Yan Yue stared wide-eyed in surprise, sat up, picked up the whip and looked at it for a few moments, her eyes growing brighter and brighter: "You gave it to me? Seventh Sister, you're so kind!" She then stepped forward to kiss her a few times.
He Yue quickly reached out to block her face from getting closer.
Yan Yue's lips touched He Yue's palm, and she pouted in dissatisfaction, blinking her watery eyes pitifully: "What are you doing?"
He Yue was speechless. Sixth Sister's ability to act cute was getting better and better. She deliberately put on a serious face and said, "It's a promise. This is not a gift from me. If you want to thank me, you can't thank me."
"Who is that?" Yan Yue's eyes lit up.
He Yue tapped her chin with her index finger, a teasing smile playing on her lips: "Of course... it's Ito-ri."
"Huh? It's him?" Yan Yue exclaimed in surprise, then jumped up happily. "It's no wonder I've been so good to him. He's really a good friend. I've wanted such a beautiful whip for a long time. I didn't know he was so thoughtful, he even knew what I was thinking."
Seeing Sixth Sister brandishing the whip as if she had found a treasure, her previous dejection completely gone, He Yue sighed that Yi Duli's understanding of Sixth Sister was exceptionally deep and that he was quite clever, as a single whip had struck a chord with Sixth Sister.
"Are you very touched?" Heyue asked with a smile.
Yan Yue nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course!"
Seeing that her sixth sister was still overjoyed without realizing anything was wrong, Heyue slowly said, "But... Yiduli also told me something and asked me to give it to you."
"What did you say?" Yan Yue stopped waving her whip in surprise and sat down opposite He Yue.
"Before I say all this, I have a few questions for Sixth Sister."
Yan Yue made an "uh" sound, widened her eyes, and nodded in puzzlement: "Okay, go ahead and ask."
"What do you think of Yiduli?" Heyue thought of a more tactful way to ask, so as not to be too direct and scare Sixth Sister.
Upon hearing this question, Yan Yue was completely confused: "What do you mean?"
He Yue scratched her head in annoyance and put it another way: "Let me put it this way, Sixth Sister, have you ever thought about developing other feelings for Yi Duli?"
She wasn't very good at this kind of thing and didn't know how to point it out to her sixth sister without it being too abrupt.
"What feelings? Aren't we just cousins? How can sibling feelings develop into anything?" Yan Yue was completely bewildered and increasingly confused.
"Oh, so you like Iduli?" He Yue was exasperated and simply asked her directly in a huff.
Yan Yue looked at her like she was an idiot: "Isn't what you said obvious? He's our cousin, of course I like him!"
Heyue slumped weakly onto the table, seriously doubting whether she had asked the question in the wrong way.
Sixth Sister's way of thinking is really straightforward; if you're going to ask a question, you have to be as direct as you can be.
This also shows that over the years, Sixth Sister has never had any romantic feelings for Yi Duli.
He Yue roused herself and slammed her hand on the table, startling Yan Yue, who instinctively shrank back and cautiously looked at her: "Why...why are you so angry?"
He Yue took a deep breath and forced a smile. She thought it best not to subtly hint at her sixth sister's feelings.
“I-Du-Li-said-he-likes-you!” He Yue said, enunciating each word clearly. After speaking, she stared intently at her sixth sister, wanting to see what her expression would be.
All I saw was my sixth sister looking completely bewildered and confused.
"Did you understand?" He Yue frowned and asked again, sounding annoyed.
Yan Yue nodded absentmindedly. Just as He Yue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her sixth sister had finally understood, Yan Yue suddenly muttered softly, "Then... what's so strange about him liking me?"
Heyue:……
"Sixth Sister, did you even understand what I was saying?" Heyue asked through gritted teeth.
Yan Yue nodded hurriedly, unconvinced: "I understand, you're just saying that Yi Duli likes me, right?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yue vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She scratched her head in confusion.
She knew it!
He Yue remained silent. She snatched the whip from her sixth sister's hand, her face darkening as she glared at her as if she wanted to devour her: "Yidulli said he wanted to marry you, you understand that, right?"
"Huh?!" Yan Yue opened her mouth wide in surprise, looking as if she had heard something unbelievable and terrifying, and couldn't speak for a long time.
Heyue stopped beating around the bush and told her everything: "Yiduli just called me out and asked me to give you this whip. He said he likes you, but he doesn't know if you like him, so he asked me to test you. If you like him too, he will marry you after the talent show."
After finally finishing her sentence, Heyue let out a breath. Seeing that her sixth sister was still in a daze, seemingly in a daze, Heyue really wanted to grab her shoulders and shake her awake.
However, she managed to resist the urge to shake her awake. Heyue took a deep breath, poured herself a cup of tea, tilted her head back, and gulped it down. Then she slammed the teacup down on the table, stood up, and said, "Whether you understand or not, I've delivered the message. As for your feelings for Yiduli, think about it carefully. I'm leaving now."
Stepping out of the room, He Yue let out a heavy sigh and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
This almost killed her!
Acting as a matchmaker for the first time was both novel and exhausting; she vowed never to do it again!
As for how Sixth Sister will react next, that remains to be seen.
However, as soon as evening fell, Sixth Sister rushed into Heyue's room in a hurry.
Heyue was startled by her sixth sister's anxious appearance. Before she could ask what was wrong, her sixth sister grabbed her shoulders and forcibly pulled her up from the chair. Heyue was panting heavily, her eyes wide and filled with fire: "Let me tell you, Zhaojia and Heyue, you can't bully people like this! How could you bully me like this? Do you know how I've spent this afternoon?"
Heyue looked completely bewildered, staring at her sixth sister's furious and frantic expression, as if she wanted to beat her up. She frowned, puzzled and a little aggrieved: "Sixth sister, what are you talking about? What did I do?!"
"What did you do?" Yan Yue was almost crying, gritting her teeth and glaring at her angrily, as if she wanted to devour her: "Do you know? Ever since you said those things to me during the day, I've been in a daze all afternoon. I couldn't even concentrate on learning the rules. All I could think about were your words, which made the nanny hit my palms several times. Look, look at what my palms look like now!" She held out her palms, looking aggrieved and angry.
When Heyue saw the palm of her hand, which was so red that it was unrecognizable, she was so shocked that she almost jumped up.
"Sixth Sister, how did your hand get like this?" Heyue stammered, her mind a jumbled mess. Her first thought was, how could this old woman be so cruel? She doesn't treat the princess like a human being!
