Chapter 706: Reunion after a long separation
As Xiao Yeyang wiped her hair, it gradually dried. Daohua casually played with the hair hanging in front of her chest, and occasionally turned her head to look at Xiao Yeyang who was standing behind her.
Every time she looked over, she would always meet Xiao Yeyang's gaze.
Seeing the smile and tenderness in his eyes, Daohua felt her whole heart was sweet.
I thought that after not seeing each other for two years, there would be some distance and unfamiliarity when we met again. I never expected that besides being filled with joy, all that remained in my mind were the happy memories of our past time together.
The breeze blows gently, the mist rises, and the air is full of sweetness.
Neither of them concealed the joy in their hearts after meeting again after a long separation, and they both quietly enjoyed the tranquility and comfort of the moment.
Xiao Yeyang carefully wiped Daohua's long, black and smooth hair. The soft feeling of the hair passing through his fingertips was like a brush scratching his heart. A faint fragrance wafted from her hair, making people intoxicated.
Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but bend down and want to smell the fragrance of the hair.
"Are you ready?"
Feeling that Xiao Yeyang stopped wiping, Daohua couldn't help but turn her head to look over. As luck would have it, the tips of their noses touched each other unexpectedly.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang's face so close to her and his shiny black eyes, Daohua's heart suddenly began to beat like a deer's.
Xiao Yeyang stared at the rice flowers, at the pair of almond-shaped eyes that were wide open in shock, and at the rosy red lips that were slightly opened, making people want to kiss them.
Xiao Yeyang's mouth became dry again. He tilted his head slightly and kissed the red lips decisively and quickly.
The soft and plump red lips were as sweet as he remembered. Now Xiao Yeyang was no longer satisfied with a superficial kiss. He stretched out his arm and held Daohua's head as she tried to move back, deepening the kiss almost as if possessive.
Domineering, fiery, yet gentle.
When Daohua was about to suffocate, Xiao Yeyang slowly stopped, looked at Daohua's blushing cheeks, and chuckled, "Silly girl, why are you holding your breath?"
Daohua blinked and turned her head away uncomfortably. Why? Of course it was because she was too nervous and forgot!
Looking at Daohua, whose inner thoughts were all revealed on her face, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but smile and pecked her red lips lightly: "It's okay, you'll get used to it slowly in the future."
Daohua glared, her girlish shyness surfaced, and she blushed and spat at him: "Bah, who would get used to it." Then she stood up and pretended to leave.
Xiao Yeyang quickly grabbed the person and hugged him in his arms. He said in a very good mood: "Why are you angry? I am telling the truth. Now that you have arrived in Beijing, I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the emperor's uncle to grant us a marriage. Then, my uncle will no longer be able to stop us from having our wedding night."
Daohua twisted Xiao Yeyang's arm, which was tightly hugging her, and said, "You're getting more excited the more you talk, aren't you?"
Looking at Daohua's shy look, Xiao Yeyang laughed happily, turned his head, and kissed Daohua's pink face lightly. One kiss was not enough, so he did it again.
Daohua dodged quickly, feeling the kisses on her face becoming more and more frequent, and had to speak up to stop them: "Xiao Yeyang, stop it right there."
"I didn't move my hands!" Xiao Yeyang replied in a dishonest manner.
Daohua hit him speechlessly: "Then shut up."
"I won't!" Xiao Yeyang refused directly.
Rice Flower: "If you do this again, I will be angry."
Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, if you kiss me first, I'll shut up."
"You wish!"
"Then I can't stop talking."
"Xiao Yeyang!!!"
While the two were playing around, an awkward cough suddenly came from behind them.
Daohua's body stiffened, and she patted Xiao Yeyang's hand, signaling him to let her go.
Xiao Yeyang withdrew his hand regretfully and turned to look at Wang Man'er and Bishi, who were standing not far away with their backs to them. "What's the matter?"
Wang Man'er and Bishi slowly turned around, combing tools still in their hands, bowed, and then said, "Grandpa called for dinner."
When Xiao Yeyang heard that it was Gu Jian looking for them, he immediately became serious: "Oh, we will be there right away."
