Chapter 244: Chapter 226, Asking for Gifts _1
As soon as Yan Wenkai heard that Daohua had spent so much time on his birthday gift, he immediately took an interest, “Where is it? Big sister, show me quickly.”
Daohua was reluctant: “Didn’t you just look down on it? I’ll just go back and change it right away.”
Yan Wenkai panicked, quickly reaching out and shaking Daohua’s arm: “Don’t, I was just talking nonsense just now, dear sister, please show me the embroidered pouch you made for me.”
As he spoke, a wronged expression appeared on his face.
“In our family, big brother and fifth brother have pouches embroidered by third sister, second brother has one from second sister, and third brother carries the one you made for him before, which although ugly, was still made by you. Just me, I’m the only one in the family using a pouch bought from outside.”
Seeing him looking so pitiful, Daohua hesitated: “But tomorrow is your birthday, and the pouch is supposed to be a gift for tomorrow…”
Yan Wenkai interrupted directly: “Ah, today or tomorrow, it makes no difference, I want to have a look at it now.” He then started shaking Daohua’s arm again.
Xiao Yeyang was sitting by and hadn’t said a word. He was also quite curious; truth be told, he had known this guy for so long, yet he had never seen her needlework.
Daohua pulled back her arm: “Alright, stop shaking, I’ll have Manman go get it then.”
Wang Manman got the hint and immediately turned to leave.
Before long, she returned with a light-grayish-blue pouch designed for men.
“Let me have a look quickly.”
Yan Wenkai hurriedly took the pouch and started inspecting it: “Eh, what animal is this?”
Xiao Yeyang also craned his neck to see, and upon seeing the naive and awkward panda on the pouch, he burst into laughter: “That’s an iron-eating beast, though its spirit really does resemble you.”
Daohua, slightly surprised to see that Xiao Yeyang recognized the panda, asked: “How do you know about this?”
Xiao Yeyang: “I saw it in the Bashu County Annals, but how about you, where did you learn about it? Don’t tell me it was from another storybook?”
Daohua gave him a ‘you’re so clever’ look and smiled: “Indeed, I saw it in a travel storybook.”
Xiao Yeyang: “…You really do read a lot of storybooks.”
Daohua shot back immediately: “Not as many as the books you read, even digging into local county annals.”
Meanwhile, with Wang Manman’s help, the pouch was turned over to reveal a majestic tiger on the other side.
“This one’s good, this one’s temperament is like mine!”
Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both looked over simultaneously, fell silent for a moment, then shook their heads in unison, saying with one voice: “The panda (iron-eating beast) suits you better.”
After saying this, the two of them instantly shared a knowing smile.
Yan Wenkai, however, was grumbling dissatisfiedly: “What kind of eyes do you two have, I obviously resemble a wild tiger more, forget it, I won’t talk to you anymore, I’m going to ask big brother and third brother.”
With that, he dashed off in a flash.
No sooner had he left the pavilion than he quickly turned back and carried away two pots of Mo Ju.
Seeing this, Daohua shook her head smilingly, turned around, and found Xiao Yeyang looking at her with an unspoken hesitation, immediately asking, puzzled: “What’s wrong with you?”
Xiao Yeyang: “…The birthday gift you prepared for your fourth brother is quite thoughtful.”
Daohua stated matter-of-factly: “He is my fourth brother, after all.”
Xiao Yeyang again seemed hesitant to speak.
Daohua frowned and looked at him: “What’s the matter with you? If you have something to say, just say it!”
