Feng Guang gave Xie Zhan a sweet, ingratiating smile. "Third Uncle... he's definitely not a gossipy person, is he?"

"I may not be a big talker, but I can't guarantee I won't let something slip." He smiled, a smile that was both innocent and incredibly handsome.

Xie Jie walked over blankly and asked, "Third Uncle, what are you talking about?"

Xie Zhan suddenly sighed.

Xie Jie was even more confused, "Third Uncle?"

Feng Guang chuckled to himself, while Xie Jie, that big fool, had no idea that his third uncle was sighing over his lack of intelligence.

Xie Zhan looked down and saw her smiling mischievously. He said with a smile, "Jie'er, even Feng Guang knows the importance of being familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics. Your father is still counting on you to pass the imperial examination with flying colors in the future. You must not disappoint your father."

Xie Jie was most annoyed by people asking him to read, but if it was his third uncle who brought it up, he really didn't have the courage to show his annoyance. So he could only turn his gaze to Feng Guang and glare at her. If she hadn't brought up the Four Books and Five Classics, he wouldn't be being lectured by his third uncle here.

Feng Guang wasn't one to be bullied, so she glared back defiantly.

Xie Jie's eyes widened even more when he saw it.

Feng Guang thought to herself, "This person is really childish." She turned her head and gave a heavy snort.

Xie Jie was indignant and was about to walk up to her again to glare at her when Xie Yaoyao came over. She didn't even look at Feng Guang and Xie Jie, but said to Xie Zhan, "Grandmother asked me to come and remind Third Uncle that it's time to go into the dining room."

"Okay." Xie Zhan nodded with a smile.

Xie Jie had no choice but to give up, and the group that had fallen behind had no choice but to continue walking forward.

As Feng Guang was walking slowly with Huan'er in her hand, Xie Zhan appeared beside her without her noticing. He said softly, "It's good that Feng Guang is lively, but she needs to restrain herself a bit in front of the old lady."

Was he trying to kindly remind her?

Feng Guang looked up and curled his lip. "Am I not restrained enough?"

He chuckled, "That's true. At least you didn't use the same kicking power you had that night, which is already quite restrained."

She paused, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, "I...I didn't kick you on purpose..."

“I know it’s because Feng Guang misunderstood me as someone who wanted to commit suicide, which is why he rushed up to save me.”

"It's good that you know..." Her eyes darted around, not daring to look at him. No matter what, it was a fact that she had kicked him back then, and he was her elder. If word got out, even if Xie Zhan didn't mind, she would still get a scolding from her own father.

The two didn't speak for the rest of the way. Huan'er felt that her older sister seemed a little strange, but she was too young to say what was wrong. Once they entered the dining room, she let go of Fengguang's hand and sat down next to her parents.

Xie Zhan said, "When we first met Feng Guang and Huan'er, we couldn't help but talk to them for a long time. We are late, please don't be offended, Mother."

Upon hearing her beloved son speak, even if Grandma Xie wanted to say something, she stopped. She cheerfully said, "Sit down quickly, the food is getting cold."

The empty seat next to the old lady was naturally reserved for Xie Zhan, who sat regally next to Zhao Wan, while unfortunately, Xie Jie sat on her other side.

Although Xie Jie wasn't quick-witted, he wasn't stupid either. Over time, he had figured out that Feng Guang had made a fool of him. He was furious, and as soon as he saw Feng Guang sitting next to him, he immediately said irritably, "I don't want to sit with you!"
