Like moths drawn to a flame, they invite their own destruction.

You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish!

Without experiencing it firsthand, no one can truly know whether being like a moth drawn to a flame is a blessing or a curse.

Shi Xi lay on the sofa, resting her head on Di Chenxiao's lap, closing her eyes to savor the peaceful tranquility of the moment.

The incident involving the grass made Shi Xi realize that Di Chenxiao was very powerful, but she was Di Chenxiao's weakness.

After returning to the Shi family, Shi Hao thoroughly checked all the servants and bodyguards to prevent anyone with ill intentions from infiltrating the Shi family.

Finally, three people with ulterior motives were discovered, and Shi Hao dismissed all three of them.

As for Sun Liang's family, neither Di Chenxiao nor the Shi family pursued their responsibility. With Sun Liang's death, everything seemed to have come to an end.

Everyone knew in their hearts that this was just a comma, not a period.

Time flies, and the Little New Year is just around the corner.

Di Chenxiao was watched over by Shi Xi every day, so he couldn't go anywhere else and could only stay in Xiyuan Garden. There was also Di Wu's special medicine, and his ribs had already healed.

In his view, it didn't matter where he was, as long as he could be with Shi Xi.

Shi Xi took Di Chenxiao home, becoming more and more skilled, and was no longer as shy as she had been at the beginning.

Shi Jiaren, Mi Rou, Shisan, and Di Jiu all gathered in a circle to make dumplings.

Shi Xi looked at her crooked dumplings and then at Di Chenxiao's neatly wrapped dumplings, which were even shaped like flower petals.

He muttered to himself, "We all have hands, and our bones are the same, so how come there's such a big difference?"

Di Chenxiao smeared the dough on his fingers onto Shi Xi's nose and said indulgently, "It shows we're a perfect match. I'll take care of making dumplings, and you'll take care of eating them. We work together flawlessly."

She rolled her eyes at him. "All I can do is eat! I can also knead dough!"

"The most important thing about dumplings is how well the dough is kneaded and how elastic it is. Xixi is the best at it."

"That's right."

Shi Xi raised her head slightly and happily wrapped the disobedient dumplings.

The white powder on the tip of her nose made her look playful and cute.

Mi Rou shuddered, looking at the couple showing off their affection with utter disgust.

"Can you two please stop showing off your love in front of everyone?"

Shi Hao said gently, "If you don't want to be fed dog food, you can also find a boyfriend to show affection in front of them."

"Tch, I don't want to end my single life so soon. I'm still young, no rush. But Brother Shi, you're not getting any younger. You're the one who should be anxious about finding a partner!"

"I'm younger than Master Chen, so there's no rush."

"Master Chen has a lot of charisma; he can attract girls no matter how old he is. As for you, you don't have a single redeeming quality. It'll be difficult for you to find a suitable girl at Master Chen's age!"

"No redeeming qualities? Ha—, Mi Rou, look at yourself! Can you find a single redeeming quality in yourself?"

Mi Rou said angrily, "Shi Hao, what did you say? You dare to say it again!"

"A good man doesn't argue with a woman. If you want me to speak, then speak. I'll lose face."

She explodes at the slightest provocation; what a short-tempered little girl.

Shi Hao lowered his eyes to wrap dumplings, and the way his slender fingers pinched the dumpling wrappers was a delight to behold.

Mi Rou was furious but couldn't vent it, so she could only squeeze the dumpling wrapper hard, as if the dumpling wrapper in her hand was Shi Hao.

Shi Xi cautiously hid near Di Chenxiao, fearing that the war between Mi Rou and Shi Hao would affect her.

He whispered, "Xiao Xiao, those two look like a couple arguing!"
