Chapter 168: Chapter 151, Roasted Venison_2

“But…”

“There are no buts!” Yan Wenxiu looked straight at Yan Yile and shook her head, signaling her to return to her parents’ side.

…

Inside the pavilion, after Xiao Yeyang had finished applying medicine to Daohua, there was a silence between them until Defu came over with a hand warmer covered in snow-white fur.

“Have you added charcoal?”

Defu bent slightly, “I have.”

Xiao Yeyang took the hand warmer, tested the temperature, and casually handed it to Daohua, “Your hands are so cold; hold this to warm them up!”

Daohua happily accepted it, feeling the soft, pure white fur, “It’s so beautiful, is this rabbit fur?”

Xiao Yeyang’s mouth twitched, “It’s fox fur, from a Snow Fox.”

Daohua was startled and looked hesitantly at the hand warmer, “Fox fur… That must be quite rare, right?”

Xiao Yeyang rolled his eyes at her, “I’ve already said, it’s just leftover excess. If I give it to you, just take it!”

Upon hearing this, it was Defu’s turn to have his mouth twitch. His master gave gifts…in a rather inexpressible manner.

Seeing his reaction, Daohua’s eyes twinkled, and she smiled, “Didn’t you say last time that you wanted the formula for a medicinal bath? When you leave later, take the bath bag I’ll make with you.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, having interacted with her a few times, he had noticed that every time he gave her something, she would certainly give something back.

Was she unwilling to owe him a favor?

Well, let her be happy then!

“Gurgle~”

Suddenly, a strange sound echoed in the pavilion.

The moment the sound emerged, Xiao Yeyang’s ears reddened.

“Are you hungry?” Daohua asked, looking amusedly at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang grunted and didn’t reply.

Daohua laughed, “I saw how you and my youngest sister were eagerly sharing dishes with each other. What, you still haven’t had enough to eat?”

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang thought of his childish behavior at the dining table and felt a bit ashamed; he abruptly stood up, as if to leave.

Daohua quickly grabbed him, “Alright, alright, I’ll stop. Weren’t you going to have roasted venison? Where’s the deer? Where is it? Bring it here quickly; I haven’t had venison before!”

Xiao Yeyang’s expression then looked somewhat better, and he gave Defu a sign.

Defu immediately scurried off to prepare.

Daohua waved to call Wang Manman over, “Go to the Zhou Residence quickly, tell Jingwan we want to eat roasted venison, and ask her if she’d like some. If she does, she should come over.”

“Got it!”

Seeing that her young lady and the Little Prince had made up, Wang Manman felt a sense of relief and ran off lightly.

After everyone left, Daohua turned to Xiao Yeyang, “Do you have enough deer? Make sure we won’t run short later!”

Xiao Yeyang was somewhat speechless. Everyone was already called over, and only now she was asking if there was enough. Wasn’t this the wrong order?

“…enough, there are several of them!”

…

Zhou Jingwan arrived quickly.

“Where’s the roasted venison? This time I want to eat more. Last time I didn’t get enough,” Zhou Jingwan said with a smile, moving close to Daohua, pointing to the ox leg carried by the maid behind her: “I’m not here to freeload this time; I’ve brought ingredients too.”

Daohua was delighted to see the ox leg. In ancient times, cows weren’t to be killed at whim, so getting beef was not that easy.

“I think you are worried about not having enough to eat, that’s why you brought stuff over,” Daohua said.

Zhou Jingwan didn’t deny it: “I just love to eat.” Then, she placed the ox leg near her older brother: “Bro, hurry up and start cutting the beef to roast.”

Zhou Chengye smiled good-naturedly: “You, you can only boss your brother around.”

In the pavilion, the charcoal fire burnt vigorously, and the barbecue grill had been set up. Everyone worked together, and soon, a large piece of meat was on the grill.

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua bandaging her hand while attempting to cut the venison and quickly snatched the knife from her hand: “Which part do you want to eat? I’ll cut it for you.”

Daohua’s finger hesitated over the venison, and finally, she pointed at the leg: “Let’s go for the leg, the meat there should be tastier.”

Zhou Jingwan, who sat beside them, overheard and immediately held out her plate: “Little Prince, could you cut a piece for me too?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at her and, seeing that Zhou Jingwan’s entire focus was on the roasted meat, said nothing and quickly cut a large piece of venison for her.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chengye breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, although his little sister was a foodie, she wasn’t annoying: “Little Prince, let me cut it.”

Xiao Yeyang passed the knife over, seeing that Daohua already had plenty of venison in front of her, then sat down next to Daohua.

“Try this, I’ve just finished roasting it.”

As soon as Xiao Yeyang sat down, Daohua placed a piece of venison on his plate. The fragrant, crispy-looking roasted venison made them eager to start eating with their chopsticks.

Once they started eating, they couldn’t stop.

Daohua continued to roast while eating. She saw that Xiao Yeyang’s plate was empty and was about to give him another piece when Zhou Jingwan came over and snatched it away.

“Daohua, your roasting smells so good, I want some too, I want some too.”

The piece of meat Daohua intended for Xiao Yeyang took a detour and ended up in Zhou Jingwan’s plate.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang’s eyes widened as he stared at Zhou Jingwan intently, looking as if he wanted to snatch the roasted meat back from her plate.

Daohua laughed when she saw this: “Don’t worry, it’s your turn soon.”

One person roasting for three people to eat was definitely a hectic affair, so the pavilion was filled with the sounds of the three scrambling for food.

The others, quite perceptively, didn’t approach them.

Yan Wenkai wanted to join, but was held back firmly by Dong Yuanxuan, who didn’t give him a chance to go over to Daohua’s side. He could only watch with longing as the group of three ate joyously across from him.

In the distance, Yan Zhigao saw the bustling scene in the pavilion and finally relaxed. After watching for a while, seeing his eldest daughter and the Little Prince chatting and laughing, he turned to leave.

“What are you all standing here for?”

Seeing his second brother and sister-in-law hesitating at the courtyard entrance with Yihan and Yile, Yan Zhigao furrowed his brows.

Yan Zhiyuan: “Elder brother, I was thinking of having Yile apologize to the Little Prince.”

“No!” Yan Zhigao immediately raised his hand to stop him, “The Little Prince has just calmed down; don’t stir up trouble. It’s so cold; take them back to their rooms to rest.” With that, he strode away.
