" Can this be made into something delicious?" Sun Xie asked with his eyes lit up. He did not understand much but he understood that these guarana fruits could be used to make something even more amazing.
Yu Dong nodded. She looked down at the guarana seeds and thought of the various drinks that she could make with them before saying, "Let's do our best to grow these, all right?" She then turned to look at Sun Jie as she raised her head and asked, " Where did you find these fruits?"
Sun Jie understood that he had done something good. He knew that if he told Yu Dong the truth then he would receive even more praise thus he replied with a silly smile, " I found then b..behind the mountains, where the rocks and cliffs are... there is a trail down there and if we walk down the narrow path then we find a small cave where these fruits grow."
" Ah? Are you talking about that cliff where the mountain ends?" Grandma Yu asked with a slight exclamation. When Yu Dong heard Grandma Yu's words, she turned to look at her old grandmother and asked, " Do you know about this place?"
Grandma Yu nodded. She thought of the things that her grandma had told her and after arranging the information in her head, she said to Yu Dong carefully, " That cliff was originally a port where the people from other lands brought a number of things.
You might not know this but before the Imperial family moved to the Imperial city they used to reside in this small town with the rest of their officials. Why do you think so many officials' families still live in this place?"
"But then the drought stuck and the entire town was in trouble, it was then when the Imperial family moved away to the capital along with the people while some remained here or came back."
" During those times many foreigners came to the cliff and brought things with them as they wanted to hand those things to the imperial family as offerings. I guess some of the things fell inside the cliff and they started to grow in the opening between the two cliffs."
Fang Chi's eyes dimmed when he heard Shen Li's reprimand. However he did not fight back like Ye Liu, he simply lowered his head like a puppy who was scolded by his master and then asked Shen Li with a little raise of his eyes, " I.... I can't go?"
Ba dump.
Everyone including Yu Dong's heart skipped a beat. As Yu Dong turned to look at Shen Li who seemed to be hesitating now and said, " Now you cannot refuse him."
Shen Li also felt that it was impossible for him to refuse Fang Chi. He sighed and then rubbed the space between his brows before saying, " Fine, you can go."
" WH—— What! Why?" Ye Liu turned to look at Shen Li with an annoyed look as he demanded angrily, " Why is he allowed to but I am not?"
" You should try to pout more, Liu," Yu Dong remarked with a little snicker as she picked up Yu Jin. " No one can withstand a pouting face, isn't that right Little Jin?" Chapter Explore:
" U..wah?" Yu Jin tilted his head to the side cutely causing Yu Dong's heart to be filled with warmth. "But you are the cutest even when you don't pout. You can win the heart of your mother just like this, after all, you are the cutest in the world."
Ye Liu: "..." So, I am not cute? That's why I am not allowed?
