"Yan... Mr. Yan! Let's go look somewhere else!" Xia Xihe interrupted him.
"Oh..." Before Yan Yulong could respond, Xia Xihe pulled him away as if they were flying.
Sigh... He knew this guy wouldn't say anything normal. How could he have had any hope for someone like him? He was so naive! Xia Xihe scolded herself in her heart.
As Xia Xihe dragged him past an orchard, several women had set up a small stall by the roadside, selling freshly squeezed juice.
"Do you want to drink something?" Yan Yulong pulled Xia Xihe back.
"Uh, no need..."
"Auntie, give me a cup of fresh orange juice and apple juice," Yan Yulong said, taking the initiative. Xia Xihe had no choice but to stand aside and wait.
One of the women said, "It'll be ready soon," and then quickly cut up several fresh oranges and apples, putting them into the juicer. Yan Yulong stared at half an apple on the table, lost in thought.
Seeing that familiar look of contemplation on his face, Xia Xihe began to feel a bad premonition: he wouldn't be thinking of something inappropriate again, would he?
Sure enough, Yan Yulong revealed that harmlessly handsome smile again and pointed at the apple:
"Look, doesn't this apple look like..."
"Mr. Yan!!" Xia Xihe could almost guess what he was about to say and hurriedly shouted to stop him.
"What? I haven't said anything yet. Why are you so nervous?"
"You... you don't need to say it. I don't think it looks like that at all," Xia Xihe said, flustered and embarrassed.
"Really? I think this apple looks quite heart-shaped."
"Heart-shaped?" Xia Xihe was taken aback.
"Yeah, doesn't this half-cut apple look like a little heart?" Yan Yulong picked up the apple with a smile, while the woman next to them chuckled and said, "This young man is really romantic."
"A heart shape... it seems... it does look a bit like one..." It seemed she had misunderstood his intentions; Xia Xihe quickly changed her words. Yan Yulong's eyes twinkled mischievously as he smiled.
"Yeah, otherwise what do you think it is?"
"......>_<……"
The two then arrived at the Butterfly Exhibition Hall, where flowers were in full bloom and colorful butterflies fluttered among the blossoms. Xia Xihe felt her mood lift as she watched the vibrant butterflies.
Some containers held small branches, and upon closer inspection, each branch had a chrysalis attached to it. One of the chrysalises was slowly opening, indicating that another butterfly was about to emerge.
Xia Xihe watched with great interest, and Yan Yulong asked, "Do you like butterflies?"
"Yeah... they're beautiful," Xia Xihe said involuntarily.
"There's a specimen over there; do you want one?" Yan Yulong pointed to a sales counter near the entrance, looking ready to pull out his wallet to buy it for her.
"Thank you, but no," Xia Xihe quickly declined.
"Really don't want one?"
"A butterfly that can't fly loses its original beauty..." Xia Xihe said something profound, and Yan Yulong responded with an "oh," unsure if he understood.
After leaving the butterfly hall, they wandered around some more. The sunlight grew increasingly intense as noon approached.
"I'm hungry; let's go eat," Yan Yulong said, pulling Xia Xihe toward a small restaurant by the lake, where tall coconut trees stood and giant tropical water lilies floated on the surface.
Yan Yulong ordered a Hamburger Meal and casually scooped up a bite of rice to eat. Xia Xihe stared at him in surprise. When Yan Yulong caught her astonished gaze, he smirked and said, "What are you staring at? Haven't you seen me eat before?"
"It's not that..." Xia Xihe quickly explained. "I just thought you wouldn't eat this kind of food..."
"This kind of food? What's wrong with it?"
"Uh... the food in the school cafeteria is like this... I thought you wouldn't be used to it and only ate what your family prepared..."
Yan Yulong took another bite of rice and casually replied, "I used to eat at school during middle school but almost got poisoned, so my dad doesn't let me eat outside."
"Poisoning?" Xia Xihe was stunned.
"At that time, my dad hadn't abdicated yet, and a bunch of people wanting to seize power were plotting to kill my three brothers and me."
"I see..." It turned out he wasn't deliberately acting like a spoiled rich kid. His seemingly carefree luxurious life was actually filled with danger... Xia Xihe suddenly felt an immense sympathy for him.
"Is it okay for you to eat here?" Xia Xihe asked with concern.
"It doesn't matter. Now that I'm in charge, let them fight it out."
"Uh-huh..."
After finishing their meal, it was already one in the afternoon.
"Do you want to keep shopping?" Yan Yulong asked.
"No, that's enough..."
"Then let's go."
"Um..."
"What is it?"
"Can I use the restroom?" Xia Xihe said shyly.
"It's just the restroom; why be shy? Hurry up, or you'll end up with prostatitis," he teased.
">_<||| No way..." Xia Xihe hurriedly ran off.
After returning from the restroom, she found that Yan Yulong was no longer at the table. Xia Xihe stood there helplessly when a waitress passed by and said:
"Excuse me, the gentleman who came with you said to wait for him here."
"Oh... thank you." Xia Xihe sat down anxiously, waiting. After a while, Yan Yulong returned with an extra bag in his hand.
"Here you go." He handed the bag to Xia Xihe.
"What is this..." Xia Xihe opened it and saw a tray of seedlings inside.
"Phalaenopsis." Yan Yulong said lightly. Seeing Xia Xihe's confusion, he explained, "You didn't want to harm the butterfly specimen, right? So why not raise Phalaenopsis? Even if they can't fly, they can still be beautiful."
He actually remembered what she said, thought of this solution, and even went out of his way to buy it to please her... A warm and tingling feeling spread through Xia Xihe's heart.
"But I have to warn you, taking care of this is quite troublesome. If it doesn't bloom, don't be too sad." Yan Yulong added. Xia Xihe quickly shook her head, repeatedly saying:
"Thank you... thank you..."
"If you really want to thank me, just give me a kiss." Yan Yulong pointed to his lips and smiled playfully.
"This..." Xia Xihe glanced around at the people nearby, her face turning bright red.
"Forget it." Yan Yulong shrugged nonchalantly. "I know you're too shy."
He walked away first, and Xia Xihe hurriedly followed him.
