They were drinking tea in the courtyard, eating melons, and even got a small mud stove set up with fresh chestnuts on top.
"October is the right season for eating chestnuts." Gu Ran spoke with nostalgia as he remembered the times he used to steal chestnuts as a child.
Su Qing glanced at the roasting grid and used tongs to pick a perfectly cracked golden chestnut for him.
"Su Qing, aren't you going to clean him up?" Gege couldn't believe it.
"Xieya, what do you think?" He Qingyan asked.
"I think," Xie Xiya pondered, seemingly using the psychology she had learned recently, "the nicer you are to Gu Ran, the more guilty Gu Ran will feel. Su Qing wants to use this non-violent method to make Gu Ran go crazy."
Okay, that's definitely not psychology; psychology isn't this sinister. This is Xie Xiya's lesson.
Gu Ran, frightened, handed over the peeled chestnut to Su Qing.
Su Qing didn't take it.
She asked, "Do you know Gege is following behind?"
"I know," Gu Ran answered.
