Now that he had already thought of the arrangements for the first step, Fengming couldn't help but yawn, stood up and told everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.
Although she could arrange for Ye Xuwen to take people to arrange the investigation today, everyone has traveled all the way here. As the boss, she is so tired without having to worry about anything. She must be tired as well for being responsible for protecting and arranging matters along the way. She can't just exploit Xiao Baicai like this.
Tuanan saw that Fengming wanted to stay and talk to Xin Wu, so he kindly asked everyone else to leave and go back to their rooms to rest. Before leaving, he even gave Fengming a cup of hot tea.
After everyone else left, Feng Ming walked over to Xin Wu, who had been silent the entire time, and sat down. He straightened Xin Wu's shoulders with both hands, allowing her to look at him face to face.
"Xin Wu, cheer up. Your brother is alive and well now, and we've arrived in Mingcheng. You don't have to blame yourself."
Xin Wu looked up at Xin Wu in surprise. She was indeed blaming herself. The moment she saw her brother, she realized how selfish she was.
For more than three years, she had been hiding like a turtle in the safe nest that Fengming had created for her, not daring to extend even a little bit of her tentacles outside. Apart from inquiring about her brother's whereabouts, she had not done anything else.
Although she saw her brother today with a servant and well-dressed, how had he been living in the past three years? Had he suffered any hardship, been bullied, or been hurt? He was still so young and at the age that needed protection, but she had never dared to come back to find him. She was really too selfish and was not a competent sister.
Xin Wu was becoming more and more devastated the more she thought about it. She had been able to hold herself together and not show her self-blame in front of others. But now Feng Ming saw through her thoughts. With just one word, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears in Feng Ming's arms again.
Fengming hugged her and didn't say much to persuade her. He just patted her back gently and offered her a shoulder to lean on.
After crying for a long time, Xin Wucai slowly stopped crying, but was still sobbing a little.
Wiping away tears, Xin Wu looked at Feng Ming with some embarrassment and gratitude.
"Does crying make you feel better?"
"Yes, thank you."
Fengming poked Xin Wu's forehead with a finger. Xin Wu, with red eyes, looked at Fengming innocently and simply, not quite understanding why she suddenly wanted to poke him.
"You, why are you so worried? You always blame yourself for everything. Was it you who caused your brother to fall into the water? You've been sending people to look for him for the past few years. You've done the best you could, and you were badly injured. I still remember the long knife wound on your back when I rescued you..."
Feng Ming stretched out his arms and measured their length in an exaggerated way. Xin Wu couldn't help laughing.
"Laughing? You're still laughing. You don't know that the imperial physician said you couldn't be saved. You already had such a severe knife wound, and you were soaked in ice-cold water for so long. I'm afraid you were already on the verge of death."
"Yes, thanks to you, Princess, for finding the miracle doctor."
Xin Wu recalled that time when she was holding Xin Wei and was forced to the bow of the boat by Sheng Jicheng. She was in great pain from the knife wound that cut from her shoulder to her waist. In the end, she had no choice but to jump off the boat. The river water was so icy cold that even now, every time she woke up in the middle of the night, she still felt the pain in her bones.
"You know, don't think too much. Your life belongs to me, and you have to continue to work like a slave for me to pay off your debt. We just arranged the publication of the book, and we haven't had time to arrange the magazine yet. You still have a lot of things to do, so don't think of crying and being lazy!"
Fengming deliberately acted fierce, like a wicked landlord bullying innocent people. Xin Wu's expression finally cleared up, no longer as depressed as when he first returned to the inn, as if mushrooms were about to grow on his face.
"Okay, don't overthink it. There are so many of us here, don't be afraid. You must be tired after all this journey, so get some sleep and rest. I'll call you when it's time for dinner."
Feng Ming left Xin Wu's room and couldn't help but turn back to remind him, "You must sleep. Don't think about it."
Xin Wu nodded, feeling both moved and amused, and promised that he would have a good rest. Feng Ming then left with peace of mind and considerately closed the door.
Fengming couldn't help but rub his shoulders that were sore from Xin Wukao, and he also planned to go back and lie down to sleep for a while. He was so tired after this day.
Who knew that when I turned around I would bump into someone.
"Hey, excuse me...Tunan? Why are you still here? Didn't you go back and rest?"
It turned out to be Tu Nan who was still waiting for Feng Ming outside Xin Wumen. She thought he had already returned to his room to rest.
"I'm waiting for you. I miss you. You haven't even spoken to me properly today."
Fengming blushed a little, watching Tunan acting coquettishly. This guy was too clingy, saying sweet words all the time. He made her blush every day, but she felt very comfortable in her heart. Girls are really strange and charming creatures.
"Well, what do you want to say? Weren't we just together?"
"Can……"
Tuanan didn't know what to say. He had such a cool and handsome face, but he made a coquettish and aggrieved expression like a loyal little wolfdog.
Fengming's heart softened for some reason, he leaned forward, raised his head, stepped on tiptoe, and kissed Tunan on the lips!
thump…
thump…
thump…
The world was very quiet, with only the noise of pedestrians coming from far away. Fengming could clearly hear his own heartbeat and Tunan's heartbeat.
Tunan's lips were soft and a little cool. The weather wasn't cold recently, so why did he feel a little cold?
Fortunately, I have been drinking more water and taking better care of my lips recently, so there is no dead skin on my lips. Everything is fine.
Oh, will he think I’m too short? I’m standing on tiptoe. Will he feel his neck is sore?
…
Fengming has a lot of thoughts in his mind, and Tunan is no worse, but his are simpler.
She kissed me
Kiss me
I'm
Got it
…
Crunch~
Feng Ming came to his senses when he heard the sound of a door opening. He quickly took two steps back and his hand unconsciously touched his lips.
Her face flushed red as she looked up at Tunan, who had an innocent and bewildered expression. He was as stiff as a log, staring blankly at Fengming's face.
"Hey, sister, Tunan, what are you doing standing in the corridor? Don't you want to rest?"
Feng Xiyun was a little hungry. It was the middle of the afternoon and he was at the age where a young boy could eat his father out of poverty. He had almost finished his lunch and couldn't sleep, so he thought about going out to find something to eat.
As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Fengming and Tunan standing face to face like two big fools made of clay.
"Ah? Ah! Nothing... nothing, let's talk about something. What are you doing? Aren't you resting?"
"Oh, I'm hungry. I'm going out to find something to eat. Do you want to join me?"
"No, I'm not hungry. I'm going back to rest."
Feng Ming's heartbeat was calm when he kissed Tu Nan, but now that he was frightened by Feng Xiyun, his heart was beating like a drum and he was a little at a loss for what to do.
