Chapter 66: The Eared Thief is holding a primary school textbook, and he
Liu Bei returned to the relay station and naturally had Lady Gan help him with cupping therapy to vent his internal heat.
Lady Gan curled up in Liu Bei's arms,
"Husband, aren't you taking me to Hedong?"
Liu Bei patted Lady Gan's fair, jade-like back,
"I'm going to Hedong this time to fight a war. I'm afraid you'll be in danger if I take you. Besides, sleeping in the open—what if my Miss Gan gets thin or sick?"
Lady Gan was moved internally, "Husband, you treat me so well, wuwu."
"But I want to follow you and take care of your daily needs."
Liu Bei had no choice but to 'sleep-convince' her,
"I'm leaving you in Luoyang to study and improve yourself."
Lady Gan? Study? What the hell?
The next morning,
Liu Bei rode his horse to the banks of the Luo River south of Luoyang.
The scenery here was beautiful, and tourists were as thick as weaving thread.
Zhang Fei muttered,
"Big Brother, I had an appointment to spar with Zhao Zilong at the military camp. Why did you drag me to this Luo River?"
Liu Bei looked at the banks of the Luo River,
"Don't you think this scenery is beautiful?"
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes,
"Big Brother, I'm a rough man. Can you eat beautiful scenery?"
Liu Bei almost choked; what Zhang Fei said made a lot of sense—it really couldn't be eaten!
"Sigh, there's no communicating! I urgently need a talented woman to share my thoughts with!"
Soon,
Liu Bei saw a graceful silhouette—it was Cai Yan!
Her hair was like dark clouds, her face like an apricot, her cheeks like peach blossoms; her brows were as light as spring mountains, her eyes as swirling as autumn waves. Her temperament was graceful and reserved.
She was a bit shy at this moment; after all, it was her first date.
Liu Bei waved,
"Miss Cai, what a coincidence."
Cai Yan cursed inwardly: what coincidence? Isn't it this young lady who invited you!
She gave a sweet smile,
"Captain Liu is also here to enjoy the scenery? That truly is a coincidence."
Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei,
"Alright, Yide, go and spar with Zhao Zilong. You aren't needed here."
Zhang Fei?!
He felt he was just a tool—used and then discarded!
Liu Bei told him to leave, but he refused to go; he followed them quietly!
Liu Bei couldn't be bothered with him; he was already chatting with Cai Yan,
"Liu Xuande, do you think there is a Chang'e on the moon?"
"There shouldn't be, otherwise she would have frozen to death long ago."
"How so?" Cai Yan was very curious.
"Because there are no clouds like ours in the sky on the moon. The sun's direct radiation causes the ground temperature to be very high, and when there is no sunlight, it dissipates heat very quickly..."
Cai Yan was left stunned by what he said,
"I don't quite understand."
Liu Bei explained carefully,
"Think about it: when there are many clouds on a cloudy day, isn't it less hot? That's because the clouds reflect the sunlight back..."
Cai Yan said with some admiration,
"How do you know so much? You're amazing!"
Liu Bei laughed,
"I'm just like you; I like to ponder things when I have nothing to do."
"But I think what you say makes a lot of sense."
Cai Yan looked at Liu Bei with her beautiful eyes, and something different appeared in them,
"And I feel very happy chatting with you."
The live-stream exploded,
"If Miss Cai had gone through our nine-year compulsory education, she wouldn't be fooled by the Eared Thief!"
"The Eared Thief is using a primary school textbook to hit on a girl, and the girl is the number one talented woman of the late Han?!"
"Miss Cai's look at Liu Bei has changed; talented women really do value intelligence!"
On this side, Liu Bei and Cai Yan were walking along the bank,
The more they talked, the more they hit it off,
"What? You say our earth is a sphere?"
Cai Yan was shocked again!
Liu Bei demonstrated for Cai Yan,
"Look at the sailboat in the distance; why do we see the sails first and then the ship?"
Cai Yan was clever and quick-witted; she understood instantly and excitedly grabbed Liu Bei's hand,
"Wow, why didn't I think of that before? You're too amazing!"
Liu Bei smiled, ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
