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?”

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.

Yan Wenkai stood by her side, smiling as he watched Su Shiyu’s look of astonishment, and seeing her lips part in surprise, he couldn’t help but offer her a stick of candied haw.

Seeing the candied haw suddenly appear in her line of sight, Su Shiyu’s face colored with shyness. She hesitated for a moment but then lowered her head and took a bite.

Yan Wenkai saw Su Shiyu about to bite off an entire candied hawthorn, and he quickly stopped her, saying, “Eat slowly, your mouth isn’t that big, be careful not to choke, and I’m holding it for you, aren’t you reassured yet?”

Without heeding his words, Su Shiyu ate the entire candied hawthorn in one go.

Seeing Su Shiyu’s cheeks puffing in and out, Yan Wenkai couldn’t help but blurt out, “Little Sister Su, you’re truly endearing.”

Upon hearing this, Su Shiyu’s face turned red, and she wanted to retort, but with her mouth full, she could only glare at him with narrowed eyes.

Yan Wenkai chuckled ‘heh heh’, took another candied hawthorn and said while eating, “I never found these things tasty before, but eating them with you today somehow makes them good. Next time we go out, I’ll buy you some more, okay?”

Su Shiyu glanced at the single remaining candied hawthorn and her eyes and brows arched.

After watching two fire-breathing acts, Yan Wenkai took Su Shiyu’s hand and left, “Let’s go, there’s a sword-swallowing act ahead, let’s check that out.”

Compliantly, Su Shiyu allowed Yan Wenkai to pull her along, her gaze falling on their clasped hands, her face coloring slightly.

Soon, they arrived at the sword-swallowing show.

Watching a man slowly swallowing a long sword down his throat, Su Shiyu felt a bit frightened and involuntarily leaned closer to Yan Wenkai.

Yan Wenkai comforted her when he saw her reaction, “Don’t be scared, these are all fake.”

Su Shiyu nodded her head.

Just then, a scream erupted from the crowd.

No one knew what went wrong, but the sword-swallower’s mouth started bleeding profusely.

Su Shiyu was startled by the sight of the blood.

Yan Wenkai quickly covered Su Shiyu’s eyes with his hand and wrapped his other arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his embrace. As the crowd became agitated, he immediately protected her and left the area.

Only when they reached a less crowded spot did Yan Wenkai stop.

Feeling safe, Su Shiyu sighed with relief. When she relaxed, she realized that Yan Wenkai’s hand was tightly holding hers and his other arm was around her shoulders, her entire body leaning into his embrace, causing her cheeks and ears to blush.

Su Shiyu struggled slightly and said softly, “Fourth Brother, you can let go of me now.”

Yan Wenkai froze for a moment, then let go of his hands. As he felt her leave his arms, a slight sense of loss washed over him, but seeing Su Shiyu’s discomfort, he quickly chuckled and changed the subject, “The lantern festival is indeed beautiful, but there are just too many people. Accidents can easily happen if you’re not careful.”

Su Shiyu nodded.

Yan Wenkai added, “In the future, try to avoid places like this as much as possible. If you really want to go out, let me know in advance. With my protection, you have nothing to be afraid of.”

Su Shiyu glanced at him and said, “Why does it have to be you? I can call my elder brother as well, can’t I?”

Yan Wenkai snorted, “Forget it, your brother is too careless. I won’t feel at ease.”

Hearing this, Su Shiyu felt a bit embarrassed, while Mo Shu and Mo Hua, the two maids accompanying her, couldn’t resist giggling.

Yan Wenkai saw them and scratched the back of his head with a smile, “What are you laughing at?”

Seeing his goofy expression, Su Shiyu was somewhat speechless, she glared at the two maids and said, “We’ve been out for a good while now, we should head back.”

“That’s fine.”

Yan Wenkai nodded and then naturally took Su Shiyu’s hand.

Su Shiyu looked at him and did not refuse.
