Chapter 543: Chapter 500: Feeding_2
Xiao Yeyang glanced at him expressionlessly, “If you want to go, just go by yourself.” With that, he turned and left.
Meanwhile, Daohua, whose ears were hurting from the din of firecrackers, didn’t want to stay any longer and walked over to Yan Wenxiu, “Brother, I want to go back.”
Yan Wenxiu nodded his head; he wanted to go back too but had to keep an eye on his younger brothers and sisters.
“Then I’m going back.” Before she left, Daohua looked up at the street and happened to see Xiao Yeyang and De Fu merging into the crowd, “Xiao Yeyang?”
Daohua wanted to get a clearer look, but unfortunately, they were already gone.
“Brother, I’m going to the street to buy something; I’ll be right back.” Having said that, she ran off towards the street.
Wang Manman and Bi Shi hurriedly followed her.
Yang Hongrui also wanted to follow, but Yan Wenxiu held him back, “Cousin, you are not familiar with the mansion city; I’ll have Wenkai and Wentao go.”
Having said that, he called Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao over.
Yan Wenxiu whispered to the two of them, “The Little Prince seems to be on the street. You two go check it out and remember to bring Big Sister back early.”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao didn’t dare delay and quickly gave chase.
…
On the street, Xiao Yeyang felt more and more annoyed as he thought of Daohua laughing and talking with the Yan family’s sons; his steps grew faster and faster, and De Fu had to jog to keep up.
Suddenly, Xiao Yeyang felt someone pulling at his sleeve. Just when he was about to get angry and shake them off, he heard, “Xiao Yeyang, it really is you!”
Xiao Yeyang turned around quickly and saw Daohua bending over, panting as she looked at him.
After catching her breath for a while, Daohua stood up straight, “I’m saying, Xiao Yeyang, why are you walking so fast if there’s nothing wrong? You’ve worn me out.”
Xiao Yeyang reached out to steady her, “I didn’t know you would catch up.”
Daohua: “So, you saw us just now? Then why didn’t you come over?”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and said sourly, “I saw you having so much fun with your cousin, how could I have the nerve to disturb you?”
Daohua’s eyes widened, “Me, having fun? My ears are still buzzing now. You say I was having fun; are you sure you don’t have a problem with your eyesight?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s mouth corners couldn’t help but twitch upward, “So you mean you don’t like playing with your cousin?”
Daohua, speechless: “Who was playing with him? It’s just that today is New Year’s Eve. All my brothers and sisters are at home, and we gathered to set off firecrackers. I hardly ever see him usually.”
Hearing this, the fire in Xiao Yeyang’s heart completely dissipated. Seeing the street crowded, he quickly pulled Daohua to the side, afraid that someone would bump into her: “Why did you run after me?”
Daohua’s gaze drifted around for a while before she said, “I just came to confirm if it was you.”
Xiao Yeyang laughed, “Now you’ve confirmed it.”
Daohua retorted, “Then why did you come out?”
Xiao Yeyang: “…It was quite lonely staying inside the house, so I thought I’d come out for a walk and look at the festive scene.”
Daohua was silent for a moment, “As it happens, I’d like to take a walk too.” Saying this, she went ahead.
Seeing her, Xiao Yeyang smiled to himself and quickly followed.
On New Year’s Eve, the streets and alleys were decked with lanterns and decorations and were very lively.
The two of them walked and stopped, now watching acrobatics, now watching shadow plays.
Daohua didn’t dare go too far but didn’t want to go back immediately, so she slowed her pace. Seeing sweet soup for sale on the street, she said to Xiao Yeyang, “Do you want to drink a bowl of sweet soup?”
Xiao Yeyang looked at the vendor and then at Daohua, “Are you hungry?”
Daohua shook her head, “I just want to eat something.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang turned to De Fu.
De Fu immediately ran to a carriage not far away and then returned with a bamboo basket in his hands.
Xiao Yeyang took the basket, looked around, and then led Daohua to the quieter end of the bridge, where there happened to be a Jiao Pavilion.
Daohua looked at the bamboo basket, “What’s in the basket?”
Xiao Yeyang placed the basket on the stone table, opened the lid, and revealed red, luscious strawberries: “This is a type of fruit called strawberries, brought in from abroad. Knowing that you like these, I brought them for you.”
With that, he picked up a strawberry and held it to Daohua’s mouth.
“Try it and see if it’s tasty?”
Daohua took it with her hand, bit into it, and the sour-sweet juice flowed into her mouth, making her eyes smile, “Delicious.”
Seeing her enjoy it, Xiao Yeyang smiled too, pulled out a seat for her, and pushed the basket closer to her.
Daohua had eaten several before she stopped, noticing that Xiao Yeyang wasn’t eating, she immediately picked up a strawberry and offered it to him, “You eat too.”
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, didn’t reach out to take it, but lowered his head and directly bit into the strawberry from her hand.
Daohua quickly let go and glared at Xiao Yeyang. Seeing De Fu, Wang Manman, and Bi Shi all eyeing the strawberries, she picked a few for each of them.
“Thank you, Miss!”
“Thank you, Miss Yan.”
Without strawberries in Daxia, the three of them happily accepted the strawberries and moved to the side to enjoy them contentedly.
Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone, and seeing them enjoy it made Daohua start eating again. Noticing that Xiao Yeyang wasn’t eating, she urged him, “You too, eat. There’s a whole basket. Once I grow them next year, we can eat as much as we want.”
Xiao Yeyang: “This fruit is not easy to grow. The Imperial Uncle also likes it, but the people at the Imperial Manor have been trying for many years, and the yield is still very low.”
Daohua lifted her chin proudly, “Just because they can’t grow it doesn’t mean I can’t.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled, “Yes, yes, you are the most capable.”
Daohua picked up a strawberry and extended it to him, “Then go on, eat.”
Xiao Yeyang: “How can I eat with you holding it so far away?”
Seeing that he wanted her to feed him again, Daohua ignored him, “Eat if you want.”
After that, seeing that Xiao Yeyang really wouldn’t serve himself, Daohua sighed, picked up a strawberry, and held it to his mouth.
Only then did Xiao Yeyang laugh and eat it.
After being fed several strawberries in a row, Xiao Yeyang also picked up one and held it to Daohua’s mouth.
Daohua glanced at him, resignedly took the strawberry, and ate it.
