Chapter 14: The Third Miss's Gift

  Yue Kang let Wang Fu go back and followed Xi Er to Third Miss's room.

  "Dandan, what's the matter with finding your brother-in-law?" Yue Kang walked into the third miss's room and asked. He really didn't know why his little sister-in-law, who had always looked at him with disapproval, suddenly wanted to find him and even let him come to her room. Could it be that she has developed feelings for me over time?

  The little girl frowned and said, "From now on, please call me Miao Dan. If you call me randomly again, I'll tear your mouth apart."

  "Alright, Dandan I know, speak up what's going on, are you missing your brother-in-law after not seeing him for two days? Dandan, you absolutely cannot have such thoughts." Yue Kang teased. But in his heart, he was on guard, wondering if this little girl had come up with another crooked idea to deal with him.

  "Big yellow, someone wants to bully sister." Bai Miaodan said, ignoring Yue Kang and patting the snake bag at her waist.

  The big yellow snake poked its head out of the snake bag all of a sudden, and its round eyes stared at Yue Kang tightly.

  Yue Kang's eyes sparkled, and he quickly suppressed the wicked smile on his face. He said seriously: "Miao Dan, what's up? We're all family, if you need my help, just say so." Yue Kang emphasized the phrase "we're all family" to hint to Bai Miao Dan that since they are family, she shouldn't let the snake bite him again.

  Bai Miao Dan smiled with satisfaction, thinking that when she looked for her sister a few days ago, her sister said that the thief in her heart wasn't as promiscuous or bad as she thought, at least not to the point of sharing a bed with her. Her hatred for Yue Kang slightly decreased, and she wouldn't go out of her way to cause him trouble everywhere.

  "Last time in the garden, you helped me out. I, Bai Miao Dan, don't want to owe anyone a favor. Today, I came to find you to return that favor. Here, I have a set of Wen Fang Si Bao (scholar's four treasures), which my elder sister brought back from Beijing last time. My sister said these items are priceless even in the capital city. So, I'll give them to you." Bai Miao Dan said, while Da Yan Jing's big glasses sparkled as if he was thinking of something.

  Is there such a good thing? The little girl compromised with herself so quickly? "This is not very good, since it was given by my sister, how dare I accept it. Last time I just happened to pass by, and that poem wasn't written by me either. I really can't accept this!"

  Bai Miao said, "I know that the favor you showed me last time is not enough for me to give you such a valuable gift. Now I have prepared brushes and ink, so just help me write two more poems and we'll be even."

  Xie had already spread out the paper and ground the ink.

  "Please!"

  "This wonderful pill! The poem last time was not written by me, I also picked up that paper from the courtyard, how could I write poetry?! You also know that I don't even recognize a few big characters." Relying on thinking to let me help you write poetry is impossible, Yue Kang made up his mind and resolutely refused to write.

  "Really won't?" asked Bai Miao Dan.

  "It really won't." Yue Kang said with a serious face.

  "Alright! Since you can't compose poetry, that last poem must have been stolen from me. You say I stole your things, what should I do?" Bai Miandan smiled evilly, her eyes narrowing into a slit.

  "You..." Yue Kang was so angry he wanted to slap them both, it's really a case of "a dog biting Lu Dongbin".

  "What's wrong with me, I'm just a small snake, oh right, my little snake can still bite people." The girl had slender white fingers, and when she smiled, there were two small dimples, but in Yue Kang's eyes, those two small dimples were full of traps.

  "A family affair, isn't it just writing two poems? I'll write them now." Yue Kang gritted his teeth in anger.

  "I may not be able to write poetry myself, but I can still tell the good from the bad. Don't think you can just scribble two poems and fool me!" Bai Miao Xi felt refreshed and invigorated.

  Yue Kang clenched his teeth and I endured, picking up the brush and writing vigorously.

  Bai Miao Dan and Xi Er exchanged a glance, their eyes gleaming with pride.

