Chapter 608: We are all grown up, it’s time to get married
With her hands tightly held, Daohua had no choice but to sit by the bed and watch over Xiao Yeyang. She would check on him and Yan Wentao from time to time. Seeing that both of them were sleeping soundly, she felt relieved.
It is easy to feel sleepy at noon in the summer. In addition, Daohua was a little tired because she was busy helping Mrs. Li prepare for her stepfather's birthday in the past two days. As her mind relaxed, she fell asleep unconsciously.
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Yeyang's eyes suddenly opened, and in a moment, a figure appeared outside the house.
Xiao Yeyang suddenly turned over and sat up. Only then did he see Daohua sleeping on the edge of the bed. Looking at his and her clasped hands, a smile flashed across his eyes. He then carefully let go of his hand, got out of bed without making a sound, walked to the window, and asked in a low voice, "Have you caught the person?"
The secret guard outside the house said: "I failed in my duty. The monk escaped. However, he was hit by the 'blood-killing throat' given by the master. He will definitely not survive."
Xiao Yeyang frowned and said, "Keep looking. I want to see the body. Also, the secret letter he took away must be returned to me."
The monk was the Eighth Prince's man. The secret letter he took away was the one he was going to report to the Emperor's uncle. It contained a list of the Eighth Prince's party members that he had found out through the Su family.
Furthermore, the monk knew his, Wentao's, and Wenkai's identities. If their identities as Jinling Guards were leaked, it would definitely be more difficult for them to secretly investigate the Eight Kings' party in the future.
The last and most important point is that once Uncle Eighth Prince knows that Wen Kai and Wen Tao are involved in the Sishan Village incident, the Yan family is likely to be retaliated by Uncle Eighth Prince and his party. He will absolutely not allow anything that will harm Daohua to happen.
The secret guard received the order and left quickly.
Xiao Yeyang turned around and went back to the bed. He saw Daohua lying on the edge of the bed. He felt that it was very uncomfortable to sleep like that, so he bent down and tried to carry Daohua to the bed.
Because of the silver needle stuck in her chest, Xiao Yeyang's movements were a little uncoordinated when he held her. Just when he picked up Daohua and was about to put her on the bed, Daohua slowly opened her eyes.
Looking at Daohua's confused eyes, Xiao Yeyang whispered, "Did I wake you up?"
Daohua was still a little confused after waking up. At this moment, Xiao Yeyang was still carrying her to the bed. When she realized this, her mind suddenly cleared up: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yeyang put her on the bed according to her current posture: "I saw you fell asleep on the edge of the bed, and I wanted to carry you to the bed to rest."
After being put on the bed, Daohua immediately wanted to sit up, but Xiao Yeyang had not straightened up yet. Daohua half-raised her body and saw the silver needle inserted in Xiao Yeyang's chest. In order to avoid touching the silver needle, she had to stop.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang bending over and looking at her with a smile, Daohua didn't meet his eyes. She turned her head away and said, "Get out of the way first. I'm very tired."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, straightened up, and after Daohua sat up, he sat down beside her.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang next to her, especially with his upper body naked at the moment, Daohua couldn't help but move to the side.
When Xiao Yeyang saw this, he smiled and shook his head.
Daohua took out her pocket watch and glanced at it, then said to Xiao Yeyang, "It's almost time for acupuncture. Lie down first and I'll remove the needles for you."
Xiao Yeyang nodded and lay down on the bed obediently, his eyes fixed on the rice flowers.
Daohua felt it, but pretended not to know. She sat on the edge of the bed and began to help him remove the needle.
She hadn't paid attention to it before because she was worried about his injury, but now she realized that Xiao Yeyang's chest muscles were quite strong. Her eyes couldn't help but move downwards, and when she saw the conspicuous eight-pack abs, her eyes flashed. She thought to herself, before she knew it, the little brat had grown into a tall and mighty man.
Xiao Yeyang noticed Daohua's little look and couldn't help but chuckle.
Daohua came back to her senses, quickly retracted her gaze, and began to concentrate on pulling out the needle. She pressed Xiao Yeyang's skin with one hand, gently turned the silver needle with the other hand, and then slowly pulled out the needle.
Xiao Yeyang lay on the bed, looking at the rice flowers carefully. Every time her cool fingers touched him, he couldn't help feeling itchy in his heart.
Daohua pulled out the needles very quickly, and soon she had finished pulling out all the silver needles: "Okay, you should sleep for a while longer. You didn't sleep for long just now."
Daohua was just about to stand up when her hand was grabbed by Xiao Yeyang.
Rice Flower: “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Yeyang held Daohua's hand: "Please stay with me for a while."
Daohua glared at him and said, "I still have to go remove the needle for my third brother." After saying that, she forcibly pulled her hand out, stood up and walked towards Yan Wentao who was lying on the ground.
Xiao Yeyang looked at his hand with some regret, turned over and lay on his side, then propped up his head and watched Daohua remove the needle for Yan Wentao. Looking at Daohua's increasingly graceful figure, he suddenly said: "Daohua, my birthday is coming soon."
Daohua concentrated on pulling out the needle without looking up: "Don't worry, I remember it. I will definitely make you a pig's head cake on your birthday."
Xiao Yeyang sighed: "Time flies so fast, I'm already seventeen."
Daohua nodded: "Isn't it."
Xiao Yeyang added, "You'll be fourteen soon, and you'll be coming of age in a year."
Daohua nodded again: "Yes."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua and said, "At my age, if I were in the capital, my uncle the emperor would have already arranged a marriage for me."
Daohua finally responded and looked up at Xiao Yeyang: "What do you want to say?"
Xiao Yeyang: "We are all grown up, it's time to get married."
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, then looked away and continued to remove the needle from Yan Wentao.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but sit up and asked, "Well, don't you have anything to say?"
Daohua glanced at him sideways: "What do you want me to say? Can I stop the emperor from arranging a marriage for you?"
Xiao Yeyang: "That's not what I meant. I meant that I have grown up. Don't scholars compare young girls to delicate flowers? Now I am a big tree that can shelter delicate flowers."
Daohua looked at him: "So?"
Xiao Yeyang felt a little embarrassed for once. He turned over and took out a token from under his pillow: "The reward for going to the border has come down. I've been promoted again."
Looking at Xiao Yeyang's confident and flamboyant eyes, Daohua smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Xiao Yeyang added, "Your two brothers have also been promoted. Due to their great contributions, they are now both fifth-rank Qianhu Lords."
Daohua said proudly, "My brother is the best."
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang was a little unhappy and said sourly: "When I got promoted, you didn't smile as much as you do now."
Daohua glanced at him and said, "Of course, the two brothers are definitely closer."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang couldn't sit still anymore and sat up directly: "Why, in your heart, your two brothers are closer to you than me?"
Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang looking straight at her and was silent for a moment: "It's different. Third brother and fourth brother are close relatives, and you..."
Xiao Yeyang quickly asked, "How am I?"
Daohua: ".You, are just like friends."
Xiao Yeyang was speechless: "In your heart, I am just a friend?"
