"Amazing!"

Regardless of her numb hands, Kamisato Ayaka's eyes were filled with wonder.

It’s surprising that there are people of the same age who can be so talented!

The fierceness around Yu Xiuwen has now disappeared, and he has become gentle again.

He smiled slightly, looking quite gentle.

"Thank you for letting me do that. Are you not hurt?"

Linghua shook her head.

Qianzhi patted his shoulder, feeling proud.

"That's amazing! He has no sympathy for women at all."

"After all, this is the first competition, and Ms. Kamisato is very capable, so there's no need to let her down."

"Yeah, too."

Qianzhi agreed with what he said.

If it were her, she wouldn't let him off.

"Well, if it's okay, you don't have to call me Miss Kamisato. Just call me Ayaka."

Linghua said shyly.

Yu Xiuwen hesitated for a moment, but didn't refuse and nodded, "Okay, Linghua."

Qianzhi watched this scene with satisfaction, "That's right, we will be friends from now on~"

"Friends, yes, we are friends," Linghua repeated the word several times, as if confirming something. Her body and mind relaxed at this moment. "Can I ask, Xiuwen...how long have you been learning swordsmanship?"

"Uh, a few months."

Yu Xiuwen scratched his head and replied.

"A few months?!"

Linghua widened her eyes in surprise, then lowered her head dejectedly.

I've been practicing for a long time, but I'm still not as good as a peer who has only practiced for a few months...

Kamisato Ayaka, who had always been praised by her teachers for her intelligence and diligence, suffered a heavy blow.

Seeing her like this, Yu Xiuwen and Qianzhi felt a little embarrassed.

Qian Zhi stretched out her finger and pressed it on Yu Xiuwen's face. "Look, you've made me sad."

"You can't blame me for this..."

Yu Xiuwen retorted in a low voice, he was indeed a fast learner, was it his fault that he was talented?

But he couldn't just leave Linghua alone, so Yu Xiuwen had to comfort her: "Linghua, uh... well, you don't have to be sad. Sister Qianzhi can't beat me."

"You asked me to comfort you, but you actually dragged me into this. You're really itching for trouble."

Qianzhi clenched her fist and punched Yu Xiuwen in dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you come and comfort me, Sister Qianzhi..."

"I can't comfort you, please comfort me in another way."

"... "

The two people were whispering.

Kamisato Ayaka, who was standing nearby, had already adjusted her mood, and when she heard the conversation between the two, she burst out laughing.

"I'm not sad, I'm just a little bit discouraged. But everyone has different strengths. I can't beat Xiu Wen, which only means I'm not as talented as him in this area. It's not surprising."

It also happened to let her realize that there are always people better than her. She should practice more diligently in the future and must not be proud and complacent.

Seeing that she had no intention of lying, Qian Zhi and Yu Xiu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.

As expected of Princess Egret, she can see through everything, a lady from a noble family.

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard the voice of a servant not far away.

"Miss, is there anyone over there?"

Their expressions suddenly changed, and they immediately climbed up the wall: "Linghua, we'll come and play with you another day. We're leaving first."

"Ah okay."

Linghua waved her hand with a bit of regret, but also with a bit of anticipation, and turned back to deal with the servants.

------

From then on, Qianzhi would climb over the wall with Yu Xiuwen to enter Kamisato's house from time to time, and their relationship became better and better.

In a state of high vigilance, they have never been caught.

In addition to daily training, Yu Xiuwen would sneak into the woods in the middle of the night to practice his dual swords.

He didn't dare to look for monsters again. After all, if he got injured, it would definitely make his family worry. It would be better for him to become stronger before going.

As time went by, there was another thing that distracted Yu Xiuwen.

Chiori's birthday is coming.

This is Qianzhi's first birthday since coming to this family, and Yu Xiuwen said that it must be taken seriously.

So he thought about it and decided to make a cake himself.

He wanted to buy some things, but he was too young now, and no one would use the money he earned from working.

I felt embarrassed to ask my parents for money, so I had no choice but to make a gift myself.

It just so happens that if it’s a birthday, people usually have cake, so Yu Xiuwen simply started learning how to cook.

Even though they live in the same house, it’s impossible to hide it from Chizhi.

But seeing how hard he was trying, Qianzhi thought about it and decided not to bring up the matter.

Just think of it as maintaining some expectations. If you ask everything in advance, he might be disappointed.

Qianzhi is usually straightforward with others and says everything directly, but when it comes to family members, it is nice to keep a little mystery occasionally.

And just like that, Chiori's birthday soon arrived.

Yu Xiuwen nervously brought the cake over and cut a piece for Qianzhi, wanting to see her reaction.

Qianzhi looked serious. After carefully tasting a few bites, she gave her evaluation: "Hmm...it's still a little bit greasy."

"Chiori?"

Xun and Ling's faces froze. This kid still spoke so directly.

Yu Xiuwen was in a low mood. He had asked his mother in advance about Qianzhi's taste, but she was tired of her cooking.

"But, I like it."

Qianzhi then added another sentence with a smile on her face.

"Thank you for preparing the cake for me, Xiu Wen."

Yu Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled comfortably: "Well, next year I will make it more to your taste."

"Wait and see."

The atmosphere between the two children remained harmonious, or even closer.

Xun and Ling looked at each other and relaxed.

They have completely gotten along with each other. It was a wise decision to adopt Yu Xiuwen into our family.

------

Shortly after Chiori's birthday, it was Kamisato Ayaka's birthday.

It was actually Chiori who asked about the date.

She and Yu Xiuwen discussed it and decided that as friends, they should also prepare gifts.

But it is definitely impossible to give it to her on her birthday, because Linghua will most likely not show up at the place where they usually play on that day.

It can only be a day before or after your birthday.

As for the gift, Qianzhi took the lead and bought a bracelet as a gift for her and Xiuwen. She spent a long time choosing.

The money used was also the pocket money saved by Qianzhi.

Linghua was very happy when she received it.

Although as the eldest daughter of the Kamisato family, she has no shortage of jewelry, and the bracelet given by Qianzhi and Yu Xiuwen is not a particularly valuable one, but it was given by a friend, which is precious enough for Linghua.
