Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Chapter 494 Osmanthus Cake

Yang Xiaoyue listened to every word Xu Changping said. Those heartwarming words gently fell into her heart, making her feel a warm current involuntarily surge in her heart.

Her beautiful eyes were now filled with deep trust and endless gratitude towards Xu Changping.

Although Xiao Mi didn't quite understand what they were talking about, with her keen intuition, she could clearly sense the solemn atmosphere surrounding them.

So she snuggled up to her sister Yang Xiaoyue like a docile kitten, closed her mouth, and looked at the two of them with her big eyes that were as clear as water and as shining as black gemstones.

Xu Changping noticed Xiao Mi's innocent eyes and couldn't help but smile. He squatted down, gently picked up Xiao Mi and placed her on the back seat of the bicycle.

Then, Xu Changping stood up, turned to look at Yang Xiaoyue who was standing beside him, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, let's set off now." After that, he took the first step and pushed his bicycle towards the door.

It was the busiest rush hour of the day, and the streets were crowded with people. Xu Changping and the Yang sisters had just stepped out of the gate of the courtyard when they were swallowed up by the surging crowd in an instant.

Not long after, Xu Changping finally brought the Yang sisters to the quiet and quaint Wumen courtyard where Guan Ke lived.

The gate of the courtyard was slightly ajar, as if waiting for someone to come and gently push it open.

Seeing this, Xu Changping thought for a moment and decided not to knock on the door. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the door bolt and pushed it hard. With a slight creaking sound, the gate slowly opened.

He looked back at the Yang sisters who were following closely behind him, motioned for them to follow him, and then led the two of them into the yard with confidence.

Just as they stepped into the yard, a strange figure suddenly came into Xu Changping's sight.

She was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her forties. She was wearing very simple clothes without too many fancy decorations.

Her face was quite kind, but when she looked over here, there was a hint of imperceptible sharpness in her eyes.

Xu Changping couldn't help but think to himself: This must be the relative that Yang Xiaoyue mentioned before. Xu Changping had always thought it would be a man, but who would have thought it would be a middle-aged woman.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman saw Yang Xiaoyue and Xiao Mi behind Xu Changping, and the sharpness in her eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a amiable smile.

Just this momentary change in expression made Xu Changping slightly amazed.

Seeing the other party's expression change so quickly, Xu Changping began to question her identity.

He couldn't help but have doubts about the woman's true identity, because from her previous behavior, she didn't look like a relative of Yang Xiaoyue and her sister at all. Instead, she looked more like a nanny hired by Yang Xiaoyue's relative's family.

Although he was confused, Xu Changping did not say much. Under the other party's unfathomable gaze, he led Yang Xiaoyue and her sister into the yard.

Just after parking the bicycle and taking Xiao Mi off the back seat, Guan Ke suddenly opened the door curtain and walked out slowly with an extremely large basin in his hand.

Seeing this, Xu Changping quickly stepped forward, stretched out his hands, and said enthusiastically: "Master, just give this to me. Are you going to throw it away?"

"Well, just pour it out to the front door. It's not dirty water." Guan Ke didn't even hesitate when Xu Changping took the basin to pour the water. He handed the basin to Xu Changping naturally and said this kindly.

After Guan Ke handed the basin to Xu Changping, he turned around, waved to Xiao Mi who was still standing there, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Mi, come here quickly, Third Sister got up early in the morning to make a fragrant and sweet osmanthus cake for you."

When she heard that there was delicious osmanthus cake to enjoy, Xiao Mi's big round eyes lit up instantly.

She left her sister behind without hesitation and ran to Guan Ke's side like a happy little rabbit, then raised her cute little face and said in a baby voice, "Master~~"

"You're so good. Go in and find your third sister." Guan Ke stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, gently stroked Xiaomi's furry little head, and spoke to her in an especially gentle tone.

Yang Xiaoyue, who had been standing nearby and witnessing all this, looked helplessly at Xiao Mi's small back as she ran away happily, and could not help but gnashing her teeth secretly:

This damn little sister actually left her here all alone without mercy. Doesn’t she know how embarrassed she is at this moment?

Fortunately, not long after, Guan Ke seemed to notice Yang Xiaoyue's predicament and quickly spoke up to help her out:

"Miss Xiaoyue, don't just stand there, come in quickly! Third sister made a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes today, let's all taste them happily together."

"Oh, thank you so much! I'm so sorry to trouble you."

When Yang Xiaoyue heard this, she was immediately delighted and quickly seized the opportunity to climb up the pole. A smile as bright as a flower bloomed on her face, and she kept thanking him.

However, at this moment, Xu Changping, who had just walked into the yard carrying an empty basin in one hand, happened to hear what Yang Xiaoyue said, so he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a kind smile, and asked curiously:

"Haha, Miss Xiaoyue, I wonder what you are bothering my master with?"

"Master Guan asked me to come in and eat some osmanthus cake." Yang Xiaoyue was looking ahead intently, and was startled when she suddenly heard these words coming from behind her.

She turned around, glared at Xu Changping coquettishly, and said unhappily: "Oh! How come you are so elusive? You scared me to death!" As she spoke, she rolled her eyes at the other person.

As they were talking, Guan Ke came forward and naturally took the basin from Xu Changping. His other free hand gently patted his shoulder and said, "Changping, come in and have a taste of this delicious osmanthus cake."

In fact, Guan Ke had already expected Xu Changping to come.

However, the situation on the Yang family's side was a little complicated, and he really didn't want his innocent disciple to be involved in it.
