Coming to the street that Zhai Yumo mentioned, listening to the lively scene in the yard, Fu Xiao looked at him in surprise, "I remember this is Uncle Jiu's place..."

"right,"

Zhai Yumo smiled, pushed open the door and gestured to her.

As soon as Fu Xiao and Yi Ning walked in, they saw a stall selling candied haws. "Xiao Xiao, do you want some?"

Seeing her nod, Yi Ning ran to the stall and originally wanted to buy two skewers, but Fu Xiao came over and said, "Three skewers."

The old man selling candied haws smiled and gave her another string, and Yi Ning handed him the money.

When Fu Xiao handed over the candied haws, Zhai Yumo took it in a daze. When she and Yi Ning walked aside to look at the lights, he finally reacted. He looked at the candied haws in his hand, smiled and took a bite. The sour and sweet feeling filled his entire mouth.

The sour feeling made him squint his eyes and smile helplessly. He had never eaten this kind of thing before and was a little uncomfortable with it, but he was reluctant to throw it away, so he took it in his hand and walked to Fu Xiao.

"Xiaoxiao, these lanterns are all very pretty. Look at that rabbit lantern, it's so cute."

Fu Xiao nodded. There was even the outline of a rabbit drawn on the lamp, which showed the craftsmanship was indeed exquisite.

Zhai Yumo chuckled and said, "Do you want to buy it?"

She shook her head and raised the lantern made by Mr. Mu in her hand, "I have it."

As for the others, just appreciate them, there is no need to buy them.

We didn't buy any lanterns, but we bought a lot of food along the way. We saw a stall selling Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings) and bought some. We each ate a few to try them out.

Fu Xiao can never eat too much sweet food because he feels sick of it.

After walking to the end, she wrote down two riddles that she couldn't figure out and prepared to go home. She looked at Yi Ning who was still in a daze and said with a smile, "Let's go home."

Yi Ning nodded repeatedly. She had wanted to leave for a long time. When Fu Xiao and Zhai Yumo were guessing riddles, she could only watch. Her brain was really not working well.

She was wondering if she should really find a school to go to. Her level of education, which was only literacy, seemed a bit embarrassing.

Fu Xiao saw that she kept her head down and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Yi Ning expressed her thoughts, "Xiao Xiao, I think I should learn something."

"Have you figured it out?"

"Yeah," Yi Ning nodded. Although she thought it was enough for her to know how to read, as Fu Xiao's friend, it would be embarrassing for her if she was too stupid.

Fu Xiao smiled and said, "Let's discuss it with your brother when he comes back."

Zhai Yumo stood on Fu Xiao's left, occasionally turning his head to look at her and chatting with her for a word or two, and soon they returned to the compound.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening, the candle at the door had burned out, and apart from the laughter and chatter coming from each house, there were basically no people on the street.

When they reached the door of Zhai's house, Zhai Yumo said softly, "Xiao Xiao,"

Fu Xiao tilted his head, "Hmm?"

"I have something to say..."

She turned to look at him. "What?"

The red lanterns hanging high at the gate of the Zhai family swayed slightly, and the interweaving of light and shadow made the man's facial features more three-dimensional. He lowered his head and stared at her straight. His thick eyelashes made his eyes deep, and the emotions in his eyes were as thick as ink.

Fu Xiao was a little impatient and asked again: "What?"

Zhai Yumo said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you unhappy that day."

She raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

"The matter between Mu Ning and Shen Xingzhou,"

Fu Xiao thought to himself: "Good fellow..."

"I could have thought that he was just casually chatting that day, but now that he has made it clear, is he really giving her a fucking warning?"

She glanced at the halo of light from the lantern next to her, smiled, and said in a leisurely and calm voice: "It's nothing, you are doing this for your sister, I understand."

"However," Fu Xiao spoke again, this time with a hint of coldness in his voice, "your sister likes Shen Xingzhou, so let her exert herself on him. Don't treat me as an unfounded rival in love. If you do that again, I won't be polite."

After saying that, he took Yi Ning home.

After turning around, the smile on her face completely disappeared.

Her breath just turned cold for a moment that day, but he could see that she was unhappy. He was such an unpredictable person.

"What?" Zhai Yumo blinked, and when she reacted, she had already walked into the Mu family.

Now he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Zhai Yumo murmured in a low voice: "I'm not doing this for my sister,"

She had obviously misunderstood, but it was hard to explain.

How could he say that he liked her, and was afraid that she had any special feelings for Shen Xingzhou, after all, they had known each other before.

Shen Xingzhou said to her again...

Therefore, he brought up the matter of Zhai Mu Ning and Shen Xingzhou as a deliberate test, and he was also deliberately vague in his words with the intention of provoking others.

However, he hadn't figured out how to tell her his feelings.

So I can only let her misunderstand.

But fortunately, her words of "groundless" meant that she had no romantic feelings for Shen Xingzhou.

"fine,"

Zhai Yumo suddenly smiled and felt a little relaxed.

At least, he did not lag behind Shen Xingzhou.

As soon as they entered the Mu family, Yi Ning pulled her and asked in a low voice: "What does he mean by that?"

"Did I bully you?" When she asked this question, her voice had turned cold and her fists were clenched, as if she would turn around and beat him up if Fu Xiao nodded.

Fu Xiao carefully glanced around the room, leaned close to her ear and said, "He's just a stupid sister-con. Don't pay attention to him."

Even though she was a little unhappy, she couldn't have a big fight over it. It wasn't worth it. If her parents heard it, it would become a big deal. Anyway, they were just neighbors and not that close, so she could just ignore it.
