In the courtyard, Nan Feng was sitting on a small stool while Ye Ge continued to chop wood.
He asked Nan Feng while chopping wood, "Did you come here looking for me for a reason?"
In her mind, Nan Feng thought if it was in the past, she would have melodramatically said, "Can't I visit you without a reason?" But this was ancient times, she couldn't be too nonchalant.
So she simply said, "It's mostly about the tug-of-war during the town's celebration. Several people asked me to persuade you, and I couldn't refuse, so I came to run through the motions. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to answer to them."
Nan Feng couldn't simply persuade Ye Ge to participate in the game, that would make her look nosy.
Ye Ge paused for a moment, then said, "You know I'm not fond of hustle and bustle. I wouldn't feel comfortable participating."
