Over a dozen beehives yielded several jars of honey, as well as numerous leftover bits of the hive, which could be used to boil down into beeswax.
After all this, the two of them leisurely untied the ropes around their legs.
Once the ropes separating their legs were pulled away, they once again appeared outside.
At this very moment, Ah Dao happened to enter the courtyard to call them for a meal, only to witness the sudden appearance of the two.
And they were carrying bags and bundles in their hands.
Silence suddenly filled the air, and the three of them stared at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.
Just as Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were pondering how to explain themselves, Ah Dao coughed quietly, "I must be seeing things, forgive me, I’ll start over."
With that, Ah Dao walked out in a daze, then shortly after, walked back in again.
This time, Li Wenli and Bai Junjun were still standing in the same place, without suddenly appearing.
Ah Dao nodded calmly, "Master, it’s time to eat."
With these words, he turned and left.
Such a strong mental fortitude was admirable.
Ah Dao’s reaction was unexpected for the two of them, and Bai Junjun couldn’t help but murmur, "I mean, they can’t all be fools, can they?"
"I think we’re the ones looking more like fools right now," Bai Junjun admitted sincerely.
They had been summoning wind and calling for rain, having whatever they wanted at their fingertips, all while their movements were shrouded in mystery. Even a fool would notice something off about them, let alone the rather clever rest of them.
They probably all had noticed there was something amiss with the two of them but for some reason chose not to mention it.
The two of them silently made their way outside.
At that moment, Bai Sasa was cooking, while others were tidying up the bowls and arranging the chairs around the table. Even Ah Dao sat calmly by the dining table, and apart from his slightly stiff expression, no irregularity could be detected.
The two exchanged glances, seeing in each other’s eyes a determination born from painful reflection.
Thus, in the afternoon at the Bai Residence Snow Garden, an astonishing drama unfolded in Li Wenli’s room.
Later on, when Ah Dao recalled that day, he felt as if he had fallen into a fog, everything seemed as unreal as a dream, and not even in his dreams would he dare to do such things.
It was fortunate he adapted quickly, otherwise he would have certainly been scared out of his wits.
As for what he encountered... Ah Dao frankly stated it was absolutely the most unforgettable memory of his life.
At that time, everyone had eaten their fill and was mysteriously invited by Bai Junjun and Li Wenli to their room.
It was Bai Sasa’s first time entering Li Wenli’s room, and she was somewhat shy.
But her shyness was soon forgotten, as Bai Junjun handed each of them a piece of honey.
The Seven-Person Team had never tasted such beehive, but Bai Sasa and Bai Lingyu knew it well.
Looking at the beehive, both children were surprised, "Big sister, where did you get this?"
"Could it be that you’ve encountered Lady Lin just now?"
Bai Junjun shook her head, simply telling them to eat calmly.
Rabbit took a cautious bite and instantly blossomed with joy on her face.
Seeing Rabbit’s expression, everyone couldn’t resist taking a bite, discovering a sweetness entirely unlike candied or cane sugar!
Sweet treats naturally bring joy, and sweets with a hint of floral scent were even more happiness-inducing.
It was at this moment that Li Wenli and Bai Junjun sat down in front of everyone. Seeing that the sweets had soothed the crowd, they began to speak slowly.
"We have to be honest about something with you, but this matter is so against common sense that it might startle you.
However, promise me, if you feel like fainting, just take a bite of the honey in your hand, and you’ll be fine."
"???" Everyone looked puzzled.
