At this point in time, the only ones still in Sid's house were the master and apprentice.
Sure enough, as soon as Sid's voice fell, Silver poked his head out from the crack in the open door.
"Young gentlemen, it's so late, why are you still busy?" he said as he walked in.
And following behind him was Isaac.
Both of them had clearly just finished exercising.
Isaac was alright, only his hair was slightly damp, while Silver's shirt was soaked with sweat, and steam was visibly rising from the top of his head.
Since Sid decided to settle in Alchemy City, Silver has been making arrangements to move his family from Bethlehem to this house.
So the dusty exhibition room and painting and sculpture room on the north side of the second floor were cleaned up and converted into a sword practice hall and an audience room.
Sid had regained his composure. "I'm just very busy."
He started organizing and categorizing the messy files again.
Yun Wei saw all of this, and his lips twitched. Then he noticed that the parchment in his hand had been taken away by the knight who had come closer.
"Chronicles of Azure City..." Isaac stopped reading halfway through the title and then looked at Yun Wei.
Yun Wei then remembered that he had already read this book back in the academy.
At that time, he diligently studied all the general knowledge about the Continent of Elements, and Isaac stayed by his side. What makes it particularly memorable is that this volume contains many strange descriptions—
At that time, Yunwei specifically consulted her boyfriend, who was sitting next to her and seemed bored.
Oh wow.
He was about to explain when the other person finished rolling up the parchment and gently tapped him on the head.
"Let's go, we'll check it out when we get back."
After saying that, the other person strode confidently toward the door, as if he was certain that Yun Wei would follow.
"Hey, wait for me!" Yun Wei called out, and he indeed got up and followed.
As he passed Sid, he unsurprisingly received a complicated look from the other man.
He could only respond with the same complicated smile.
Although it was obvious that the other party had misunderstood, he had no choice but to perpetuate the mistake and reinforce the other party's stereotype.
...
If Isaac is determined to leave him behind, he will be far behind.
Fortunately, the other person gradually slowed down, and Yun Wei finally caught up with them, reaching their side on the stairs.
He couldn't help but mutter, "Why run so fast?"
Upon hearing this, the tall knight immediately stopped in his tracks.
Yun Wei took a few steps upwards out of habit, only to find himself alone. He then realized that Isaac had stopped.
The other person stood quietly on the steps, the brown ends of their hair casting a faint shadow on their face under the constant light, making it impossible for him to see their expression.
"Isa?" Yun Wei called out tentatively.
Isaac calmly replied, "Mm."
Yun Wei forced a smile and asked, "What's wrong?"
The other party remained silent.
In the distance, the sounds of Sid and the Grand Duke of Bethlehem laughing and arguing seemed to drift over, which only highlighted the cold loneliness between the two.
But no one knew what the two were doing, and suddenly it fell silent, with only some rustling sounds faintly heard.
But Yun Wei had no time to pay attention to those things at the moment; all his thoughts were on Isaac.
If Sid and his companion arrived at the stairwell and saw them standing there, frozen in place...
Yun Wei thought that he might have to prepare some excuses again.
Fortunately, Isaac has started walking again.
Yun Wei breathed a sigh of relief. When he could finally see the other person's expression, he saw that the other person was looking straight ahead without glancing to the side.
Isaac's expressionless face, revealing neither joy nor anger, made him uneasy.
Yun Wei silently followed beside the other person, keeping an eye on their steps out of the corner of his eye, trying his best to keep up with their pace.
I don't know if it was just his imagination, but when he tried to keep up with the pace of the other person, which he could usually keep up with very easily, he almost ended up moving in unison.
Climbing the stairs with the same hand and foot will naturally lead to disastrous consequences.
He instantly lost his balance, swayed, and stumbled to the side, bumping into Isaac.
In a daze, he seemed to hear the other person's barely perceptible sigh.
"Sorry—" Yun Wei was about to apologize when Isaac suddenly covered his mouth.
This is an unusually standard staircase slam.
The knight's long legs straddled two steps, assuming a powerful lunge, while his other forearm braced above his head, blocking out the already dim light.
He instinctively opened his eyes wide, only to see the other person's deep gaze again. Unlike before, he couldn't discern the other person's emotions at all.
The other person's eyes slowly rolled downwards, giving him a wink.
Yun Wei instantly understood that Isaac was telling him not to make any noise, lest he disturb the two people who were whispering sweet nothings to each other around the corner.
He blinked hard to indicate that he understood.
Seeing this, the other person finally slowly released his hand from his lips.
Yun Wei let out a soft breath. He was about to carefully climb the steps when, unexpectedly, his arm was pulled by the other person, and he fell into the other person's chest.
A familiar force suddenly came from my waist and the back of my knees.
Yun Wei was shocked to find that he had been lifted up horizontally by Isaac.
But he bit his lip tightly, trying his best to control himself from making any noise, and let the other person quietly carry him back to the guest room.
...
Yun Wei thought that the other party would throw him hard onto the bed.
However, Isaac simply bent down slightly, and once his feet touched the ground, gently lifted his waist to help him stand up.
His bent arm was unusually gentlemanly, but the distance created a sense of alienation that unsettled him.
Seeing that the other person was walking towards the window without turning around, Yun Wei quickly called out, "Isa!"
Upon hearing the sound, the knight nimbly stood at attention with his legs together, but did not turn around.
Perhaps because he had just been practicing with Silver in the fencing room, his shirt was tucked in tightly, and from behind, his waist was narrow and his figure was well-proportioned, which made his legs look even straighter.
Yun Wei looked at the tall, imposing man in front of her and suddenly shut her mouth.
He thought he really did like Isaac.
This affection goes beyond just the other person's appearance.
Since that's the case, there's no need to say anything more.
"I thought you had already come up with an explanation."
He was still in a daze when he saw the other person turn their head, revealing a resolute chin. "Yun Wei, why are you avoiding me?"
