As soon as he mentioned Zhao Qixuan, Ye Jiayao understood why Helian Jing seemed a little off today.  That loquacious, homosexual man!  Zhao Qixuan must’ve assumed that she and Chunyu were out doing unspeakable things last night. He must’ve told Little Jingjing, scaring him enough to make him come all the way here just to fish for some information.

To appease Little Jingjing, and also because she did not want to have anything to do with Xia Chunyu, she calmly replied, “He did not make a mistake. To tell you honestly, the Heir-son Lord came to look for me the other day. However, I had a drop too many and I fell into the river, so he looked for me again. It was just all because of the incident where I asked Deng Haichuan to pretend to be me.”

Helian Jing was surprised. “What? He knows that?”

“He is so shrewd and could already tell what the problem was. He just watched you drink vinegar and medicine to prank you!” Ye Jiayao spoke in a muffled voice.

Helian Jing was horrified. “Did… did he make things difficult for you?”

“He thought I was some sort of bad person. He was afraid that I have ulterior motives for getting close to you, but it is all settled now, don’t worry.”

Helian Jing suddenly stood up with indignance. “How can Brother Chunyu do that? How can he just accuse you of having evil intentions when he doesn’t even know you? I have already explained it to him that you’re a good person! No, I will not let this pass. I’m going to speak with him.”

Ye Jiayao tugged at his hand to get him to sit back down. “I said it is alright already. If you go look for him now, you’ll just be finding trouble. Tsk tsk, Little Jing. Look at you, all hot-tempered, so quick to light just like a barrel of explosives. It’s no wonder your brother is so worried about you.”

“My brother? When did you meet my brother?” Helian Jing asked.

Ugh! Ye Jiayao silently cursed her tongue. Why didn’t she think first before speaking? To salvage the situation, she quickly said, “I haven’t. It’s just… you said it yourself, your brother is so strict towards you and he’s not willing to let you handle important matters.”

“Yeah, yeah, I guess you’re right.” Helian Jing smiled embarrassedly, scratching his head.

Now that he finally has some answers and the dark clouds above his head had dispersed, Helian Jing was glad he didn’t jump to conclusions. If he had come up here asking dumb, awkward questions, Big Yaoyao might’ve kicked him down the stairs.

This is all Zhao Qixuan’s fault! That fellow would see a strong wind and immediately assume that it was raining. He was just glad that he reined himself in and didn’t embarrass himself.

Ah Xing served the iced double milk.

“Little Jing, quick, try it, this is my new invention,” Ye Jiayao said warmly.

Helian Jing has absolute faith in Big Yaoyao’s skills, but, after drinking a mouthful, he was still surprised at how good it tasted. “Big Yaoyao… this… this is simply delicious.”

It was sweet and fragrant, smooth and refreshing, and it quenched the thirst he worked up after rushing all the way here. This was the perfect drink for a hot summer day.

“If you like it, I can get Little Yang to send it over to you when I finish making it. What do you think about that?” Ye Jiayao smiled craftily.

Helian Jing nodded absent-mindedly. “Mmm-hmm…”

He was on his third gulp when what Big Yaoyao said finally registered in his head. The glutinous rice balls he was about to eat fell back to the bowl. Helian Jing glanced at Big Yaoyao timidly.
