My sister just glanced back and immediately jumped behind me, shrieking, “It’s him, it’s him! I can’t believe he followed me here…”
Jiang Yunqiao looked confused. I was about to explain when my sister, feeling safe with her family around, jumped out from behind me and glared at General Shen. “What are you trying to do by following me?”
General Shen’s eyebrows moved, a rare occurrence. The yellow parrot on his shoulder spread its wings and called out, “What? What?”
My sister was aggressive, but General Shen remained expressionless and ignored her.
She became even more furious, taking a big step forward. “What, dare to do but not dare to speak?”
General Shen coldly looked at her. “Self-flattering.”
The yellow parrot enthusiastically nodded. “Self-flattering! Self-flattering!” Its sharp, strange voice drew everyone’s attention.
My sister’s face turned red, and she wanted to teach him a lesson, but I hastily pulled her back.
Jiang Yunqiao was stunned. “Who is this…”
“My sister,” I sighed internally, knowing we’d lost face… “I’m truly sorry, Your Highness, General Shen.”
My sister turned back to look at me in disbelief. I nodded solemnly and resolutely. She lost her confidence but still muttered, “Can’t a general be a lewd man…”
An Jin and I mourned our lost dignity for a quarter of an hour. Jiang Yunqiao seemed to suddenly understand and turned to General Shen: “No wonder you were late… were you following a young lady?”
General Shen maintained his statue-like expression and just moved his lips. “Didn’t know the way.”
“Lost again?” Jiang Yunqiao shook her head. “Danding, when will you fix this habit?”
It turned out that the seemingly tall and cold General was actually directionally challenged, having genuinely gotten lost on the streets of Yanfeng City. Hear my sister tell the sedan chair driver about going to White Crane Plain, he knew she was also coming to watch the competition, so he followed her.
This fact left me stunned for a long time. My sister, embarrassed and angry, shrank behind us, mumbling: “Such a big man and can’t even find his way, useless…”
General Shen glanced at my sister behind me. “Unreasonable.”
The yellow parrot enthusiastically nodded: “Unreasonable! Unreasonable! Ugly girl causing trouble!
Thus, this mouthy parrot successfully offended my sister again.
