"No, no, no, that's all, that's all, there won't be a next time."

Upon hearing Xiao Yanzi's words, Yongqi realized that he had blurted out his true feelings, and he quickly replied.

"Hmph, you wouldn't dare leave me hanging."

Little Swallow snorted and let go of her hand.

"Yongqi, you actually dressed up as a big bad wolf to scare us? That's unbelievable."

After the two finished playing around, Qing'er took the opportunity to stand up and give them space. Shen Nian and Ertai, whose gaze had been fixed on Shen Nian, looked curiously at the wolf skin on Yongqi's body.

"Where did you get this wolf pelt?" Ziwei asked, puzzled.

“The mountain people here make a living by hunting. I noticed they were selling all kinds of animal skins, and thinking that Xiao Yanzi would like them, I bought this wolf skin.”

After explaining to the two of them, Yongqi turned to Xiaoyanzi, taking off his wolf skin as he spoke with a smile.

"Little Swallow, I bought this wolf pelt for you. Do you want to try it on? When you get back, dress up as a big bad wolf and scare those talented men and beautiful women."

"It was a gift for me? You should have said so earlier."

Yongqi's words immediately eased Xiaoyanzi's angry expression, and she held the wolf skin in her hand with great affection.

"Quickly, put it on me."

Xiao Yanzi handed the wolf pelt to Yongqi and asked someone to help her.

Yongqi was also very good to Xiaoyanzi. He did whatever Xiaoyanzi asked him to do, and obediently helped people put on wolf skins.

"Do you want one? I can buy you a kitten or a white rabbit."

Ertai turned his head and asked the person next to him. Based on his observations over the past period, she probably wouldn't like something like a wolf skin. She's also someone who dislikes trouble, so if he really bought her one, she wouldn't know what to do with it.

However, rabbit fur should make a very warm scarf. Hmm, I'll take some time to buy some rabbit fur and make her a scarf. Winter is not far away, so I can start preparing now.

You can also learn to make some winter-appropriate dishes.

Ertai was already planning what to prepare for winter.

"I don't want to."

Chen Nian shook her head at the person. She didn't really like this, nor was she interested in it. She was just looking at it out of curiosity. Compared to this, she preferred food.

"Okay, I'll buy you some food. How are you? Is anything bothering you?"

Ertai could easily see through Chen Nian's thoughts. He curled his lips and thought, "He truly lives up to his reputation as a foodie." He reached out and ruffled Chen Nian's hair, asking with concern.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile. Ertai, I'm really not a porcelain doll."

Seeing the concern in Ertai's eyes, Chen Nian smiled. This man always treated her like a porcelain doll.

"To me, you're like a porcelain doll, so when I'm not around, you have to take good care of yourself and not worry me, okay?"

Ertai reached out and patted the person's head again, giving them earnest instructions.

"good."

As soon as Chen Nian agreed, Xiao Yanzi, with Yong Qi's help, put on the wolf skin and began her performance.

"Awoo~"

The moment she put on the wolf skin, Little Swallow showed off her Little Swallow version of a wolf howl.

"Little Swallow, what version of wolf howl is that?"

Hearing Little Swallow howl at him, he scratched at the person and said with a grin.

Qing'er, watching the interaction between the two, found it quite amusing.

But she felt that Yongqi was being a little too nice to Xiaoyanzi, not like a brother would treat his sister. His gaze was also unusual, more like…
