"Not anymore." Xia Yinian said softly.
"Don't overthink it." Gu Lingqian held her, lowered his head, and kissed her forehead again.
Xia Yinian pursed her lips, wanting to push him away, but saw two servants approaching.
She thought too much herself, she and Brother Ling Qian had agreed they were siblings, she shouldn't doubt that.
"By the way, Brother Ling Qian, are there really a lot of participants in this year's Alchemy Competition?"
Xia Yinian, in Gu Lingqian's embrace, looked up at him naturally.
"Yeah, did you think I made up lies just to help Uncle?" Gu Lingqian lowered his eyes, meeting the girl's gaze.
"That's not it either." Xia Yinian shook her head, "With so many people, it seems really difficult to win this time."
"As long as it's a valuable competition, winning is never easy." Gu Lingqian retracted his gaze, looking at the road ahead.
Xia Yinian also retracted her gaze, nodding.
Brother Ling Qian was right, a victory that's too easy is not really a victory.
