Chapter 347, Thoughts
The moment she saw the falcon, Daohua guessed that it was placed there by Xiao Yeyang. Sure enough, the next day, this guy came with Defu.
When the two arrived, it was noon, and the backs of their clothes were wet with sweat.
"Why are you here at this hour? You're not afraid of getting sunburned even in such a scorching sun."
Grandma Gu looked at Xiao Yeyang with a reproachful look.
Gu Jian also glanced at him with dissatisfaction.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. I'm in good health and nothing will happen."
Granny Gu said unhappily, "Even if I were in good health, I wouldn't tolerate you ruining me like this."
Xiao Yeyang smiled awkwardly. He couldn't respond to the two old people's concerns, so he could only listen.
Daohua sat by and watched. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, she stood up and poured him a cup of cold tea: "Have some tea first and relax!"
Xiao Yeyang's eyes immediately glued to Daohua. He looked at her straight, took the tea with a smile, and held it in his hand without drinking it.
Seeing that he didn't drink, Daohua was puzzled: "Aren't you thirsty?"
"oh!"
Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses and drank the tea in his hand in one gulp.
Seeing that he was drinking too quickly, Daohua quickly said, "Drink slowly. Do you want another cup?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and nodded: "Okay."
Daohua filled his cup again, looked at the sweat still dripping down his cheeks, shook her head, put down the teapot, and turned to go to the kitchen.
Xiao Yeyang quickly straightened up: "Where are you going?"
Daohuatou didn't even turn around: "Go get you some hot water to wipe your face."
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang sat back down and drank the tea in his hand silently.
On the side, Defu felt inexplicably silly when he saw his master like this.
Soon, Daohua came over with hot water and handed a wet handkerchief to Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang took a look at the rice flowers before taking the handkerchief and wiping them.
After Xiao Yeyang finished wiping his face and hands, Daohua said, "I'll ask Man'er to boil some hot water. You and Defu can go take a bath first, and then come to eat."
Xiao Yeyang put the handkerchief back into the basin and nodded: "Okay."
Afterwards, Xiao Yeyang said something to Grandma Gu and Gu Jian, then turned around and went to his room to change.
Yes, Xiao Yeyang has his own room in Taohua An. Ever since he lived there for a while while the road was being built, Grandma Gu said that the room had been reserved for him and he could come and live there whenever he wanted.
After two cups of tea, Xiao Yeyang came to the dining room dressed in new clothes. At this time, Daohua had already brought the food to the table.
Granny Gu quickly waved to Xiao Yeyang, "Come and sit down to eat. You came at the right time today. Yiyi made a lot of delicious food."
Xiao Yeyang sat down and looked at the dishes on the table. He found that many of them were his favorites. He immediately looked at Daohua, who was serving soup to Grandma Gu and Gu Jian, with a smile in his eyes.
Daohua felt Xiao Yeyang's gaze and immediately glanced at him, signaling him to eat well.
Xiao Yeyang smiled silently, picked up his bowl and started eating.
"Grandma, try this."
"Master Gu, your favorite boiled pork slices."
Xiao Yeyang ate himself while using serving chopsticks to serve food to the two elderly people from time to time.
As for Daohua, he was a bit casual when picking up food for her. He didn't change his chopsticks at all and just used his own chopsticks to pick up food for her.
Daohua didn't notice this, but the two old men saw it.
Seeing that the two were so close to each other, Grandma Gu was happy. Gu Jian glanced at Xiao Yeyang but did not point out his little thoughts.
After lunch, Daohua helped Grandma Gu walk around the yard for a while while they ate. After Grandma Gu returned to her room for a nap, she herself felt a little sleepy and walked towards her room.
However, as soon as he walked out of the main hall, he saw Xiao Yeyang standing under the eaves.
"It's so hot, why are you standing outside instead of staying inside?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, was silent for a moment, and walked forward: "Are you hiding from me?"
Daohua was stunned at first, then smiled speechlessly and said, "Why would I hide from you?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Then why didn't you talk to me when I went to your house last time?"
Daohua spread her hands and said, "My mother told me to do that. She said that I'm getting older day by day and I can no longer play with you guys like I did when I was little."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Why is Aunt Li like this?"
Daohua looked dissatisfied and said, "Don't say bad things about my mother. She is doing this for my own good."
Xiao Yeyang quickly said, "I didn't say anything bad about Aunt Li, please don't misunderstand me."
Daohua curled her lips and didn't continue: "Aren't you training in the military camp? Why are you here?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and thought, it’s all because of her.
The last time he went to Yan's house, he was unable to talk to her alone. After arriving at the military camp, he couldn't muster the energy to do anything. During several sparring matches, he was almost kicked off the martial arts stage, which was extremely embarrassing.
"I'm here to see Granny Gu and Master Gu."
Daohua glanced at him sideways and pointed at the hawk on the peach tree in the yard: "Why did you leave the Saker Falcon here?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression froze, and he said with his neck stiff, "It's to entertain Granny Gu and Master Gu."
Daohua was speechless: "You are really capable, using the falcon that was used to scout and deliver messages to entertain people."
Seeing his little trick exposed, Xiao Yeyang felt a little embarrassed, but he quickly regained his composure: "There's nothing I can do. I'm just different."
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "Xiao Yeyang, when did you become so shameless?"
Xiao Yeyang simply lost all sense of shame and raised his chin: "Is it thick? I think it's still not enough. I need to keep working on it."
Now Daohua was completely speechless. She pushed him aside with her hand and said, "Get out of the way. I'm going to take a nap." After that, she walked past him and went to her room.
Xiao Yeyang wanted to follow, but immediately gave up the idea. He could only watch Daohua go back to the house and close the door. After watching for a while, he turned around and went back to his room silently.
"Master, this is the watermelon juice that Miss Man'er just sent. She said it was specially prepared by Miss Yan. It's chilled with well water."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang return to the room, Defu immediately brought him watermelon juice.
Xiao Yeyang immediately smiled, picked up the wine and took a few big gulps. He had eaten too much at noon and couldn't finish it.
Looking at the remaining watermelon juice, thinking that it was made by Daohua herself, Xiao Yeyang was reluctant to throw it away. He said to Defu, "Put it in the fridge and drink it after I wake up."
This time he came on horseback.
It takes about two hours to ride from Ningmen Pass to Taohua Mountain. Even though he is in good health, he is a little tired after being baked in the scorching sun for so long, and now he is very sleepy.
As soon as he got out of bed, Xiao Yeyang fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already an hour later.
Not seeing the rice flowers in the yard, Xiao Yeyang immediately asked Defu, "Where are the rice flowers?"
Defu: "Miss Yan has gone down the mountain."
Xiao Yeyang raised his leg and walked out of the yard: "Why didn't you call me?"
Defu smiled and said, "Miss Yan didn't allow it. She said the master had been riding for half a day and needed to rest well to avoid hurting his body."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang was pleased, but he said, "She is quite lenient."
Defu continued with a smile, "Just now, this servant was chatting with Miss Man'er, and she said that Miss Yan knew that the master would be coming today, so she specially prepared a table of dishes that the master likes."
After hearing this, Xiao Yeyang suddenly felt that the sultry weather was no longer so unbearable.
