When Chi Zhili packed up his instrument and entered Yi Yun Court, Chi Yang had already made a bamboo flute for Xiao Shuyu. Xiao Shuyu was holding it in her hand and inspecting the item carefully.
Her attention was on the exquisite carvings and the name that was specially carved on them.
Xiao Shuyu liked it very much.
She immediately picked up the bamboo flute and played a tune.
Chi Yang nodded. Compared to Chi Zhili, this was like heaven on earth.
'As if listening to immortal music, my ears are temporarily blessed!'
"Your bamboo flute doesn't have thorns?" Chi Zhili asked Xiao Shuyu, breaking the musical trance they were in.
Chi Yang and Xiao Shuyu were both surprised by Chi Zhili's sudden arrival.
Especially when she saw the six instruments on Chi Zhili's waist, Chi Yang suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Brother, Xiao Yu, I have something to do and will leave for a while..." Without waiting for the two of them to reply, Chi Yang left in a hurry.
However, Xiao Shuyu didn't feel the foreboding aura. She shook her head and said to Chi Zhili, "Don't think so,"
"Mine does," Chi Zhili was a little excited.
Xiao Shuyu pursed her lips. 'What was there to be proud of?'
"Do you have bamboo scraps?" Chi Zhili asked again.
"No,"
"Are there some stuck on your lips?"
"No."
Xiao Shuyu was getting impatient.
"Big Cousin, what are you talking about? How could something that Sister Yangyang gave me have such flaws?"
That's right, the flute Yangyang gave Xiao Shuyu had no flaws at all. Only the instruments that she gave him had bamboo chips, thorns, and a loose mouth.
Did Yangyang not like him?
Chi Zhili left dejectedly.
After the older man left, Chi Yang slowly returned to her courtyard.
"What did you two talk about?" Chi Yang asked Xiao Shuyu.
Xiao Shuyu looked at the flute in her hand and thought of the six simple instruments on her eldest cousin's waist. She finally understood why.
"Flute. His flute is not as good as mine."
'This is bad!'
Chi Yang thought to herself.
Chi Zhili loved practicing that instrument so much that he didn't even have time to see Chi Yao.
In other words, Chi Zhili was addicted to music. The fish had drowned in Chi Yao's fish pond.
But what if Chi Zhili didn't like music anymore and went back to Chi Yao? What if the fish came back to life?
"Big Brother! If I polish it for you, it will definitely be a hundred times better than Xiao Shuyu's!" Chi Yang hurriedly chased after Chi Zhili, who had already left.
"No! I mean ten thousand times better!"
Xiao Shuyu watched Chi Yang running out of her court in a daze.
"Sister, I'm still here…"
"Aiya, I'll make you a better one another day. Let's coax him first," Chi Yang winked at Xiao Shuyu, her attempt in placating her.
Obviously, Xiao Shuyu fell for it and didn't say anything else.
Chi Yang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
The two of them chased after Chi Zhili to his court, but they saw an acquaintance there.
Chen Pingting?
Why is Chen Pingting here?
'Why didn't she come to the Chi Manor to look for me? Why did she come to look for Eldest Brother?'
Chi Yang was puzzled.
The East Qi Dynasty's customs were open, and it was not a rare thing for young people who had feelings for each other to meet privately. It was fine as long as there was a limit.
Xiao Shuyu wasn't surprised. Moreover, her eldest cousin was also a handsome man. It was normal for women to like him.
However, looking at her cousin's expression…
"Sister, do you know that girl?" Xiao Shuyu asked.
'Of course I know her. Why don't I know her?'
Chi Yang nodded, "She's my friend."
"Oh, is this the friend who frequently came to look for you to play?... We're going to have a sister-in-law!"
Hearing Xiao Shuyu's exclamation, Chi Yang's previous thought was immediately replaced.
Chen Pingting often came to play with her these days and talked about some interesting news in the capital. Perhaps she really had feelings for Chi Zhili.
Thinking about it this way, having a sister-in-law was not bad.
She didn't resurrect the fish in Chi Yao's pond!
She didn't need to repair Chi Zhili's musical instrument anymore!
It was the best of both worlds!
