"I... that was before I liked Chao Lian, it doesn't count!"
Erhu explained anxiously.
He hadn't even met her, so better not let Chao Lian know about this.
Qiao Duo'er and the others chuckled quietly—had he not just revealed his true feelings? Had he not just admitted he liked Chao Lian?
Suddenly, Erhu noticed an additional person in the courtyard—his beloved Chao Lian.
Seeing her bashful appearance, he was sure she had overheard everything.
Ooh, how embarrassing!
"I... You did that on purpose!" Erhu declared firmly.
Of all people there, Qiao Duo'er had the best hearing. She must have known Chao Lian was coming and deliberately set a trap for him to fall into.
Unfortunately, he had happily jumped right in.
Face blushing, Chao Lian explained, "I... I came over to see if I could be of help, I'll go check over there."
Erhu followed her anxiously, swearing that wanting to marry Qiao Duo'er's sister had been just a fleeting thought.
