Xie Shu nodded slightly when he heard that. He was about to step into the attic when he suddenly noticed Xi Mo standing there, as if to say... he was waiting for him outside.
Xie Shu didn't expect this. After all, Xi Mo had been by his side these days. And because of Xi Mo's presence, Xie Shu didn't feel lost in this strange world.
Seeing Xie Shu looking at him with slightly raised eyebrows, Xi Mo's heart trembled. He tried hard to put on a pleasant smile on his face, but his feet remained motionless.
He had just asked the sister here and knew that Master Yu happened to be free today. This was a rare opportunity, and he must not disturb his master and Master Yu from being alone together.
Xie Shu withdrew his gaze silently. Well, sooner or later he would have to adapt to his current self.
However, when he stepped into the attic, Xie Shu felt a rare sense of inexplicable nervousness.
Seeing Xie Shu walk in, several maids who opened the door for him glanced at him secretly.
Xie Shu had encountered many such situations in modern times, but this time, he felt something completely different. The maids looked at him with a hint of contempt...
Judging from their reluctant way of addressing them, this was not Xie Shu's illusion, but Xie Shu knew what was going on, so he just smiled and didn't care.
In fact, there was a reason why these maids acted like this. In the past three years, Xie Shu had come to see Mr. Yu only a few times, and even when he came, it was for other purposes.
I heard that Xie Shu fell into the water a few days ago, and now he is coming to find Yu Chuxi. I guess he has some big plan.
If it weren't for Xi Mo's kind words just now, and the fact that Xie Shu was indeed Yu Chuxi's nominal husband, they would not have dared to refuse without authorization.
But there is another way.
Several maids led Xie Shu to a small room nearby and said in a cold tone, "Mr. Xie, Mr. Yu is busy in the study. He will come to see you when he is done. I wonder if Mr. Xie can wait in time?"
These words were actually very hurtful. After all, although Yu Chuxi was now the young master of the Yu family, in the eyes of many outsiders, he was Shuang'er, and it was difficult to convince the public. What's more, Yu Chuxi was Xie Shu's husband. As for the latter sentence, it added fuel to the fire.
They thought that after saying this, Xie Shu would be furious and leave in anger, but to their surprise, Xie Shu looked calm and nodded in agreement, saying, "It's my fault for not informing you in advance. It doesn't matter if you have something to do. I'll just wait here."
Xie Shu said this sincerely. The other party was the young master of the family and must be very busy. He had come here just to thank him, so what was the harm in waiting a little longer?
They didn't expect Xie Shu to have this attitude. Several maids looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In fact, they were not mean people, they just wanted to protect Yu Chuxi.
Xie Shu didn't care what these maids were thinking. After he sat down, he began to look around.
Unlike the spacious and elegant residence he had, this place was more luxurious and elegant.
There is a long couch made of nanmu wood and decorated with gold threads in the hall, and on the couch is a desk made of small-leaf sandalwood, on which there are incense boxes, tea bowls, and several porcelain vases with bouquets of seasonal flowers.
Xie Shu lowered his eyes and admired silently.
At this time, one of the maids hesitated for a moment, poured him a cup of tea, and then turned and left.
After the few people left, Xie Shu also stood up and looked around. Soon, his eyes were attracted by a painting hanging on the wall.
Xie Shu sometimes paints, but he has little free time in modern times. However, his ability to appreciate paintings is not weak.
The painting on the wall was done with ink, and it depicted peach blossoms in the mountains. Although only a few strokes were used to lightly outline the shapes, one could see that the peach branches were graceful and the peach blossoms were enchanting, with quite a bit of charm.
Xie Shu's eyes fell on the bottom of the painting, where the name of the person who signed the painting was written. The handwriting was very small, and Xie Shu could barely make out the three words: Yu Chuxi.
Just as Xie Shu was lost in thought, he did not notice a figure in moon-white with a blue-patterned hem stepping into the side room.
Until a voice like broken jade suddenly sounded behind him, the tone was neither light nor heavy, like rime in the sea of clouds, unpredictable: "Xie Shu."
Xie Shu came back to his senses and his heart skipped a beat.
He turned around and first smelled a faint fragrance on his sleeves. The fragrance was different from the incense box and flowers on the table, but it was somewhat familiar. It reminded him of a few days ago when he vaguely smelled that smell, but he didn't have time to remember it at the time.
As for the fact that the other person had fragrance on him, Xie Shu would not find it strange. After all, a gentleman wears fragrance. In addition to all the previous things, Xie Shu had already roughly formed an impression of the person in front of him in his mind.
But when Xie Shu really saw Yu Chuxi's appearance with his own eyes, it was still beyond his expectations.
I saw that the other person's facial features were beautiful and almost bright, his eyebrows were like ink, his lips were like red, and his long hair was as black as satin and tied at the edge of his clothes, which made his skin look as white as jade.
