The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285: Chapter 266, Better Again_1

On the deck, Daohua chatted and laughed with everyone for a while. Seeing her fourth brother teaching two cousins how to use a telescope to look at the distant scenery, and her second uncle and three cousins talking with her eldest brother, she looked around and realized there was no sign of Xiao Yeyang.

“Why are you sitting here alone?”

Daohua looked around and found Xiao Yeyang sitting by himself at the stern, drinking tea. Observing him staring blankly at the distant river, and recalling his family background, she suddenly felt sorry for him.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua and, remembering how she cherished the whip Dong Yuanxuan had given her, didn’t feel like talking to her. Without saying anything, he turned his head away again.

Seeing him act this way, Daohua was somewhat puzzled, not understanding what was making him sulk again. However, she didn’t mind; she laughed and sat down opposite him, saw the teapot on the table, and poured herself a cup of tea without asking.

“This smells so good, what kind of tea is this?” Daohua took a deep breath of the fragrant tea aroma, took a sip, savored it for a while, and nodded, “Crisp, sweet, and richly fragrant, delicious!” she said, immediately taking a big gulp.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang felt a bit better: “This is Wuyi Rock Tea. If you like it, I can have Defu get some for you.”

Without any politeness, Daohua nodded repeatedly: “Oh, yes, please!”

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and many local delicacies couldn’t be circulated easily, only the powerful elite could get their hands on famous products from various places; evidently, the Yan Family didn’t have the capability yet.

Seeing how at ease she was, Xiao Yeyang felt even better and took a sip from his teacup as well.

Behind them, Defu, seeing his master’s mood improve, silently smiled and quietly withdrew.

Xiao Yeyang noticed Daohua sipping tea in small gulps, looking fully content, and after thinking for a moment, he still couldn’t resist and pretended to say casually, “The way you used that whip just now wasn’t bad.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua immediately beamed with a smile, her eyes curving.

Xiao Yeyang: “… You seem to really like the whip Yuanxuan gave you?”

Without thinking much, Daohua nodded and smiled, “That whip is quite handy and feels smooth to wield.” she said, then paused, “It’s just that it’s a bit too precious.”

Xiao Yeyang fell silent: “If you find it too valuable, then it’s best to avoid using it in the future, so as not to attract petty criminals.”

Daohua’s face showed agreement, and she nodded: “That’s what I was thinking. One shouldn’t flaunt riches! Besides, the whip is inlaid with gold threads, too luxurious; I wouldn’t bear to use it on the ground.”

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but lift the corners of his mouth slightly: “Well… I do have quite a few whips. I’ll send you one later.”

Daohua immediately declined: “No need, I can buy one myself. After all, whips can be found everywhere.”

Xiao Yeyang paused: “Why go through such trouble? The quality of the whips outside can’t possibly match mine. Besides, it’s just a whip; you don’t need to be so courteous with me, do you?”

Daohua tilted her head in thought, then cheerfully replied: “That’s true!”

Seeing her agree, Xiao Yeyang’s slight discomfort completely vanished, and he drank his tea a little faster than before.

An hour and a half later, they arrived at Wuhua Mountain.

“Do you want to have something to eat here before going back?” Xiao Yeyang asked Daohua.

Daohua shook her head: “No need, we have snacks on board, and nobody is really hungry right now.”

Yan Wenxiu also nodded along.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, then at the others: “Alright then, I know you’re eager to get home, so I won’t insist.” Saying this, he was about to leave the ship.

“Wait.”

Daohua stopped him.

Xiao Yeyang turned back: “Is there something else?”

Daohua: “During this time, you can practice martial arts, but don’t overdo it, nor exert yourself too much. You’ve just recovered from an illness, and though you’re better, your body is still weak. You need to take care to nourish it for a while. Once I get home, I’ll send over some food for you; remember to eat light, okay?”
