Su Er didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the praise, even smiling at him with her eyebrows arched, saying, "Thank you for the compliment."
Jiang Siyan caught a glimpse of this scene, and, supporting the back of Su Er's neck, turned her head towards him, saying, "What are you laughing at him for?"
Su Er opened her mouth, but for a moment she was speechless. Wasn't he his friend? She couldn't be rude.
Lu Yunzhong coughed lightly and raised his voice, seemingly to say something to someone else, "Ting Shu, can you feel it? This dish tonight has a strong vinegar smell."
Su Er realized what was happening and, feeling embarrassed, pinched his leg under the table where no one else could see.
Jiang Siyan rested one hand on the back of the chair behind Su Er, his face showing no annoyance at being teased, and asked slowly, "Having food to eat can't shut you up."

She gathered her shawl around her shoulders, stood up, greeted the people at the table, and said goodbye, "I won't disturb you any longer, please continue your conversation."
After saying that, she went upstairs.
The voices downstairs continued, and a voice could be faintly heard saying, "The little fairy looks quite well-behaved."
Su Er did not hear a reply.
Jiang Siyan didn't really engage with the conversation; he just thought to himself, out of sheer boredom, that it was just cute to look at, but when it came to scratching people, it was like a wildcat.
