Chapter 606: Chapter 555, Endless Affection_1

“Alright, Daohua, I was wrong. Please spare me!”

Xiao Yeyang’s pleas for mercy echoed throughout Taohua Mountain.

Daohua was truly infuriated this time, feeling like she had lost all face. Even though she was panting heavily from the chase, she clenched her teeth and persisted in not letting Xiao Yeyang go.

Seeing Daohua dripping with sweat from running, Xiao Yeyang deliberately slowed down to let her hit him a few times to vent her anger.

The branches were thin and snapped after a few hits.

Gasping for breath, Daohua threw away the twig and glared at Xiao Yeyang with fury in her eyes.

Xiao Yeyang touched his nose, “Your anger is really unreasonable….”

Daohua immediately put her hands on her hips and glared, “Say that again!”

Xiao Yeyang immediately softened, “I won’t say it, I won’t say it. Look at you, sweating all over from running. Don’t you find it tiring?” He then walked over to Daohua and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

Daohua gave Xiao Yeyang a sidelong glance and snatched the handkerchief from him to wipe her own sweat.

When most of the sweat was wiped off, Daohua noticed a small bunch of rice ears embroidered on the handkerchief, “Eh, isn’t this my handkerchief?”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang reached out to take it back, “This is mine.”

Daohua dodged with the handkerchief in hand, “This is clearly mine,” she said, preparing to leave with the handkerchief.

Xiao Yeyang became anxious, grabbed her, and didn’t let her go, “Yan Yiyi, don’t be too much, return my handkerchief.” With that, he tried to snatch it back.

Of course, Daohua wouldn’t agree, she broke free from Xiao Yeyang’s grasp and ran away quickly.

“Yan Yiyi!”

Xiao Yeyang hurriedly ran after her.

Not far away, De Fu and Wang Manman exchanged glances as they watched the two start their chase again, then silently proceeded towards Taohua Temple with baskets full of peach blossoms.

“Manman, have we picked enough peach blossoms?”

“It should be enough.”

After a while, Wang Manman asked, “De Fu, do you think I should remind the young lady to come back and brew the Peach Blossom Wine?”

“No!”

De Fu replied with utter certainty, “Manman, we haven’t even cleaned these peach blossoms yet, and aren’t the tools for brewing also not ready? These preparations will take time. There’s really no need to rush Lady Yan back here. Let’s get everything ready first, then we’ll tell her.”

“Alright then!”

Within the peach grove, Daohua naturally couldn’t outrun Xiao Yeyang, and it wasn’t long before he caught up with her.

“I’m not running anymore, I’m not running. I’m exhausted.”

“Then return the handkerchief to me.”

“No, it’s mine.”

While they struggled over the handkerchief, Xiao Yeyang wrapped his arms around Daohua from behind to prevent her from running any further, “Quickly give back the handkerchief to me.”

Feeling trapped tightly in Xiao Yeyang’s embrace, Daohua struggled a few times, but realizing she couldn’t get free, she threw the handkerchief into the air. She took the opportunity to break free while Xiao Yeyang reached for the handkerchief.

Xiao Yeyang caught the handkerchief, folded it neatly, and put it back into his sleeve before turning his gaze towards Daohua, “You are really petty, always wanting to take back what you’ve given away.”

Daohua glanced at him askance and huffed, raising her hands to fan herself continuously.

Under the peach trees, the young girl’s eyes shimmered, and her blushing cheeks seemed more delicate than the peach blossoms in full bloom on the mountain.

Xiao Yeyang walked over and leaned casually against a peach tree, watching her with a tender, affectionate smile.

Feeling uncomfortable under Xiao Yeyang’s gaze, Daohua huffed and turned away from him, continuing to fan herself to cool down.

Xiao Yeyang chuckled to himself and kept watching in silence. Only after noticing that Daohua’s cheeks weren’t as red did he approach and take her hand, “Let’s go, it’s time to head back. You can’t stay here and catch a cold after sweating so much.”

Daohua tried to pull her hand away, but it was to no avail. Eventually, she let it be and allowed Xiao Yeyang to lead her back to Taohua Temple.

…

Taohua Temple.

Defu and Wang Manman had already cleaned several baskets of peach blossoms, while Granny Gu watched from the side, and Gu Jian was boiling medicine under the eaves.

Seeing Xiao Yeyang leading Master Daohua back, Gu Jian immediately snorted.

