Qin Si's heart was stabbed and he could no longer smile.
Ye Lan sized him up and sighed. She patted his shoulder, comforting him. "… Unrequited love! Don't be too sad."
Qin Si's heart was stabbed again. He had internal injuries now.

Qiao Nian booked a private room in the Mountain Sea Pavilion.
They toasted each other and ate.
Old Master Ye ate a lot. In a good mood today, he even made an exception to drink two mouthfuls of wine. He looked radiant.
Qiao Nian sat on his left. She ate quite a bit too.
Old Master Ye told Ye Wangchuan about the family's business in the independent continent. He did not hide it from Qiao Nian, Qin Si, and the others and spoke for a long time.
Ye Wangchuan replied to him and the two of them stopped talking after a while.
Old Master Ye turned his head to the girl who had not spoken much the entire night. She listened to their conversation quietly and ate with her head lowered.
