Seeing Daohua approach, Xiao Yeyang quickly went forward to support her.

Daohua, “What do you need me for?”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and took Daohua’s hand, “Come, I’ll take you to a nice place.”

Daohua, “Just to be clear, I can’t go too far.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, “With me here, why would you need to walk?” Saying so, he scooped her up in a horizontal carry.

Daohua looked around somewhat frantically.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled, “Don’t worry, no one will come this way.”

Daohua was silent for a moment, “Put me down and carry me on your back instead, it’s too tiring to hold me like this.”

Xiao Yeyang ignored her, and as he walked forward he said, “No need for that, we’re almost there.”

Before long, Xiao Yeyang was holding Daohua and had arrived at a quiet riverside.

Seeing the bamboo raft on the river, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, “We’re taking this?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, put Daohua down on the ground, then carefully helped her sit on the wooden stool on the bamboo raft, and took up the paddles to row personally.

Seeing Fu, Wang Manman, and Bi Shi standing on the shore, Daohua couldn’t help but ask, “Just the two of us?”

Xiao Yeyang laughed, “Isn’t it enough to have me with you?”

Daohua gave him a sidelong glance without speaking, and turned her gaze back to the river.

The clear water meandered gently, with verdant hills on both banks.

Watching the glistening ripples trailing behind, Daohua couldn’t resist leaning over to play with the water, “I have to say, the scenery here really is quite nice.”

Xiao Yeyang, “If you like it, we can come again next time. It’s very cool here in the hot weather, perfect for beating the heat.”

Daohua, “That’ll depend if I have the chance. Nowadays, aside from visiting my master and mother-in-law in Taohua Village, my mother doesn’t allow me to go out on a whim.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the increasingly graceful Daohua, “You really shouldn’t be going out on a whim now.”

Daohua turned her head to glare at him.

Xiao Yeyang quickly said, “Of course, if I’m with you then it’s not a problem.”

At that moment, Daohua heard the ‘whoosh whoosh’ of river water.

Seeing Daohua looking around curiously, Xiao Yeyang smiled, “We’ll be there shortly.”

In no time, a natural terraced waterfall came into view for Daohua.

Looking at the layers upon layers of waterfalls merging with the surrounding green mountains and waters, Daohua stood up excitedly.

Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile, “How about it, not bad here, is it?”

Daohua quickly nodded, “Not just not bad, it’s like a paradise.”

Xiao Yeyang chuckled, “Isn’t that a bit of an exaggeration?” After speaking, he slowly brought the bamboo raft to the shore and helped Daohua onto land.

Seeing that the water in the terraced waterfall wasn’t too rough and there were quite a few Goose Warm Stones laid out in some places, Daohua said excitedly, “I want to walk up there.”

Xiao Yeyang flatly refused, “No, your foot hasn’t healed yet.”

Daohua quickly replied, “I’ll just walk in the water, it won’t be a problem.”

Seeing the desire in Daohua’s eyes, Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment, “I’ll have to see how well your foot has recovered first.”

Daohua, “I know my own medical skills, would I make a joke of my own foot?”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t listen to her, helped her sit on a stone, then took off her shoes and socks to check her ankle, and seeing that the swelling had gone down, he didn’t say much.

Seeing that he agreed, Daohua quickly rolled up her trousers.

Watching Daohua expose her fair and slender legs so directly, Xiao Yeyang hurriedly reached out to stop her.

Daohua looked at him puzzled, “What are you doing?”

Xiao Yeyang: “It’s my turn to ask what you’re doing.”

Daohua: “Rolling up my pants. Otherwise, when I go into the water later, they’re sure to get wet.”

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yeyang said seriously, “From now on, except for me, you’re not allowed to do this in front of anyone else, not even your brothers.”

Daohua: “…” She momentarily forgot herself, forgetting that this was ancient times.

Seeing Daohua was stunned and didn’t respond, Xiao Yeyang spoke again, “Did you hear me?”

