"It's filled with brown sugar."
York's face was beaming with pride; he was so incredibly kind...
"There's so much, I could never finish it all in my lifetime."
Tulips are somewhat speechless.
"You should return it. I don't need so much, and it will spoil if I can't finish it."
"My God! Tulips... they actually..."
Although I don't know what York is so self-satisfied about, judging from his appearance, he probably won himself over.
"Tulips, have we had guests?"
Yuan Hua came out of the house and casually put his arm around Tulip's shoulder.
"you……"
York was about to say something when Tulip glared at him, shutting him up.
"No, no, I'm overthinking it. They're just best friends. According to Tulip, this kind of behavior is perfectly normal. I can't be too petty, or Tulip will look down on me."
"Why did you buy so much brown sugar?"
Yuan Hua's nose twitched slightly.
"Brown sugar is good; it can be used to make steamed buns."
"really?"
The tulips caught my eye.
"Then we'll accept the brown sugar."
Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Tulip's attitude immediately changed.
"Great! My gift has been accepted!"
York felt a sense of satisfaction...
"Okay, I'll help you move it in."
After saying that, York bent down and, with a heavy heart, picked up the sack of brown sugar from the ground.
"No need, I'll do it myself."
Tulip casually tugged and easily picked up the brown sugar in her hand.
"Wow, Tulip, you're so strong..."
York was taken aback and froze on the spot...
"Is she worried that I'll get tired?"
"Can I come in and sit?"
York cautiously pointed inside the house...
"It's not very convenient; we might have to go out in a bit."
Tulip stiffened slightly as she spoke...
At this moment, Yuan Hua's large hands were secretly kneading her body, and he even pinched her hard twice.
Tulip quietly put her hands behind her back and pushed away Yuan Hua's groping hands.
"I see... Then I won't bother you any longer, I'll come back later..."
York scratched his head awkwardly and led his Akhal-Teke donkey away from Yuan Hua's yard.
"Where's Panda? Did he run off to play again?"
Yuan Hua glanced into the woods not far away and saw a bear catching butterflies.
"Panda is still a baby and just playing around. It hasn't gone far, so just let it be."
Tulip nestled gently in Yuan Hua's arms.
"I haven't seen you come back either, so why did you come out of the house?"
"You don't need to know about this. Here, give this to Yong-tae when he comes back and tell him that someone else sent it to him."
Yuan Hua placed a ring in Tulip's hand.
"This is?"
Tulip looked at the ring in her hand. There were obvious signs that someone else had used it. This kind of thing couldn't be faked; it was all the result of years of wear and tear.
"This is Hannah's ring."
"Oh, I know."
Tulip immediately understood, took out a handkerchief from her pocket, wrapped it up, and put it back in her pocket.
"Are you going on another long trip?"
"It's not exactly a long trip."
Yuan Hua scratched his head.
"I'm just a little busy, it might take a bit of time. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it back for you on my way back."
"I want to eat cheese roast meat. Just bring some cheese when you come back."
Tulip didn't think much of it. Since Yuan Hua said he had something urgent to do, he was probably out making money. Who cares? She just needed to stay in the village and be beautiful. Because she had to go to the shop from time to time to check on the progress of the renovation work, she couldn't leave the village during this period.
"Alright, that's enough. I'm leaving now."
Yuan Hua almost forgot that Hannah's food expenses hadn't been collected yet; he needed to cover that shortfall.
How many days are you going to be gone?
Tulip called out to Yuan Hua's retreating figure.
"About four or five days."
After saying that, Yuan Hua disappeared from the spot...
……
"Teleportation anchors are still the best, quick and convenient, it's just a pity they can't carry people."
Pushing open the cellar door, Yuan Hua walked out of the basement. It had been about two hours since the end of the first phase of Zeramir's punishment. Giving her a little more rest time wouldn't hurt; let's just say it was six hours.
There are still four hours left. First, I need to go and get the 100 gold coins for food. Second, I need to find out about the current situation of the Shandrila family in town. If the area is still under alert, then I won't come to Wache Town for the time being.
"Let me think, where was the place we agreed on before?"
Yuan Hua couldn't remember very clearly anymore...
"It seems to be in this vicinity."
Secretly, a pair of hands quietly reached out towards Yuan Hua...
Bang----!!!
Clang!
"It hurts..."
A gasp rang out, and Yuan Hua was stunned for a moment...
Huh? Whose naughty kid is playing pranks here?
"Who are you, and why are you in my house?"
Looking at the little devil lying on the wreckage of the table, Yuan Hua's gaze turned colder.
"sorry!"
The boy's apology was loud, even drowning out Yuan Hua's reprimand.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Yuan Hua's tightly furrowed brows relaxed...
"Get up."
"Thank you, brother."
The boy quickly got up and patted his knees.
"My name is Dulin... I just wanted to find something to eat... so... so I sneaked in through the window..."
Du Lin lowered his head, his fingers fidgeting, but finally he mustered the courage to look up at Yuan Hua.
"I didn't steal anything, really. I just took some bread. I even looked after the house for you. I thought you were a thief who broke in, so I was just trying to scare you away. I just didn't expect..."
Dulin's voice grew softer and softer; clearly, being slapped and sent flying was a difficult thing for a child's self-esteem to accept.
"Which window is open?"
Yuan Hua's expression softened a bit. If it wasn't a bratty kid, everything would be fine.
(P.S.: Dulin is very important. He won't have any involvement with the female lead, but he'll be essential to the later plot.)
"The bedroom..."
Dulin pointed to the second bedroom.
"..."
Yuan Hua nodded slightly and casually took out a silver coin from his pocket and tossed it in front of Du Lin.
"This is your reward for guarding the house. You can leave now."
boom----
Dulin knelt heavily on the ground.
"Big brother, please take me as your little brother. I want to become as powerful as you."
"I'm not interested. You'd better go back to where you came from. I don't have time to play house with you."
Yuan Hua stepped over Du Lin and headed straight for the second bedroom. Although there were no valuables in the room, who knows what might happen in the future? After all, Yuan Hua had never been inside the second bedroom before. If it weren't for this kid's reminder, this room would be no different from a thief's backyard.