  "Hmm, not bad, you passed, but your handwriting is too sloppy, you need to work harder on that in the future." Bai Miaodan spoke fluently, like a teacher commenting on a student's essay.

  Yue Kang directly ignored her, glared at Bai Miao Dan, picked up the exquisitely packaged stationery on the table and was about to leave.

  Yue Kang's heart was set on leaving as quickly as possible, like an arrow shot from a bow.

  "What's going on, you think you can just leave like that? I gave you four things, but your three poems can only make up for three of them. You still owe me compensation for one thing." Bai Miaodan blocked Yue Kang who was about to go out the door.

  Ah! Today's weather is so fine and clear, don't get angry, absolutely don't get angry, endure it, Uncle Yue. What else can you do if you can't endure it? Yue Kang strongly warned himself.

  "I don't want these things anymore, is that okay?" Yue Kang was at a loss when facing this young girl, he couldn't hit or scold her, and she would often bite people like a snake.

  "No way! Actually, I know that your brother-in-law still likes the gift I gave to your sister. You think so too, right?" said Bai Miaodan.

  "Miaodan, you're really too considerate of others!" Yue Kang's face twisted in anger when he said the word "too". "Speak! What else do you want me to do?"

  "In a few days, our academy will hold a flower appreciation meeting, and each student is required to bring one person. My request is for you to accompany me."

  "Got it." His eyes once again gazed at Bai Miao Dan's small chest, and he reluctantly left.

  "Hahaha......" Bai Miaodan and Xi'er, two women, were laughing wildly in the room.

  "Miss, did you see that? The thief was shaking with rage when he was writing, but didn't dare to make a move. Miss, if you had stopped him from leaving, his face would have been blacker than the bottom of a pot! Haha...!" Xi'er laughed for a long time and said, "This way, Miss, you won't have to worry about being forced to write poetry by your elder sister when she returns, and the matter of attending the flower appreciation meeting is also settled. It's really a case of killing two birds with one stone!"

  "Hmph, it's a must... Hehe, you flower thief who was hated at the flower appreciation meeting, just pray to heaven that you won't make a fool of yourself!" Bai Miaodan said with a smug face.

  What the heck is this stuff from Beijing that cost a fortune, it's all just roadside junk. Yue Kang opened the package and scolded non-stop, damn it, they just used good packaging to cheat me. I thought I was getting top-notch stationery for a few poems, but who knew what was inside was worth only a few cents.

  At the dinner table, Yue Kang and Bai Miao sat opposite each other. Today, Bai Miao wore a light blue dress that outlined her slender neck and visible collarbone, with a simple hair bun adorned with a few full and round pearls scattered among her raven-black hair, making it appear even more lustrous and shiny. Her beautiful eyes sparkled as she glanced around, exuding elegance and refinement, like a pure and lovely lotus flower.

  It was just her silence that overshadowed all of her brilliance.

  Yue Xiang really wanted to remove her veil, but no matter what Bai Miao Xi allowed or not, he didn't have the courage to do so, because he was truly afraid of seeing a destroyed face, and this vague feeling might be a good thing.

  Bai Miao used to cover her face with a veil, so when eating, she would only use one hand to slightly lift the edge from below and slowly send food into her mouth. She ate very elegantly and slowly, and generally spoke little while eating.

  Yue Kang finished his meal and put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, gazing at Bai Miao Xi who was eating quietly, a hint of sourness in his heart, as if he was saying to himself or to Bai Miao Xi.

  "There is an animal called the eagle, it is the bird with the longest lifespan in the animal kingdom, it has a pair of wings that soar through the sky and earth, it is free and at ease, its lifespan can reach 70 years old. To live such a long life, it must make a difficult but important decision when it is 40 years old."

  "When an eagle reaches 40 years old, its claws begin to age and can no longer effectively grasp prey, its beak becomes long and wide, almost touching the chest. Its wings also become very heavy because the feathers have become thick and dense, making flight extremely laborious."

  Yue Kang said: Here, Bai Miao Xi's eyes were dull and colorless, and eating also became much slower.