Daohua nodded and said in a muffled voice, “I heard you.”

Having received the answer he wanted, Xiao Yeyang let go, forcibly pulling his gaze away from Daohua’s calves.

Ignoring him, Daohua rolled up her pants and, lifting the hem of her skirt, stepped onto the lowest tier of the waterfall: “The water here is so cool and refreshing, really comfortable.”

“You just stand there and don’t move.”

Xiao Yeyang quickly removed his shoes and socks, tucked his robe into his belt, casually rolled up his pant legs, stepped onto the steps, and reached out to steady Daohua.

“There’s a Goose Warm Stone over there. Let’s go for a walk; it’ll be like getting a foot massage.”

“Be careful, these stone steps are a bit slippery, don’t fall.”

“Oh, you really are a nag, but aren’t you holding me? I won’t fall.”

Xiao Yeyang watched Daohua with a smile, supporting her arm with one hand and holding up her skirt with the other: “You trust me that much?”

Daohua turned to look at him and was about to say something when her foot slipped, and she started falling backwards.

Xiao Yeyang quickly reached out and wrapped his arms around Daohua’s waist, preventing her from falling into the water.

Looking at Daohua, who was still shaking with fright and clinging to his neck, Xiao Yeyang laughed and said, “That was a close one, wasn’t it?”

Daohua glared: “It’s all your fault, jinxing me. If you hadn’t distracted me by talking to me, I wouldn’t have lost my balance.”

Xiao Yeyang showed a helpless expression: “Yes, yes, it’s all my fault. Your skirt is wet; it’s no good to continue. Shall we head back now?”

Daohua looked at the somewhat wet hem of her skirt and nodded: “Mhm.”

Soon, with Xiao Yeyang’s help, Daohua was back on shore.

“There’s a bigger waterfall further in, quite spectacular. Let’s put on our shoes first, then head over to take a look.”

Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua sit on a rock, then took out a handkerchief to wipe the water from her legs and feet.

Looking at Daohua’s slender calves, delicate feet, Xiao Yeyang felt a little stir of emotion and involuntarily took hold of Daohua’s foot.

As his palm rubbed against her sole, Daohua couldn’t hold back a laugh: “Xiao Yeyang, that tickles.”

Seeing Daohua with her eyes rounded and her eyelashes fluttering, Xiao Yeyang felt a tug at his heart and deliberately fiddled with the sole of her foot.

“Hahaha~”
Daohua immediately burst into laughter, then tried to pull her foot back.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang held on too tightly for her to succeed.

After her laughter, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang with puffed-up anger: “Xiao Yeyang, if you dare to tickle me again, believe it or not, I’ll kick you flying?”

Xiao Yeyang shook his head with a laugh: “I don’t believe it.” And then he fiddled with the sole of Daohua’s foot again.

This time he used a bit more force, and Daohua laughed even harder, getting a little angry at Xiao Yeyang for doing it on purpose, and aimed a kick at him.

Knowing Daohua was just playing with him, Xiao Yeyang didn’t even try to dodge, and thus her foot hit his face.

Feeling Xiao Yeyang’s lips on the sole of her foot, Daohua froze on the spot.

Xiao Yeyang also didn’t expect this, and after a moment of shock, he then took hold of Daohua’s ankle but didn’t immediately move her foot from his face.

In the end, it was Daohua who came to her senses and quickly withdrew her foot.

Watching Daohua lower her head to put on her own shoes, Xiao Yeyang quickly took over. Seeing Daohua glaring at him, he hurriedly said, “No more teasing, I’ll properly help you put them on.”

Concerned about upsetting Daohua further, Xiao Yeyang didn’t dare to mess around anymore and properly helped Daohua put on her shoes and socks.

After he had put on his own, seeing that Daohua was still pouting and not too happy, Xiao Yeyang smiled and crouched down to wring out the wet hem of her skirt for her: “If we take a look over by the other waterfall for a while, it should dry out.”
