Shen Nian, a 21st-century slacker and foodie, loved nothing more than watching "My Fair Princess" every day. She had memorized all the major events and wished she could be there to "eat...
"Hahaha--"
He successfully made people laugh again.
"Fine, fine, you all want to piss me off, huh? I'm not falling for your tricks. I'll show you what's what."
Little Swallow's gaze fell on Shen Nian, and seeing that he was smiling happily, she continued to play the dragon.
"I listened for so long, and it was all for nothing... But coming out with you guys was definitely worth it."
Qing'er, arm in arm with Chen Nian beside her, ate the grapes that were handed to her and joined in, further amplifying the laughter.
Joy is also constant.
...
The moonlight was beautiful tonight, and everyone sat on the steps to admire it.
"I've always thought that if the Old Man Under the Moon were in charge of human marriages, he would be incredibly busy. If it weren't for you, Master, I'm afraid that the bearded man's marriage would have been ruined too."
Ziwei looked up at the bright moon in the sky and sighed.
"Anyway, I grew up in a temple, so I just—, sigh~"
Before Xiao Yanzi could finish speaking, Yongqi pulled her away to admire the moon.
Chen Nian looked completely bewildered. Was there anything she needed to be careful about? Why couldn't she see that?
Chen Nian turned his head to look at Qing'er, only to receive a puzzled look in return.
Chen Nian was genuinely confused; she was also genuinely slow-witted. She could see through obvious acting, but she truly couldn't see through this one.
Although Shen Nian didn't see it, Yong Qi's obvious actions still aroused Qing'er's suspicion.
"Hey, I mean, I live next to a temple. I don't care if it's effective or not, I'm just doing good deeds for everyone."
Little Swallow is trying to salvage the situation with her clumsy acting.
Unfortunately, some people simply don't appreciate it.
As Xiao Yanzi spoke, she turned her head and glared at Yongqi.
"Little Swallow, what kind of riddle are you playing? Please tell us the answer."
Ziwei, of course, knew nothing of what happened last night. She got up in confusion and walked to Xiaoyanzi's side.
The group hadn't spent much time together, and Ziwei hadn't caused any trouble during this period, so their relationship was still barely okay. However, if anything crossed the other's bottom line, the calm surface would immediately be shattered.
"Last night, I tied a lot of red ribbons to the matchmaking tree for everyone. When Banjiu and Yongqi found out, they actually said I was meddling in other people's business. I was so angry."
Thinking about what happened last night, Xiao Yanzi got angry again and complained to Ziwei.
"So, besides the master, Little Swallow also wants to play the matchmaker. If Little Swallow plays the matchmaker, the world will be in chaos."
Erkang, with a look of amusement on his face, stepped down the steps and stood to one side, teasing Xiaoyanzi.
"Hey, you still look down on me? Don't forget, I'm still your matchmaker, if it weren't for me—oh~ ah~ Ziwei—"
Ziwei and Erkang's faces changed instantly.
Little Swallow was completely unaware of what was happening. Just as she was about to argue with Erkang, Ziwei's foot had already stepped on her, and Little Swallow cried out in pain again.
Before he could say anything, Yongqi pulled him to admire the moon.
Looking at that group of people, with their obviously guilty expressions and poor acting skills, Chen Nian didn't know what to say.
Turning their heads to look at Qing'er, their eyes met, speechless, and they both rolled their eyes to the sky.
Sigh, these people's acting skills need improvement.
They're not stupid; how could they not see that something was going on between them?
Er Kang also deeply regretted his joking remark.
"Uh, I mean, I tied red ribbons on myself too, lots of them, yeah, and—"
...
