, "There's no rush."

Hearing his gentle voice, Chu Lin, who was a little anxious, relaxed again, and finally made a move after sweeping the whole chess game.

"I won!"

After the black and white pieces covered most of the chessboard, Chu Lin looked happily at the people beside him after dropping a piece.

"Not bad." Zhao Xu boasted, and reached out to touch his head.

"No more, I'm going to rest for a while." Seeing the interaction between the two, Xia Jinyu threw the chess pieces back into the chess box, got up and entered the cabin.

Feeling that he seemed to be upset, Chu Lin was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but look at the people beside him.

"Just don't play chess with him next time." Zhao Xu said, directly positioning his emotional change as that he couldn't afford to lose.

Originally thinking that it was impossible for Xia Jinyu to be upset because he lost the game, Chu Lin nodded subconsciously when he heard his words.

"Do you want to go?" Zhao Xu asked seeing the young man nodding obediently.

"Yes." Chu Lin, who was getting excited after playing two sets, said without thinking.

Glancing at the chess games that were still confiscated on the table, Zhao Xu said, "The wind blows for a long time and you get a headache. Let's go play in the room."

"Okay." Chu Lin, who had indeed been blowing outside for a while, agreed, got up and followed him into the boat.
