Chapter 289 Don’t Have an Easy Time
Not long after, Wenren Yuebai completed the handover of official documents with the clerk on duty at the Ministry of Revenue. When Lao Yan saw him come out, he hurried forward to help push the wheelchair.
"Sir, Miss Qiao wants to see you." Old Yan said behind Wenren Yuebai.
Seeing that Wenren Yuebai did not respond, Lao Yan thought for a moment, then leaned forward and said, "Sir, I think Miss Qiao is a good person. You have been feeling depressed these days, maybe Miss Qiao can talk to you and that will help."
Wenren Yuebai raised his head slightly and looked at Lao Yan with some surprise.
"Aunt, you never spoke up for others like this before."
Old Yan laughed twice, "Isn't this all for the consideration of the young master?"
He could tell that there was no refusal in Wenren Yuebai's words, so without waiting for him to continue speaking, he simply asked for directions and took Wenren Yuebai towards the direction of the Duzhisi.
There were four offices built side by side in the courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue. It was the first time that Old Yan came here and he didn't know the way. There was no one guarding either side, so he didn't know where to find Qiao Youyou.
"Uncle, please wait for me here." Wenren Yuebai naturally knew where Qiao Youyou usually was. He was about to go find her alone, but he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by in his peripheral vision.
He looked carefully and saw that it was Qiao Youyou.
"Joe—"
Old Yan also saw it and was about to call her, but Wenren Yuebai suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
Wenren Yuebai looked in the direction of Qiao Youyou and saw that she was acting a little sneaky. She found the key from somewhere, opened the door of Min Yuan's office, and slipped in.
What was she doing sneaking into Min Won’s room?
Wenren Yuebai frowned and said nothing.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" The voice of the clerk on duty suddenly came from behind.
When he saw clearly that it was Wenren Yuebai, the clerk immediately became respectful and addressed him as "Young Master Wenren".
Wenren Yuebai looked indifferent and said that he had something left in the Ministry of Revenue and came to look for it before leaving.
"Mr. Wenren, would you like me to go in and help you look for it?" The clerk was about to walk towards the courtyard of the Ministry of Revenue when Wenren Yuebai gently raised his hand to stop him.
"No need, go and get busy."
"...Okay, sure. Just tell me what you want to do." The clerk touched his head, didn't ask any more questions, and turned away.
Soon, Min Yuan's door opened, Qiao Youyou walked out quietly, and turned around to lock the door.
As soon as Qiao Youyou turned around, she saw Wenren Yuebai at the gate of the yard. She seemed startled and looked around quickly. Seeing that no one noticed her, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
She made a "shut up" gesture to Wenren Yuebai from a distance, then went back to her own office and did something unknown before finally coming out, with light steps, as if something had been accomplished.
When she walked in front of him, Wenren Yuebai finally couldn't help but speak: "You just..."
His eyes glanced towards Min Yuan's office.
"I just now..." Qiao Youyou put her hands behind her back and her eyes suddenly turned, "Hey, Xiaobai, are you not angry with me anymore?"
Wenren Yuebai: “?”
"Master, I...I have to go to the bathroom urgently." After saying this, Old Yan covered his stomach and walked away.
Wenren Yuebai lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Why should I be angry with you?"
"Oh, I wanted to explain it to you clearly that day!" Qiao Youyou squatted down, looked up at him with sincere eyes.
"I really wasn't hiding from you that day because I was worried about your bone poison infecting me."
Qiao Youyou squatted on the ground, and moved her toes forward a little, until her chin almost touched Wenren Yuebai's arm.
"Look, I'm so close to you. I'm not afraid at all!"
The back of his hand could almost feel the breath coming out of her nose. Wen Ren Yuebai's eyes trembled slightly and his body stiffened slightly.
He looked away, "Then why did you..."
Qiao Youyou blinked, and her pretty and bright face looked a little distressed.
"Actually, it's because... well, I didn't know how painful it would be when the bone poison attacks. It was only because of your medicine blanket that day that I learned about it from the doctor.
Xiaobai, I know you must be feeling very bad even though you don't say it. I regard you as a very good friend, but as a friend, I can't help you at all.
Maybe I should comfort you, but I know that I have never experienced that kind of pain, so I am not qualified to say that I can empathize with you. Maybe you are tired of hearing those meaningless words of comfort..."
Qiao Youyou frowned and her voice suddenly dropped a few notches.
"I was actually hiding from you that day because I was so sad and didn't know how to face you."
Wenren Yuebai was stunned.
He never thought that this was the reason.
He never thought that one day someone would say such words to him.
Wenren Yuebai looked at Qiao Youyou's face full of distress. The originally bright sunshine around her had dimmed at some point. It turned out that a dark cloud floated in the sky and covered the sun.
He couldn't help but raise his wrist slightly, but finally withdrew his hand with restraint.
"Ahem, Miss Qiao." Wenren Yuebai coughed and changed the subject, "What were you doing in Master Min's room just now?"
Qiao Youyou finally came back to her senses from her emotions, tilted her head, looked into Wenren Yuebai's eyes and said:
"Just say you're not angry anymore, and I'll tell you."
"I didn't have any..."
"I don't care. Just say you're not angry anymore. And don't get angry easily in the future." Qiao Youyou looked at him stubbornly.
Wenren Yuebai looked at her for a moment, finally gave in, and repeated what she said.
"That's right!"
The dark clouds were blown away by the wind, and the warm sunshine shone on the two of them again.
"I just--" Qiao Youyou looked around, stood up, and leaned over to whisper in Wenren Yuebai's ear.
Wenren Yuebai's breathing stagnated for a moment.
Qiao Youyou whispered something, and Wenren Yuebai's eyes widened slightly.
"Are you sure about this?" Wenren Yuebai turned sideways and asked her very seriously.
Qiao Youyou nodded solemnly, then asked in confusion: "Hey, why are your ears red?"
Wenren Yuebai hurriedly said that it was nothing, it was just that the sun was too strong and it was hot.
Qiao Youyou said "Oh" without any doubt.
Wenren Yuebai showed a worried look on his face, "Even if you are sure of this matter, the price..."
Qiao Youyou stood up straight and said "Pooh" softly at Min Yuan's door.
"Humph, I've had enough of this bastard government office. Since Min is determined to make things difficult for me, then we're all going to have a hard time!"
