“You should know me.”
Huo Huaixi looked calmly into the distance.
Zhou Shun pressed down on Shen Ajiao's head and said, "Sister Ajiao, what are you doing sticking your head out like that?"
Shen Ajiao was also quite frightened and almost got caught.
Cui Baozhu tightened her grip on the basket, as if she had made a great decision. "I know, but I have no other choice."
[Cui Baozhu definitely likes Huo Huaixi.]
Shen Ajiao patted Zhou Shun, gestured with her two thumbs towards Huo Huaixi and Cui Baozhu, and mouthed, "They're a couple!"
Zhou Shun nodded with absolute certainty and mouthed, "Sister Ajiao is wise!"
Huo Huaixi? Does Cui Baozhu like him?
Huo Huaixi: "I only ever thought of you as a younger sister."
She's just my sister, and she says purple has a lot of charm...
"You can go now. Leave the rest to me."
Cui Baozhu had tears in her eyes, but she held them back, put down the pastries in her hand, and turned to leave.
Shen Ajiao? When did this girl become so easy to talk to?
Zhou Shun gestured for Huo Huaixi to go inside, then they would go find Cui Baozhu. The next second, a cold voice sounded behind them, "What are you doing?"
“Hehehe…” Shen Ajiao touched the stone lion beside her. “Your stone lion is so handsome.”
Zhou Shun immediately touched it all over, admiring it greatly. "I find it pleasing to the eye too. Where is this craftsman from?"
Huo Huaixi, "From the palace."
Zhou Shun and Shen Ajiao chuckled, "Thank you, we'll go find him now to discuss the craftsmanship of the stone lions."
The two turned to leave.
"I don't like her, and I won't marry her."
Chen Ajiao chuckled...
What does this have to do with me?
Zhou Shun: "Okay, okay!"
He nudged Shen Ajiao, who replied, "Alright, alright, congratulations."
Zhou Shun? ?? Sister Gillian, what are you saying?
Shen Ajiao swallowed hard. "Then I wish you all your dreams come true and a happy and fulfilling life!"
"We have other things to attend to, so we'll have to go now. Goodbye."
Shen Ajiao grabbed Zhou Shun and left without looking back. The two walked quite a distance before stopping.
"How did you keep watch?"
Zhou Shun touched his head. "Our position is fine. He must have seen you when you peeked out."
Is this true about Gillian Chung? Impossible.
"It must be because you didn't scout out the location beforehand, that's why he caught you."
"no……"
"Okay, maybe it's me, but now's not the time to talk about that. Who does Huo Huaixi like?"
Zhou Shun chuckled, looking at the sky, the ground, and the walls. "I'm not quite sure either."
Shen Ajiao, "Hmm? You've been getting along very well with Gu Yuzhi and the others, didn't you know?"
Shen Ajiao rested her chin on her hand and said, "Does someone like him not like the radiant Cui Baozhu, but prefer the gentle and dignified type of lady from a respectable family?"
Zhou Shun nodded.
"If that's the case, then I don't know."
Zhou Shun nodded. "What if he likes Lin Daiyu?"
Shen Ajiao immediately refused, saying, "That won't do, it will make my hands cold."
Zhou Shun breathed a sigh of relief almost imperceptibly, which was noticed by Shen Ajiao. "Why are you so nervous?"
"They all have someone they like, what about you?"
Shen Ajiao looked Zhou Shun up and down. Such a good little brother Shun, sunny, cheerful and lively, and good-looking too. He would be popular anywhere. If he were in junior high school, he would have many little fans.
"I...I'm still young. Marriage is a major life event, and it's all about my parents' wishes. Besides, I haven't achieved anything yet..."
"No achievements? Oh, your family is particular about these things?"
Zhou Shun was a little embarrassed, "It's just my preference..."
"Oh~"
"No, no..."
Shen Ajiao patted Zhou Shun on the shoulder, "I believe in you, and I wish you all your dreams come true and a happy life."
Zhou Shun... so he was fooled by official language?
...
"So, Huo Huaixi has someone he likes?" Lin Daiyu said, also pondering who Huo Huaixi liked. "He's usually so aloof and reserved, you wouldn't guess."
"Who hasn't had a crush on someone?"
"Unrequited love?"
Shen Ajiao, "meaning secretly liking someone."
Lin Daiyu nodded, "Then I don't know, I can't tell."
"I haven't heard that he treats that girl any differently."
Just as Lin Daiyu was wondering what was going on, she heard a maid outside say, "Madam, Miss, the Prince of Nanping has sent someone with some things."
The Prince of Nanping mentioned by the maid was Huo Huaixi, who was conferred the title of Prince before the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Shen Ajiao called someone in to give a message. The person who came in was a plump old woman. Unlike Huo Huaixi, she was not cold. She had a round face and was very cheerful. "I wish Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin a happy new year in advance. I wish your family happiness and prosperity and that your life will become more and more prosperous."
Unsolicited congratulatory messages rained down on Chen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu.
Joyful Ajiao sent several large red envelopes, asking, "What did your prince ask you to deliver?"
"They're nothing precious. The Prince said that several of his classmates received them. The boys received writing implements, while the girls received jewelry and hairpins." The plump nanny made a point of mentioning that several of his classmates received them, afraid that Shen Ajiao and the others wouldn't accept them.
Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu exchanged a glance. "Are they all from the school? Are there any other families?"
The plump old woman laughed and said, "Oh dear, our Prince doesn't usually travel much. This year-end, he only visited the Lin family, the Zhou family, the Cao family, and the Xiao and Gu families."
"These were all personally ordered by our Prince; they are all of the highest quality."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ajiao suddenly understood. Huo Huaixi must like someone from the academy. She originally thought Huo Huaixi liked Lin Baobao, but there were no special actions afterward. The gifts were all the same, so he must be hiding who the real person was.
"Go back and thank your prince for me. He has excellent judgment, and we agree with that."
Lin Daiyu also agreed with Shen Ajiao's idea and nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, the plump nanny's eyes crinkled with laughter. "This servant will certainly report the truth to the Prince when I return."
The group of people happily flattered each other, and everyone was very pleased. The fat nanny was happy because she felt she had completed the task assigned by the prince, and Shen Ajiao was happy because she had benefited from the fame of a certain classmate, which was unclear. They all smiled sweetly.
Seeing that her mother was happy, Lin Daiyu was happy too.
The host and guests enjoyed themselves immensely, and the event was held until Lin Ruhai returned.
The plump nanny also got up to take her leave, and Shen Ajiao asked the nannies in her household to see her off.
Seeing Shen Ajiao's smiling face, Lin Ruhai asked, "What good thing happened to you today?"
Shen Ajiao immediately told Lin Ruhai what she knew.
Lin Ruhai exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a thing?"
But he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "That kid likes someone else. He even misunderstood that he liked Yu'er."
It turns out he had misunderstood him.
Since that's the case, should he treat him better?
"Then let's follow the rules when we return the gift."
Shen Ajiao laughed and said, "They don't care, after all, we're just bystanders~"
Then she whispered, "I'll go find out what the other families said. Ours will be different."
Lin Ruhai highly praised it.
