Chapter 605: Chapter 554, Taohua is Brilliant_2
Daohua looked around quickly and hastily tucked the note away.
Probably spooked by the incident with her two older brothers, her mother watched her even closer than before. On the journey back to the estate from the dock yesterday, Xiao Yeyang didn’t find an opportunity to speak with her.
Once Daohua returned to her own courtyard, she couldn’t wait to open the note, only to be disappointed.
The note had nothing on it, except for the words “The peach blossoms have bloomed.”
Daohua clicked her tongue in disappointment and slipped the note into the romance novel she was flipping through. In this life and her previous one, she had never received a love letter, and to think she had gotten her hopes up just moments ago.
It wasn’t until the Zhou family’s father and son, along with Young Madam Zhou, had left the Yan Family that Daohua managed to tell Madam Li she wanted to go to Taohua Village.
“Mother, the peach blossoms at my master’s place have bloomed, and I want to collect some to brew wine.”
Visiting one’s elders was a matter of propriety, so Madam Li did not object, only reminding her, “Come back early.”
…
Taohua Village.
At the end of February, Taohua Mountain’s peach blossoms were ablaze with color, the sea of flowers even from afar filled one’s heart with joy and pleasure.
After Daohua arrived, she saw the messenger hawk fly away, smiled, and then, leaning on Granny Gu and accompanied by Gu Jian, she strolled down the mountain to enjoy the spring scenery.
Usually, Xiao Yeyang would hurry over on the day Daohua arrived, but this time, Daohua had been there for two days and still hadn’t seen Xiao Yeyang.
Daohua stood atop Taohua Mountain, looking down and furrowing her brows. Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers seemed to be getting busier and busier.
Wang Manman came over with a basket, “Miss, shall we start picking the peach blossoms?”
Daohua nodded, “Let’s begin.”
When Xiao Yeyang arrived, Daohua had just finished picking several baskets of peach blossoms and was waiting for Wang Manman to bring new baskets. She took the opportunity to rest beneath a peach tree halfway up the mountain.
A gentle breeze rustled through, and peach blossoms tumbled with the wind.
Seeing Daohua beneath the tree with her eyes closed, looking utterly relaxed and content, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but smile. He picked a peach blossom, silently approached her, crouched down, and gently swept the blossom across Daohua’s nose.

Feeling an itch on her nose, Daohua fluttered her lashes, waved her hand casually, turned her head slightly, and continued to keep her eyes closed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang silently chuckled and reached out with the peach blossom once more.
Just as the peach blossom touched Daohua’s nose, she swiftly grabbed it and said, “Xiao Yeyang, I knew it was you causing trouble.”
Gazing into Daohua’s bright and slightly triumphant eyes, Xiao Yeyang pressed his lips together in a smile and with his free hand, flicked her forehead lightly.
“Xiao Yeyang!”
Daohua’s eyes widened as she pulled at Xiao Yeyang’s hand.
She wanted to use his strength to stand up, but as Xiao Yeyang was crouching, her pull ended up dragging him towards herself.
Xiao Yeyang hadn’t anticipated this and was caught off-guard, tumbling onto her.
“Ouch!”
Both of them fell to the ground together, with Daohua at the bottom.
“Are you alright?”
Xiao Yeyang quickly propped up on his arms, shifting off the body that was pressing down on Daohua.
Daohua grimaced, “Xiao Yeyang, how can you be so heavy?”
Looking down at Daohua lying between his arms, Xiao Yeyang’s gaze deepened, “…You were the one who pulled me.”
Daohua glared, “Would I have grabbed your hand if you hadn’t hit me?”
After speaking, she realized the current posture between her and Xiao Yeyang was somewhat awkward, she reached out to pat his arm, “Move away, I want to get up.”
Xiao Yeyang said, “Wait a sec,” as his head slowly lowered.
Watching Xiao Yeyang’s face draw increasingly closer, Daohua’s eyes grew wider and wider.
At that moment, her heart pounded so hard that she forgot to push him away.
When both could feel each other’s breath, Daohua subconsciously closed her eyes.
The scene she had imagined did not occur; after a while, Daohua slowly opened her eyes and met Xiao Yeyang’s teasing gaze, her eyes moved down to see a leaf tucked between his lips.
Xiao Yeyang spat out the leaf, then looked at Daohua with smiling eyes, “Why did you close your eyes just now?”
Daohua’s ears turned red at the speed of light, and with a push of her hands, she shoved Xiao Yeyang away, scramble to her feet in a flustered and awkward manner.
Even though Xiao Yeyang was pushed to the ground, he didn’t mind; instead, he laughed heartily.
Hearing his laughter, Daohua was extremely embarrassed and annoyed, and turned around to glare at Xiao Yeyang, “Xiao Yeyang, you’re teasing me!” It was just a leaf; couldn’t he have taken it with his hands? He did that on purpose.
The more Daohua thought about it, the angrier she became. She looked around, spotted a broken branch on the ground, picked it up, and brandished it at Xiao Yeyang.
Seeing Daohua was really upset, Xiao Yeyang quickly scrambled up and started to dodge nimbly.
“What are you hitting people for?”
“You’re asking for it.”
“Yan Yiyi, this behavior of hitting people whenever you feel like it is very bad, you need to change that.”
“Have you ever seen me hit anyone else? Why don’t you look for the reasons in yourself?”
“I’m really wronged here, I kindly helped you remove the leaf from your head, and you hit me, I’m truly wronged.”
“Why didn’t you use your hand, you were clearly teasing me.”
“But I didn’t ask you to close your eyes, did I?”
At these words, Daohua grew even more furious, and with the branch in hand, she chased Xiao Yeyang halfway across Taohua Mountain.
At the mountain peak, Granny Gu and Gu Jian watched the two children chasing and playing around the hillside, their faces and eyes filled with smiles.
“Cough cough~”
After standing for a while, Granny Gu started to cough.
Immediately, Gu Jian looked over with concern, “Sis, it’s windy outside, let’s go back inside.”
Granny Gu shook her head, “I want to watch the children a bit more, who knows if I’ll still have the chance to see these bright Taohua blossoms next year?”
Gu Jian’s expression was tinged with sorrow, but he forced a smile, “You used to be able to, and this past year your health has improved quite a bit. I believe it will get even better.”
Granny Gu smiled and said nothing. She was aware of her own health. Although she had been eating more than in previous years, it could not stop her body from continuing to weaken.
In her youth, her body had suffered too much damage. Living up to now was already a miracle.
After a while, Granny Gu asked, “Are the things buried with our parents at the old house still there?”
Gu Jian nodded, “They’re still there.”
Granny Gu said, “Go get them. I want to give them to the kids.”
