Seeing Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu hadnât returned yet, Daohua had no choice but to sit in the pavilion and wait.
Xiao Yeyang walked over to her, sat down beside her, poured her a cup of tea, and handed her a piece of mooncake, âYou havenât eaten much today, and youâve slept for so long, you must be thirsty and hungry, eat something.â
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang and then got up to sit across from him.
Xiao Yeyang was taken aback, then stood up and sat down again. Seeing Daohua about to stand up, he immediately said, âWherever you sit, Iâll sit, if you donât find it a bother, feel free to switch places as you please.â
Hearing this, Daohua, who was halfway up, stopped moving and looked at Xiao Yeyang with annoyance, âXiao Yeyang, how come youâre becoming more and more shameless?â
Xiao Yeyang just shrugged with a smile, âIâm not usually like this, only when Iâm in front of you, you should consider your own problems.â
Daohua was speechless, âSo itâs my fault, is it?â
Xiao Yeyang spread his hands, a look of âisnât it obvious?â on his face. Seeing Daohuaâs eyes widen again, he laughed and reached out to pull her to sit down, âAlright, stop fussing, eat something properly, arenât you hungry?â
Daohua was about to say whoâs fussing, when a piece of mooncake was pushed to her mouth, silencing her words.
âEat quickly, if you donât eat, I will.â
Seeing Daohua not opening her mouth, Xiao Yeyang said this with a smile.
At these words, Daohua indeed bit the mooncake and held it in her hands, then began to eat it grudgingly.
Seeing her helpless look, Xiao Yeyang felt very amused and took a sip of tea.
Watching the interaction between the two, Yan Wentao, who was sitting nearby, was somewhat flabbergasted.
Since when were Daohua and the Little Prince so close?
Feeding each other like this, isnât it a bit inappropriate?
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Yan Wentaoâs eyes widened in shock. What was the Little Prince doing? He handed his own cup, which he had drunk from, to Daohua, who was choking!
Sharing the same teacup?!
This wonât do!
Daohua was enjoying her mooncake, but inadvertently saw her third brother staring blankly at her and Xiao Yeyang, and without noticing, she choked. Xiao Yeyang passed her the teacup, she thoughtlessly took it and drank.
After drinking, she saw her third brotherâs eyes were even more bulging.
âThird brother, whatâs wrong with you?â
Yan Wentao blurted out wanting to say that Daohua had used Xiao Yeyangâs teacup, but Xiao Yeyang beat him to it, âYour third brother must be thinking of someone!â
âHmm?â
Daohua looked over with a puzzled face, âThird brother, who are you thinking of?â
Yan Wentao was a bit stunned, catching Xiao Yeyangâs meaningful glance and lowering his head somewhat flustered.
The Little Prince saw through his thoughts?
Daohua frowned and looked at her third brother, then turned to look at Xiao Yeyang, âWhat are you two up to?â
Xiao Yeyang filled the teacup again, handed it to Daohua while smiling and said, âEarlier your third brother said he misses his two younger brothers. Seeing such a beautiful scene, itâs a pity they canât see it. Wentao, isnât that right?â
Yan Wentao nodded hastily, vaguely saying, âI just saw a heron, Xiaoqi likes birds, so I was thinking whether I should catch one to take back?â
Xiao Yeyang immediately said, âOf course you should, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, taking it back would count as a gift, go catch it.â
Yan Wentao looked at Daohua, feeling it was not good to leave her alone with Xiao Yeyang, he asked, âWould Big Sister come with me?â
Before Daohua could speak, Xiao Yeyang spoke, âYou want her to go catch herons, a young lady?â Saying this, he stood up, walked towards Yan Wentao, patted his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, âI wonât meddle in your affairs, so donât interfere with mine.â
âI wasnâtâ¦â
Not giving Yan Wentao a chance to argue, Xiao Yeyang directly said, âA fair lady, a gentlemanâs longing, whatâs there to be afraid to admit?â
Yan Wentaoâs eyes widened once again as he looked at Xiao Yeyang with a shocked expression.
