Xiao Yeyang shook his head firmly, âThat wonât do either. You didnât bring anyone with you this time. What if you get drunk? How will you get back? Moreover, itâs fine in front of us, but in the future, when you go out, you mustnât drink recklessly, understand?â
Daohua turned her head away, supporting her cheek as she looked at the moon, without speaking.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled silently, took a paper-wrapped package from Defu, and shook it in front of Daohua.
âWhatâs this?â
Daohuaâs attention was instantly drawn, and she swallowed hard.
It was nothing else but the enticing aroma of meat that she smelled.
Xiao Yeyang smiled, âBeggarâs Chicken. I found it quite tasty, so I brought some for you to try.â
Daohua quickly accepted it, unwrapped the paper in a few moves, and revealed the fragrant Beggarâs Chicken.
âI want some too!â
Yan Wenkai also smelled the fragrance and immediately moved closer, stretching out his hand to grab the Beggarâs Chicken.
Xiao Yeyang slapped his hand away, discontentedly saying, âYour sister hasnât even eaten yet. As her brother, how can you not let her have some first?â
Yan Wenkai sheepishly withdrew his hand, âI just forgot, thatâs all.â
Xiao Yeyang snorted, âAs soon as you see food, you forget everything.â After speaking, he tore off a chicken leg and held it to Daohuaâs mouth, âTry this, see if itâs good?â
Daohua took the chicken leg in her hand and then started eating. After one bite, her eyes immediately narrowed, âItâs delicious.â
Xiao Yeyang smiled, âIf you like it, Iâll bring you more next time.â
While eating, Daohua said, âWhere did you buy this from? Just tell me the place, and Iâll go buy it myself.â
Xiao Yeyang smiled, âBy Ningmen Pass, in An County.â
Daohua immediately fell silent; she wouldnât go so far just for a bite to eat.
âCan I eat now?â
Yan Wenkai interjected.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at him, tore off another chicken leg, and then passed the paper-wrapped package to Yan Wenkai. Noticing his wine jar was also empty, he casually handed over his own.
Yan Wenkai immediately grinned, grabbed the Beggarâs Chicken and the wine jar quickly, and retreated to the side, looking as if he was afraid Xiao Yeyang would change his mind.
Xiao Yeyang ignored him. Seeing that Daohua had finished the chicken leg in her hands, he passed her another one.
Daohua accepted the chicken leg, âIâd like to have a sip of wine.â
Xiao Yeyang gave her a look and handed over the wine jar. After she took a sip, he quickly took it back.
Helpless, Daohua could only bury her head in eating the chicken leg and asked while eating, âXiao Yeyang, why didnât you talk to me when you came over this time?â
The corner of Xiao Yeyangâs mouth curled up slightly, âDo you want to talk to me?â
Daohua glanced at him sideways, âCan you answer the question properly?â Then she paused, âDid Master say something to you last time? I felt you were acting a little strange at the Glass Factory.â
Seeing sauce on the corner of Daohuaâs mouth, Xiao Yeyang couldnât help but reach out to wipe it off. After he finished, seeing Daohua glaring at him, he then smiled, âDonât overthink it, Ancient Master didnât say anything to me.â
âItâs just that last time I was at your house, Mother Li⦠guarded me like a thief. If I donât restrain my behavior, Iâm afraid I wonât be able to enter your houseâs front door in the future.â
Daohua was stunned. She hadnât thought that would be the reason. After a moment, she looked speechlessly at Xiao Yeyang who was sitting next to her, âAnd youâre not worried now?â
Xiao Yeyang looked innocent, âI originally just wanted to have a drink with Wenkai. Who knew you would tag along?â
Daohua glanced at him with an inquisitive look in her eyes.
She always felt this guy was up to no good!
Xiao Yeyang stretched out his hand with a smile, intending to tousle Daohuaâs head. But she dodged, causing him to lose his smile a bit, âAlright, keep enjoying your chicken leg.â
Without saying much more, Daohua swung her legs, carefreely nibbling on her chicken leg.
Xiao Yeyang took a swig from the wine jar in his hand, his peripheral vision catching Yan Wenkai to the side.
The wine jar Daohua held wasnât big, but it still contained at least a catty or two. Having finished one jar, Yan Wenkai was already slightly tipsy. Now that he had drunk Xiao Yeyangâs jar as well, his drunkenness became even more pronounced.
Xiao Yeyang gave Defu a look, and Defu quickly sat down next to Yan Wenkai to prevent him from falling.
After finishing the chicken leg, Daohua thought for a bit and still asked, âThereâs nothing wrong at the Glass Factory, right? Iâve heard that quite a few people have been eyeing you lately.â
Xiao Yeyangâs expression tightened slightly, but it quickly returned to normal, âWhat could be wrong? Keep your heart at ease; nobody can steal your Silver.â
