"Yes, if there's danger, run towards me and hide behind me, understand, okay?"
Ertai patted the head of the person in front of Shen Nian. Seeing the trust in Shen Nian's eyes, Ertai felt that he had successfully won Shen Nian's favor and was very satisfied.
"Okay, okay, don't pat my head. I'm already short and not very smart. If you pat me again, I'll become even shorter and dumber."
Chen Nian pulled the hand off her head. Every time she looked at him, she had to look up. She was already short enough, and not very bright. This man kept patting her head. What if he made her shorter and dumber?
Not short, not stupid, just right.
"Also, Chen Nian, you never need to apologize to me, understand?"
Thinking of the apology he had just made, Ertai leaned down to look Chen Nian in the eye and spoke earnestly.
He didn't want to hear her apology.
"Okay, sure."
Ugh, why do Ertai's words always hit her so hard?
"But—" What happened today was her fault to begin with.
"Alright, no buts. Let's not talk about anything else. How about we play the drums? Look, Little Swallow and the others are playing them."
Ertai pointed to the three people around him who were already having fun. Having spent so much time with Chen Nian, he knew what she wanted to say, and he didn't want to hear her apologize.
She would never have to apologize to him.
"Um."
Chen Nian looked at the little swallows who had huddled together and forgotten about her, nodded, and seeing that Ertai didn't want to talk about this, she changed the subject.
Little Swallow has already given a performance, and she's still slacking off. No, no, she can't waste any more time. She remembers that someone will come to cause trouble soon.
Let's get hyped!
The trio shouldn't be separated; she should team up with Ertai instead.
The group started having fun again.
Seeing the group of people jumping and hopping inside, the emperor and his ministers on the outside couldn't stop laughing.
"Since he came out, the young master has become much more lively."
Master Ji stroked his beard, looked at Yongqi who was jumping around in the crowd with great skill, and moved closer to the Emperor.
"Yes, these young masters and ladies have really opened our eyes again."
"It's rare to see the young master and Erkang so carried away."
Emin also whispered in the Emperor's ear.
"Niannian, come on, let's get Qing'er to come along too. This is very simple, Qing'er will definitely learn it in no time."
Little Swallow had somehow gotten close to Chen Nian, while Ertai was pushed to Yongqi and Benjamin's side. He grabbed Chen Nian's hand and rushed out.
The group of people, squeezed together, exchanged disapproving glances before separating.
Xiao Yanzi and Shen Nian broke through the encirclement and came to Qing'er.
"Qing'er, Qing'er, come with us! This is very simple and fun."
Little Swallow tugged at Qing'er's hand and shook it.
"Little Swallow, I don't know how to do this."
Qing'er waved her hands repeatedly, she really didn't know how to do it.
"Qing'er, let's go play together, okay? Okay? I want to play with you."
Chen Nian gave him a big bear hug and acted coquettishly.
"Nian Nian—"
Looking at the person clinging to her tightly, Qing'er cried out helplessly, "I really can't."
"Go, go!"
"Qing'er, go, go! All you young people should play the waist drum and share the joy with the people. I'll be happy to see you like this. Go, go, go!"
The Emperor, who was standing nearby, also saw what was happening. Just then, Erkang was calling out to Ziwei.
The emperor waved his hand and allowed all the young people to go and have fun.
"Qing'er, look, Master has agreed. Let's go together. This is really fun. I've already let you try it out. You'll definitely be able to learn."
Let's go~
...
Happy Chinese New Year everyone!
