Releasing Kongming Lanterns (1)

"... This..." Ye Lang was speechless.

"Stop being stubborn, go and continue with the plan, this is a good opportunity!" Cold-Blooded Fifth kicked Ye Lang away, making him obediently go to the moon-viewing party.

"Alright! I'm going!" Ye Lang did a somersault in the air, landed gracefully, and flew away!

When Ye Lang arrived at the moon-viewing party, he was a little surprised because it seemed a bit too lively!

This moon-viewing party was held in the courtyard of the Bamboo Heart Pavilion, a place that can accommodate nearly a thousand people without feeling crowded. However, Ye Lang clearly felt a bit crowded.

This also means that there are more than a thousand people here!

"Damn it, how am I supposed to approach Li Yue in a situation like this? I might as well go home and get some sleep!" Upon seeing this, Ye Lang decisively decided to turn around and leave.

However, someone next to Ye Lang was staring at him unfriendly. Ye Lang realized that this person seemed to be Athena, who had also been invited.

Under Athena's watchful gaze, Ye Lang had no choice but to slip into the crowd and quickly disappear from Athena's sight. This infuriated Athena, who thought he was clearly avoiding her. Was she really that scary?

You're not scary, but you're annoying!

If Ye Lang were caught by Athena, he would definitely answer the question truthfully. Right now, Ye Lang thinks the most troublesome person is Athena, because Athena is too smart and wants him to do this and that according to her requirements.

Ye Lang could ignore other things, but he had no choice but to compromise on his plan to pursue Li Yue this time!

"Bump!"

Ye Lang bumped into someone in the crowd, or rather, a girl.

"Little sister, are you alright? I didn't mean to... How come it's you again? We're really destined to meet." When Ye Lang helped the girl up, he realized that it was the same girl he had bumped into at the door earlier.

"Oh, it's you again!" The little girl was also very surprised.

"Alright, what do you want your brother to give you this time? Do you still want the toy?" Ye Lang asked.

"No, one is enough! What other fun things do you have?" the little girl asked, her eyes seemingly full of anticipation. It seemed she was very satisfied with the toy Ye Lang had given her.

"There are plenty of fun things, but they're not suitable for a little girl like you. By the way, you'll definitely like this; every girl would like it." Ye Lang took out a large teddy bear from his ring, almost as tall as the little girl.

"Wow, this is so cute... What's it called?" The little girl looked excited, hugging the teddy bear with obvious delight.

"This is called a teddy bear! See? I told you most girls would like this kind of teddy bear. It's also very comfortable to hug and sleep with at night as a pillow." Ye Lang smiled and unconsciously patted the little girl's head.

"..." The little girl's body trembled, and her eyes stared blankly at Ye Lang, filled with a dazed look.

"Hey, why is our Boss Zhu so well-behaved today, just like an ordinary little girl?"

The situation between Ye Lang and the little girl has been noticed by some people, and these people are having similar questions in their minds. Some have even started discussing it.

"You, you, no, impossible, you shouldn't be him, he's not Fox Tribe ..." the little girl said, shaking her head. She seemed to regard Ye Lang as a person.

Just as Ye Lang was about to ask something, someone suddenly ran over and shouted at the little girl—

"Boss Zhu, what's wrong with you? Why are you holding that? Hurry up and go say a few words to everyone. You're the one who organized this moon-viewing party!"

Boss Zhu? Is he talking about this little girl?

"Okay! I'll go right away!" the little girl replied, indicating that she was indeed the Boss Zhu.

"Boss Zhu, why are you still holding that thing? Put it down first." When they went on stage, the person who had spoken earlier noticed that the little girl was still hugging the teddy bear and reminded her.

"No need, this teddy bear will be my treasure..." Boss Zhu carried the teddy bear onto the stage and began to give his speech.

It was at this moment that Ye Lang realized that this little girl, Boss Zhu, was actually a boss. She was the owner of the Bamboo Heart Pavilion and also the owner of a chamber of commerce.

It's hard to believe that such a young girl is the owner of a chamber of commerce, and she seems to have a strong business sense.

At this moment, Ye Lang suddenly remembered that there was a little girl in a similar situation who started taking charge of the household at the age of ten. She seemed to have the same surname, Zhu, and her name was something like Zhu... Zhu what?

"Xiao Zhuer..."

Yes, it's Xiao Zhuer! With a reminder, Ye Lang finally remembered the little girl, the little girl whose name he had forgotten.

That little girl who once came to Ye Lang his recipe and asking him to join her business must have grown up by now, at least as old as Boss Zhu.

Etc...

Who just said that?

Ye Lang finally realized that when he heard the name "Xiao Zhuer," it seemed to be Boss Zhu's speech, and the complete sentence before and after that should be—

Thank you all for coming. On behalf of the Bamboo Heart Pavilion and Bamboo Leaf Commerce, I, Xiao Zhuer, thank you all...

Wow, this "Boss Zhu" is actually "Xiao Zhuer"! This is such a surprise!

Ye Lang cursed inwardly in surprise. He now understood what Xiao Zhuer had wanted to say earlier. It turned out that she had already recognized him. It seemed that he should keep his distance from her and stay away from her.

Bamboo Heart Pavilion, how come I never thought of that? This is clearly the territory of this Boss Zhu, even the name is her own.

Ye Lang wanted to leave, but he knew that he could escape the temple even if he wanted to. If he left now, it would arouse suspicion and he would have to stay.

Actually, there's no problem. I've only met Xiao Zhuer once, so she probably won't recognize me. If she does recognize me, then Li Yue will do too.

In fact, Ye Lang's decision was correct, because Xiao Zhuer would be coming to find him soon, and if he didn't see her, she would become suspicious.

When Xiao Zhuer finished speaking, the crowd below erupted in cheers, and many girls surrounded Xiao Zhuer. They didn't want to get close to Xiao Zhuer, but rather they wanted to know where Xiao Zhuer had bought the item in her hand.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhuer smiled, becoming even more certain that she would come and talk to Ye Lang.

"Brother, what's your name?" Xiao Zhuer came to Ye Lang's side and called him brother very naturally. At this moment, she herself felt strange. According to her personality, why would she call him brother so affectionately? Even if they were discussing important business, there was no need to do so.
