Mei Ya was startled, and the corners of her mouth that were originally upturned gradually tightened. She really didn't want to go back. She couldn't pretend that she didn't see anything, but she really didn't dare to question Zhong Mingwei in person. If Zhong Mingwei said something, it would be a bolt from the blue. She really couldn't live, so she really didn't dare to go back. She stayed at Chen Qingxuan's place for a whole day. But now it was dark, did she really have to continue hiding? What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? How long would she hide?
…
"If you don't want to go back, then live here." Chen Qingxuan looked at Meiya's helpless face, and his heart ached. He paused and said, "There is a ready-made room here. Just bring the bed and quilt over. It's not a hassle at all."
Meiya raised her head and looked at Chen Qingxuan: "Mr. Chen. You..."
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Meiya's words. Meiya shut up and looked at the door that was being knocked "bang bang" at the same time as Chen Qingxuan.
"Mr. Chen. Are you home?" Pang Yi's voice came in.
Chen Qingxuan glanced at Mei Ya and whispered, "Do you want to hide in the room first?"
Chen Qingxuan and Mei Ya naturally knew why Pang Yi came back to Jixian Bookstore at this time.
Meiya was busy shaking her head, but she was stunned again. No matter how much she didn't want to go back and no matter how much she didn't want to face Zhong Mingwei, she was still thinking about him in her heart and wanted to go back as soon as possible.
Why is she so... useless?
Mei Ya curled her lips and gave a bitter smile.
Chen Qingxuan's eyes dimmed. Even though he was unwilling in his heart, he still stood up, walked over and opened the door.
"Mr. Chen, have you seen my wife? My wife is..." As soon as the door was opened, Pang Yi suddenly came in, asking anxiously while looking inside. As soon as he saw Mei Ya sitting at the table, Pang Yi was surprised and happy. He ran over hurriedly, wiped the sweat off his face, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Madam, why didn't you tell me you were here? I was so worried!"
"I passed by when I was going down the mountain, so I thought of coming in to see Grandma Chen. I haven't seen her for a long time." Mei Ya glanced at Pang Yi, then turned her head away. She stood up and said goodbye to Chen Qingxuan, "Mr. Chen, I'll go back first and visit again another day."
"It's dark and the roads are slippery, take it with you," Chen Qingxuan hurriedly took a lantern, lit a candle and put it inside, and handed it to Mei Ya while whispering, "Be careful on the road."
"Yes, thank you Mr. Chen." Mei Ya nodded, holding the lantern, and followed Pang Yi out the door.
Chen Qingxuan stood in front of the door and watched Pang Yi take the lantern and hang it on the carriage. He then watched Pang Yi help Mei Ya get on the carriage. Then he turned around, waved to him, and drove away in the carriage.
Gradually, the carriage disappeared from view, and only a little orange-red jumping light could be seen, moving upwards along the mountain road.
Chen Qingxuan stared at the spark of fire until it disappeared, then he turned around and went back to his room.
The silence in the room was so quiet that it made people breathless. It was obviously not like this just now. The girl was sitting next to him, smiling and drinking tea sip by sip.
Chen Qingxuan stared at the teacup on the table in a daze for a long time. Then he picked up the cup and sipped the remaining half cup of sweet and greasy tea.
…
"Madam, why did you go to Jixian Book House without saying anything? You made me so anxious," Pang Yi said to Meiya while driving the carriage, "I started to get anxious when you didn't come back after noon. I went to the market to look for you twice but still couldn't find you. I was so anxious that I asked my subordinates to go to Jixian Book House to take a look. As expected, I guessed right. You are really in Jixian Book House." Pang Yi thought about Zhong Mingwei's anxious look today and threw things. He was still frightened. Zhong Mingwei has always been patient and restrained. Even when he was angry, he never threw things. But today, Zhong Mingwei was like crazy, throwing and smashing things. Pang Yi was a little worried about Meiya, and turned to Meiya and said, "Madam, I am a little angry today. Please be more patient and don't fan the flames."
"He... is angry?" Meiya asked in a low voice.
