Zhu Wuxin let Xiao Liao wrapped several layers of bandages around her body, only after that she propped herself up. Both of them climbed over the wall as they went before the break of dawn.
"Woah, these people really don't need to sleep!"
At first, Zhu Wuxin thought they were the earliest one to be there. Unexpectedly, there are actually a lot of young men and young ladies that arrived earlier than them. They were so early that they were already keeping guard outside the entrance of the gathering venue.
Xiao Lian supported Zhu Wuxin by her arm and walked to the corner of the road. They waited until the door of the venue opened. After all the people flocked in, they slowly walked inside.
At this point, the two Misses from Zhu House have already dressed properly to the occasion and set out.
"Miss, let us go to the side and wait." Xiao Lian said and supported Zhu Wuxin to the edge of the venue.
But the amount of people who came to attend the gathering was too much. Inevitably, some will bump at Wuxin. Wuxin can't flare out in anger and can only let Xiao Lian lead her to a quiet place and wait there. She relies on Xiao Lian to wait for the food to be taken out and bring some over to her.
The biggest advantage in this Matchmaking Gathering was, both men and women basically ate nothing in order to take care of their image. This makes Zhu Wuxin and Xiao Lian very happy. Nobody ate the food, and that's the best.
"Xiao Lian, look for food! GO! GO! GO!" The moment Zhu Wuxin went inside, she started ordering Xiao Lian around.
Finally, Xiao Lian brought over a variety of fruits and desserts over, sat together with Zhu Wuxin on the stone bench by a stream, eating slowly. The two who had endured hunger for one night, almost swept clean all the food prepared in the venue. In the end, if not for Zhu Wuxin letting Xiao Lian ate a bit of everything, and thinking that there might be different varieties of food to choose later on, these people would be predicted bloated to death.
The sun slowly rose from the east to the sky. The Matchmaking Gathering was also reaching its peak.
She can let Xiao Lian wait for her at the gathering. If Wuxin saw any gentlemen that she liked, then she can try to develop some feelings. If there's none, then she'll just eat whatever it is available to eat. She sat on a side, eating a sweet-scented Osmanthus cake quietly as she casually hum a note. But not so long after some peaceful moments, a group of ladies noisily jesting with each other, walked towards her direction. Zhu Wuxin didn't even spare them a glance and continued eating the pastry in her hand.
The ladies announced it loudly and noisily that they wanted to play throwing sandbags. After spending a great effort to stand up, Zhu Wuxin shifted from her original stone bench to another piece of boulder with a considerable distance away from them. But when the ladies' sandbag contest started, Zhu Wuxin's patience has reached the limit.
What kind of people throw sandbags, that they managed to accurately hit her every time, even though she was so far away? Furthermore, what done is done, they don't even offer any apologies to her as if she is really happy to get hit. The moment the sandbag was thrown at her back for the seventh time, she completely lost it.
She turned around to pick up the sandbag, then threw it into the stream beside her. Among the screaming girls, Zhu Wuxin can clearly see Zhu Jixiang and Zhu Jilan gloating at her mistreatment by the side. Zhu Wuxin pushed herself up to stand, wanting to leave.
But a loud resounding slap was heard, as her cheek was hit by a palm.