Daohua also quickly called Wang Maner over to comb her hair: "Keep it simple, it won't make Master wait for us."
Wang Maner nodded and quickly combed Daohua's hair into a casual bun.
Looking at the yellow jade sunflower hairpin on Daohua's head, Xiao Yeyang's mouth curled up.
After Daohua had tidied her appearance, Xiao Yeyang took Daohua's hand and walked towards Gu Jian's yard.
Xiao Yeyang walked into Gu Jian's yard holding Daohua's hand, and then saw Gu Jian with a stern face, his eyes fixed on the hands they were holding.
When Daohua saw this, she quickly pulled her hand away.
Xiao Yeyang realized that he had displeased the old man, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and said a lot of good things about the boss. Only then did the old man give him a smile.
Gu Jian looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "A girl's reputation is the most important thing. Before the emperor issues an order to grant the marriage, you better keep it to yourself."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang touched his nose guiltily.
Daohua was a little embarrassed, but when she saw Caiju coming with a food box, she hurried over to help.
The porcelain bowl containing the soup was a little hot. After Daohua picked it up, she let out a cry and quickly put the bowl down on the table. She used too much force and some of the soup spilled out.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly walked over and grabbed Daohua's hands. Seeing Daohua's fingers were burned red, he felt distressed and blamed her: "Why are you so careless?" Then he looked at Wang Man'er and said, "Quickly, bring a basin of cold water."
Wang Maner hurried out of the house.
While waiting, Xiao Yeyang lowered his head and blew on the rice flowers with his hands.
Daohua saw Gu Jian looking at them and wanted to withdraw her hand, but Xiao Yeyang held on tightly and she couldn't break free: "Xiao Yeyang, I'm fine, please let go."
Xiao Yeyang ignored her and waited for Wang Maner to bring cold water. He then personally held Daohua's hand and soaked it in the water.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore. It was nothing."
Xiao Yeyang glared at Daohua: "When will you let me stop worrying so much?"
Daohua glared: "When did I make you worry?"
Xiao Yeyang: "You said you didn't, but you can burn your hand even when eating." As he said that, he grabbed Daohua's hand and looked at it carefully, then asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
Daohua quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Xiao Yeyang took the handkerchief handed to him by Wang Man'er and helped Daohua wipe the water off her hands. Then he checked again and made sure that her fingertips were no longer red before he said nothing.
"Is it time to eat?"
Looking at his nephew's nervous expression, Gu Jian felt extremely annoyed.
Daohua felt a little embarrassed and said quickly, "Okay." Then she sat down next to Gu Jian.
Xiao Yeyang followed and sat next to her.
The table was square with four sides. Seeing that his nephew insisted on squeezing into one side with his apprentice, Gu Jian wanted to roll his eyes speechlessly. However, thinking that they had been separated for two years and now they were reunited and wanted to stick together, he didn't say anything.
At the dinner table, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang kept picking up food for Gu Jian. Amid their jokes and laughter, Gu Jian felt as if he was back in Taohua An, where they were sitting together eating.
Looking at the empty space on his left hand, a trace of sadness flashed across Gu Jian's eyes. It was a pity that his sister was gone.
"Xiao Yeyang, I don't want to eat steamed black-bone chicken."
"I remember you used to like eating it."
“I eat chicken without skin.”
"Hey, I thought your taste had changed. What's the big deal? I ate the chicken skin and you can just eat the meat."
Seeing that the two children got along well with each other and did not become unfamiliar with each other after being separated for a while, Gu Jian felt relieved but also felt it was unbearable to watch.
"Master, look at Xiao Yeyang. I said I didn't want to eat anymore, but he insisted on giving it to me."
"Uncle, this is not my fault. She eats too little."
"Eating too much will make you fat."
"You're fat, I don't mind you."
"I despise it."
Looking at the two people bickering, Gu Jian couldn't think about Grandma Gu anymore: "I say, you two, have stopped. Are you going to let others eat?" Although his tone was harsh, the corners of his mouth were raised.
After a long separation, the three of them were enjoying the joy of being together.
