Chapter 254 Yu Sihans Reques (1/2)

”Where is the flute I gave to Yaya before?”
A Miao looked at him, and Yu Sihan raised his eyebrows in response. ”Bring it out quickly.”
”Little Demon.”
Little Demon nodded, turned, and went upstairs.
The old and heavy wooden box was placed on the tea table. Yu Sihan held Yaya with one hand and took out the jade flute with the other.
”Ah-eh?” Yaya stretched out her hands to grab it.
Yu Sihan lightly touched her nose with the jade flute. ”It's my gift to Yaya. Does Yaya like it?”
”Ah-ya!” Yaya waved her arms faster.
”She likes it!” Yu Sihan smiled at A Miao.
A Miao was unimpressed. ”She is teething, so she wants to grab everything and stuff it into her mouth.”
”Don't be jealous. Yaya just likes me.” Yu Sihan ignored A Miao's dark expression and placed the flute against his lips.
When the clear flute began to play, A Miao's face changed.
”This is...” She could never forget it. She had heard the flute before!
It was the tune that had woken the giant turtle.
”Why can you play it?” She stood up.
The flute stopped abruptly.
”I could already play the flute before.” Yu Sihan drew a beautiful flower with the jade flute. Yaya clapped her small hands. It was unclear whether she really understood or just happened to do so coincidentally.
”I'm asking you why you can play this tune?” A Miao didn't want to mind her daughter who was a drag.
Yu Sihan stuffed the flute into Yaya's arms. ”I went back to look over what my ancestors left behind and found this music.”
”Did your ancestors ever say what it is?” A Miao did not doubt what Yu Sihan said. Without something passed down from his ancestors, he could not have known of the existence of the treasure.
It was even more impossible for him to know how to get there, and the sea snake as well as the giant turtle... these must have been recorded by his ancestors.
”It's a long story.” Yu Sihan looked at his watch. ”Don't you eat dinner?”
A Miao closed her eyes. ”I'm not hungry.”
”But I'm hungry.”
”Little Demon...” A Miao gritted her teeth as she spoke, ”Ask auntie if dinner is ready.”
”I don't want to eat your home cooking,” Yu Sihan said with disgust on his face. ”I want to go to a restaurant.”
A Miao: ”...”
An hour later, the two together with Yaya, who was sleeping in the stroller, were seated in a Szechuan Restaurant.
”Are you sure this is the most authentic?” Yu Sihan looked critically at his surroundings inside the private room.
A Miao was busy texting He Shishi, telling her not to come over, while she answered him, ”You said you wanted to go to the restaurant with the best reputation. This is the most recommended online.”
”You're lying!” Yu Sihan exposed her. ”I also checked online. The most recommended one online is a small restaurant.”
”Okay, let's go.” A Miao stood up. ”The small restaurant on the street is better than the ambiance here.”
Yu Sihan picked up the chopsticks. ”This place isn't bad. Right here!”
When they had eaten and drunk enough, they got into the car, whereupon Yaya woke up. After seeing Yu Sihan's face, she didn't want A Miao to hold her.
A Miao's stomach began to ache. Beside her, Yu Sihan said, ”That's because you didn't eat just now.”
”Now, you can say it.” A Miao didn't want to argue with Yu Sihan or she might die of anger.
Just outside the restaurant door, he had called her ”mom,” so the waiter praised her for looking so young.
”Let's go and find a place.”
A Miao had the driver drive them home. She would at least be more courageous and secure to face Yu Sihan at home.
”Hurry up and say it! Otherwise, you'll have to leave.” A Miao gave him an ultimatum when they were finally seated in the living room once more.
Yu Sihan set Yaya down on the side and let her play with the ball by herself. ”My ancestors left behind a book on which they recorded something about the treasures.”
”So you knew how to find the treasures early on?” A Miao suddenly thought of something. ”Then why did you wait so long before coming to us?”
”Because I was too young!” Yu Sihan pointed to his face. ”I was just a child a few years ago.”
Deep inside, A Miao sneered. ”Except your face and height, you are nothing like a child.”
”I've already told you some things mentioned in the book before, but now I'm going to tell you something you don't know.” Yu Sihan poured himself a cup of tea as if he was the host. ”When our ancestors landed on turtle island...”
To be exact, the giant turtles had rescued them from the sea. The giant turtles moved those people and the boats, which helped them survive the storm at sea. Then they discovered that only the giant turtles were not harmed by the poisonous gas at sea. That meant that they may not be able to leave for the rest of their lives.
”So they hid the treasures on the backs of the giant turtles.” A Miao looked at him. ”And then? They must have been able to leave eventually or they would have no descendants.”
”They domesticated the giant turtles.” Yu Sihan motioned as if he was going to play the flute.
A Miao stared, eyes widened in surprise. ”You mean the giant turtles sent them out?”
”That's what my ancestors wrote in the book.”
A Miao pondered for a moment, then her eyes gradually lit up.
