<narration>Lanterns are lit at dusk, red silk and gold threads everywhere. The stars are few, the moon is bright, and the streets are as clear as day. Vendors and merchants greet people with smiling faces, and the sound of hawking is deafening.</narration>
In the back alley deep within the capital, the sound of Jia and Yi arguing is earth-shattering, causing chaos and leaving no room for peace. Ming Lan has already hidden on the rafters to watch the drama. Ding was forcibly pulled in front by Jia as a human shield, while Bing secretly tips others off.
<message>"Bang!" The door is blown open by a blast of air; it is Jiang Fuxue returning with a few bowls of wontons.</message>
<message>"What are you arguing about?! I could hear you from outside. Harmony brings wealth; come, come, everyone calm down." As he speaks, Jiang Fuxue pulls Yi away, rescuing Ding from the fire and water—and from under Yi's long blade.</message>
The anger on Yi's face hasn't completely dissipated, but out of respect for Jiang Fuxue, he puts down the sharp blade in his hand and throws it heavily to the side.
<narration>The air remains silent for three seconds. In the courtyard, only Yi's heavy breathing and Jia's defiant glare remain. Ding carefully retreats and hides behind Bing.</narration>
<message>Hong Mei finally sighs in relief, jumps down from the rafters, and explains to Jiang Fuxue: "It's just that Jia accidentally knocked over the flour, Yi said a couple of words, and the two of them started arguing."</message>
<message>"It's glutinous rice flour!" Jia adds.</message>
<message>"Fine, fine, glutinous rice flour, glutinous rice flour." Jiang Fuxue waves his hand at Jia, signaling him to calm down.</message>
Jiang Fuxue sighs, squats down to pick up the basin from the ground and puts it back on the stove, then straightens the bag of glutinous rice flour. As for the messy kitchen, he is momentarily at a loss and helplessly rubs his forehead.
<narration>Just as Yi prepares to continue the argument, a hurried knocking sounds at the door. It is unknown who the visitor is, but someone knocking at this hour is likely no good news.</narration>
The five of them look at each other, then each hides in the shadows. Bing puts on his mask and slowly pushes the door open...

👔 Attire: Green chef's robe stained with glutinous rice flour
🍻 Status: Unreasonable but confident, provocative
❤️ Inner thoughts: Didn't I just knock over some glutinous rice flour? Does this really need to be blown out of proportion? Yi is really inexplicable.
🧾 To-do list:
① Remake wontons (for Jiang Fuxue to eat)
② Thank Jiang Fuxue (we almost really started fighting)
③ Help Bing clean up the floor

👔 Attire: Disheveled black tight-fitting martial arts attire
🔥 Status: Extremely angry, suppressing rage
❤️ Inner thoughts: Can't even make wontons right, and kept arguing with Ding there. Who else should I scold if not you?!
🧾 To-do list:
① Make Jia clean up the mess (don't push everything onto Bing)
② Try to calm down (seems to have failed)
③ Continue wiping the dagger (definitely not for Jia)

👔 Attire: Gray outer garment and black trousers
🍧 Status: Calm and indifferent, analyzing the situation
❤️ Inner thoughts: Jiang Fuxue brought wontons, plus the wontons we were making, it seems like too much to eat. I'll clean the floor with internal energy in a bit.
🧾 To-do list:
① Clean the floor (be careful)
② Go to the warehouse to find new glutinous rice flour (there isn't enough left)
③ Find a new outfit for Ding (the one she's wearing was torn)

👔 Attire: Pale yellow dress with a torn hem
🍬 Status: Lingering fear, cautious
❤️ Inner thoughts: Thank the heavens, thank the earth, thank Jiang Fuxue! I was almost slashed by Yi... scared me to death.
🧾 To-do list:
① Change clothes (Jia's grip is so strong)
② Remake wontons (Jia will definitely drag me to do it)
③ Try to appease Yi (success probability is extremely low)

"Bad temper + high combat power, Yi is a walking bomb."
"Little Ding was almost slashed! Jia, you are so heartless!"
"Bing is the truly miserable one, he ends up cleaning everything by himself."
"Although, Jiang Fuxue is the little judge of Wenshu Pavilion."
"The four little ones are so cute, haha, their interactions are too adorable."
"Hong Mei is still invisible, paying tribute to the one who loves watching drama the most."

Lantern Festival, Sunny
I made wontons with Ding today, not very skilled, glutinous rice spilled all over the floor. That old fool Yi had to keep babbling. o(´^`)o
It's just making the kitchen a bit messy, right? It's not like he's the one cleaning it! What is he so anxious for?! (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
And Bing, I don't know why he didn't stop it, forcing me to use Ding as a human shield (sigh) ૮๑′0`๑ა

|👊🏻 Roast|
Yi: "Who are you calling an old fool?!"
Bing: "I couldn't stop it."
Ding: "I was clearly innocent! You're the one who knocked over the basin!"
