“Uh…” Gao Chong smiled stiffly, “No, it’s, it’s a sworn brotherhood, a vow of brotherhood.”
"Who wants to become sworn brothers with you!" Qiu Xu said, pushing Gao Chong out of the courtyard and turning to close the gate.
He turned around and saw his sister smiling at him.
His younger sister betrayed him and went to be Zhou Zifang's younger sister. Fortunately, he still has his older sister.
"Ah Xu, have you seen Ling'er?" Qiu Yan couldn't help but chuckle at the children's interaction.
This Gao Chong speaks with heavy breathing.
Qiu Xu replied, "My sister was taken to Xingyue Tower by Brother Zhou. Oh no, she went to learn the zither from Sister Song Jiao."
"Alright." Knowing her sister's whereabouts, Qiu Yan didn't ask any more questions.
It's rare to see my younger sister so diligently pursuing her studies.
After the New Year, my younger sister got back on track with her studies, but if she wanted to learn a skill, she would have to wait until after school ended.
At Xingyue Tower, Song Jiao had changed into a light pink dress and replaced her mask with a pink veil.
Her eyes were smiling, and compared to before, she seemed less worried and more serene.
When Qiu Ling'er arrived at Xingyue Tower, she first greeted her uncle, then went upstairs to find Song Jiao.
Zhou Zifang wanted to have dinner with her, but Qiu Ling'er wanted to wait for Sister Song Jiao.
Although she and Song Jiao lived under the same roof every day, Qiu Ling'er only had the interest to learn martial arts at Xingyue Tower.
Although there were many diners at the moment, it was not noisy.
Most of them were literati and refined gentlemen, and at this moment, they were all listening quietly to the music upstairs, completely absorbed.
As the music ended, Qiu Ling'er sat down at the zither table, and the sound of the pipa in Xingyue Tower gradually turned into the melodious sound of the zither.
Zhou Zifang sat at the table, enjoying the beautiful melody.
The music gradually stopped when a man dressed in a moon-white robe entered the Star Moon Pavilion.
Qiu Dayu stared intently at the man going upstairs, his mind once again conjuring up thoughts of his ill-gotten gains.
Song Jiao was slightly taken aback; she had thought he wouldn't come again.
A few days later, Qiu Yan, having received the medicine cabinet, was in for a busy time.
On this day, Qiu Xu happened to be on leave, and he and Zhou Zifang also came to help.
Qiu Dayu also brought Lu Jia and the others over, and together they began to busy themselves with the entire shop.
During the busy period, Gao Chong arrived unexpectedly.
Seeing Qiu Yan diligently wiping the medicine cabinet, he took a few steps forward, walked to her side, and joined her in wiping the cabinet surface.
"Sister Qiu, why didn't you call me when you were tidying up the shop?"
Qiu Yan glanced at him and said, "Even if I hadn't said anything, you still came."
Qiu Xu and Zhou Zifang both disliked Gao Chong upon seeing him.
Qiu Xu, in particular, felt that Gao Chong was a scoundrel, and he disliked scoundrels.
He stepped forward and stood between the two of them, saying, "Stay away from my sister."
"I'm here to work, and Sister Qiu has agreed to this."
"What Sister Qiu? She's my sister." When did Gao Chong get involved with his sister?
Gao Chong: "It's yours, I can't take it away." Qiu Xu always says he's childish, but in his opinion, Qiu Xu is more childish than anyone else right now.
Qiu Xu glanced at Gao Chong with hostility, but the latter slightly pursed his lips, revealing two shallow dimples, and smiled innocently.
Qiu Xu felt like he'd punched cotton. Though displeased, he said nothing more and turned to Qiu Yan, "Sister, I want to come and work too."
His sister's burdens are his own to bear; what does it have to do with Gao Chong?
Qiu Yan watched the interaction between the two, but she never expected that her younger brother would be jealous of her.
"Ah Xu, your studies can't be neglected."
"Don't worry, sister, it won't happen." Qiu Xu had made up his mind. Perfect timing, he wanted to learn medicine from his sister.
