Chapter Seventy Zhao Yu: First Sleep, My Stomach Hurts
Zhao Lingyao stared at the two people not far away, called over her maid, and whispered, "Did my elder brother come to pick me up at noon?"
It was strange, because her older brother, who used to be so busy, had been coming to pick her up all the time lately, which made Zhao Lingyao a little uneasy.
What does the older brother want to do?
The maid nodded. "Just now, Brother Guanyan sent someone to tell us that the young master has just arrived and is at the door right now."
Zhao Lingyao frowned. She was worried that her sister Chumian had been bullied by Qin Hua Gongzi, but she was also afraid that if she waited too long before going out, her older brother would scold her. She was torn between these two conflicting emotions.
Just then, Xu Chumian arrived.
Let's go.
Zhao Lingyao took Xu Chumian's hand and went out.
Before they had walked more than a few steps, Zhao Yu came running towards them.
Zhao Lingyao was overjoyed: "Big brother, what brings you here?"
Zhao Yu was extremely tall, and his presence was very strong when he arrived in front of Xu Chumian.
Xu Chumian frowned, not wanting to pay attention to Zhao Yu, and took a step back.
Zhao Yu pursed his lips slightly, glanced down at her, and was somewhat relieved to see that she looked unharmed. He asked Zhao Lingyao, "Were you bullied by Shen Lingyin just now?"
Zhao Lingyao frowned and blurted it all out in one breath: "It wasn't me, it was Sister Chumian. Shen Lingyin had Yu Shan find an old woman to frame Sister Chumian for having a relationship with Third Brother. If Sister Chumian hadn't reacted quickly, she would have almost fallen into Shen Lingyin and Xingyang's trap. They're really wicked!"
Zhao Yu then nodded and looked at Xu Chumian with an open and honest gaze.
Xu Chumian said to Zhao Lingyao, "Lingyao, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Xu Chumian quickly left, with Xiao Tao following closely behind.
Zhao Yu's face immediately darkened.
Zhao Lingyao made two "hey" sounds, but no one in front of her reacted.
Zhao Lingyao muttered, "Big brother, you can just wait for me at the door. What are you doing coming in?"
Zhao Yu's voice turned cold, "Aren't you leaving?"
Zhao Lingyao exclaimed, "Oh dear! These two are really strange!"
When Zhao Yu left, Xu Chumian's carriage had only been gone a short while.
Xu Chumian, you're doing very well.
Zhao Yu's voice deepened slightly, "It's about time to close the net on the King of Qin's side."
Guan Yan: "Yes!"
-
Xu Chumian went straight back to the Xu family courtyard, and Xiao Qingyan arrived in the evening.
In the past two or three days, Xiao Qingyan seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
He pulled Xu Chumian into his arms and gently kissed the top of her head. "Chumian."
Xu Chumian's eyes stung, and she couldn't help but glare at him, "Where have you been these past few days? Is there something important going on in the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"
In the past, Xiao Qingyan would always tell Xu Chumian when he went out to handle cases, so as not to make her worry.
During this period, Xiao Qingyan acted strangely in a way that was hard to describe.
Xiao Qingyan ruffled her hair. "He just went to catch a criminal and didn't have time to tell you."
Xu Chumian frowned and remained silent.
Xiao Qingyan coaxed her for a long time before Xu Chumian finally took a serious look at him. She checked him over to make sure he wasn't injured before she felt relieved.
Xiao Qingyan's eyes were fixed on the people in front of him, but behind his affection lay a deep sense of panic.
Xiao Qingyan moved his lips, but couldn't bring himself to say the words.
Xu Chumian: "Qingyan, why are you looking at me like that?"
Xiao Qingyan smiled and joked, "Chumian, what would you do if I were gone one day?"
Xu Chumian's eyelashes trembled slightly. "Qingyan, something's wrong with you."
Xiao Qingyan smiled and said, "It's just a question. Everyone in the Embroidered Uniform Guard is talking about it today, saying they want to go back and ask their wives at home."
Xu Chumian pushed him away, "Who's your wife?"
Xiao Qingyan put his arm around Xu Chumian's shoulder, "It will happen sooner or later."
A few days ago, Xu Chumian hired a chef.
"Come and try this new dish. The chef is from Sichuan, and the flavor is fresh and delicious."
...
Not long after the meal, Xu Chumian saw Xiao Qingyan off.
Xiao Qingyan held his beloved tightly, his expression complicated. "Chumian, I might be a little busy in the days to come."
Xu Chumian lifted her head from his embrace, and Xiao Qingyan immediately concealed the emotions in his eyes.
"Then take good care of yourself, and don't get injured again."
Xiao Qingyan smiled slightly, "I understand, you can focus on your studies."
Xu Chumian nodded.
After Xiao Qingyan left, Xu Chumian returned to her courtyard. Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask, "Miss, aren't you going to tell Lord Xiao about what happened today?"
Xu Chumian shook her head: "No need, he's already busy enough."
Xiao Tao nodded.
The hot water in the kitchen was already heated, and Xu Chumian still needed to give Mu Mu a bath.
After finishing everything, Xu Chumian went into her bedroom.
As soon as she entered the door, Xu Chumian's face darkened.
She hurried inside and, sure enough, saw Zhao Yu sitting behind her desk, staring at her with a gloomy expression.
"I've been waiting for you for half an hour."
Zhao Yu's tone was heavy, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of grievance.
Xu Chumian sneered, "You came uninvited and you still think you're right?"
"Zhao Yu, get out."
Zhao Yu was still dressed in the same black clothes he had worn during the day. He stared intently at Xu Chumian, his face unusually pale.
"My stomach hurts."
Xu Chumian said coldly, "Dr. Chen is right next door."
Zhao Yu seemed not to hear, "I saw him kiss you."
Hearing this, Xu Chumian smiled slowly, "We are mutually in love, so isn't it a perfectly normal thing for him to kiss me?"
The light in Zhao Yu's eyes gradually disappeared.
He stared at Xu Chumian, as if trying to see her truest emotions.
Even just a little bit of compassion would be appreciated.
But there was nothing but indifference.
Zhao Yu took a deep breath and looked away. "Chu Mian, I want to eat your cooking."
Xu Chumian grabbed Zhao Yu's arm, trying to pull him out.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yu, being tall and strong, was actually pulled up by Xu Chumian. However, in the next instant, Zhao Yu fell towards Xu Chumian and hugged her tightly.
Xu Chumian could only support his body, but she didn't have enough strength to push him away.
Zhao Yu's warm breath brushed against her ear, and he spoke in the same tone that had softened Xu Chumian's heart in her past life: "Chumian, my stomach hurts."
