Chapter 324 An Example of an Apology

Feeling something was wrong with her nose, she raised her hand to touch it and found that blood had started flowing out on its own.

She hurriedly went to wipe her nose, and Wen Zizhou, seeing her like that, quickly jumped away and covered his own nose. "You kicked me, and I said a few words to you and you got so angry that your nose is bleeding?!"

"Hmph, lousy."

He looked at the roasted chestnuts being trampled on and felt an unbearable pain in his heart, even more painful than being kicked.

Song Tingwan felt extremely guilty and was about to apologize when a small, fair hand appeared in front of her. "Miss, is this yours?"

Wen Luozhi was holding a money bag. She had seen Song Tingwan stop and thought that since she was a young lady, she would help her.

That thief was really fast; she could feel a thin layer of sweat on her back.

"It's mine! Thank you so much, little sister!" Song Tingwan glanced at Wen Luozhi, sensing that she was probably younger than herself, and excitedly accepted the money bag with both hands.

Seeing the dejected Wen Zizhou, Wen Luozhi went up and grabbed his arm, "Third Brother! What did I tell you when we came out?"

"Stop eating and watch where you're going! Watch where you're going!"

She didn't use much force, which made Wen Zizhou both angry and amused.

Wen Zizhou stood to the side, head bowed guiltily, letting his sister scold him. His silence made Song Tingwan feel even more ashamed.

"Little sister, don't blame your brother, it's all my fault."

Song Tingwan took out the largest coin from her purse, stepped forward, and stuffed it into Wen Luozhi's hand, saying, "I'm so sorry, please go to the clinic."

Her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but glance at Wen Zizhou.

She actually kicked someone's butt...

Wen Luozhi's lips twitched slightly, her voice tinged with amusement. "Miss, why don't you wipe around your nose first?"

She took out a few wet wipes and handed them over. Song Tingwan gratefully accepted them, feeling even more embarrassed.

"Humph"

"Humph"

"Hmph!" Wen Zizhou sneered repeatedly. "Who wants your worthless silver? I have my own too." He rolled his eyes at Song Tingwan and said disdainfully.

Baiweizhai's business is booming. He not only receives his wages but also daily commissions, so he's not short of money now.

Song Tingwan was at a loss for what to do. Should she let them kick her back?

She immediately shook her head and rejected the idea as soon as it crossed her mind. She was a young lady! That was just too undignified…

Wen Zizhou crossed his arms and refused to accept the apology, while Song Tingwan was at a loss, helplessly drawing circles with her toes.

Wen Luozhi sighed silently and returned the coin to Song Tingwan. "Miss, just go to the shop near the bridge and buy some roasted chestnuts for my brother. It must be from the shop near the bridge."

She felt both contempt and helplessness. Just look at the heartache on Wen Zizhou's face when he looked at those chestnuts, and you'll know what that guy was thinking.

As expected, Wen Zizhou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, but when Song Tingwan looked at him, he turned his head away and snorted coldly.

Song Tingwan: ...

"I'll go buy it right away, you guys wait for me here."

"Please wait for me!"

She pushed through the crowd and ran straight to the shop Wen Luozhi had mentioned.

Seeing Wen Zizhou rubbing his bottom, Wen Zixun couldn't help but tease him, "The pain won't hurt anymore after you eat some roasted chestnuts."

Wen Zizhou pursed his lips and glanced at him. The group then found a nearby stall and sat down.

Two cups of tea later, Song Tingwan returned. Not seeing anyone, she looked around and saw Wen Luozhi waving at her.

She ran over breathlessly, shoving the roasted chestnuts in her arms at Wen Zizhou. "Young master, I'll buy everything in the shop to make amends."

"I hope the young master can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against such a petty person."

She spoke with utmost sincerity, and when Wen Zizhou looked up and saw the thin layer of sweat on her forehead, he felt a little guilty.

There were so many people today; they had to wait in line for a long time to buy their food.

He pointed to the empty chair opposite him and said arrogantly, "Sit down and have some water. Be careful next time."

"It's only because I'm kind-hearted that I won't hold it against you."

He reached for the pile of hot, roasted chestnuts as he spoke, and Wen Luozhi was speechless at his ravenous appetite.

"That's just how my brother talks, please don't take it to heart, young lady."

"There's so much, you should eat some too," Wen Luozhi said to Song Tingwan.

She really didn't expect that this girl would buy all the roasted chestnuts in the shop. Now Wen Zizhou would eat so many that he would get blisters on his lips and still not be able to finish them.

Song Tingwan shook her head. "It's alright, it was my fault to begin with."

Seeing that Wen Zizhou was having some difficulty peeling the shells, she took a bag, grabbed some shells, and started peeling them herself.

Wen Zizhou glanced at it only, thinking to himself that since she bought it, of course he would let her eat it.

Song Tingwan peeled a small plate of chestnuts and pushed it towards him. Wen Zizhou looked at the extra shelled chestnuts in front of him, raised his hand, and asked blankly, "What are you doing?"

There was still something on the corner of his mouth. Song Tingwan suppressed a smile and said apologetically, "It's also to apologize."

After saying that, she quickly lowered her head and continued peeling chestnuts, no longer looking at Wen Zizhou's face.

She was afraid that her nose would act up and bleed again soon...

Wen Luozhi sat next to Song Tingwan, eating and watching her reactions.

Tsk tsk, I knew it! That explained why she had a nosebleed.

She didn't believe it when Da Ya and Er Ya told her.

Looking at Wen Zizhou, who was eating with a rapt expression, Wen Luozhi had to admit that her third brother was indeed quite handsome.

Song Tingwan was very outgoing, and the group quickly got into a conversation.

Upon hearing that this was her first time visiting Shanquan Town and that she wasn't very familiar with the area, Wen Luozhi waved her little hand excitedly and said, "Then come with us tonight! We know this place well!"

Song Tingwan was naturally overjoyed. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they strolled along the street to the place where the lanterns were being released.

Lanterns of various styles floated on the river. Wen Luozhi picked up a pen and wrote a long, dense string of words, though she didn't know what they were.

She rolled up the note and tucked it under the lantern, then carefully placed the lantern into the river, just like everyone else.

Turning her head, she saw that Song Tingwan next to her also had a serious expression on her face.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of the word "marry" on her note.

Wen Luozhi's eyes darted around, guessing that she was hoping to find a good family to marry into?

Song Tingwan released the lantern, silently hoping that the kind of thing she had wished for would never happen again.

They didn't go back until there were fewer people. When they learned that Song Tingwan was staying at an inn, Wen Luozhi thought it wasn't safe for a young woman to go home alone at night, so the rest of them escorted her to the inn's entrance.

Song Tingwan was a little reluctant to part ways, as this was the first time she had played with others since she had been away from home for so long.

She lived on the second floor, on the side facing the street. After entering the house, she thought about it and still couldn't bear to leave, so she went to the window to see how far they had gone.

Wen Zizhou was just turning around to see what the name of this expensive inn was when he suddenly saw Song Tingwan looking at them.

He grinned, then waved at Song Tingwan before turning his head away.

Song Tingwan abruptly pulled her head back, leaned against the wall, and clutched her chest, feeling as if a little deer was about to jump out of her chest.

She hurriedly raised her hand to touch her nose, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness I didn't get a nosebleed...
