Ji Pianran was afraid someone might see her blushing.
She stammered out her words and then quickly stood up, lowering her head as she walked toward the kitchen.
Gu Chen at this moment had absolutely no clue what had just happened, staring blankly at Ji Pianran's retreating figure.

After savoring apples and sitting for a little over ten minutes, seeing that it had fully darkened outside, they happily went back home.
Xiao Tangtang was someone who got lively with company, refusing to sleep when there were people around.
During the day, just to play with the adults for a bit longer, she insisted on not taking her nap.
Now that everyone had left, she started yawning, her eyes barely open with fatigue.