Xiao Yeyang felt somewhat uncomfortable being gazed at like this; such matters were indeed a bit rash and truly not suitable to be shared with outsiders, but still, he looked straight back at him.
He would definitely not disclose this to the likes of Dong Yuanxuan and the others, but Yan Wentao, he knew his secrets and felt that he should be able to understand his own.
âYou⦠Iâ¦â
Xiao Yeyang said, âWhatâs with this âyouâ and âIâ? Just go and catch your egret.â
Yan Wentao was somewhat reluctant but then thought for a moment and said, âLittle Prince, you must not bully Daohua.â
Xiao Yeyang rolled his eyes, âWhich of your eyes saw me bullying her? Itâs good enough if she doesnât bully me.â
Yan Wentao, thinking of Daohuaâs no-nonsense character, felt somewhat relieved in his heart. After a moment of silence, he intended to ask Xiao Yeyang how he had noticed his inner thoughts, but unbeknownst to him, Daohua had walked over.
âWhat are you both whispering and chattering about?â
Xiao Yeyang quickly let go of Yan Wentao, âI was telling him to catch two, to prevent the sixth and the seventh brother from fighting over them.â
Seeing Daohua glance over, Yan Wentao quickly nodded his head.
Daohua looked inquisitive, not quite believing the two menâs words.
Xiao Yeyang patted Yan Wentao, âAlright, go catch the egret. It shouldnât be long before Yuanxuan and the others are back.â@@novelbin@@
Yan Wentao nodded and started to walk away. After taking a few steps, he returned, picked up a new cup, filled it with tea, handed it to Daohua, and then hurriedly left.
Daohua stared at the steaming cup of tea in her hand, somewhat dazed.
âThis Yan Wentao, the water in the teapot was just boiled, so hot it shouldnât be placed directly in your hands.â After speaking, Xiao Yeyang took the teacup from her and, after placing it on the table, quickly checked Daohuaâs hand.
âDid you get burnt?â
Outside the pavilion, Difu admired his masterâs seamless actions. Upon seeing Wang Manman approaching the pavilion, he abruptly pulled her aside.
âMiss Manman, did you forget to take the lotus flower picked by Miss Yan?â
Wang Manmanâs face changed slightly, âIt seems I did leave it in the wooden boat.â
Difu hastily said, âThat lotus, Iâve heard about it; itâs for Miss Yan to pay respect to the old Madam and Madam. You canât forget it. Come, Iâll accompany you to retrieve the lotus.â
âBut the young ladyâ¦â
âAh, with the master here watching over Miss Yan, nothing bad will happen. Letâs make it a quick trip.â
Watching Difu lead Wang Manman away, Xiao Yeyang covertly smiled.
However, Daohua frowned, âWhere did that Manman run off to again?â
Xiao Yeyang laughed, âShe probably left something behind.â Saying this, he passed another piece of mooncake to Daohua.
Daohua, who had only eaten a piece of grilled lamb and drunk two pots of alcohol since the morning, indeed felt a bit hungry and accepted the mooncake, âYou donât have to hand it to me specifically; if I want to eat, I can take it myself.â
Xiao Yeyang didnât argue, but when Daohua was about to finish, he would pass her another piece.
Daohua felt somewhat helpless, seeing that Xiao Yeyang was unmoved by persuasion and just let him be.
After eating three pieces, Daohua shook her head to indicate she didnât want any more, thatâs when she saw Xiao Yeyang reach out to wipe at the corner of her mouth.
âWhat are you doing?â
Xiao Yeyang showed her the mooncake crumbs in his hand, âYou had some on your mouth.â
Daohua stood up, visibly annoyed, âXiao Yeyang, if you continue to touch me without permission, I will really get angry!â
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and murmured, âWhatâs the big deal? It was just a wipe. Besides, there are no outsiders here now.â
Daohua glared, âEven if there are no outsiders, itâs not okay.â
