Aunt Hong widened her eyes and issued a military order.
But her attention was quickly diverted, "Young Master, have you spoken to the Second Young Lady and the others on the phone?"
An Ci narrowed his eyes, "No."
Aunt Hong was stunned again. Could it be that the young master was angry with the second young lady and her brother-in-law, so he refused to contact them?
The more I think about it, the more I feel this is possible. After all, she was sent here at such a young age, and her parents haven't contacted her yet. It's normal for the young master to be unhappy.
"Young Master, the Second Miss and the others are reluctant to let you go, there's really nothing they can do..." She tried to enlighten him.
Unexpectedly, the child in front of him suddenly laughed.
"Auntie Hong, I'm not angry. I'll call them again in a few days."
Aunt Hong was puzzled, "Why?"
"The Fourth Elder was stung by a wasp and fell into the water. It's not appropriate for me to call them now." An Ci made up an excuse to get away with it.
Some people are homesick, but she has never experienced what it is like to have parents. Even if she picks up the phone and makes a call, she doesn't know what to say.
So let's take it slow.
Aunt Hong thought she was afraid of being scolded and smiled. What she didn't tell her was that the matter had already spread to the imperial capital.
…
After the fourth elder was admitted to the hospital, the other elders were almost traumatized when they saw An Ci.
Just when they were worried that they would be the next person to go to the hospital, the young master had been surprisingly well-behaved recently. Although he was still late for class every day and would fall asleep on the table while sitting, at least he didn't get into trouble.
That day, after finishing the fencing class, An Ci changed his usual slow temperament and hurriedly packed up his things to leave.
Anyang was curious and came up to her and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
An Ci often attends classes with them recently. She is easygoing and can chat with anyone. The most important thing is that she often brings snacks, so they become more familiar with each other after a while.
Apart from An Yiheng, every time they see An Ci, they either make sarcastic remarks or want to compete with her.
"I asked Aunt Hong to make some barbecue. Do you want to eat some?" An Ci zipped up his schoolbag and threw it over his shoulder.
"Barbecue?" Anyang's eyes lit up. "Can I go?"
"Why not?" An Ci looked at the others and invited them to eat skewers. "Do you want to join us?"
"Who cares?" An Yiheng said sarcastically and turned away.
"I won't go. I have an exam in a few days and I need to hurry up and study."
"I have to go back and review too."
The remaining two followed suit. An Ci looked at An Yang, the only one who hadn't left. "You want to review too?"
"It's not too late to review." Anyang was now completely focused on the barbecue. "Let's go."
An Ci finally saw someone who was more greedy than her and couldn't help laughing.
The two walked out together and met An Yiyao and An Jianwen who were going to the cafeteria after class.
"Are you going to the cafeteria too?" An Yiyao took the initiative to greet them in a gentle voice.
Anyang spoke quickly, "No, An Ci invited me to her place for barbecue."
When An Jianwen heard this, a ripple appeared in his calm eyes. He glanced at An Ci and felt a strange sourness in his heart.
Because of the huge height difference, An Ci had to look up at them when he spoke, "Do you want to come together?"
An Yiyao thanked him and said, "No, Yiheng has already helped me get food." If he went, his own brother would probably be so angry that he would lift the roof off the house.
An Ci didn't force it. She turned her gaze to An Jianwen, and just as he was looking away, she grinned, "Brother Wen, are you going?"
An Jianwen glanced at An Yang out of the corner of his eye and said calmly, "You guys go ahead. I have to go back and finish a few papers later."
The light in his eyes dimmed. Just as An Ci was about to speak, the person next to her couldn't wait any longer and grabbed her and ran away, "Then we'll go first."
Other things can wait, but barbecue can’t.
An Yiyao smiled and said, "The young master is quite popular."
An Jianwen said nothing, looking at the direction where the two people ran away. He clenched his hands in his pockets slightly, and a sense of loss surged in his heart.
Yes, she has many people to play with her, so she doesn't need him.
