While in Southeast Asia, she wore a light pink dress, which made her look rosy and delicate.
Her hair was gathered at the back by the stylist and secured with butterfly hair clips, making her look ethereal and fairy-like.
She wore small butterfly clip-on earrings, making her look like an elf descended to earth.
However, there was something in the way of getting in the way.
Zhao Xiaoyue casually said, "I don't have any favorite colors, as long as they look good to me."
Zhao Xiaoyue handed a skewer of grilled meat to Situ Ming, and the boy took it and ate a bite.
"Isn't it said that girls all like pink? Don't you like it?"
Zhao Xiaoyue was stuffing a string of mushrooms into her mouth when she heard this. She squinted at Situ Ming with the skewer that was missing two mushrooms.
"How do you know so much about girls? Tell me, do you have a girlfriend?"
After finishing, he stuffed the mushrooms into his mouth and ate them with relish.
The boy opposite me crossed his arms and asked with amusement, "How old am I? How old are you? How do we talk?"
“Ah, that’s true,” Zhao Xiaoyue agreed. “I think pink is childish. But for children aged zero to five, pink is still very cute.”
Situ meditated, but this guy misheard. He meant "they are both small," but apparently he didn't understand.
Forget it, she's only thirteen years old, let's take it slow!
"Hmm, you're right. So what color do you like?" Situ Ming asked tentatively. "For example, if you owned a house, what color would you like to paint it?"
Zhao Xiaoyue became interested, squatted on the stool, and began to share her thoughts.
“If I had a house, let me think about it,” she said, taking a bite of a kebab and swallowing it with a smacking sound. “The exterior should definitely be a normal color scheme, because if it’s too weird, people will laugh at us.”
Situ Ming nodded and silently ate the meat pieces on the skewer.
"The interior decoration should ideally be predominantly white, with warm colors as accents. The most important room is the bedroom, which I want decorated in the colors of the sky and the sea..."
Zhao Xiaoyue imagined herself in such a house, she thought it would be a wonderful feeling!
Situ pondered for a moment, then asked, "As for plants, what kind of plants do you like?"
Zhao Xiaoyue was pulled back to her senses. "Why do you keep asking me about my preferences? What kind of plants do you like?"
Situ Ming coughed lightly, "Back in Yanyang Village, there were many foxtail grasses on the mountain. They were tender in spring and fuzzy in autumn. If I had to say which plant I like... I like foxtail grass!"
Hearing what the person opposite her said reminded her of the time when she was pricked by the hard stubble of foxtail grass and cried out in pain.
There's really nothing aesthetically pleasing about it, but everyone has different tastes, so if you like it, you like it!
"Oh, did you know that foxtail grass has another name?"
The cunning little girl looked at the boy opposite her and said, "Guess what this nickname is."
Situ Ming shook his head directly, "I just like a certain kind of plant, it doesn't matter what it's called."
"The Siberian Nine-Tailed Fox!"
Situ Ming didn't hear clearly and asked, "What?"
Zhao Xiaoyue laughed and said, "The plant you like has another name: Siberian Nine-Tailed Fox, hahaha..."
Looking at the unladylike girl, Situ Ming really wanted to pinch her cheeks.
"Sit still, don't fall!"
Zhao Xiaoyue sat down again. "Don't you think this name is more elegant than 'foxtail grass'?"
Situ Ming smiled faintly, "Whether she's refined or not doesn't matter, as long as it's her."
"Hey, young man, you really have a special fondness for this," she said, pointing to the skewers in front of him. "Eat up quickly, they won't taste good when they get cold."
Situ Ming then asked, seemingly casually, "And you? What kind of plants or animals do you like?"
As Zhao Xiaoyue ate her skewers, images of vast flower fields in Huanhai Town appeared in her mind—the very fields that Master Pu had created specifically for Huo Qingqing.
Huo Qingqing probably didn't have time to see it, right?
The little girl's sudden silence and sadness startled Situ Ming, who frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xiaoyue concealed the sadness in her eyes and said, "I like growing vegetables, all kinds of vegetables, and all kinds of fruit trees. I like orchards!"
That hint of gloom did not escape Situ Ming's eyes.
But he teased her, saying, "Your taste is quite unique. I see that all the girls in our class like all kinds of flowers, and they say that flowers can bring them a good mood."
Zhao Xiaoyue rolled her eyes at Situ Ming.
"That thing looks nice but is useless, it's expensive, and it requires careful maintenance. It's such a hassle!"
Situ Ming: "??? Your statement sounds a bit...resentful?"
Of course, there will be resentment.
Such a vast sea of flowers costs hundreds of millions of yuan a year.
It's fortunate that the Pu family is wealthy; otherwise, an ordinary person really wouldn't be able to manage such a large field of flowers.
Situ Ming later answered her question.
Faced with such a vast sea of flowers, Situ Ming exclaimed with emotion, "I am willing to give everything to love you!"
Zhao Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment before she realized how much her master loved his wife!
Right now, she thinks it can be summed up in two words: wasteful!
Situ Ming watched the little girl eat, her mouth full of oil from a bite of barbecue and a sip of juice.
He took out a tissue and wiped the oil stain off for her. "Is there any particular reason for this?"
"There's no particular rule. Flowers aren't edible, they're just for looking at," Zhao Xiaoyue said, shrugging. "I'm a practical person; vegetables and fruits are edible too!"
After he finished speaking, the boy opposite him smiled and agreed, "Yes, I think so too!"
Zhao Xiaoyue was delighted; it was rare to find someone who shared her interests.
