After dinner at the Gujian Courtyard, Daohua sent Li Xingnian and Li Chenzhi to the guest quarters to rest, then returned to her room. She saw Xiao Yeyang sitting at his desk, shirtless, fanning himself with one hand and holding a letter with the other. She instructed Guyu to fetch a watermelon that had been chilled in well water to cut.
When the watermelon was ready, Daohua took a piece and walked over. She held the slice of watermelon to Xiao Yeyang's lips with her right hand, "As we enter June, it's getting hotter here in Ganzhou GuardGan State Guard. Have a slice of watermelon to quench your thirst."
Xiao Yeyang bit into it, "Mmm... this watermelon is really sweet." He moved his gaze from the letter, taking another big bite.
