As expected, Rong Yan got up and moved. âWash the dishes. 1 want to go next door to thank her.â
Yun Yi replied proudly, âMaster, Iâve just thanked Miss Ning. Other than that steamer, we have used our own bowls and chopsticks.â
Rong Yan stopped stretching his arms and turned to ask him, âAre you very free?â
Yun Yi deliberated for a moment. âI-tâs alright?â
Rong Yan looked at the unfamiliar dishes on the table expressionlessly. âDonât you feel ashamed that a few burly men are eating and drinking their food for free?â
Yun Yi: ???
Then, they were sent to the fields to help the Ning Family.
After arranging the guards, Rong Yan rinsed the steamer inexpertly and knocked on the courtyard next door.
After opening the door, he realized that Ning Xiaoxiao was about to go out. She was carrying a basket on her back, a bucket, and a fishing rod in her arms. She looked very busy. As she turned around, the small bucket fell to the ground and rolled to Rong Yanâs feet.
âItâs Little Big Brother Ah Yan. Is breakfast delicious?â
Rong Yanâs ears heated up. He did not dare to meet her overly bright eyes. In order to hide it, he bent down and picked up the bucket. âGo fishing?â
Xiaoxiao nodded and asked casually, âDo you want to come along?â
The word âtogetherâ was too difficult to reject.
The spring breeze blew on their faces. The willows and the willows. Beside the river under the tree, the young man and woman each raised their fishing rods and stared at the lake.
Rong Yan was a little frustrated. He had originally planned to help Ning Xiaoxiao send the things over and fish for a while before returning. However, not a single fish took the bait. Ning Xiaoxiao had already filled half a bucket. He had been talented since he was young, and even the Grand Tutor praised him for being smart. He had never lost to anyone with such a huge difference. He was determined to succeed for once.
It wasnât easy for him to see his float move. Just as he was about to raise the rod, he heard Ning Xiaoxiao ask, âWhat gift should I give Shen Tianci for his birthday?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Rong Yanâs hand trembled and the float returned to normal. Xiaoxiao did not notice the commotion here and was still vexed. âIf itâs too cheap, I wonât have any face. If itâs too expensive, 1 canât afford itâ¦â She did not know what boys liked.
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up. Didnât she have a suitable person beside her to consult? The neighborâs Little Big Brother was a boy. He should like something similar to Shen Tianci, right? Hence, she moved her butt in Rong Yanâs direction. âLittle Big Brother Ah Yan, what do you think I should give him?â
Rong Yan recalled Shen Tianci, that little fatty who liked to eat and play. He stared at the river and said calmly, âPoetry collection or calligraphy.â This saved him the trouble of running out when he had nothing to do.
The three-year college entrance examination and five-year mock exam papers suddenly appeared in Xiaoxiaoâs mind. She shook her head in horror. This was not a gift, but a feud. âLet me tell you, you wonât have friends if you give gifts like this in the future.â
Rong Yan pursed his lips indifferently, but he also realized that he had misled her too much. Hence, he deliberated for a moment and suggested sincerely, âGive him a kite?â He wanted him to fly far away.
Xiaoxiao felt that this was a good idea. âThen Iâll make it myself! May is a good time to fly paper kites. When the time comes, 1â11 make some snacks to show my sincerity.â It would save money.
Rong Yan added, âI donât know what to give either. Iâll make the paper kite. Just bring me some bamboo sticks from home.â
Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed. âThen consider it a gift from us.â
Rong Yan agreed reluctantly. For some reason, he felt uncomfortable when he thought of Ning Xiaoxiao giving Shen Tianci the paper kite she made herself..