He had a handsome appearance and a tall and slender figure, without a trace of femininity, except for the red mole below his deep phoenix eyes that gave him a hint of brilliance.
Xie Shu couldn't help but keep his gaze on the corner of his eye for a while longer. When he woke up that day, the first thing he saw was the red mole.
Yu Chuxi looked back calmly, feeling indescribably strange.
In fact, it was a very rude act to be looked at by someone on his red mole like this. Moreover, considering the real relationship between Xie Shu and him, for some reason, Yu Chuxi did not feel displeased by the abruptness. Perhaps it was because this person's eyes were clear and pure, as if they showed a kind of...pure appreciation.
However, Yu Chuxi soon found his idea incredible.
Although he and Xie Shu had met only a handful of times in the past three years, he knew very well what kind of person Xie Shu was.
Yu Chuxi had already anticipated the other party's purpose of coming this time...
Thinking of this, Yu Chuxi narrowed his eyes slightly and his fingertips lightly brushed the cold and soft paper on his sleeves.
At this time, Xie Shu had already retracted his gaze, just missing the ups and downs of light and shadow that passed by those phoenix eyes.
Xie Shu just considered the wording in his mind. He was not sure what kind of relationship he should be considered to Yu Chuxi, and what the rules were for this address, but it was almost the same as everyone else.
"Young Master" sounds a bit solemn, and "Mr. Yu" is better, but it is too unfamiliar. It would be better to omit the surname and just call him "Mr. Lang".
So Xie Shu said, "I came here this time to thank you personally."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chuxi's eyebrows twitched slightly.
Xie Shu continued, "I have been seriously ill these past few days, and luckily you have taken care of me. If you hadn't invited Doctor Zhang for me and taken such good care of me, I would have been bedridden for several more days. I am deeply grateful."
After Xie Shu finished speaking, he did not expect any special reaction from Yu Chuxi. After all, his thanks were just verbal words, and he believed that the other party knew what he meant.
But Xie Shu didn't expect Yu Chuxi to remain silent.
In Xie Shu's opinion, Yu Chuxi, as the young master, should not be so taciturn. Is there something wrong with what he just said?
Xie Shu couldn't help but look at Yu Chuxi.
Feeling Xie Shu's unignorable gaze staring at him again, Yu Chuxi reluctantly retracted his thoughts.
What on earth is this person doing?
Yu Chuxi should have been impatient with such empty words, but he found it somewhat amusing. He chuckled and said, "It's okay. Come to think of it, this is your first time to say thank you."
There is actually a lot of pressure in these words.
Xie Shu had heard it, but before that, he had already made some guesses about the original body, so he was not surprised to see others have a bad attitude just now.
But when Yu Chuxi curled his lips and smiled, Xie Shu couldn't help but reveal a warm smile, and he said softly: "Then I will thank you in the future."
Yu Chuxi paused and didn't know how to answer.
This was something he had never experienced before. What was going on with the person in front of him?
After a while, when Xie Shu conveyed Doctor Zhang's words, he was ready to leave.
Before this, Xie Shu said goodbye to Yu Chuxi. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Yu Chuxi seemed to have something to say to him, but in the end, he didn't say it.
After Xie Shu left, Yu Chuxi returned to the study.
However, he did not start writing immediately. His slender jade-white fingertips tapped lightly on the table, his eyes dropped downward, and the flickering light and shadow around him made his face look even more beautiful.
Yu Chuxi thought of the scene just now, and his expression became thoughtful. Finally, after closing the things in the cabinet, he picked up the red brush that he had placed on the inkstone.
The ink had dried, and he used the tip of the pen to moisten the brush bit by bit.
Not long after, a man knocked on the door quietly, then pushed it open and walked in, then respectfully handed the account book in his hand to the desk.
Yu Chuxi didn't even look up, he just waved his hand casually and asked people to leave.
The man was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Young Master, there is one more thing. Just now, Mr. Xie's people came to the account office to withdraw medicine. You said before that once the people over there get better, you don't have to care about it anymore, so I refused."
This person was none other than Manager Wang of the warehouse. Actually, there was nothing much to say about this matter. After all, anyone who knew the inside story knew what the situation was between their young master and the scholar Xie who married into the family.
What's more, Yu Chuxi had already given the order a few days ago.
However, Yu Chuxi's reputation in the Yu family is growing day by day, and Manager Wang couldn't help but want to curry favor with him, so he mentioned him in front of him.
Just as Butler Wang was secretly waiting for Yu Chuxi's response, he suddenly heard Yu Chuxi's voice, which was slightly cold and indifferent: "Take the initiative and send it to him again."
Butler Wang couldn't help but tremble all over, regretting in his heart, but who could he go to for justice...
After a moment, Yu Chuxi remembered something and chuckled, saying in a playful tone, "Forget it, find something better and I'll deliver it myself."
