Ch. 21Your Majesty, have a grape
During the beach gathering, Shen Xingcan teased Xie Linchuan by feeding him sour grapes, but Xie Linchuan claimed they tasted sweet. Shen Xingcan ended the scene sulking after discovering the grapes were still sour, while Xie Linchuan quietly smiled at him.
- Ye Ran and Shen Xingcan laughed over Shen Beichen and Jiang Xiaobai's extravagant betrothal gifts, and Xie Linchuan smiled as he looked at his seashell ring.
- Jiang Yifeng and Shen Xingcan traded barbs beside the roast lamb, with Shen Xingcan boasting that Xie Linchuan had accepted his betrothal gifts.
- Shen Xingcan offered Xie Linchuan a sour grape and insisted it was sweet, but Xie Linchuan asked him to try another first.
- Shen Xingcan ate another sour grape, then Xie Linchuan ate one and calmly said it tasted sweet.
- Shen Xingcan tested more grapes, realized they were sour, and angrily moved his chair away from Xie Linchuan, who smiled at him.
