âWe actually have such a big tree in our family!â
Daohua was slightly surprised when she saw the Chinese parasol tree that her fourth brother mentioned, which covered the rooftop.
The tree was enormous.
âLetâs go, letâs climb up.â
Yan Wenkai said and then with a few agile steps, nimbly climbed the surrounding wall and flipped onto the roof.
Seeing his agile movements, a hint of envy flashed in Daohuaâs eyes as she smiled and said, âFourth Brother, youâre really impressive now.â
Yan Wenkai immediately raised his head with a proud look, âJust average, just average.â
Spotting his show-off attitude, Daohua pursed her lips and smiled.
Xiao Yeyang shook his head speechlessly and asked Daohua, âShall I help you up?â
Daohua shook her head immediately, âI can get up on my own.â
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the nearby Chinese parasol tree, âClimb the tree again?â
Daohua nodded, âExactly.â
The surrounding wall was about two to three meters high. Without any aid, she couldnât climb up as easily as her fourth brother had done barehanded.
Fortunately, she was still adept at climbing trees.
Xiao Yeyang didnât try to dissuade her, âAlright then, climb quickly. Iâll watch from below to make sure you donât fall.â
Daohua, âDonât underestimate me. How could anyone fall from climbing a tree? You donât need to watch over me. Go on to your rooftop.â With that, she walked towards the Chinese parasol tree.
Xiao Yeyang didnât heed Daohuaâs words and stood beneath the tree, watching her climb up somewhat awkwardly, and only once she had stepped onto the rooftop using the branches, did he himself climb up.
âBe careful!â
The roof was slanted, and Daohua was somewhat unsteady. Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang came up in time to steady her.
âGive me your hand, Iâll take you over to the ridge,â he said.
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and extended her hand.
Xiao Yeyang held Daohuaâs hand firmly and carefully led her towards the roof ridge.
By that time, Yan Wenkai had already seated himself on the roof ridge and even opened a jar of grape wine, taking a big gulp straight from it, âLittle Prince, Big Sister, hurry up, Iâve just discovered today that thereâs a unique pleasure in drinking wine on the rooftop.â
With Xiao Yeyangâs support, Daohua made her shaky way to the roof ridge.
âJust sit here,â he said.
Seeing that Daohua was about to sit next to Yan Wenkai, Xiao Yeyang quickly stopped her, âThe view is better over here.â
Daohua looked up at the moon in the sky, nodded, and settled down on the roof ridge with the help of Xiao Yeyang.
Only then did Xiao Yeyang release Daohuaâs hand, step across her, and took a seat between her and Yan Wenkai.
Once he was seated, Daohua glared irritably at Yan Wenkai, who had already taken several sips of wine, âFourth Brother, you got up first and didnât even offer to help me?â
Yan Wenkai casually replied, âIsnât the Little Prince there? With him present, he surely wouldnât let you fall.â
Hearing this, Daohua felt somewhat exasperated, âYou are you, he is he, how can it be the same?â
Yan Wenkai, âWhatâs the difference? In any case, the point is you didnât fall, thatâs all.â
At that, Daohua didnât want to speak anymore and turned her gaze away after glaring at him.
Yan Wenkai was slightly baffled and looked at Xiao Yeyang with confusion.
Xiao Yeyang just shrugged, indicating that he was clueless as well.
With that, Yan Wenkai stopped worrying about it and continued to drink merrily.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Yeyang smiled faintly. This was why he preferred Yan Wenkai. If Yan Wentao were here, there wouldnât be a chance for Xiao Yeyang to help Daohua, and if Yan Wenxiu were here, they wouldnât even have the chance to climb onto the roof.
âThe moonlight tonight is truly lovely.â
Looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky, Daohuaâs mood broadened substantially. She reached for a jar of grape wine and was about to drink.
Xiao Yeyang reached out to stop her, âYou want to drink too?â
Daohua, âArenât we here to enjoy the moon and drink wine? Why else would we come up here?â With that, she pushed away the hand that Xiao Yeyang was using to block her and took a swig.
After taking a drink and seeing Xiao Yeyang still looking at her, she felt compelled to say, âRest assured, this wine isnât intoxicating. A little drink will be fine.â
Yan Wenkai chimed in, âExactly, Iâve already had more than half a jar, and Iâm fine.â
Xiao Yeyang just glanced at him coolly.
Can a girlâs tolerance for alcohol really be compared to a manâs?
âJust a few sips,â Daohua said, seeing the unwavering look Xiao Yeyang gave her. Reluctantly, she nodded in agreement, âOkay, just a few sips.â Then she took another big gulp.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang reached out and took the jar of wine into his own hands.
Daohua immediately looked at him, âWhat are you doing?â
Xiao Yeyang, âWatching you to make sure you donât drink too much.â
Daohua, âXiao Yeyang, my tolerance is quite good, I wonât get drunk.â
