The boy smiled broadly, "I didn't expect to encounter something so interesting today. Right, Fourth Brother?"
Only then did I notice the purple-robed man behind him, who also possessed an exceptionally handsome face, albeit a more somber one.
The man in purple robes slowly opened his lips and said, "In that case, I will judge the contest between Miss Liu and that other girl just now."
Lin Ruixuan nodded in agreement.
I wonder who he is, that he speaks with such authority.
"I think Sister Liu's performance was great. At least I've never laughed so happily before." The boy winked at me.
Suddenly she ran to my side and said, "Sister Liu, can I come and play with you sometime?"
Faced with the handsome young man's request, I really couldn't bring myself to refuse. I nodded.
"Very good."
He suddenly leaned in close.
His collar was grabbed, forcing the boy to stand up. His face contorted in a grimace, he said, "Fourth Brother, I just thought Sister Liu smelled like Mother..."
The man in the purple robe tossed him aside.
I glanced at that adorable boy. Surely I don't look like his mother. That's just too much...
"What does the Fourth Young Master think?"
The man in purple robes suddenly fell silent, his eyes then turning to me. "Miss Liu, what are your thoughts?"
"What?" I asked, seeing everyone turning to me with puzzled looks. "Whatever you want, let's play rock-paper-scissors to decide whether I marry you or not."
Lin Ruixuan's expression changed, "Liu Feiyue!" He felt an indescribable gloom in his heart.
"What?" She glared at him, annoyed.
The handsome young man exclaimed, "It seems that Sister Liu doesn't actually like Young Master Lin at first sight, as the rumors say. Oh... the rumors are wrong."
I looked up and said, "The man I like must love me ten thousand times more than he loves himself. And he must be loyal and faithful to me."
A look of horror crossed everyone's eyes. What a terrifying shrew this was!
Lin Ruixuan angrily retorted, "This is utterly unreasonable!"
A thoughtful glint appeared in the purple-robed man's eyes. "Indeed, Miss Liu's ideas are unusual."
Taking advantage of his brother's lack of intervention, the handsome young man moved closer again. "Sister Liu, you're so interesting! I like you more and more."
"Alright, I'll tell my father about this." Lin Ruixuan angrily raised his sleeves. "The marriage between the Lin family and the Liu family is canceled."
He said something to the two men and left angrily.
"Everyone says that Young Master Lin is the kind of person who wouldn't flinch even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, so why is he so easily angered today?" He suddenly glanced at Liu Feiyue, "Sister Liu, is it because of you?"
The man in the purple robe glanced in their direction.
Xue Rou stared in astonishment at the composed woman, unable to believe that she could be defeated by such a person.
"Young Master, Xue Rou..."
"Get down." A cold voice said.
Xue Rou looked up at the purple-robed man with a hint of grievance, "Young Master..."
Suddenly, she caught sight of the white jade thumb ring on the man's thumb, and a guess flashed through her mind, startling her. Her face turned pale. She felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Trembling, she left.
Ping'er glanced at the people slowly leaving. "Miss, what do we do next?"
"Go home!" He clapped his hands and stood up decisively.
"Sister Liu," her clothes were suddenly grabbed, her bright black eyes sparkling, "Sister Liu, let me go back with you!"
Ping'er said helplessly, "Miss, the bridal sedan chair is gone."
"Then let's walk back."
"But..." she glanced at the bright red wedding dress, "this dress..."
"It's beautiful! It's alright, Ping'er, I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat!"
Seeing Ping'er's embarrassed look, he knew in his heart that she must have run out of money.
"Shota, do you have money?" I asked, looking at the handsome boy who was clinging to me.
"Little boy? Are you calling me?" He looked surprised and giggled a few times. "I didn't bring any money, but my fourth brother has money." He turned around. "Fourth brother, right?"
I turned to look at the deep purple-robed man, and pulled the handsome young man aside. "Hey, who is he? He's so imposing."
He smiled adorably, "My name is Dugu Ziyi, and his name is Dugu Jing. But I still prefer you to call me Zhengtai."
"Really? I think it sounds even better too." She patted his soft hair. "You're so cute."
What is "kawaii"?
A curious child. "It just means cute and pretty."
"Beautiful? Isn't 'beautiful' a word used to describe women?" He frowned.
"No, no," I continued to explain, "It can also describe a man, like someone like you, who will definitely marry a very, very beautiful woman in the future."
"No." He shook his head. "I only like women like Sister Liu. She's very interesting, and I'm happy every day."
"We've arrived at the restaurant."
We quickly stopped talking and glanced back at the deep-set-out Dugu Jing. Strange, why is he always staring at my back?
Dugu Ziyi was a good boy; he ordered a lot of delicious food.
"Sister Liu, you must try this, it's especially delicious..."
"How is it?" Bright eyes stared at me. "It tastes good, right? I often sneak out..." Suddenly, he glanced at his fourth brother beside him and lowered his head.
I smiled knowingly. "Hey, Jing, you don't always have to wear that cold, serious face. Smiling more will help you live a long and healthy life."
Dugu Jing remained unmoved, sitting silently.
"No fun. Come on... little boy, let's have a drink. Hehe..." I picked up the flask, "Here, have a taste..."
Dugu Ziyi glanced furtively at the person behind her.
"It's okay, just a little. He won't find out..." I lowered my voice and chuckled.
"How is it?" Looking at his flushed face, he looked really cute and adorable.
"It's so spicy..." she said, sticking out her tongue, her eyes wet and almost dripping with tears.
I shook my head and grabbed his face, "Haha...puppy, puppy..."
"It hurts...it hurts...Sister Liu, let go! It hurts...let go..."
"pain……"
Dugu Jing, who was standing nearby, quickly rushed over.
"Fourth Brother, please help me, it hurts so much..."
Dugu Ziyi's tears streamed down her face from the pain. Dugu Jing glanced at Liu Feiyue, whose eyes were slightly narrowed and whose face was flushed with drunkenness. His lips twitched a few times.
He grabbed her hand, the smooth feel sending a shiver down his spine. "Fourth Brother, hurry..." "Fourth Brother..." Dugu Ziyi was almost in tears. Dugu Jing's eyes darkened, and he swept her up in his arms. In a daze, I was fondling that adorable boy. But then, suddenly, it was the deep-thinking Dugu Jing. "Boy, boy..." I murmured with a silly grin. I noticed those gloomy eyes had suddenly multiplied into four, and I waved my hand, "Don't scare me, I'm not easily frightened..." "Liu Feiyue!" My ears rang, and I suddenly felt sleepy. I murmured something, found a comfortable position, and drifted off to sleep.

Chapter 5 Peeping
My head is spinning, all confused. In my daze, I hear a commotion.
"Granny Chen, what are you doing? Can't you see that our young lady is still asleep in bed?"
"Someone, carry the Fourth Miss to Mingyin Hall."
"No, no!!"
He opened his eyes suddenly and saw Ping'er facing off against an old woman in a maroon dress.
“Ping’er…” her voice was hoarse.
