The two of them were stunned for a moment, unable to react.

Bai Tangyan pointed at himself and looked at Xiao Xi'er, "Why did you say I have so much candy that I can't finish eating every day?"

"Because your name contains the character for 'candy'~"

"How much candy do you eat every day? Could...could you split up a bit...hehehehehe"

Bai Tangyan was stunned, her face frozen, as she looked at Bai Tangzhi, "Doesn't it look like we have a lot of candy?"

Bai Tangzhi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because our names contain the word 'sugar,' that people really think we have a lot of sugar."

The white sugar cigarette had no rebuttal.

"Hey, little princess, we've all introduced ourselves, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"My sister? No need to say anything, I'm like a sister. I am Keke's sister."

Bai Tangyan was completely stunned, while Bai Tangzhi burst into laughter.

"I thought you were such a composed younger sister that you only smiled with your lips pursed, but I didn't expect you to smile exactly like your older sister."

"Hey, what are you saying? Is it bad to look like me? Or do you want me to look like you? That might be really ugly."

"I'm telling you, how come you're not acting like a proper older sister at all? And you're even resorting to personal attacks!"

"Besides, where am I ugly?"

Upon hearing Wei Yuanxuan's words, Bai Tangyan immediately retorted and even launched a personal attack on Wei Yuanxuan.

"Alright, Yan'er."

"snort"

Upon hearing Bai Tangzhi's words, Bai Tangyan turned her head, snorted at Wei Yuanxuan, and then ignored him.

"How come your little princess is somewhat illiterate?"

"I don't have illiterate people, so can we eat illiterate people?"

Seeing Xiao Xi'er's expectant look at her, hoping she would answer "yes," Bai Tangyan looked at Bai Tangzhi speechlessly, then covered her face with her hands.

"Little princess, illiterate people can't eat this."

When Xiaoxi heard that she couldn't eat it, her expectant look disappeared.

"Introducing yourself doesn't mean 'I'm the older sister,' it means you should tell us your name."

"Oh, I have a name!"

"I said, little princess, everyone has a name, so what's your name?"

Bai Tangyan almost thought Xiao Xi'er was going to ask, "What's your name? Can you eat it?" Luckily, Xiao Xi'er knew what a name meant, so he asked Xiao Xi'er's name instead.

My father told me my name is Qin Ruoxi.

"Little princess, your name is quite lovely. This also makes you much smarter, so you're not illiterate anymore."

After hearing this, Bai Tangyan praised Xiao Xi'er, but the next second, Bai Tangyan really wanted to take back her words.

"What does the name mean? What does Qin Ruoxi mean? Is it edible?"

Bai Tangyan slumped down onto the stool behind him with a thud.

"Little princess, a name is what others call you. As for the meaning of Qin Ruoxi, you'll have to ask His Majesty. Names aren't edible."

"Then, Qin Ruoxi isn't my name."

"My father calls me 'Little Xi'er'; one of my brothers is called 'Little Fourth'; another brother is called 'Little Sister'; Ke Ke calls me 'Big Sister'; and Chun He and the others call me 'Little Princess'."

"Does that nest have so many names?"

"No, Qin Ruoxi is your name, and Xiao Xi'er is also your name; 'younger sister,' 'older sister,' and 'little princess' are titles, not names."

"Oh, although I didn't understand."

Bai Tangzhi couldn't help but pat Xiao Xi'er's head.

"whee"

"Hmph, sigh, you little princess, do you even know where my name comes from?"

"You're Sister Yan'er, could it be the smoke from cooking?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tangyan, a local petrochemical company...

"What did you say? Do you believe me... do you believe I'll never play with you again?!"

"Sister Yan'er, I won't say anything more, okay?"

Xiao Xi'er reached out and tugged at Bai Tangyan's hand. Bai Tangyan blushed instantly when Xiao Xi'er took her hand.

"Who...who is...who is your sister? You're not allowed to call her that!!!"

Seeing Bai Tangyan's blushing face, Bai Tangzhi took Xiao Xi'er's other hand.

"Yan'er has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't worry, she won't stop playing with you."

"As for the origin of my and Yan'er's names, it comes from the poem, 'In the past, we rode horses and sang songs, all returning to the banks of the river, amidst the fragrant smoke and irises.'"

"Because she's the older sister, her name has the character 'yan' in it, and I'm the younger sister, so my name has the character 'zhi' in it."

Xiao Xi'er, holding one person's hand in each, looked puzzled. "Where's Tangtang?"

Why are you still talking about sugar? We don't have much sugar.

"Yan'er, don't frighten the little princess."

"Little princess, the reason for the word 'sugar' is because our mother felt she was going to give birth to us when she ate sugar."

"Alright then."

Xiao Xi'er lowered her head in disappointment. Seeing that Xiao Xi'er was unhappy, Bai Tangyan said awkwardly, "Okay, I'll bring you candy tomorrow, is that alright?"

"Really?"

Xiao Xi'er looked at Bai Tangyan with bright eyes, and Bai Tangyan's face immediately turned red.

"Really...really"

"Wow, Sister Yan'er is so kind!"

"Who...who is your sister?"

Xiao Xi hugged Bai Tangyan for a moment, then let go, and turned back to her seat.

The sugar cigarette that was released felt a little disappointed.

However, she quickly disappeared because Xiao Xi'er handed a string of candied hawthorns to Bai Tangyan.

"Let me tell you, I didn't want to eat your candied hawthorn; you forced me to."

"Uh-huh"

Xiao Xi nodded, then gave Bai Tangzhi a string of candied hawthorns.

"Sister eats."

Bai Tangzhi naturally took the candied hawthorn, "You can call me, Sister Xiaozhi."

"Sister Xiaozhi~"

Qin Jingke saw that Xiao Xi'er's eyes were filled with white sugar and angelica, and tugged at Xiao Xi'er's sleeve.

"Sister~, you didn't even call me..."

"Keke, do you still want some candy?"

"Hehe, eat, I'll eat, sister."

Xiao Xi'er gave Qin Jingke a string of candied hawthorns, and also gave some to Fang Zixu and Wei Yuanxuan.

"Little princess, I'll call you Xi'er from now on."

Okay, okay!

"Then... I'll reluctantly call you Xi'er too."

"I said 'white sugar cigarette,' if you don't want to order it, then don't. What's with that reluctant look on your face?"

"Who says I'm unwilling? I'm willing to shout!"

Provoked by Fang Zixu, Bai Tangyan blurted out...

Bai Tangyan looked at Bai Tangzhi again, no longer wanting to deal with Fang Zixu.

"Let's get to know each other. I don't know the names of the three of you."

My name is Qin Jingke.

"I am Fang Zixu."

Wei Yuanxuan

And so, the six people got to know each other, and the ship of friendship began its voyage.

"Ding ding ding—"

"That's the palace maid ringing the bell. Sit up quickly, class is starting, the teacher is coming."

Wei Yuanxuan quickly spoke upon hearing the bell.

Bai Tangyan sat down directly next to Xiao Xi'er, saying, "Let me tell you, I'm only sitting next to you out of respect."

Xiao Xi'er didn't know what it meant, but that didn't stop her from nodding.

Bai Tangzhi sat down next to Qin Jingke.

Situ Junwen entered the classroom, glanced at Xiao Xi'er, then at the two Bai sisters, and began his lesson.
