Xiao Zhan woke up with a loud noise. When he opened his eyes in confusion, he saw someone standing by the bed.
Wang Yibo looked down at him with a serious face. He hadn't had time to change his clothes yet. It seemed that he had just rushed back. Xiao Zhan rubbed his eyes and sat up halfway before he woke up.
Usually, when Wang Yibo came back from work outside, he would do this. He would come directly to Xiao Zhan, change clothes casually, and go to bed and hug him regardless of whether Xiao Zhan wanted to continue sleeping.
Xiao Zhan saw that he was still standing by the bed and didn't move. He habitually reached out to pull Wang Yibo, but before his hand touched the other's sleeve, his wrist was trapped and tightly held in his hand.
"Young, young master..." Cui'e's voice came weakly from behind Wang Yibo. Xiao Zhan was pinched so hard that he finally woke up. He turned his head and saw Cui'e standing at the door with a sad face.
He looked up at Wang Yibo again, frowning and angry.
Xiao Zhan was puzzled, and he cried out in pain.
Wang Yibo squeezed Xiao Zhan's arm tightly, and when he heard him inhale, he let go, and then squeezed again, over and over again.
"Master, calm down, Master Xiao just woke up." Cui'e was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She didn't care about anything else and walked forward like a peacemaker. Wang Yibo turned his head and glared at her, which scared Cui'e so much that she had to shrink back and said nothing.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Zhan whispered and looked at Wang Yibo.
He really didn't understand why Wang Yibo just came back from the suburbs and felt like he had eaten dynamite.
The person standing in front of him just took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing his anger.
Wang Yibo stared at Xiao Zhan for a long time before he said fiercely: "Since you like to be a decent person so much, I will definitely satisfy you."
Xiao Zhan didn't know what to say, and raised his other hand, trying to pry open Wang Yibo's palm that was pinching him.
It was really painful.
"Xiao Zhan, I really don't need to do this, if not..." Wang Yibo didn't finish his words. He took a deep breath again, pinched Xiao Zhan's thin wrist hard, and then let go of his hand.
Xiao Zhan's hand was still on his arm. When Wang Yibo shook away his sleeves and left, Xiao Zhan's palm unconsciously made a folding movement, as if he wanted to subconsciously grab something.
"Master..." Cui'e next to him looked at Wang Yibo's figure who was leaving, cried out in a low voice, and turned to look at Xiao Zhan who was stunned.
"Cui'e..." Xiao Zhan looked at everything in front of him, and even doubted whether it was a dream that he hadn't woken up, which made him confused.
"Master Xiao, how can you be so cruel!" Cui'e walked up to Xiao Zhan with a cross face.
"Cui'e, what are you talking about?" Xiao Zhan didn't understand why he became a "heartless" person after just one day of not seeing him.
He rubbed his pinched red arm, and his heart was in turmoil.
"Yesterday, the young master went to the suburbs and met the lady before leaving. The matchmaker from the Fengwang Mansion comes frequently, so he has to give a definite answer. He went for this matter."
"Yes."
"Cui Yu told me that the young master told the lady yesterday that he liked you, the young master Xiao."
"What?!" Xiao Zhan stopped rubbing his wrist. He looked at Cui'e in disbelief, thinking she was talking nonsense.
"Cui Yu told me that the young master told the lady directly that he wanted to help you open a Xiao family incense shop in the capital and be with you. He didn't want to marry the princess of the palace, but the lady refused."
According to Cui'e, when Xiao Zhan went to see Mrs. Wang yesterday, she knew what her son was thinking. No wonder she asked those strange questions...
"He, why would he say that to Mrs. Wang?" Xiao Zhan got up from the bed, and he was sweating on his back and his scalp was numb. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he pulled Cui'e and asked nervously.
"I don't know the details. I was just decocting medicine for you when I saw the young master coming angrily. Cuiyu followed him. She held me and told me that the lady called the young master this morning and repeated what you said to her yesterday."
"What I said..." Xiao Zhan muttered to himself.
"What a sweetheart is just a naive thought, a momentary impulse, and you also said that you think he is suitable for the princess of Fengwang Mansion."
Xiao Zhan was shocked.
"Young Master Xiao, Cuiyu told me that the lady doesn't mind your relationship with the young master. She dotes on the young master, and as long as he is happy, it is more important than anything else. But what you said yesterday was comprehensive and indeed for the Wang family and the young master, but it sounded like you had no friendship with the young master. Any mother would be a little worried that her son would be wronged." Cui'e said in a crying voice.
Xiao Zhan was speechless. Thinking of Wang Yibo's appearance just now, his fingers began to tremble.
"Young Master is used to doing his own thing, but he will try his best to do well in anything he has in mind. These days, even a servant like me can see his intentions."
"Cui'e..."
"Although I like to make trouble, I really want our Young Master to be good. Young Master Xiao, do you really dislike our Young Master? But I think you obviously like him." Cui'e twitched and began to cry over there. "No wonder I had a nightmare again last night. I dreamed that the house I didn't have was demolished again. How could this happen? I, I feel so uncomfortable."
Xiao Zhan's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, finally fell, but it didn't fall to the ground, but fell to the bottom of the silent valley, and no sound could be heard.
The cicadas outside the window in the afternoon, combined with Cui'e's crying and self-centered chattering, were just like Xiao Zhan's thoughts at the moment, a mess, and nothing was right.
