Chapter 254: Chapter 236, Good Deed_1
Because of the time constraints, Daohua and her group didn’t stay long and soon prepared to head back home.
“When will these sunflower seeds be ready to harvest?” Xiao Yeyang suddenly asked before leaving.
Daohua was puzzled, “Why do you ask that?”
Xiao Yeyang: “…These sunflowers were your birthday gift to me, so of course, I should come to collect them.”
Daohua was taken aback.
Indeed, she had said before that this field of sunflowers was a gift to Xiao Yeyang. However, as the wealthy Little Prince, shouldn’t his attention be on the beauty of the field, rather than the sunflower seeds?
She had been planning to sell those seeds later!
Seeing her reaction, Xiao Yeyang immediately guessed her thoughts and said with displeasure, “What, you plan to give half of the gift and keep the other half for yourself?”
Daohua quickly shook her head in denial: “Not at all, as soon as the sunflowers mature, I will send someone to tell you.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang finally showed a satisfied expression.
The gift given to him would naturally have to be entirely and completely taken back.
When leaving, Xiao Yeyang had Dafu pick several sunflower blossoms, saying he wanted to take them back for display in a vase.
Seeing this, Dong Yuanxuan and several others were also quite tempted. However, before they could speak up, Xiao Yeyang had already flatly refused them: “This is my birthday present, do you feel no shame in asking for it?”
A few plants per person—with more than ten people present, how many flowers would that destroy?
Dong Yuanxuan and the others: “…”
A hundred mu of sunflowers, they would have no qualms about asking for them!
Dong Yuanyao pouted and whispered to Su Shiyu, “I didn’t expect the Little Prince to be such a miser.”
Su Shiyu actually found this understandable: “If the Little Prince doesn’t want everyone picking the flowers, that can only mean he cares about the gift. Think about it, if you received a gift that matched your heart’s desire, would you be willing to share it with others?”
Dong Yuanyao immediately smiled and said, “I’d forget about sharing, but I’d still like to have a look.”
Soon after, the group began the journey back.
…
At the gates of Xingzhou City, except for Zhou Jingwan, everyone else still had to return to Wuhua Mountain.
Daohua received two delicate wooden boxes from Xiaoliu, who had returned to the Yan Residence a bit earlier. These were simplified makeup boxes modeled after modern ones.
“These are the gifts I’m giving as a first meeting to the two sisters.”
Dong Yuanyao, who had been thinking about lipstick, heard Daohua’s words, swiftly smiled, took the boxes, and opened them.
The makeup box was three-tiered, with the top layer containing various types of makeup brushes, the middle layer holding twelve colors of lipstick, and the bottom layer storing cream and face powder among other things.
“All this?”
Dong Yuanyao’s face brightened with joy; the box contained everything needed for daily makeup.
Zhou Jingwan stood by and craned her neck to look inside. Seeing that the contents were not as many as those Daohua had given her, her face instantly beamed with delight.
Indeed, she was Daohua’s best friend.
Su Shiyu, not having expected to receive a gift herself, smiled shyly and modestly accepted the makeup box from Daohua’s hand: “Thank you, Sister Yan!”
Daohua shook her head with a smile, “Don’t mention it, as long as the two sisters like it, that’s all that matters.”
“I do like it!” Dong Yuanyao promptly chimed in, then looked at Daohua somewhat sheepishly, “Thank you for this.”
At this moment, Yan Wenkai’s urging voice arrived: “Are we good to go? If we don’t leave now, it’ll be getting dark.”
Daohua immediately responded, “All set.” Then, looking towards Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu, “Take care, sisters. Next time you have the chance, be sure to come visit my house.”
Dong Yuanyao and Su Shiyu both nodded quickly, bidding each other farewell before heading towards Dong Yuanxuan and the others, carrying their makeup boxes.
After the two had left, Xiao Yeyang, who had been standing aside, huffed discontentedly and glanced at Daohua, “I thought you had only prepared a gift for me today.”
Daohua: “Indeed, it was only you. Those two makeup boxes had been prepared by me after our last horse ride; I wanted to give them to Sisters Dong and Su much earlier. It’s just that there hadn’t been a chance until now.”
Hearing that, Xiao Yeyang’s expression softened somewhat, but then he felt it beneath him as a grown man to quibble over such trivial matters, which left him feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
