Chapter 274 - 274 I'm Very Obedient

274 I’m Very Obedient

When Yu Youyao heard this, her eyes widened. “I won’t cry.” She pouted and snorted. “Cousin, don’t underestimate me. I’m also very powerful, so I won’t be bullied.”

She recounted everything that had happened at the flower festival.

“… Cao Yingxue used the words ‘the bereaved eldest daughter who was uneducated’ to attack me. Lu Mingyao sat on the side and watched the two sides fight. Yu Jianjia interfered, and the young misses of the various families present gloated. I knew that they were working together to harm me and ruin my reputation.”

At this point, Yu Youyao snorted. “I’m not afraid of them. Of course, I have to make a fuss so that others can see that I’m not easy to bully. In the future, no one will dare to criticize me with words like ‘The eldest daughter of a bereaved wife who was uneducated’…”

Her chattering was cheerful, like a magpie on a branch. To be honest, it was a little noisy, but no one felt annoyed.

Zhou Linghuai handed her a cup of tea.

Yu Youyao was feeling thirsty. She took a few sips of tea and looked at her cousin with her bright black eyes. Her expression said, “Am I very impressive? Please praise me.” Zhou Linghuai did not know whether to laugh or cry.

He gently rubbed the top of the little girl’s head. Her freshly washed hair was soft and smooth, emitting a faint jasmine fragrance. “Your eyes are red from crying, huh?”

Yu Youyao’s face turned red, and her eyes wandered. “Uh, I-I’m not really crying.” She stole a glance at her cousin and saw the corner of his mouth curl up slightly. He looked at her with a smile, and even his back straightened. “I-I learned this from Yu Jianjia, didn’t I? I-I pretended to be pitiful and weak at first, and shed a few innocent tears. I was a little aggrieved at first, so the others ignored me. This is called suppressing myself first.”

Zhou Linghuai only looked at her and said nothing.

Yu Youyao closed her legs and sat up straight again. “Cousin, this is how I cried, was wronged, pitied and had reason.” She glanced at her cousin from the corner of her eye. “Am I very smart!”

Zhou Linghuai sighed softly in his heart. “Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?”

Yu Youyao smiled. “Liu’er soaked them in chrysanthemum, goji berries and warm water for me. Then, she applied rose dew. It’s no longer uncomfortable!”

Zhou Linghuai nodded.

Yu Youyao tilted her head and held her cousin’s hand. “I remember what you said. I didn’t let anyone bully me. Cousin, don’t worry about me. I’m very obedient~”

I’m very obedient~

Zhou Linghuai placed these words on the tip of his tongue and chewed carefully. The sweet, soft, fragrant, and sticky taste spread to his heart.

His throat felt a little dry as he took a box of snacks from the small table. “The new peony cake is served today. Try it and see if you like it.”

At this time, the peony flowers were blooming.

The little girl liked to eat snacks, so he had deliberately taken a detour to buy them from a store to make her happy.

As soon as she heard that there was food, Yu Youyao’s stomach growled.

Zhou Linghuai frowned. “You didn’t eat at the flower festival?”

The banquet was held late and they only started eating at 1pm. The main family would prepare many snacks to avoid starving the guests.

Yu Youyao covered her stomach to stop it from growling. She pouted and complained, “I ate some medicinal cuisine when I left this morning. I didn’t even have time to eat any snacks at the flower festival. I’m about to starve to death.” As she spoke, she quickly took the box of snacks from her cousin. “Thank you, Cousin. You’re the best!”

Zhou Linghuai’s lips curled up slightly.

As soon as she unwrapped the layer of oil paper, Yu Youyao could smell the fragrant and strong oil mixed with the fragrance of the fresh and sweet peony flowers. She couldn’t help but sniffle and swallow her saliva. Even removing the oil paper became much faster.

When the golden peony cakes appeared in front of her, Yu Youyao’s eyes widened.

“The peony cake must be delicious.” She couldn’t wait to take a handkerchief, pick up a piece of peony cake, and bring it to her cousin’s lips. “Cousin, try it first.”

The little girl looked at the peony cake eagerly. She was clearly so hungry that she couldn’t move her eyes away, but she still remembered to ask him to eat it first. Zhou Linghuai found it funny and was about to refuse…

“You can’t refuse me. I just want to share them with you and let you try the cake I’ve tasted.” Yu Youyao moved the peony cake closer to her cousin’s lips.

How could he refuse? Zhou Linghuai opened his mouth and took a bite. The peony cake, which was already on his lips, melted in his mouth with the fresh and sweet peony filling. However, it melted in his mouth and did not stick to his teeth. His mouth was filled with sweetness and softness, and he was surprised to find it delicious.

He recalled the little girl’s words just now—

I just want to share them with you and let you try the cake I’ve tasted!

The taste that the little girl had eaten was especially sweet.

Whether it was the cherries she had eaten in the past or the candy she had eaten later.

The thin and crispy skin cracked in her cousin’s mouth. The flower filling in the center was wrapped in peony paste. Yu Youyao, who was looking at the beautiful cakes and craving them, immediately widened her eyes. She couldn’t be bothered to ask her cousin if it was delicious and quickly put the peony cake into her mouth.

She bit down—

Oh, it was so delicious that she cried!

What kind of divine cake was this? How could it be so delicious?!

“Cousin, you…” Before Zhou Linghuai could stop her, he watched helplessly as the little girl took a bite of his unfinished peony cake.

Instantly, his breathing stopped, and the flower cake choked in his throat. His face turned red to the tips of his ears, and he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and cough.

“C-cousin.” Yu Youyao was shocked. She stuffed the remaining peony cake into her mouth and chewed hard a few times. However, she swallowed hard and asked vaguely, “What’s wrong?”

He was better off with a mouthful of flowers!

She was greedy. No wonder Old Madam Yu kept calling her a little piglet.

However, Zhou Linghuai was both angry and amused. He suppressed the cough in his throat. “I’m fine. I just accidentally choked.”

Yu Youyao quickly poured a cup of warm tea. Just as Zhou Linghuai was about to reach out to take it, the little girl approached him and brought the tea to his lips. “Cousin, drink some water. After drinking it, your throat won’t feel uncomfortable anymore.”

Zhou Linghuai did not even have a chance to refuse.

After drinking a cup of tea, Zhou Linghuai’s throat felt a little better, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Yu Youyao had an expression that said, “I really don’t know what to do with you.” She put down her teacup helplessly and naturally reached out to smooth her cousin’s back. “Are you feeling better?”
