Chapter 872: Chapter 872 Dream 4
Fu Miaoxue was half in doubt, half hopeful, “There couldn't really be something in there, could there? It looked empty to me.”
The duckbill cap was placed over her hand, and she reached in to feel around, skeptically looking at Du Lai, “…There's nothing at all.”
Du Lai chuckled, “Miss, the hat is acting coy with you, you see. You have to pet it, kiss it.”
Fu Miaoxue immediately put on a cold face, displeased, “This dirty hat of yours, also expects me to kiss it?”
Du Lai was a bit taken aback, then quickly plastered on a grin and humored her, “The status of the young lady is so high and mighty, of course, you wouldn't deign to do such a thing. Ah, I also think it's daydreaming! But this hat has a tricky temper, it won't produce anything if it's in a bad mood, what to do? Why don't you… just blow on it, Miss? As a Heavenly Immortal descended to earth, your 'Fairy Breath' will surely invigorate it a hundredfold.”
Fu Miaoxue snorted with laughter, her eyes shining as she looked at Du Lai, “What's that mouth of yours made of? You do speak so sweetly. It's a bit of a waste to have you as a Gardener. How about I move you to indoors work? It would be much nicer than being out here in the wind and the sun.”
Du Lai lowered his stance, “Wherever you think I fit best, I'll be there.”
“Wow, you're quite the charmer~” Fu Miaoxue laughed, “Well, it'll depend on this hat's performance. If it does well, I'll reward you; if not… how about throwing you into the sea to feed the fish?”
Bai Youwei, who was a distance away, twitched the corner of her mouth.
This was so like Fu Miaoxue–laughs and chats with someone one second, the next she's threatening to throw them into the sea. She's capricious, almost mad, and only Du Lai could tolerate her.
Indeed, Du Lai lived up to Bai Youwei's expectations, bending down and smilingly saying to Fu Miaoxue, “As long as it makes the young miss happy, I'm willing to be fish food in the ocean.”
Bai Youwei rolled her eyes: Ha, a pair of lunatics.
Fu Miaoxue gently blew into the duckbill cap she held, and then looked to Du Lai, “Alright, your turn now.”
Du Lai said, “Miss, please flip over the hat.”
Fu Miaoxue turned the duckbill cap over and a big bunch of red roses suddenly sprang out in front of her!
“Wow!” she exclaimed in surprise, lifting up the bouquet of roses, and more white roses bubbled up from beneath!
“How are there even more flowers!” Fu Miaoxue embraced the white roses as well, followed by yet another bunch of pink roses. She couldn't hold on anymore, and as she stood up, the hat fell to the ground, with rose after rose flowing out of it, creating a carpet of fresh flowers beneath her dress.
“Ah ah ah!… So many! So many roses!”
Fu Miaoxue was ecstatic!
“How could a hat possibly hold so many flowers?!” She threw the roses in her hand, euphorically rummaging through the pile of flowers to find the hat, “I have to see how it's done!”
She searched and searched, but to no avail, almost forgetting her dignity as she was about to dive into the floral mound.
“Where's the hat?… How come it's gone? It clearly fell on the ground, right at my feet!”
Du Lai helped her up, smiling, “Miss, the hat is here.”
“Where?” asked Fu Miaoxue, then suddenly brightened with a smile, “Oh, how did it get on your head? When did you put the hat on?”
“Yeah, how strange,” laughed Du Lai, “When did it make its way back?”
Fu Miaoxue of course knew it was a magic trick, and that Du Lai wouldn't easily reveal how it's done, but even if it was fake, she was delighted.
“You did well, from now on, work inside.” She brushed off the petals from her hem, asking with a cheerful smile, “Tell me, do you have any particular job in mind? An Attendant in the dining hall, a watchman for the corridor, a helper in the kitchen, or perhaps… a chauffeur? Can you drive?”
Du Lai laughed, “I'll leave it to the young miss to decide, just not on the third floor.”
