Chapter 530, Intercept
Under the gaze of the four girls, Yan Wenkai calmly finished eating the Yuanxiao, and even after finishing it, he still looked unsatisfied.
"Wen Kai, what's wrong with you? Why are you sitting with the girls? Come here, I want to arm wrestle with you." Su Hongxin's voice suddenly rang out.
Yan Wenkai replied, "Coming, coming." He looked at Su Shiyu and Daohua and the others and said, "Come on, watch us arm wrestle."
Daohua shook her head: "I haven't finished eating my Yuanxiao yet."
Dong Yuanyao continued, "I don't have any either."
Yan Wenkai looked at their bowls and didn't try to persuade them. Instead, he looked at Su Shiyu and said, "Sister Su, you definitely want to go, right?"
Su Shiyu saw Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looking at her jokingly, and looked a little uncomfortable. Just as she was about to say no, Yan Wenkai reached out and pulled her up.
"Let's go and see who's better, me or your brother."
Looking at Su Shiyu being dragged away, Dong Yuanyao sighed: "Yiyi, I used to think your fourth brother was honest and simple, but now I realize that I was wrong."
Daohua nodded in agreement.
She also felt that she had underestimated her fourth brother in the past. Although her fourth brother was a bit reckless, he would never hesitate when it came time to act. This decisiveness was truly unmatched by others.
Dong Yuanyao leaned close to Daohua's ear and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Su? She followed your fourth brother so obediently. When did she and your fourth brother fall in love?"
Daohua glared, "What do you mean by love? Don't talk nonsense. Sister Su is just embarrassed to reject my fourth brother."
Dong Yuanyao snorted, but didn't say anything more. Even if Yan Wenkai and Su Shiyu were interested in each other, it would be bad for Su Shiyu's reputation to bring such things up.
On the side, watching Yan Wenkai pulling Su Shiyu away without even asking her a question, Yang Xiujun couldn't help but stir the Yuanxiao in the bowl into a mess. Seeing Daohua and Dong Yuanyao laughing and whispering in each other's ears, she felt even more uncomfortable.
At this moment, Yan Wenkai had already started arm wrestling with Su Hongxin, while Yan Wenxiu, Dong Yuanxuan and others were standing by and watching with a smile.
Yang Xiujun looked at Su Shiyu, thought for a moment, and then asked Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, "Cousin Yiyi, let's go over and take a look."
Daohua glanced at her and shook her head decisively: "No."
Yang Xiujun was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin: "Yishuang, Zixin, do you want to watch cousin Wen Kai arm wrestle?"
Yan Yishuang and Li Zixin hadn't finished eating Yuanxiao yet, so they just said they would wait and see.
Although no one was with her, Yang Xiujun stood up when she saw Su Shiyu standing alone next to Yan Wenkai. "I haven't seen cousin Wenkai arm wrestle yet. I'll go over and take a look."
After Yang Xiujun left, Dong Yuanyao nudged Daohua and asked, "What's going on with your cousin?"
Daohua lowered her eyes: "It's okay, it won't be long anyway, she will return to Beijing with her mother."
Dong Yuanyao didn't want to pry into other people's family affairs. "I've finished eating, and the parade won't start for a while. How about we go for a walk first?"
Daohua immediately became interested: "Okay, when I came here before, I saw a lot of jugglers and performers on the street from the carriage. They looked very interesting."
Seeing that everyone was watching Yan Wenkai and Su Hongxin arm wrestling, the two looked at each other, neither of them intending to disturb others. They just called the servants of their respective brothers, left a message, saying that they were going for a walk in the street and would be back soon, and then went downstairs.
"Although the view from upstairs is wider and there's less crowding, I still prefer walking down the street to see the lanterns and experience the excitement and joy firsthand."
As soon as they got to the street, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao came alive, looking around happily.
"There's a mask store over there, let's go buy one and put it on."
Daohua pulled Dong Yuanyao to the stall selling masks. Although ladies could go out to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, it was not appropriate for them to show their faces in public and wander around the streets openly. They still had to be careful.
"Yiyi, can you help me see which mask looks better?"
There are many kinds of masks on the stall.
Daohua picked out a rabbit mask for Dong Yuanyao. Dong Yuanyao tried it on his face and was not very satisfied: "The rabbit is too weak and does not suit my style. Change it."
"Puff~"
Suddenly, a low laugh came from beside me.
Dong Yuanyao turned around and saw that it was Sun Changze. She was immediately surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
Sun Changze greeted Daohua first, then pointed to the restaurant next to him and said, "I booked a private room to watch the lanterns. I just saw you upstairs, so I thought I'd come down to say hello."
Daohua smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence."
Sun Changze looked at the mask stall, quickly picked up a monkey mask, and said with a smile: "Monkeys are agile and flexible, just right for a brave and resourceful girl."
Dong Yuanyao took a look at the mask in Sun Changze's hand and thought it was quite acceptable. She thought she might as well try it on. Just as she was about to reach out to take it, Daohua took the lead.
"You have good taste. You know I like monkey masks."
"Since when did you like monkey masks?"
Xiao Yeyang's voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Daohua turned around unexpectedly: "Why are you here?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Sun Changze, took the monkey mask from Daohua's hand, and then spoke: "You two dared to run out into the street without permission in front of so many people. I saw it, so of course I had to follow you and keep an eye on you."
After saying that, he put the monkey mask on the stall and chose a pig head mask instead.
"I think this mask suits you better."
Daohua glanced at the pig-head mask with some disdain: "I think the pig head damages my image."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "I think it's very cute. Didn't you always like pig heads? Come, let me put it on you." As he said that, he personally put the mask on Daohua's face, and then he also took a pig head mask and put it on himself.
On the side, Sun Changze picked up the monkey mask again and handed it to Dong Yuanyao: "Miss Dong, here!"
Dong Yuanyao rolled her eyes at Sun Changze and said, "I don't want the one you picked for Yi Yi." Then, she picked up a bull-head mask and put it on.
Sun Changze: “.”
He clearly chose it for Miss Dong, but Miss Yan misunderstood.
After putting on the mask, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua and Dong Yuanyao for a stroll. Seeing that no one was chasing him away, Sun Changze followed them with a smile.
On both sides of the street, all kinds of lanterns are hung in front of the shops, and the lights are swaying, which is unique and wonderful.
"This Pisces lantern is really beautiful."
When Sun Changze saw Dong Yuanyao holding Daohua and pointing at the lantern in front of a shop in amazement, he felt a little moved. When Daohua and the other two continued to move forward, he took a step behind and spent a large sum of money to buy the Pisces lantern from the owner.
Just as he was happily holding the lantern and preparing to give it to Dong Yuanyao, Daohua spoke again: "Sun Changze, you are so kind. You knew I liked this Pisces lantern, so you bought it for me."
The smile on Sun Changze's face froze. He looked at the rice flowers that stretched out their hands and looked at him happily, and handed the lantern in his hand to them with a wry smile.
