Chapter 305: Chapter 286, Six of One Half a Dozen of the Other_1
Daohua hadn’t intended to pursue the source of the scent, but seeing Xiao Yeyang looking so uncomfortable, a glint appeared in her eyes, “Is that fragrance coming from you?”
They were standing close to each other, and as she spoke, Daohua extended her neck and leaned in to sniff Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang had wanted to dodge, but his gaze swept over and he caught sight of Daohua’s fair and elegant neck, which left him frozen in place for a moment.
At the same time, the image of the voluptuous skin of the Oiran he had seen in the brothel came to mind, making his cheeks and ears turn bright red.
“It really is coming from you!”
Daohua quickly confirmed the source of the scent and looked at Xiao Yeyang with disbelief, “Xiao Yeyang, why would a man like you wear perfume? And if you must, could you choose something with a bit of taste and not something so overpowering?” she said, while waving her hand in front of her nose in disgust.
Xiao Yeyang, snapping back to reality and seeing Daohua’s peculiar look, found it hard to meet her eyes and turned his back to her, “Who’s wearing perfume?”
After saying this, he inwardly cursed himself. What was he even thinking about?
Daohua noticed Xiao Yeyang’s awkwardness, crossed her arms over her chest, touched her chin thoughtfully, and walked to face him, inquiring, “Then where is that fragrance on you coming from? And why are you blushing? Even your ears are red.”
At this, Xiao Yeyang reacted as if he had been stepped on, growing somewhat indignant, “Who’s blushing? Yan Yiyi, don’t spout nonsense here!”
While speaking, he also retreated awkwardly.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s reaction, Daohua didn’t think too much of it, assuming she had struck a nerve, and said with a pout, “Denying it? You are obviously feeling guilty right now!”
She paused for a moment, then knitted her brows and said, “That’s not right. You’re usually so particular, you wouldn’t use this kind of perfume. If you didn’t wear the fragrance… then it must have rubbed off from someone else.”
Considering they had encountered Xiao Yeyang and his group on Joy Street, Daohua’s eyes widened in shock, looking at Xiao Yeyang with dismay, “You… you guys…”
Xiao Yeyang knew Daohua was smart, but seeing her guess where they had been from the scent on him was still somewhat exasperating, and he retreated nervously, “That, I’ve just remembered, I’ve got things to take care of.”
Daohua grabbed his sleeve in a flare of annoyance, “Did you go to a brothel?”
Xiao Yeyang felt both embarrassed and guilty: “That, don’t be angry. We just sat there for a while, we didn’t do anything else.”
Daohua laughed in anger, “What else did you want to do? Xiao Yeyang, tell me, you are not even that old, and you’ve already started going to brothels. Do you have any idea how shameful that is?”
Xiao Yeyang had a headache. He should have changed his clothes before coming out.
Daohua fell silent for a moment, thinking of Xiao Yeyang’s family situation, she began to lecture him with concern, “Xiao Yeyang, I understand, you don’t have elders with you, and it’s easy to be carefree, but there are certain things we just can’t do. You’re still young, you should focus on important matters, and not be distracted by all sorts of nonsense.”
“What kind of place is a brothel? Sure, the girls there are quite pretty, and I admit I find them attractive, but after all, the clientele there is mixed, and who knows if they carry diseases or not…”
Seeing Daohua talk to him in such a lecturing tone, and her words becoming more and more ridiculous, Xiao Yeyang could no longer bear it, and forcibly pulled his sleeve from her grasp, “I’ve already told you, we just sat there.”
Daohua’s voice rose a notch, “Even just sitting there is no good. At your age, you lack self-control, you’re prone to impulse, and simply can’t resist certain temptations…”
“Stop!”
Xiao Yeyang couldn’t listen any longer and took several deep breaths, “Instead of spending your time lecturing me, you might as well talk to your brothers. Your fourth brother drank quite a bit in the brothel.”
To extricate himself, Xiao Yeyang decided to go all out, and resolutely betrayed Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Daohua’s expression darkened, and she clenched her fists, making ‘crack crack’ sounds, “Hmph, I will certainly speak to them.”
Just then, Dong Yuanxuan and the others left the living room after not seeing Xiao Yeyang return for a while, intending to enjoy the scenery in the yard. Upon stepping out, they saw Daohua and Xiao Yeyang.
“What are you doing here?”
Yan Wenkai walked over with a smile and, after entering, he realized the atmosphere between his sister and the Little Prince was somewhat odd.
His sister was frowning and huffing angrily at them, while the Little Prince stood there, looking guilty.
Daohua quickly walked up to Yan Wenkai and Wentao, sniffing the scent on them, “You really are something, aren’t you? Instead of learning something worthwhile, you’ve learned to frequent brothels!”
Upon hearing this, Dong Yuanxuan and the others’ faces all stiffened with embarrassment.
Daohua glared at Yan Wenkai and Wentao, “Just wait, when we get home, I’m telling father and mother.”
Yan Wenkai immediately became anxious, “Big sister, don’t do that. Didn’t you also go to the theater today?”
Daohua replied, “My trip to the theater was to investigate Feng Liangji’s character, whereas you went to the brothel to drink and be merry, the nature of these actions are completely different, alright?”
Yan Wenkai muttered, “What’s the difference? We’re all in the same boat, and no one’s in a position to point fingers! How about this: you don’t mention our brothel visit, and we won’t mention your trip to the theater and the fight that ensued there, deal?”
Daohua’s eyes brightened at these words, and she appeared tempted.
At that moment, Defu came over with an egg.
Xiao Yeyang quickly said, “Weren’t you about to apply the egg on Miss Dong’s eyes? Why aren’t you going?”
Daohua took the egg, “I’ll consult with Yuanyao and see if we want to collaborate with you?”
After she left, Xiao Yeyang and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Wenkai looked at Xiao Yeyang and accused, “Little Prince, you betrayed us?”
Xiao Yeyang gave him a look, “Do you really need me to betray you with the smell of perfume on you?”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai and the others raised their arms to sniff.
Su Hongxin said, “We must have rubbed off the rouge from the brothel women.”
Yan Wenkai quickly responded, “How could you not? Those brothel women were practically sitting in your lap.”
Su Hongxin scoffed, “Don’t talk about me, didn’t you get fed several cups of wine by a brothel woman?”
Yan Wenkai retorted, “How was I to know brothel women would be so forward? If it weren’t for their delicate and weak appearance, I would have pushed them away.” He paused, then added, “In the future, I need to learn from the Little Prince, just keep a stern face, and no one would dare come close.”
Then he looked at Wentao, burst into laughter, and said, “Or I could learn from Third Brother and extend an arm to push the brothel women meters away, making them land squarely on their behinds.”
At that, everyone began to laugh.
Wentao looked embarrassed and scratched his head, “I really didn’t expect her to go down so easily.” For this, he had compensated the girl with several months’ worth of savings.
Su Hongxin laughed loudly, “We are all clueless about romance, only Yuanxuan and Li Chenyi are a bit more gentle.”
Dong Yuanxuan shot him a look, “Don’t drag me into this, I exchanged a couple of lines of poetry but didn’t drink a single cup of wine.”
Yan Wenkai wondered, “Seriously, I just don’t get it. Brothel women are just that, why do other men still like going there so much?”
Li Chenyi looked at his puzzled cousin and couldn’t help but laugh.
