They didn't head to the dining hall for their meal but instead went to Bai Erlang's study to brew tea while waiting for the food, all the while quarreling.
When Bai Erlang's cousin, Chen Bo, came looking for him, Bai Erlang had his head turned to the side, sulking.
Chen Bo stepped into the room and, seeing a young lady sitting by the table, hesitated for a moment, debating whether he should leave. Bai Erlang had already softened his expression, stood up, and greeted him, "Cousin, what brings you here?"
He turned to Bai Shan and Manbao and said, "This is my cousin, Chen Bo. Cousin, this is…"
After pausing briefly, he added a bit begrudgingly, "… this is my Senior Sister and Senior Brother."
Chen Bo suddenly understood. No wonder a young lady was in his cousin's study. The three exchanged formal greetings, and Chen Bo also sat down by the table.
Noticing that Bai Erlang seemed a little upset, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong, Little Cousin?"
