"Ssss~"
Daohua took a sip of tea and was immediately hit with a pungent spiciness, causing her to shiver. She grabbed the teapot to take a whiff and her face fell at once, "This is alcohol!"
She had drunk too hastily just now and took a rather large gulp; now her throat and stomach felt like they were on fire.
"What’s Xiao Yeyang thinking, putting wine in a teapot?"
Daohua found the teapot once more and drank two cups of tea before her thirst was quenched.
After finishing the tea, Daohua noticed several pieces of drawing paper on the desk and walked over.
Seeing that the paper bore her portrait, a thick smile quickly spread across Daohua’s face as she carefully flipped through them one by one.
After a while, Daohua started to feel dizzy, so she shook her head.
During the shake, she caught sight of a finely bound sketchbook on the neighboring bookshelf and thought it was another collection of paintings Xiao Yeyang made for her. Overjoyed, she quickly walked over to it.
Xiao Yeyang returned to the room just in time to see Daohua holding the sketchbook in her hands.
At this sight, Xiao Yeyang’s complexion changed in fright, and he quickly called out to Daohua. As she turned her head, he hurried over, set down the glass jar he was holding, and then swiftly snatched the sketchbook from her hands.
"What are you doing?" Daohua asked in surprise, looking at Xiao Yeyang.
Hiding the sketchbook behind him and with an awkward expression, Xiao Yeyang laughed sheepishly to change the subject, "Hey, I brought you the fireflies, take a look."
Daohua glanced at the glass jar, but because there were candles lit in the room, the fireflies’ glow seemed dulled and not very impressive. She looked away after a few moments.
"Fireflies are prettier outside; there’s no rush. Let me take a look at the sketchbook you made for me first."
Xiao Yeyang’s face grew stiff and awkward, "I haven’t finished it yet; you can see it another time."
Daohua insisted, "Let me see as far as you’ve painted."
