His gift 1

  Lan Ya raised her eyes and took a glance at Boding, seeing him staring at her in surprise. She curved the corners of her eyes and revealed a smile, then reached out to take the dry rice cake from his bowl. Under his surprised gaze, she opened her mouth under her veil and took a bite.

  "Miss..." The strong guard behind her saw this and wanted to stop it but was a step too late.

  A "crunch" sound came from her mouth.

  Budin stared with wide eyes, encountering such a situation for the first time. At a glance, he knew that this woman was from a wealthy family, and she actually took the dry rice balls from their beggar's bowl on the street...

  The more she chewed, the more she felt like crying. She looked up at the stunned pudding and somehow had a feeling of seeing a family member.

  "Miss, it's time to go back." The guard reminded again.

  Lan Ya turned her head: "Go and help me buy a Xiangji's baozi, also clothes and quilts."

  "Miss..."

  "If you want me to return home quickly, just do as I say." Lan Ya's voice turned cold.

  "Yes." The guard in uniform replied and turned away.

  Buding almost fainted and didn't dare speak. Lanyu saw the situation, stood up, took two steps forward, and sat down beside Buding on the ground.

  "Miss......" Boding Nono's body trembled, his heart racing with anxiety.

  Lan Ya leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. The snow in the sky was getting bigger and bigger. Leaning against the wall felt a bit cool.

  The street was very quiet at this time, a beggar and a woman in luxurious white clothes were sitting by the wall, looking strange no matter how you looked at them. What's even stranger is that there was also a strong-willed official guard standing beside them.

  Buding stared straight at the woman's house, his mind racing with guesses, but after fifteen years of living there, he was certain he had never seen the woman before.

  Lan Ya closed her eyes, and Boding didn't dare speak either, so he lowered his head.

  "It's very cold outside, don't go out begging again." Half a moment later, Lan Ya opened her eyes and stood up.

  Pudding hung his head: "If we don't beg for food, we'll starve."

  Winter has arrived, and begging is the most difficult. Every year in winter, beggars have the hardest time, sometimes they can't get food for several days, and they go hungry for many days in a row.

  Today I was going to eat half a dried rice cake, but she ate it instead. Alas, the few people at home will have to go hungry again today.

  While speaking, the guard had already returned, with a package in his hand and a large bundle on his body.

  Lan Ya handed the buns over to Boding: "Take these back and let Qing Ling, Xiao Wu, Tao Li, Mo Li, and Xiao Pang try some. Bring these quilts and clothes back too, it's winter now, the ones at home aren't enough to keep warm."

  Pudding's eyes widened in surprise as she looked up at Rina: "H...how did you know the names of my younger brother and sister?"

  Lan Ya smiled but didn't answer, turning her head to look at the two guards: "Give me all the silver tickets on you."

  "Take this, buy a small house, do some small business, and don't come out to beg anymore. Xiao Wu and the others are still young, it's time for them to grow up, so give them more good food to eat." Lan Ya put the silver note into Bao Ding's hand.

  Baoding stared blankly at the thick stack of silver bills in his hand, then turned and handed them back to Lan Ya.

  "Who are you and how did you know about my family? And I won't give you money for no reason." There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

  Lan Ya put the silver ticket back in his hand: "If you don't want Xiaowu and the others to grow up and follow you as beggars, take this money and set an example for them."

  "Miss, it's time to return home." The fourth servant urged again.

  "Uh-huh." Lan Ya responded.

  "You didn't take my money for nothing, you're my brother." Lan Ya said softly.

  Pudding's fingers trembled as she stared at those beautiful eyes, only to realize that her gaze was very familiar. Are you my brother?

  "Blue......" Pudding reacted, her eyes filled with a surprised and delighted expression. When she came to herself, the figure that was just in front of her was still there.

  The snow fell heavily, and the whole world became quiet, as if everything that had just happened was a dream.

  He stared at the buns and silver notes in his hand, as well as a large bundle of bedding clothes, and his fingers tightened, it turned out he was a woman...

  Back at the Crazy King's mansion, the sky had already darkened, but the vast Crazy King's mansion was brightly lit.

  Ji Ye sat on the qilin chair in the great hall, his handsome face expressionless.

  Lan Ya felt that something was off as soon as she entered the hall. She looked up to see Zhu Ye's gloomy face and knew what had happened.

  "Sorry I'm late," she said, standing in the middle, looking a bit tired.

  "Have you eaten?" Zuo Ye Kuang Ming heard this and didn't ask further, only softly inquiring.

  His soft voice made Lan Ya pause, and she shook her head: "Not yet."

  "Let's go together." He took her hand and walked towards the room.

  The snow outside grew heavier, and in just two short hours it had fallen very thickly. As they walked along the long corridor, Lan Ya tightened her clothes, trying to pull out her hand, but he only held it tighter.

  After trying several times in vain, Lan Ya let him pull her along.

  Inside the room, the maid arranged the dishes. Lan Ya hadn't eaten anything all day and was indeed a bit hungry.

  At the same time, I was also puzzled. Every day, Ye Meng had dinner very early, so why hadn't he eaten yet now that night had fallen?

  "Why haven't you eaten yet?" Blue Ya asked out loud as she thought about it.

  "Very busy." A simple answer, of course, he wouldn't say that he was waiting for her on purpose.

  Lan Ya didn't ask more questions and picked up her chopsticks to eat.

  "Help Ben Wang with the dishes." Zhu Ye Kuang Ming picked up his chopsticks but didn't start picking up food.

  Lan Ya was also hungry, took a bite, heard the words spread dishes, and didn't care about three seven twenty one, used her own chopsticks to pick up the dish color and put it in his bowl so casually...

  Chu Ye frowned slightly, but seeing her eating with relish, he also picked up his chopsticks.

  Lan Ya took a few bites and then picked up several dishes from the bowl with a wild and crazy expression, revealing a harmonious feeling in an intangible way.

  This meal was a wild and crazy feast, he ate his fill with great satisfaction, such harmony made him feel like sharing the joy.

  For the first time someone helped him serve dishes, and there was a drop of sauce on the dish that had been stained with her chopsticks. He didn't feel absolutely disgusted and couldn't eat it down, but instead felt more fragrant than usual as he ate!

  Lan Ya finished two bowls of rice, let out a satisfied burp before putting down her chopsticks, and raised her eyes to meet Zhu Ye's face, which was filled with a smile that made her neck feel cool, as if a cold wind had blown past her back.

  "I'm full and I want to rest now." She stood up, indicating for him to leave.

  "No rush." Chu Ye smiled and pulled out a long, rectangular box from his sleeve, handing it to Lan Ya: "For you."

  "What is it?" Lan Ya asked in doubt.

  The box is long and narrow, from its decoration, it's definitely not an ordinary item.

  "A gift."

  Gift? Lan Ya was somewhat skeptical, what's the point of sending her a gift out of the blue? She furrowed her brow and reached out to take the box.
