In an attempt to help Xiaolan out, Maomao quickly asks Jinshi for help and some ingredients. Eventually resulting in making ice cream. For the most part problem has been fixed but Jinshi asked Maomao to start wearing his hairpin in exchange for him helping her out. On top of that Shisui comes by and eats the leftovers and pretty much everyone wants more.

Long chapter. A lot of the reasons were supposedly explained. TBH it was a bit hard to follow but NOOOO Jinshi's face lol. RIP Basen he didn't deserve what he got. At least things are resolved for the most part now.

Maomao is in captivity and gets bored. The boy that's been around them notices she's around and helps her escape to explore a building she was curious about. They get caught at the end of the chapter. References to Loulan is also made.
