The End Times as a Song

Chapter 87 Falling into a Trap

"Miss, this way please...?"

Hua Nian and Dou Kou led Huan Ru Ge from Xin Hu Xiao Zhu to Xiang Si Ge. The scenery along the way was truly beautiful, and Huan Ru Ge enjoyed the view with a sweet mood. However, when she arrived at Xiang Si Ge, her expression changed.

"The Pavilion of Longing...? This is the Pavilion of Yearning...?"

Huan Ruge and her companions arrived at a house that looked a lot like a red bean. They saw the words "Sige" written on the red bean and couldn't help but point to the two characters "Sige," read them aloud with a sigh, and then turned to ask Huan Nian.

"Yes, this is the Lovesick Pavilion...? Is there a problem?"

Hua Nianfei stepped forward and glanced at Xiangsi Pavilion. She then turned to look at Huan Rugo and replied to Huan Rugo's words.

"Isn't this just a red bean? Can anyone live in it?"

Huan Rugo turned around and glanced at the pavilion in front of her, then said anxiously to Huan Nian.

"Young lady, don't worry, it's habitable. You might look like a red bean now, but it's actually the Acacia Pavilion, a small room. Perhaps because you're human, it looks like a red bean. Red beans symbolize longing, but you can't judge a book by its cover...! The Acacia Pavilion isn't a place where ordinary people can just walk in...!"

Hua Nian patiently gestured as she explained to Huan Rugo.

"Can I go in?"

After hearing Huan Nian's words, Huan Rugo's face showed a hint of worry, and she asked Huan Nian for confirmation.

"Of course you can. You were brought in by our master, so you can't be considered an ordinary human. You are, after all, a distinguished guest...?"

Hua Nian noticed Huan Rugo's worry and comforted her.

"What are you saying? I feel like I understand, but I also feel like I don't understand...!"

The sudden shift from "distinguished guest" to "human" was indeed confusing. Hua Nian's explanation only made Huan Rugo more bewildered. Yes, she had originally intended to return to Fangcao Village, but things had taken a turn for the worse. Tu Shanyan had returned to Qingqiu, and then Lin Yin had suddenly appeared, dragging her to Ji Xiangsi. What was going on? She seemed to understand everything, yet she understood nothing at all. Words tinged with emotion slipped out.

"Pfft...! You don't need to understand. Just come inside with us, and maybe the girl will understand...!"

Hua Nian continued to explain.

"Sister...! Don't worry, I assure you that Xiangsi Pavilion isn't as bad as you think. You're all dirty right now, take a bath first and feel better."

Doukou echoed her sentiment and stepped forward to comfort Huanruge.

"Girl, let's go inside first!"

Hua Nian urged Huan Ru Ge to enter the Pavilion of Longing.

"Alright then! Since we're here, we can't leave anyway. By the way, Huanian, you don't have to keep calling me 'Miss,' you can call me Huanhuan. That's what my friends call me."

Huan Rugo thought for a moment, resignedly accepted the fact, and suddenly asked Huan Nian to call her by name.

"Not so good!"

Hua Nian rolled her eyes, wanting to refuse Huan Rugo's suggestion.

"It's alright, calling me 'Miss' is too formal. We're friends now, aren't we? I don't have any elven friends yet. Don't you want to be my friends?"

Huan Ruge spoke to Hua Nian in a logical and reasoned manner.

"No, no, but you are, after all, a distinguished guest brought back by the master...! Calling you by your name is not a good idea."

Hua Nian was afraid that Huan Ruge would misunderstand her meaning, so she quickly waved her hand to explain.

"What does it matter? Aren't our master's friends our friends too? Huanian, have you forgotten that we elves have no hierarchy? Our master also said that his friends are our friends as well."
