Chapter 564 The Silly Miss
Grandpa Wu spoke with such certainty, and a sense of "I knew it" welled up in my heart.
Jun Wuduan did not use the half of the Gu flute as a bargaining chip beforehand, but chose to give it away before leaving.
Such behavior was strange, yet it carried a strange obsession, which made Grandpa Wu feel a little strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.
Unable to explain the strange feeling in his heart, Grandpa Wu naturally shifted his attention to the Gu flute.
"Let's find someone to try and get it connected."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yan and his son indeed stopped worrying about Jun Wuduan's identity and instead focused on the Gu flute that had been lost and then recovered.
"It's broken like this, I'm afraid we'll have to find an experienced mechanic to fix it."
"I've seen broken jade bracelets repaired with a gold ring before, which is commonly known as 'gold inlaid jade.' The Gu flute is also made of jade, so it should be applicable to this situation as well, right?"
"That makes sense? Quickly, let's take him to your Grandpa Li right now."
"Of course we'll look for it, but Dad, this is my flute. Why do you seem more anxious than I am?"
"You brat, your flute? This is the flute of the clan chief and the future clan chief. Don't forget who passed this flute to you. Hurry up and take it, and let me use it too."
Wu Chi: "..." Dream on! After I finish this, I'll definitely use it myself!
Ye Wanxi and the others, who had already walked away, were unaware of the commotion caused by the Wu family members.
Before the trip, no one expected that the trip, which was originally predicted to take no more than half a month, would be delayed for so long.
Only when she boarded the plane that was picking her up did Ye Wanxi finally feel that this matter was finally over.
But this time, she had many more questions in her mind, the most pressing of which was...
"Third Senior Brother, how come you have the other half of Senior Sister Qi Yao's Gu Flute?"
Jun Wuduan was in a good mood and smiled, saying, "She accidentally left her here with me."
"Unintentionally... left it here?" Ye Wanxi looked bewildered. She clearly remembered that Senior Sister Qi Yao cherished this Gu flute and took it everywhere. How could she have just left it with someone else, and for so long without even thinking of asking for it back?
Feng Tianyu noticed Ye Wanxi's confusion, reached out and patted her head, then changed the subject: "How could you bear to give it away? I thought you would keep it for the rest of your life."
Jun Wuduan glanced at him, then quickly shifted his gaze to the little jade toad: "Out with the old, in with the new; how can we give away something new if we don't give it away?"
"I see."
A look of understanding flashed across Feng Tianyu's eyes, and he began to think about how to secretly replace the Gu flute.
This guy minds if someone uses something given to him by another person, but how could he not mind if something his junior sister made by hand was used by another man?
Ye Wanxi sat down next to Feng Tianyu, looking ahead and then around, completely bewildered: "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"
"It's nothing." Feng Tianyu took a large pile of food from the seat next to him and placed it in front of Ye Wanxi. "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"
"..."
How could Ye Wanxi not see through such an abrupt change of topic?
But she was easily swayed by this approach, and seeing that neither of them wanted to discuss the topic anymore, she didn't press the matter further.
While eating the snacks specially prepared by the crew, Ye Wanxi's brows furrowed more and more as she stared straight ahead.
Feng Tianyu had just opened a package of beef jerky and was about to feed her when he saw the pain mask on Ye Wanxi's face. He was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had eaten something particularly disgusting.
"This snack isn't to your liking?"
"No, it's quite delicious." Ye Wanxi said mysteriously as she moved closer to Feng Tianyu. "I just find it a bit strange. When we first met, Tuan Tuan was very afraid of Third Senior Brother, but after such a short time, he's changed completely."
She not only took the initiative to get close to him, but was also willing to leave with him.
After Ye Wanxi finished speaking and didn't hear Feng Tianyu's agreement for a while, she blinked and turned to look at him thoughtfully: "Why do you seem not surprised at all?"
“As expected.”
"As expected? Why?"
"Probably because there is a bond that connects them."
"A bond? You mean Senior Sister Qi Yao? What exactly is the relationship between Third Senior Brother and Senior Sister Qi Yao...?"
"Keep it a secret."
"..." If this continues, even if she isn't a particularly curious person, she'll suffocate!
Ye Wanxi channeled her grief and anger into her appetite, tearing open a bag of potato chips and munching on them.
Sitting directly in front of her, Jun Wuduan was staring blankly at the floating clouds outside the glass window. His beautiful light brown eyes were focused and affectionate, reflecting the floating clouds, so deep that it was impossible not to be captivated.
Meanwhile, in a coastal city in the south, a three-story villa with a private courtyard was bustling with activity early in the morning, with many people moving around and creating a lively scene.
"How is Miss now? Has her fever gone down?"
"It's gone down a lot. Last night, my fever was almost 40 degrees Celsius. The doctor was shocked when he came over. He said that if the fever had lasted any longer, it could have turned into pneumonia. If you ask me, with such a high temperature, turning into pneumonia would be the least of your worries. Your brain could have been damaged by the fever."
"Shh! Are you out of your mind? How dare you say something like 'Miss's brain is fried' at home? If Uncle Qi hears you, you'll be in big trouble."
"Pah, pah, pah, my fault, my fault. I just never treated Miss as... that's why I blurted it out. Please don't tell anyone what I just said."
"Alright, alright, you'd better watch your mouth. I'm not that talkative."
"Alas, what a pity that the young lady was so beautiful and so well-behaved, how could she..."
In the entire city of Z, everyone knows that the Qi family, the richest family in Z, besides their exceptionally talented eldest son who is their heir, also has a young daughter who was diagnosed as mentally challenged at birth.
Over the years, the Qi family sought out renowned doctors for their youngest daughter, but to no avail.
In the end, in desperation, he even sought out those so-called "masters" who were considered frauds by many.
The outcome was still not optimistic. After examining Miss Qi, the master shook his head and said a few words: "Your daughter has lost one of her three souls and seven spirits since birth. If they cannot be found, she will probably remain like this for the rest of her life."
When asked how to find it, he couldn't give a clear answer, which angered the eldest young master of the Qi family so much that he kicked him out.
"Fortunately, the master, mistress and eldest young master love Miss very much and have never disliked her because of this illness. Otherwise, given Miss's condition, I don't know how much suffering she would have to endure."
"Isn't it?"
As the two servants were marveling at the situation, neither of them noticed that Miss Qi, who had been burning up with a high fever all night, had woken up at some point.
Those usually empty eyes gradually became clear with each blink, looking around with a hint of scrutiny and doubt. Where was the foolish look from before?
