She didn't fall to the ground; instead, Ertai pulled her back. However, due to the excessive speed, her head slammed straight into Ertai's body.
Those who practice martial arts naturally have good physical fitness.
"No, it's nothing."
When Ertai caught Shen Nian's gaze on him, his ears turned red and he stammered a little.
"Little Swallow, can you take a look at my nose? Is it okay? Is it still red?"
He kept calling out to Little Swallow.
"It's okay, it's okay, but it's still red."
Upon hearing Chen Nian's voice, Xiao Yanzi bent down and began to look at Chen Nian carefully, even taking the opportunity to touch Chen Nian's soft little face.
Phew~, that's good. If it's just red, then it's nothing to worry about. There's no need to worry about how to explain it to the Empress Dowager and Qing'er.
...
Chen Nian looked up and saw that everyone else was packing their things.
Upon seeing the brush, inkstone, and scattered books lying on the ground in front of Ertai, it was clear after a moment's thought that it must have been because of her.
Chen Nian got up, walked to Ertai's table, squatted down and began to pick up things.
"Princess, Princess, I can do it myself."
Ertai, who was tidying up the things on the table, saw Chen Nian's actions and immediately stopped tidying up. He quickly walked to the table, squatted down, and stopped Chen Nian.
A person as noble as her, with those precious hands, shouldn't be using them for such trivial matters.
Seeing Shen Nian's slender, jade-like hands, Ertai inexplicably felt that the calligraphy brush held by Shen Nian was a bit of an eyesore.
"fine."
He spoke softly and quietly, picked up the inkstone and brush from the ground and placed them on the table, then squatted down again to pick up the books.
As Ertai squatted down, Chen Nian was picking up a book. Their hands touched by chance, and as if electrocuted, they simultaneously released the book they had just picked up.
Chen Nian's reaction was calm; she looked up at Ertai with some confusion, while Ertai blushed.
"Hehe, hehe, I'll pick it up here."
Ertai blushed and stammered, not daring to meet Chen Nian's gaze.
"It's okay, you tidy up the desk upstairs, and I'll tidy up the books on the floor."
Looking at Ertai's flushed face, Chen Nian was a little confused. She looked down at her own hands. Did her hands have any static electricity?
Why is he blushing again? She's seen Ertai blush several times already. Does he have to be so innocent?
She watched the show so many times and never realized that Ertai was so easily embarrassed, not even blushing when he flirted with Saiya.
She didn't see him often, but it seemed like she could always see him blush, making her wonder if she had some kind of "poison" inside her.
"No need to trouble you, Princess, I can handle it."
Seeing that Chen Nian still wanted to tidy up, Ertai spoke up again to stop him.
Seeing the unwavering determination in Ertai's eyes, Chen Nian glanced at the two books left on the ground, gave up arguing, and stood up.
Seeing the inkstone, which he had picked up and placed on the table with a broken corner, he felt a pang of guilt. He gazed at the inkstone intently, memorizing its shape.
Once we get back to Cining Palace, I'll draw it and ask someone to help me find an exact replica.
For some reason, she felt that the face looked somewhat familiar.
"Ertai, that inkstone—"
"It's alright, it's alright."
Before Chen Nian could finish speaking, Ertai, who had already picked up the book and stood up, took it from her. He also noticed the inkstone with a small chipped corner, waved his hand, and indicated that it was fine.
It was her doing, so it's fine.
...
The situation of the two people did not attract the attention of the three people next to them.
Because that's how the three of them get along, they think it's normal.
Another reason is that their attention was all on Xiao Yanzi, and they didn't have time to pay attention to Ertai.
Chen Nian, who was packing her things, slowed down. She looked at the three loving people on her left and then at the lone person packing on her right. For some reason, she felt a little sorry for Ertai.
The main characters are Ziwei with Erkang, Xiaoyanzi with Yongqi and Benjamin, while Ertai is all alone. His official love interest will not appear for a long time, and he is in a pitiful period of unrequited love in the beginning.
He clearly liked Xiao Yanzi too, but he was always excluded.
Ertai had no idea that the person he was thinking about was actually feeling sorry for him because of a misunderstanding.
...
Unlike Chen Nian, Xiao Yanzi is like a bird released from its cage after class, and she is very happy.
With her confinement lifted, she was even happier. Although she had to write an article, she was sure that Ziwei, Yongqi, Erkang, and Ertai would help her, so Xiaoyanzi wasn't too worried.
"Chen Nian, you're packing too slowly, let me help you."
"I've successfully passed the test today, and I'm already looking forward to your article tomorrow."
Little Swallow stood up and chattered around Chen Nian.
Seeing that the person was still slowly packing, although he asked for Chen Nian's opinion, he had already taken action and started packing for Chen Nian.
As for hers, her two admirers, Benjamin and Yongqi, were helping her take care of things. Since she couldn't find anything to do, she set her sights on Chen Nian, who was standing to the side.
"Hey, I can do it myself."
While Shen Nian was thinking about Ertai, he saw Xiao Yanzi already packing his things and raised his hand to stop her. However, Xiao Yanzi was so busy packing that she ignored Shen Nian's words and quickly finished packing.
Chen Nian looked at the messy trunks (which were equivalent to school bags today), shook his head helplessly, and said nothing.
Xiao Yanzi was happy, but her last words added to Shen Nian's already depressed mood, making her even more depressed.
Writing is her Achilles' heel.
...
"Qing'er, I'm so tired," Little Swallow said, cutting to her heart.
After leaving the study, he saw Qing'er waiting for him outside. He handed the trunk to Xuan'er, who was waiting outside the door, and then took small steps and ran towards Qing'er.
He was caught by Qing'er, and Chen Nian subconsciously nuzzled Qing'er's neck, his voice soft.
"Okay, okay, I'm here to pick you up."
Qing'er supported Chen Nian's body with one hand and patted the back of Chen Nian's head with the other to comfort him.
"Why are you crying?"
Seeing the redness still lingering on Shen Nian's nose, Qing'er teased him with a smile.
What a wonderful misunderstanding.
Chen Nian: ? ? ? Oh well, let it be a misunderstanding. Besides, she doesn't know how to explain it anyway.
Hearing that Shen Nian didn't refute, Yongqi Benjamin behind him silently breathed a sigh of relief.
Ertai heard that the person in front of him did not deny it, and based on his height, he saw the sullen, depressed and shocked but had to admit it expression on Shen Nian's face, and his heart itched.
"Master Ji asked me to write an article, but I don't know how."
He spoke in a muffled, sullen voice.
These ancient traditional Chinese characters are so difficult, and writing essays is so difficult too. She doesn't like them at all.
What she hated most in modern times was writing essays and learning classical Chinese. Others could learn classical Chinese in a day, but it took her three or four days, and she still only had a superficial understanding. When it came to classical Chinese multiple-choice questions on exams, she could only guess.
