Xiao Yanzi didn't believe Yongqi's attempt to cover up his lie. She took a step back, pointed at Yongqi, and looked on incredulously.
She wasn't upset about having someone close to her taken away; she had seen firsthand how good Ertai was to Niannian.
Besides Ertai, she really didn't know anyone else who could be so good to Niannian.
She would only be happy for Chen Nian as long as someone was kind to her.
The jealousy in my heart couldn't compare to the joy of seeing Shen Nian being pampered.
In her opinion, Chen Nian was born to be pampered, and it was only right that everyone pampered Chen Nian.
"Little Swallow, shh, don't let it slip. Ertai hasn't revealed his feelings yet, you absolutely mustn't let it slip."
Seeing the shocked expression on the person's face, Yongqi glanced around to make sure no one else was there before speaking softly.
"Alright, alright, I won't tell anyone. But Ertai, why haven't you confessed your feelings yet?"
Xiao Yanzi looked at Yongqi's cautious face and nodded, but at the same time she was a little puzzled.
"because……"
Seeing Xiao Yanzi's puzzled expression, Yongqi sighed and told her anyway.
"So it was because of me..."
Hearing Yongqi's words, Xiaoyanzi felt guilty.
She never imagined it was because of her.
"Alright, Little Swallow, you must not let this slip out."
Seeing the guilt in Xiao Yanzi's eyes, Yongqi gently comforted her.
"Now, let's get down to business."
After explaining to Xiao Yanzi, Yongqi prepared to get back to the main topic.
With Benjamin's words in mind, Yongqi prepared to strike directly.
"Huh? What important business are we talking about? Do we even have anything important to discuss?"
Little Swallow tilted her head in confusion, looking puzzled.
...
"What happened to you just now? Can you tell me?"
Ertai saw the people squatting down to play in the water, so he squatted down as well and joined them.
"Nothing much, I just figured some things out. I was trapping myself, and it's time to learn to move forward."
Listening to the words of the people around her, Chen Nian shook her head slightly and gave a faint smile. Her smile was bright and dazzling, captivating all who saw her.
"Hmm? Is it about Brother Yongxuan?"
Chen Nian's ambiguous words successfully misled Ertai.
Seeing that Ertai had misunderstood, Chen Nian thought for a moment but didn't explain, mainly because she didn't know how to explain it.
Let's just leave it at that misunderstanding.
"I guess so."
She really didn't know what to do about Yongxuan, but she knew that while she no longer rejected him, it would still take some time to fully forgive him.
She didn't have much time and didn't want to waste it on being stubborn.
She wanted to enjoy the atmosphere where everyone around her was someone she cared about.
She's been pampered and spoiled by everyone; she should be content with her life.
Even if it's only for a short time, I have no regrets.
...
"I want to play in the water."
Chen Nian looked at the clear water flowing in his hand, feeling its warm temperature. He then looked at the stone slab under his feet, looked up at Ertai squatting beside him, and spoke, his eyes filled with longing.
"Can."
Ertai felt the temperature of the water in his hand and, after confirming it wasn't cold, nodded.
Having received Ertai's permission, Chen Nian sat down directly on the stone slab and then prepared to take off her shoes and socks.
"Wait a minute, get up first."
Ertai's eyelids twitched as he watched Chen Nian's unrestrained movements.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Ertai's words, Chennian subconsciously stood up.
Then, Ertai stood up and began to take off his outer clothes.
"you--"
