"Stop pulling and tugging!" Chen Qingxuan pushed Kong Wenmin away. He felt that Kong Wenmin always liked to make moves recently, which really annoyed him. He was also inexplicably afraid of being seen by others, especially the stereotyped Fang Kaiwen. If he was really seen by him, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"Young lady? You can't touch me?" Kong Wenmin was even more puzzled. He felt that Chen Qingxuan had been getting more and more petty in recent times. When they were in Ningguta before, Chen Qingxuan ignored him, and it was still the same now. He would not say anything if he could, but his attitude was completely different from before. In the past, he acted like a scholar. Now, it was obvious that he was just being petty. Just like a kitten scratching his paw... But he quite liked being scratched by this kitten from time to time.
Chen Qingxuan glared at Kong Wenmin fiercely, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps behind him. Chen Qingxuan and Kong Wenmin turned around and looked. Then they saw Fu Jiayou running towards them in a hurry.
"Brother Qingxuan! Guard Kong!" Fu Jiayou stopped in front of the two men, panting. He couldn't speak clearly for a long time.
"What's wrong, Brother Jiayou?" Chen Qingxuan looked at Fu Jiayou in confusion. "Is there anything serious? Is there something wrong with the Hanlin Academy?"
"No, no." Fu Jiayou shook his head, and with a smile, he fixed his eyes on Kong Wenmin. He stared at her straight, and Kong Wenmin felt uncomfortable all over. Chen Qingxuan also felt puzzled. Fu Jiayou then spoke again, "Guard Kong, you were the one who sent my brother home before the New Year, right?"
Kong Wenmin was startled: "May I ask where Brother Jiayou is from?"
"Guardian Kong, my father is the governor of Zhili," Fu Jiayou hurriedly introduced himself, "You should know my brother, right? My brother's name is Jiaheng. He went to Ningguta a few years ago and stayed at the home of Prefect Fang. Later, it was you, Guardian Kong, who sent my brother back to Zhili."
The corners of Kong Wenmin's mouth twitched: "...Fu, Fu Jiaheng is your brother?"
"Yes, yes, yes! I am Jiaheng's elder brother." Fu Jiayou was overjoyed when he saw Kong Wenmin remembered him, and then he hurriedly invited him, "Is Guard Kong free? I would like to invite Guard Kong to my humble abode for a drink, so we can chat."
Being stared at so eagerly by Fu Jiayou, Kong Wenmin looked embarrassed. He pursed his lips, then waved his hand and said, "It's really unfortunate, Mr. Fu, I have something to do today and I really can't leave."
"Then when will Guard Kong be free?" Fu Jiayou asked eagerly. Seeing Kong Wenmin still had a look of rejection on his face, he sighed silently, "To be honest, Guard Kong, I am asking this for my useless brother. Guard Kong, do you think this is okay? I will send someone back to Zhili to bring my brother to the capital. When you are free, can you sit down and chat?"
"This is not necessary, right?" Kong Wenmin was so scared when he heard that Fu Jiayou was going to bring Fu Jiaheng to the capital that he waved his hands repeatedly. He said hurriedly, "Mr. Fu, please don't misunderstand. Your brother and I are not close friends. I was just ordered by the prefect to send your brother back to Zhili. Apart from that, we have no other interactions."
"But your brother and Guard Kong hit it off right away," Fu Jiayou was desperate, thinking of his disappointing brother at home, and said through gritted teeth, "Can't Guard Kong give your brother a chance?"
The two chatted animatedly, and Chen Qingxuan couldn't get a word in. However, he understood that Fu Jiayou had a younger brother named Fu Jiaheng, who seemed to be a radical person and was obsessed with Kong Wenmin. Thinking about Fu Jiayou's sigh just now, Chen Qingxuan suddenly understood.
"I'm afraid he will never understand me in this lifetime, and I'm destined to never understand him in this lifetime."
"In fact, as long as he can live a good and happy life, as his brother, I will support him even if I don't understand. But he has to be able to settle down and not just wander around aimlessly. It always makes me worry."
