Little Swallow continued to try to salvage the situation, shifting her gaze to Ertai, who was watching the spectacle with amusement, to divert her attention.
“Yes, not only Yongqi and Banjiu, but also you, Ertai, I tied it for you too.”
"ah?"
Ertai hadn't expected that he would be involved in this matter, and his gaze instinctively turned to Chen Nian, his eyes filled with unease.
However, Chen Nian was engrossed in watching the play and didn't notice Ertai's anxious look.
"Ertai, I tied more than twenty ribbons for you."
"Little Swallow! Do you think I'm some kind of master?"
Upon hearing that number, Ertai's voice rose, he was clearly upset, and his face showed anger as he glared at Xiaoyanzi.
"Shh, be quiet, keep your voice down. If the master hears us, we'll be in trouble."
Upon hearing Ertai's next words, Yongqi quickly gestured for silence.
Ertai could only swallow his words and reluctantly leaned towards Chen Nian's direction.
He can't beat three against one.
Chen Nian looked at the shadow in front of him, and when he looked up, he met Ertai's slightly aggrieved eyes.
With a slight smile and her eyes brimming with laughter, she took out a piece of candy from her sleeve—a candy that Ertai had given her but which she hadn't yet eaten. She then took Ertai's hand, which was hanging by his side, and placed the candy in his palm.
"Okay, don't be angry anymore. Little Swallow is doing this for your own good. Although, although twenty, more than twenty, is indeed, ha... haha... haha, is indeed... a bit too many, but, don't be angry, I, I was wrong."
As Chen Nian spoke, she couldn't help but laugh at herself. Her original intention was to coax people, but unexpectedly, she ended up making herself laugh instead.
Seeing Ertai's increasingly aggrieved look, Chen Nian suppressed her laughter and shook Ertai's other hand.
She suppressed her laughter, but the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Thinking of Ertai's expression when he found out that Xiaoyanzi had tied more than twenty red ribbons on his head, Chen Nian really couldn't help but feel sad.
"Fine, laugh if you want to, don't hold it in, you little rascal. You don't even comfort me, and you're laughing at me instead."
Seeing the person laughing incessantly, Ertai could only shake his head helplessly and sigh. Oh well, as long as she's happy.
Anyway, he doesn't really believe in these things. If it were really true that Xiao Yanzi could have as many wives as she wanted, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
"You little rascal."
However, Ertai was still furious. He reached out and pinched Chen Nian's face before letting go, satisfied.
"Hey, why are you so enthusiastic about tying red ribbons? Are you smitten?"
After talking about Ertai, it was Xiaoyanzi's turn. Yongqi made wild guesses, even with anticipation.
What she said next drew everyone's attention to Xiao Yanzi, who looked on with expressions of anticipation.
What does it mean to be moved by spring?
Unfortunately, Little Swallow was oblivious to the situation and didn't even know what "being moved by spring" meant.
Hearing Yongqi's words, Xiaoyanzi looked at him with suspicion, circled around him, her eyes scrutinizing him, and her tone was incredibly sincere.
Seeing Xiao Yanzi's bewildered expression, Chen Nian couldn't help but facepalm. She hadn't expected Xiao Yanzi to be so ignorant. Hadn't Ziwei taught Xiao Yanzi this?
That makes sense, though. If Xiao Yanzi had figured things out so early, how would the story have progressed?
Yongqi and Benjamin's pursuit of each other is a long and arduous journey.
Just as she was about to step forward and explain to Xiao Yanzi, Ziwei leaned close to Xiao Yanzi's ear and began explaining to someone else.
Chen Nian also withdrew his feet and stood next to Qing'er, his face once again displaying an expression of watching the show.
As expected, upon hearing Ziwei's explanation, Xiaoyanzi's eyes widened, and she turned around and punched Yongqi, who was talking to Benjamin.
Yongqi was stunned by the beating.
