Meng Zhaojun followed behind Gu Nanyan. After coaxing her lord to sleep, the lord decisively left the room. She knew who would go there next.
They were from different generations and had no interaction whatsoever, yet they made a bet.
"My lord." Meng Zhaojun handed over a cup of warm tea, but Gu Nanyan waved his hand and poured himself a cup of cold water.
Today, for convenience, she wore a sleeveless shirt, her hands gripping a water glass, her veins bulging.
"It's alright, you and Feng You can make the arrangements. Let me stay here alone and have some peace and quiet." His left hand moved quickly as he twirled the prayer beads, his voice calm.
"Yes." Meng Zhaojun bowed and quickly withdrew.
At this moment, Gu Nanyan needed to be alone.
The moment Meng Zhaojun left, Gu Nanyan slumped into his chair, wiping his face with his hand.
An'an, my An'an...
Shen Beian was sleeping soundly in his dream. Perhaps due to the calming incense and music, all the worries of real life completely disappeared in his dream.
In his dream, Shen Beian looked at a room full of desserts and all kinds of figurines and was so excited that he almost cried.
Anyway, dreams are all fake, and I won't have a toothache, and Yan Yan won't know either, so I can eat whatever I want!
Just as Master Shen was about to indulge in the delicious food, he suddenly heard someone call him "Master Wu".
Those who call him by his name are mostly strangers; since they are strangers, he can simply ignore them.
Therefore, Master Shen did not pay much attention at first and picked up a small plate to prepare some snacks.
But the sound just wouldn't stop.
"Stop yelling! Aren't you annoying me?!" Master Shen suddenly sat up from his sleep, his face full of anger.
The bedside lamp had been turned on at some point, and a young man sat beside the bed, brewing tea in the dim light of the lamp…
The man noticed that Shen Bei'an had woken up and handed him the tea that had been prepared earlier, saying, "Fifth Master is awake. Have some tea."
Shen Beian looked up following the direction of the hand.
Although the light was dim, it was still relatively easy to see a person's face clearly.
Microscopic age!
Shen Bei'an's eyes widened suddenly, and his voice became shrill, "Why are you here!"
The security system here goes without saying; he has a whole bunch of people protecting him.
Why did Weisheng come in?
Wait, how does he know that I am Shen Bei'an?
Shen Bei'an couldn't help but touch her face; her makeup hadn't smudged.
Seeing that Shen Bei'an did not accept the tea, Wei Shengsui simply put the tea aside, pressed a button, and the curtains slowly opened, letting in the sunlight.
Scattered here and there, the raindrops fell on him, casting his shadow on the wooden floor.
"Fifth Master, there's no need to be surprised that I know your and the eldest son's identities. Although you two have managed to fool many people with your disguises, these disguises are rather fake." He seemed to know what Shen Bei'an was talking about and explained in a very "kind" way.
Shen Bei'an did not receive any goodwill from Wei Shengsui's "kind explanation," and only felt that he was watching a show.
She even stepped back, unwilling to pay him any attention.
Despite Shen Bei'an's somewhat resistant attitude, Wei Shengsui remained unperturbed, his face still bearing a gentle smile. "It seems that the eldest son didn't show the chip in the dried flowers I gave to Fifth Master."
The voice was soft and gentle, stating a fact.
Shen Bei'an frowned. Was this person trying to sow discord?
His wife has her own reasons for not letting him see it, so what does it have to do with him?
Master Shen ignored him, simply pulled the thin blanket up a bit, and placed a soft pillow under the headboard. He knew he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Let him talk if he wants to.
Can you please finish what you're saying and leave quickly?
Hopefully, when he falls asleep again, he can return to that room!
"Since the eldest son won't show it to Fifth Master, I'll accompany Fifth Master to see it once, is that alright?" Although it was a question, Wei Shengsui didn't give Shen Bei'an a chance to answer or a choice.
I don't know what she was doing, but she drew the curtains.
Master Shen is about to start cursing.
This person is toxic!
I just opened the curtains and now I've closed them again; it definitely didn't take more than three minutes.
That's just crazy.
Since his wife wouldn't let him see, there must be a reason. Shen Beian slipped away and tried to go back to sleep.
"Fifth Master, guess why I was able to come in?" Wei Shengsui noticed Shen Bei'an's subtle movements and spoke again.
This time, Shen Beian was completely wide awake.
Yan Yan wanted him to see it.
Shen Beian simply got up, put on his boots, and picked up the outer robe next to him to put it on.
"Come on, let your performance begin."
I pulled up the most comfortable chair, grabbed a cup of herbal tea and a plate of snacks.
They looked like spectators at a play.
"Fifth Master, it's best not to eat right now." Wei Shengsui placed a small wooden bucket beside Shen Bei'an without making a sound, seemingly implying something.
Master Shen rolled his eyes. "If you're going to let it go, then let it go now. If you're not, I'm going to go back to sleep."
"I can't be bothered with your petty squabbles."
Fifth Master's tone seemed relaxed, but his hand under his wide sleeves was about to crush the medicinal pill.
Wei Shengsui's smile deepened as a huge screen appeared in front of Shen Bei'an.
Wei Sheng Sui placed a note under a teacup, saying, "Fifth Master, please take your time reading this. I'll take my leave now."
He was genuinely curious to see how Fifth Master would compare to how he remembered everything back then.
He would be very sad if such a lovely girl, who resembles Frenda, went mad.
After saying this, Wei Shengsui left, just as he had come without attracting anyone's attention.
