The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135: Chapter 121, Mountain Climbing Race_1

After tasting the barbecued meat seasoned with spices grown in Daohua’s space, everyone found that the barbecue that followed seemed not as delicious. They ate a bit perfunctorily and soon lost interest.

“Next time we have this barbecue, remember to bring more of the seasoning you used before.” Xiao Yeyang and Daohua sat side by side on the grass, whispering back and forth.

Daohua nodded, “Sure! But do you have the time? I’ve heard that the Academy has a lot of classes. With studies in both literature and martial arts like you have, do you really have time to come out and play?” _{freёwebnovel.com}

Xiao Yeyang’s expression fell, and he let out a deep sigh.

Although a member of the Imperial Family, even someone like him had his troubles. Not to mention the rest, their academic load was far heavier than that of ordinary families!

It was a blessing that he wasn’t a Prince, just the son of a Prince, otherwise, he would have had even more to learn.

The reason he didn’t want to return to Beijing, apart from not wanting to see some people, was an important one: once he returned, he would have to attend classes and study with the Princes.

Although life at Wangyue Academy was somewhat more relaxed, this was only because there was less supervision. He still had to do the necessary coursework. From time to time, the teacher guiding him had to report his progress to his imperial uncle.

If his grades slipped, then he would face the fate of being sent back to Beijing.

Alas, better not think about it. The thought was filled with nothing but sorrowful tears.

“I can’t play during normal days, but I still can during holidays!”

Daohua tilted her head, “But after the Double Ninth Festival, until the New Year, it seems there aren’t many holidays left.”

Xiao Yeyang countered, “How can there not be? What about Winter Solstice and Laba Festival?”

“…” Daohua fell silent, “Fine then!”

Xiao Yeyang squinted at Daohua, “What’s with that attitude? Don’t you want to hang out with me?”

Daohua raised her paw, making a swearing gesture, “I swear, absolutely not.” Her family was still not close enough to Xiao Yeyang, how could they possibly push him away?

To flatter…

Thinking of this word, Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang. This guy, it seemed he had never asserted his status in front of her.

Well… owing a life-saving debt did have its uses.

Daohua cheerfully swung her legs. Her family’s relationship with Xiao Yeyang was quite good now.

All being children, they gathered to play during holidays without involving the adults, meaning there were no complicated interests at play. This way, she didn’t have to bend over backwards to please him, or eagerly flatter him. They could just play and have fun with ease.

After sitting for a while, Xiao Yeyang grew bored again. He looked at the sky and felt it was still early, so he turned to Daohua and said, “The view from the peak of Xiangxia Mountain is second to none. Don’t you want to go up and see?”

Daohua glanced at the mountain peak and estimated the distance, hesitating, “It would take quite some time to climb up, wouldn’t it?”

Xiao Yeyang: “If we climb fast, half an hour is enough, and it takes even less time to come down.”

Knowing that Daohua was worried about Madam Zhou’s schedule, it was now the fourth quarter of the afternoon (2:00 PM). It would take until the end of the 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM period to get back from the mountain top.

After thinking it over, Xiao Yeyang called Zhou Chengye over and asked him to inquire with Madam Zhou about when they planned to leave.

Zhou Chengye quickly found out the information: “Little Prince, we can go to the mountain top to have a look. Mother said since it’s rare for them to come out and have fun, they won’t leave until 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM.”
