Chapter 10 The Sorrows of Young Werther (Additional Chapter 78 for Golden Sprout @ Top Fan)_2

The little girl had simply come downstairs out of politeness to greet them; she wasn't in a frantic rush to compete with Nie Guangyi for food.

Knowing the truth, Nie Guangyi suddenly felt a tinge of remorse at the bottom of his heart.

It was just well hidden.

To the extent that it was unlikely anyone would ever discover it in this lifetime.

"Hasn't your sister always been practicing dance here?" Cheng Nuo pointed to the vast "Goose Rearing and Pigeon Releasing Studio".

"My sister said that now the first floor has become Sister Cheng Nuo's studio, today many people have come, and in the future there will be even more, my sister also said that from now on we can't come here to practice dancing anymore."

"Is that so?" Cheng Nuo said regretfully, "That really is a loss for our Fishing Coffee!"

"Fishing Coffee..." Zong Yi stuttered, scratching the back of her head, "That name is so interesting."

"Isn't it?" Cheng Nuo pointed at Nie Guangyi and agreed with a smile, "It was this super talented young gentleman who came up with it."

"Big brother is so impressive."

A comment that should have been laced with irony, sounded sincere and adorable when it came from Zong Yi.

Nie Guangyi suddenly wasn't worried about someone competing with him for the slices of boiled fish anymore.

"Little sister, we are not open for business yet today; it's just your Sister Nuo entertaining her boyfriend. You and your sister can still come over here to dance."

Nie Guangyi had just thought it over, and considering it was still morning, a large pot of boiled fish did indeed seem a bit heavy.

Moreover, there were plenty of fish waiting their turns to be eaten by him.

If he were following European time, it might pass for a midnight snack.

But the thing was, he had already adjusted to the local time difference.

"Entertaining her boyfriend?" Zong Yi looked astonished and directly asked Nie Guangyi, "So, you are Brother Xuan Shi?"

This question just became interesting.

Nie Guangyi rarely smiled so kindly at a little girl: "Do I look like it?"

Although it was Zong Yi who had asked the question, she now vehemently shook her head, asserting, "Not at all."

"Where don't I look like him?" Nie Guangyi asked with great interest.

"In the story of "The Great State's Citizens", Brother Xuan Shi gives me the impression of someone with a refined grace that comes from learning; you are obviously not that type," Zong Yi declared confidently.

Nie Guangyi was choked up with frustration.

His expression changed one hundred and eighty degrees on the spot.

"Brother Xuan Shi has a calm presence in the face of important events, and you lack that too," Zong Yi concluded based on her observations.

"When have I ever not been calm?"

It took only one sentence for Nie Guangyi to start finding fault with the little girl at every turn: "Shouldn't there be a major event first to judge whether I am calm or not?"

Nie Guangyi became anxious, attacking indiscriminately, even at a little girl.

Gentlemanly demeanor?

That was a grace only present when he was in a good mood.

Zong Yi was neither angry nor did she pay any mind.

She was long past the age of five or six.

Moreover, such an attack was nothing compared to even one percent of Lady Meng Lan's.

Zong Yi looked around calmly.

She saw Xuan Shi carrying a plate of fried rice from behind the workbench.

The little girl ran straight over and asked, "You're Brother Xuan Shi, right?"

It was asked with certainty despite being phrased as a question.

Xuan Shi, not quite understanding the situation, still nodded his head amiably.

Receiving an affirmative answer, Zong Yi made a triumphant face at Nie Guangyi.

Despite her young age, Zong Yi was quite accurate in assessing people.

Zong Yi didn't stay long and, waving her hand, said, "Brother Xuan Shi, I'm going to dance with my sister now, I'll come back and look for you and Sister Nuo later."

"Won't you have some fried rice before leaving?" Xuan Shi instinctively held up the plate, calling out in the direction Zong Yi was leaving.

"No can do, Brother Shi, you can't dance right after eating fried rice." After speaking, she also greeted Cheng Nuo, "Sister Nuo, if I don't go up now, my sister won't teach me to dance. I'm heading up now."

"Okay." Cheng Nuo replied, "Be careful, and don't walk backwards."

"All right, Brother Shi, Sister Nuo, see you later."

Zong Yi always ran backwards.

Cheng Nuo didn't continue the conversation, worried that she might fall.

It didn't take long for Nie Guangyi to realize that he had imposed a double neglect on Cheng Nuo that morning.

What goes around, comes around; no one escapes from the cycles of fate.

Was this cycle not a bit too quick?

Forget it, let bygones be bygones.

Now was not the time to be contentious with fate.

For one thing, there were fish in the pot waiting for him to eat.

Secondly, he needed to talk to Cheng Nuo to understand the specific situation of this place.