Xiao Yeyang heard it and quickly let go of Master Daohua’s hand. Rubbing his nose, he approached Granny Gu and handed her a few peach blossoms he had picked on the way back, “Granny, these are for you. I’ll put them in a vase later and place them in your room so you can enjoy them anytime you want.”

Granny Gu’s eyes crinkled with a smile at once. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gu Jian snort.

“There’s a whole mountain of peach blossoms outside the courtyard; did you really need to pick a few to show off?”

Xiao Yeyang gave an awkward smile, feeling rather embarrassed.

Granny Gu glared sideways at Gu Jian with a stern face, then immediately turned her gaze back to Xiao Yeyang, smiling warmly, “Good child, don’t listen to Master Daohua’s nonsense. Granny likes to admire the peach blossoms in the vase.”

Xiao Yeyang immediately smiled, “Then good, I’ll pick more for you tomorrow.”

Master Daohua watched with a smile from the side. The more she interacted with them, the more she realized that her master and Granny Gu seemed to truly treat Xiao Yeyang as their own grandson. Despite her master always sporting a stoic expression towards Xiao Yeyang, the care and affection in his eyes could not be faked.

Seeing his apprentice propping her chin and daydreaming again, Gu Jian felt a headache coming on and immediately spoke out, “With so many peach blossoms picked, you’re blocking the courtyard. Hurry up and clean them up; don’t delay my drying of medicinal herbs.”

Master Daohua snapped back to reality and went over to help Wang Manman and Defu clean the peach blossoms.

Xiao Yeyang first returned to his room to arrange the peach blossoms in a vase, then went over to Master Daohua’s side and rolled up his sleeves, “How should we clean them?”

Master Daohua demonstrated once, “Just rinse them in water and wash the dust off the petals. It’s very simple.”

Xiao Yeyang followed suit.

However, he was not cut out for this kind of work. Not only were the peach blossoms not properly cleaned, but his robe also ended up getting wet first, and even Master Daohua, who was nearby, got splashed as collateral damage.

“Oh, just go away, don’t get in the way of our work,” Master Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with disdain.

Xiao Yeyang replied, “No, this is my first time doing this; of course, it’s going to be a bit awkward at first. I’ll get the hang of it after a few more tries.”

To avoid getting her clothes wet, Master Daohua moved away from him a bit.

Suddenly, Xiao Yeyang exclaimed, “Master Daohua, look, what is this?”

Master Daohua turned her head to look and then saw a peach blossom flying towards her. It landed on her forehead with a cool touch, “What are you doing?”

As she spoke, she reached out to touch her forehead.

That’s when Wang Manman spoke up, “Miss, don’t touch it.”

Master Daohua’s hand paused in midair, “What’s happened?”

Xiao Yeyang stepped forward, placed his hand on Master Daohua’s shoulder, and had her bow her head to look into the water.

In the water’s reflection, a peach blossom was perfectly placed at the center of Master Daohua’s brows, making her appear even more delicate.

“They say a woman’s beauty is enhanced when she adorns her hair with flowers, and it turns out to be true,” Xiao Yeyang said softly as he looked at Master Daohua’s reflection in the water, smiling slowly.

Having said that, he helped Master Daohua up and pushed her in front of Granny Gu.

“Granny, does it look nice?”

Granny Gu studied her carefully and then laughed, “It looks lovely. Our Master Daohua looks good no matter what.”

Gu Jian glanced over at them, snorted, but in the end, he didn’t say something about Master Daohua the way he had about Xiao Yeyang.

In the kitchen, Caiju and Dongli were busy cooking while they craned their necks to watch the cozy and cheerful scene in the courtyard.

“The Little Prince really has turned his misfortune into a blessing.”

“Indeed, he cannot enjoy such leisure in Beijing.”

“Not just that, among all the princes and princesses in the palace, not one of them has the good fortune of the Little Prince. Just the filial piety he shows to the two old masters is unique in the eyes of the Emperor.”

“Exactly, the last time I went to Beijing to deliver medicine and fountain pens, I caught a glimpse of the Concubine Ma and her son from afar. Those two are really enjoying their moment in the sun, probably already plotting to take over the title of Prince Residence.”

“Hmph, as long as the Emperor favors the Little Prince, all their schemes will be in vain,” said Caiju resolutely.

As the distinctive and pleasant laughter of a young girl came from the courtyard, Caiju couldn’t help but sigh, “How lucky the Yan Family is to have formed a connection with the two old masters, especially the Yan Family’s eldest daughter, who became the old master’s only apprentice. An apprentice is almost like a child to them.”

“Isn’t that the truth…”
