Chapter 581 -532: Emotional Warming Up_1
Dong Yuanyao also heard the discussions of those people and, worried about Xiao Yeyang’s embarrassment, briefly excused herself to Daohua before she went inside to check on Sun Changze’s injuries.
Daohua tugged at Xiao Yeyang’s sleeve, “There are too many people here, and the air is foul. Let’s go outside and wait.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded and, accompanied by Daohua, left the medical clinic. Seeing a tea stall by the roadside, he led her over to it.
After sitting down, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, seemingly hesitant to speak.
Amused by her demeanor, Xiao Yeyang chuckled, “Are you pitying me, or feeling sorry for me?”
Upon hearing this, Daohua’s instant impulse to comfort him vanished, and she rolled her eyes, “What’s there to pity you for?”
At her words, Xiao Yeyang immediately laughed, his bright teeth gleaming and causing Daohua to lose focus a bit.
It was rare to see Daohua gazing at him so intently. Xiao Yeyang’s mood lightened as never before. He reached out and gently touched Daohua’s nose, teasing, “What do you think, is my face still presentable?”
Embarrassed by her own foolish behavior, Daohua gave Xiao Yeyang a sidelong glance and ignored him.
Xiao Yeyang, amused by her reaction, laughed quietly while covering his mouth with his fist.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang’s bright smile, Daohua’s own lips subtly curled, and she decided not to hold a grudge.
After laughing for a while, Xiao Yeyang looked at the passersby on the street, reined in his smile, and squinted his eyes, “Lately, I’ve received quite a few looks that pity me or sympathize with me.”
Daohua pursed her lips, “Those people just have nothing better to do after a full meal. Not to mention your status within the Imperial Family, even now, you have not reached manhood, and yet you’re already a fourth-rank Jinling Guard’s governor. How many can achieve what you have? If someone says you’re accomplished beyond your years, you’ve earned it. Pity you? They might as well pity themselves instead of prying into others’ affairs.”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Daohua, “Don’t you think my position as a fourth-rank governor smacks of nepotism? Though unwilling to admit it, I know that I have benefited from being part of the Imperial Family, and you too. Without your help, I might not have been able to claim any achievements. The reality is, I haven’t relied much on myself.”
Daohua disagreed, “I think you fully deserve it. You say you benefited from the Imperial Family’s status, but that’s because you chose the right family to be born into, winning over others from the get-go.”
“As for me, you earned my friendship on your own merits. If you hadn’t been good enough, I wouldn’t have befriended you. In the end, it’s your own excellence that has attracted someone equally excellent: me.”
“We’ve fostered each other’s success, haven’t we? Your achievements have also benefited my family.”
Despite the seriousness of the topic, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but be amused that Daohua was still praising herself at this time, leaving him torn between laughter and tears. At the same time, his mind also relaxed.
Daohua continued, “Perhaps in terms of status, you have some advantages over the average person, but there are plenty of members of the nobility, right? Why is it only you who stands out? Is it because the emperor favors you? Not necessarily. It’s because of your exceptional abilities.”
She said earnestly, patting Xiao Yeyang on the shoulder.
“Xiao Yeyang, you must believe in yourself. Everything you have achieved today isn’t random; it’s all thanks to your own capabilities,” she said.
“You shouldn’t care too much about what others say. We are ordinary people who eat grains, not silver loved by everyone. There will definitely be those who dislike us. We live our lives for ourselves, not according to other people’s words,” Daohua added.
Xiao Yeyang gazed at Daohua, speechless for a long while.
Daohua waved her hand in front of his face, tilting her chin up with a smug smile, “Shocked by my profound insights that struck your soul, huh?” freewebnσvel.cѳm
Xiao Yeyang gave her a look, “It’s a pity you’re not a scholar.”
Daohua snorted in response.
Xiao Yeyang laughed and poured her a cup of tea, “Alright, have some tea to soothe your throat.”

Meanwhile, at a fire-breathing street entertainment stall lining the street, Su Shiyu was watching with great interest.
