Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

She couldn't help but let out a huge yawn, then hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand, afraid her lapse would affect Luo Shun's mood.

After composing herself slightly, Qianqian patted her own mouth and said to Luo Shun, "Alright, you just read in peace. If you need any books, just have the Steward go buy them.

If you're worried the Steward might buy the wrong ones, you can also go to the Zhangfang to withdraw some silver and buy them yourself. Don't feel bad about it; every penny you spend is recorded by the Steward. When you become an official in the future, you'll have to pay it all back to me!"

Luo Shun hurriedly said, "No problem, rest assured! I guarantee I'll pay back every single penny."

Qianqian nodded in satisfaction, then said, "Then it's settled. I'll go back and take a nap first; you just stay here and read properly." Finished speaking, she turned and slowly left,

Drowsiness surged like a tide; she felt her eyelids were pressed down by a thousand-jin weight, heavy to the point of being almost unable to open.

However, she did not choose to walk home, but instead employed lightness skill, her figure like a ghost streaking through the air.

In the blink of an eye, she had returned to Tianji Yuan, then collapsed onto the bed like a puddle of mud, utterly without image, and instantly fell into dreamland.

On the other side, Luo Shun originally intended to see Qianqian off a ways, but when he stepped out the door a step late, he discovered Qianqian had already vanished without a trace.

He couldn't help feeling a bit lost, but there was nothing to be done; he could only turn back to the Shufang and continue burying his head in bitter study.

The matter of the Spring Imperial Examination finally settled, and Qianqian could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She slept comfortably in bed, as if to make up for all the fatigue of these past days. And Luo Shun, from then on, stayed in the Shufang all day, burying his head in bitter study, completely ignoring outside affairs.

Time flew; in a flash, less than a month remained until the New Year.

The weather grew colder and colder; today Qianqian specially wore a bright red Rujun, over which she wore a snowy white Fox Fur Coat White cloak, and around her neck a scarf of the same color, wrapping both ears up tight, ensuring they wouldn't be frostbitten.

Today, Qianqian prepared to go out on the streets for a stroll, to feel the New Year atmosphere.

So, she had made an appointment with Qi Xi yesterday for a time. At this moment, Qianqian boarded the carriage, heading toward Qi Xi's home.

And Qi Xi had also tidied up early, waiting full of joy for Qianqian to come pick her up.

After Qianqian arrived at Qi Xi's Men Kou, the guards at the door saw her and hurried forward to welcome her, and led her into the Fu Di. After entering the Fu Di, Qianqian impatiently shouted Qi Xi's name; Qi Xi saw Qianqian and was also very happy. The two young ladies met up and discussed going to see Yan Shuang'er first, then going shopping afterwards.

After all, Qianqian hadn't seen Yan Shuang'er for a period of time, and missed her very much.

When Qianqian and Qi Xi together arrived at Yan Shuang'er's residence, they happened to catch Yan Shuang'er just after she had finished breakfast.

Hearing Qianqian's shout, Yan Shuang'er immediately stood up, walked quickly to the door, and looked out. Sure enough, not long after, she saw Qianqian and Qi Xi walk in one after the other.

More precisely, Qianqian ran in the whole way. Her steps were light and joyful, as if her heart was filled with endless delight.

Yan Shuang'er was incomparably familiar with Qianqian's voice; that clear, pleasant shout made her involuntarily reveal a smile.

Yan Shuang'er stood at the door, quietly watching Qianqian run flying toward her.

Because she ran too fast, the scarf around Qianqian's neck was blown down by the wind, revealing her red little face, like a ripe apple, adorable.

Yan Shuang'er reached out both hands, gently stroking Qianqian's cheeks. Her fingertips transmitted a chill, making her involuntarily frown.

However, compared to Yan Shuang'er's warm palms, Qianqian felt exceptionally comfortable.

Yan Shuang'er looked at Qianqian's slightly bashful appearance and said softly, "You, always so reckless. Look, your face is frozen red. Sit down quickly, drink some hot water to warm up."

Before her words fell, the Yatou at the side had already understood tacitly, quickly picked up a teacup, and poured Qianqian a cup of steaming hot water.

Just then, Qi Xi arrived late. She walked before Yan Shuang'er and called out respectfully, "Sister-in-law."

Yan Shuang'er wore a smile and replied gently, "Xi Xi, come quickly, frozen badly? Sit down quick and drink some water." Finished speaking, she personally picked up the teapot and poured a cup of water for Qi Xi.

Qianqian smacked her lips, carefully savoring the tea in the cup, then praised incessantly, "San Jie, the tea here is really delicious!"

Yan Shuang'er smiled slightly and explained, "You don't come often, so naturally it feels fresh. I drink it every day, so instead I feel it's just so-so. But if you like it, when you leave later, I'll give you some to take back."

Qianqian hurriedly waved her hand, smiling as she refused, "No need, San Jie, we already have plenty of tea at home."

Seeing this, Yan Shuang'er didn't insist further, and instead asked, "You came to find Xi Xi today, where do you plan to go play?" Qianqian picked up the teacup, took a light sip, then put down the cup and said with a smile, "It's almost New Year, so I thought I'd go out for a stroll, see if there's anything novel. San Jie, do you want to come along?"

Hearing this, Yan Shuang'er smiled slightly and replied, "Yes, it's almost New Year. This is my first New Year at the Qi family; honestly, I'm a little nervous."

Seeing this, Qi Xi hurriedly comforted, "Sister-in-law, don't be nervous. Our family is simple; not many relatives visit at New Year. It might not be as Re Na as when you were at the Wangfu before, but it has its own flavor."

Yan Shuang'er heard Qi Xi's words and her heart settled a little; she said, "That's good then. I really was a bit worried I wouldn't get used to it."

At this moment, Qianqian suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly, "San Jie, have you written any new Picture Books recently? I've been bored to death lately, nothing to read."

Yan Shuang'er looked at Qianqian's expectant eyes and couldn't help laughing, saying gently, "Recently I really haven't had any good ideas, so I haven't written any."

Seeing this, Qi Xi had a brainwave and Proposed, "How about this: we go out for a stroll together later; maybe we'll run into something interesting on the streets, give San Jie some inspiration."

Yan Shuang'er heard this, felt the idea was Not Bad, and immediately agreed, "Works too. Recently I've been feeling quite bored anyway. Then let's go together."

As soon as Qianqian heard Yan Shuang'er was going out together, she immediately became happy like a child, clapped her hands and said, "Great great! San Jie, you go get dressed quick, I can't wait!"
