What is this thing?

Su Hua had one eye open, while the other was covered. Even with her open pupil turning around, she could only see a fiery red color.

She instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

It felt like my fingers were covered in loose powder from a powder puff, but unlike loose powder, this powder had a cool, refreshing feel to it.

Slowly open your palm.

The next instant, they were met with a pair of eyes the size of rice grains.

Its eyes are red, its little antennae on its head are red, its wings below its head, which look like two big leaves, are red, and even its tail with a few hairs is red.

Su Hua was looking at it, and it was looking at Su Hua in return.

Seeing that the five-finger mountain covering it had been loosened, it rolled its eyes, stepped on Su Hua's palm, and flew away.

Just as it was about to fly past Su Hua's middle finger, it suddenly turned its head away.

With lightning speed, he kissed Su Hua on the forehead.

Then, it happily waddled down onto the table.

Su Hua: "??????"

So, she was being flirted with by a butterfly?

Moreover, this happened in such a public place.

This flirtatious butterfly may be shameless, but she still has some sense of shame!

Those who had been racking their brains to play with the fire butterfly were instantly thrown into a frenzy upon seeing this scene.

"What's wrong with this butterfly? It's just like those stinky men, knowing how to differentiate between beautiful and ugly, huh?!"

"What a stinky man! He's a male butterfly! I was waving my arms until they were sore, and he wouldn't even give me a glance. Now that he's with Miss Su, his sycophantic behavior is unbearable to watch. If it weren't for his tail, he would have been flying into the sky!"

"Why blame the butterfly? It's because Miss Su is so beautiful. If you were to go back to the womb and be reborn, maybe the butterfly would like you too!"

"Damn it, you have the nerve to talk back to me? Look at yourself, you're no better than me, so let's not talk about who's who..."

"Alright, stop arguing. Look, what's the fire butterfly doing? Is it asleep on Miss Su's painting?"

The crowd was originally standing outside the two tables and desks, only able to see the butterfly land on Su Hua's painting and not move, but they couldn't see what was in the painting.

Upon hearing this, they felt as if they had wheels of fire on their feet.

He dashed towards the desk where Su Hua and her brother were sitting.

However, as soon as they stood in front of the desk, the noisy sounds stopped instantly.

Then, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

"Half an hour has passed!"

In the center of the garden, the servant guarding the incense table saw the last bit of incense burn out and immediately raised his voice.

He gently tapped the small gong with the silver hammer in his hand.

"Thump—"

Upon hearing the sound of the gong, Wei Jianjia slowly put down her paintbrush, her beautiful eyes glancing at the painting on the table, a faint smile flashing across her face.

This painting is arguably her best work in recent times.

If she can't even get first place in this, then she's not surnamed Wei!

The girl's beautiful eyes were full of determination. She turned around and asked Liu Yuxian to hand her the teacup beside her. She had talked too much earlier and hadn't had a drop of water for half an hour, so she felt like her throat was parched.

But when he turned his head, he saw Liu Yuxian standing on tiptoe to look at the table next door.

His excited look was like a dog that hadn't eaten for three days and three nights suddenly seeing hot excrement.

She called out to him several times, but he didn't hear her.

Wei Jianjia's beautiful eyes lit up with joy, and she raised her hand and tugged hard at her sleeve.

"I wonder what Sister Liu is looking at so intently!"

"Butterflies!" Liu Yuxian exclaimed without turning her head, her fox-like eyes gleaming. "So many butterflies! A large fire butterfly has brought a swarm of beautiful butterflies. It seems like all the butterflies in Qichi Manor have come. How beautiful..."

"Butterfly?" Wei Jianjia raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but tiptoe to look ahead.

But a group of young masters and ladies had already surrounded the table, and all she could see were dark backs of their heads.

Only one or two butterflies could be vaguely seen fluttering outside.

Moreover, if she remembered correctly, this table was just occupied by the Su siblings.

At this moment, Su Hua and Su Dahu were also squeezed out of the crowd, but their expressions were indifferent, and nothing could be seen from their expressions.

As for Qin Yucheng and Qin Yingxian, they were currently in the very center of the crowd, staring intently at the table, or more precisely, at the painting on the table.

Seeing the boy so engrossed in Su Hua's painting, Wei Jianjia couldn't help but furrow her brows.

Why is he so biased? She's been working at her desk for half an hour, and he hasn't even glanced at her once, but he's been watching Su Hua for who knows how long.

Is her relationship with him really less valuable than that of Su Hua, who came along later in life?

Moreover, Su Hua's paintings are just blobs of black and red; they can't even be called paintings. Why should he waste his time on them?!

Thinking of this, the girl pinched her palm hard, her cold and beautiful face turning gloomy.

On the east side of the Hundred Flowers Garden, Ouyang Shanzhang heard the crisp sound of the gong and quickly stuffed the remaining half of the flower crab in his hand into his mouth.

Then, crunch, crunch, and a whole bunch of chewing.

He hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to wipe the oil from his mouth and goatee, then let out a satisfied sigh.

"The taste is unique and unforgettable. The fragrant rice noodles and seafood soup are the most satisfying meal I've ever had in my life!"

It would have been worth dying for.

"Little Wei, this Hundred Flowers Banquet was great! It was worth coming, hahaha..."

"I wonder who was it that was dragging their feet and unwilling to come back in the first place." The page boy glanced at the old man, dusted off his sleeves, and stood up.
