Chapter 174: Chapter 157, Two Lonely People_1
After having chicken soup and tea snacks, and feeling full, Daohua felt even less inclined to move. She cozied up in front of the stove, leisurely warming herself by the fire.
The sky was still a bit bright, and there was some time left before dinner.
Daohua could sit still, but the others were getting restless.
“Staying inside is pretty boring. Let’s go out for a walk again. I saw earlier that there seems to be a martial training ground in the Royal Palace. Shall we go take a look?”
Yan Wenkai said loudly.
Seeing that Daohua showed no interest whatsoever, Xiao Yeyang immediately waved his hand, “if you want to go, go by yourself.”
“Don’t be like that, it’s no fun going alone.” Saying this, Yan Wenkai hurriedly looked at his elder brother, hoping he would accompany him.
Unfortunately, Yan Wenxiu was a scholar of modest demeanor and had no interest in martial arts. He shrugged at Yan Wenkai, indicating that he didn’t want to go either.
Yan Wenkai, out of options, turned his gaze to his uncle.
Li Xingnian smiled, “I’ll go with you.” Besides, he was also quite curious to see what the Imperial Family’s martial training ground looked like.
Yan Wenkai immediately cheered up and pulled Li Xingnian out of the house.
Once the two left, the room quieted down.
Xiao Yeyang, uncharacteristically, initiated a conversation, “There are quite a few books in my study, do you want to go take a look?”
Daohua became interested, “Do you have storybooks?”
Yan Wenxiu immediately said, “Didn’t mother tell you not to read storybooks anymore?”
Daohua pouted, and the body she had begun to rise with slumped back down.
While she didn’t like being controlled too much, she still needed to give some face to her stepbrother when outside.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang felt amused and looked at Yan Wenxiu, “The storybooks here are all sorts of travel notes about customs and geography; it wouldn’t hurt to read them.”
Yan Wenxiu then didn’t say anything more.
Xiao Yeyang gave Daohua a look, motioning for her to hurry up and follow.
Daohua quickly stood up again and returned an eyebrow raise, as if to say ‘you really know how to play along’.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang felt amused and laughingly led them both to the study.
