Su Yaoguang said beside him, "I just went to the academy, the gatekeeper said Wang Shu just left, turns out he was pulled out by you guys to play."

Jiang Ziqian and his sister-in-law’s matters are private affairs, it’s not very polite to abruptly discuss them, better change the subject!

Zhou Wangshu took Su Yaoguang’s bowl and picked out the scallions inside.

"Brother Zhou, what are you doing..."

"Someone is picky and doesn’t like scallions. If there were outsiders, she’d be embarrassed to pick them out."

Everyone looked at Su Yaoguang with mischievous eyes.

Su Yaoguang kicked him under the table and leaned over saying, "Don’t I care about dignity?"

"If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Why wrong yourself for so-called dignity?" Zhou Wangshu finished picking the scallions and placed them in front of her. "Eat!"

Jiang Ziqian looked at the two and said, "You two have a really good relationship."

"They’re husband and wife, of course, their relationship is good." Zhong Chushan said, "If a couple’s relationship isn’t good, whose relationship would be good?"

"But, I remember hearing Brother Zhou and Boss Su mentioning, though you have the name of husband and wife, it’s just sibling affection." Jiang Ziqian said.

"When did you hear that, who told you, did we tell you directly?" Zhou Wangshu raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Ziqian chuckled, "I wasn’t intentionally eavesdropping, I just happened to hear your conversation when visiting Boss Su."

"How is that different from eavesdropping?" Zhou Wangshu retorted.

"Boss Jiang’s curiosity is heavy," Su Yaoguang said, "Wang Shu and I always speak freely and like to joke around. The dumplings are getting soft, hurry and eat!"

After finishing the dumplings, Zhong Chushan said: "Boss Jiang, I want to discuss some business with you."

"Please go ahead, Young Master Zhong."

"It’s too noisy here, hard to explain, let’s go to your place. Come, we’ll just drink a few cups together. Wang Shu, take your wife for a walk, we’ll leave you be."

Chen Buyu wrapped an arm around Jiang Ziqian’s shoulder, "Exactly, we are old acquaintances with Boss Jiang, meeting here today is perfect to drink a few cups and chat, and maybe discuss some business."

Zhou Wangshu paid the bill and pulled Su Yaoguang away, "We’ll head off first."

Su Yaoguang looked back in Jiang Ziqian and the others’ direction.

"They’ve gone far, why look?"

"You haven’t been home for half a month, I thought you were really busy, turns out you’re busy playing with them? No time to go home, but time to play with them?"

Zhou Wangshu leaned closer, "Do you care if I go home?"

"You’re my brother, of course, I care if you come home. You can have bad grades, be unremarkable in both civil and military, but your health must be good, I must ensure you eat well and sleep well."

Zhou Wangshu’s mouth twitched slightly, "Thanks for the blessing."

Is he really that bad? In her eyes, he’s just an unremarkable nobody!

Zhou Wangshu pointed at the lantern across, "I want that one."

"Then buy it!"

"I used my money for the dumplings, don’t have any left."

Su Yaoguang took out her purse and put it in his hand, "Buy it. We aren’t lacking money now."

Zhou Wangshu weighed the purse in his hand and praised, "I like your generous style."

While Zhou Wangshu went to buy the lantern, Su Yaoguang was standing at a sugar figurine stall, discussing with the vendor whether she could make one herself, the vendor agreed, so she started working.

She made two sugar figurines, just skewered them with bamboo sticks and picked them up, turned around and saw Xiao Yanci and Jiang Yihuan. They happened to arrive at the sugar figurine stall too, both sides facing each other.

Xiao Yanci saw the sugar figurines in Su Yaoguang’s hand, one looked like her, one looked like Zhou Wangshu. This reminded him of when she used to make sugar figurines for him, but he found them childish and threw them away.

Su Yaoguang saw the two, frowned and walked directly past them, heading towards Zhou Wangshu holding a lantern.

"Look what this is?"

Zhou Wangshu saw the sugar figurines in her hand and said with distaste, "So ugly."

Xiao Yanci’s eyes flashed with irony.

See! Even with a different person, they still disdain her actions.

Su Yaoguang didn’t understand?

Men like women like Huan’er, gentle and lovely, not rough-handed women who only know work and don’t understand tenderness.

"It’s because someone is ugly, it can only be made like this." Su Yaoguang didn’t care about his disdain, and bit off ’Zhou Wangshu’s’ arm.

"You ate it!" Zhou Wangshu shouted, "You purposefully made it into my likeness just to eat it?"

"It’s a sugar figurine, of course, it’s meant to be eaten, what else can it be besides a decoration?" Su Yaoguang said as she ate, "If you don’t eat it now, it’ll melt later, such a waste."

Zhou Wangshu grabbed the other sugar figurine from her hand and bit off her head, "You’re right, it’s too wasteful to let it melt, better eat it."

"You dare to bite its head off! That’s my head!"

"Ha, it’s a sugar figurine, better eat it than let it melt. Your real head is too big, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t bite it off!"

"Zhou Wangshu, I think you need a beating." Su Yaoguang rolled up her sleeves ready to hit.

Zhou Wangshu didn’t dodge, but instead stuffed the lantern in her hand, "It’s dark, carry it."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

The punch couldn’t be thrown.

"Wang Shu, you’re still the best." Su Yaoguang nudged his arm with her elbow.

Zhou Wangshu’s mouth curled up, "Good you know it. Keep your eyes open, not everyone is as good-looking and gentle as me."

Su Yaoguang: "..."

So shameless.

She just couldn’t refute it.

"Brother Xiao..." Jiang Yihuan tugged on Xiao Yanci, "What are you doing? You’ve crushed the lantern."

Xiao Yanci snapped back to reality, looked at the crushed lantern, and tossed it aside.

"Broken is broken."

Jiang Yihuan frowned, "Brother Xiao, you seem very focused on Su Yaoguang and Zhou Wangshu, did they do something to upset you?"

Ever since Xiao Yanci made a fool of himself, the academy wouldn’t let him leave, insisting he prepare for the exams in peace. In truth, Xiao Yanci was embarrassed enough and didn’t want to show his face.

Yet for some reason, he couldn’t feel at peace.

Anyway, he had already become the Champion Scholar in his past life and served for many years in the court, with the exam questions already known and years of bureaucratic experience, there shouldn’t be any issue in the exams. The Champion Scholar position was his in the past life, and it would be his now. More glorious than before.

"Nothing special. Just don’t like them, seeing them annoys me." Xiao Yanci said, "Let’s ignore them. Huan’er, let me personally make you a sugar figurine, alright?"

"As long as it’s from Brother Xiao, it’s the best in my eyes." Jiang Yihuan said shyly.
