Wei Yichen didn't notice these reactions, as he walked to Tingsong Garden with the item meant for Wei Ruo. He asked Xiumei about Wei Ruo, finding out she was not in Tingsong Garden; so he left the wooden box with Xiumei.
On his way back, he passed by Yizhu Park and happened to see Wei Ruo come out with a smile on her radiant face, while chatting with someone inside.
"Brother, see you tomorrow. I'll come and bring you something delicious again. The pumpkins in my garden are ripe. I will have Meimei make pumpkin pancakes for you," she said.
Wei Ruo turned her head and saw Wei Yichen, who was curiously watching her.
"Big brother," she said, her lively smile replaced by a more restrained expression.
"What's making you so happy?" Wei Yichen asked curiously.
"I just had a delicious meal with my brother," Wei Ruo replied.
"I heard you promised to make pumpkin pancakes for Jinyi. Will I get some too?" Wei Yichen asked.
