As Inner Academy was gradually shrouded in darkness, the streets were lit with soft candlelight.
Yao Wan waited a little impatiently.
As for who to wait for, it is naturally Qing Lin.
... You can't possibly be waiting for that guy, right?
After a while, she heard crisp footsteps coming from outside the door.
When she heard footsteps breaking the silence of the night, she couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come back?"
Yao Wan turned around, looked at Qing Lin who was leading Xiao Yan back casually, and said.
Those pale golden eyes seemed to have inadvertently glanced at Xiao Yan who came back with Qing Lin, and said with half disgust and half indifference, "——Why did you get back a pendant?"
Xiao Yan's heart froze when he saw Yao Wan opening his mouth in a secretly poking and angry manner.
Qing Lin After listening to the young lady's words, it was clear that Young Master Xiao Yan was afraid that he was sad today, so she could only secretly give him a wishful look, and then silently stepped aside to bring tea and water.
Yao Lao's snickering came to his ears. Xiao Yan luckily felt relieved and thought that his life had never been in vain.
"... Can you give me a chance to explain?"
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but say.
"Explanation?"
Yao Wan laughed in anger.
"I don't dare ask you for an explanation. After all, I can't compare to your childhood sweetheart."
"I think it's hard for you to be caught in the middle, so I don't want to get to know her... Tsk."
Speaking of this, Yao Wan couldn't talk any more.
She was simply angry that Xiao Xun'er applied eye drops in front of her.
Seeing Yao Wan's reaction, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Obviously, Wan Guniang's mood was not as bad as he thought.
After being able to confirm this, Xiao Yan gradually relaxed. Based on his understanding of Wan Guniang, since Wan Guniang didn't really get angry, there was nothing to worry about.
"...Xun'er She hasn't seen me for a while, and she's a bit clingy."
Xiao Yan thought for a moment, and then defended.
"Then you asked her to put eye drops on me?"
Yao Wan is still a little worried, and her fussy look doesn't look like her usual self at all.
"... There's nothing we can do about it."
Xiao Yan said helplessly, "After all, she doesn't know what kind of relationship we had before. Maybe she associates us with...?"
He shrugged and hinted at Yao Wan with his eyes. Yao Wan immediately understood and understood what Xiao Yan meant.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Xun'er, who has no ability to watch a man, is here to attack indiscriminately.
Although I was still unhappy, Xiao Yan's reasons and motivations did convince Yao Wan. Thinking about it, Xiao Xun'er is a hidden yandere. There is no reason why she can still laugh when she is so close to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan secretly rejoiced in his heart. He didn't expect that this statement that he had resisted subtly could still be used in this way.
"Hehehe, does the method I taught you work?"
Yao Lao's laughter echoed in Xiao Yan's ears. Although he already admired the teacher in his heart, Xiao Yan was being stared at by Yao Wan at the moment. If he casually talked to Yao Lao, he might be discovered. It was a matter of life and death, and a scolding would definitely be inevitable.
It's not like Xiao Yan has any special hobbies. Even if Wan Guniang scolds him, he can still take care of himself. Naturally, it's better to spend less time in front of her.
Xiao Yan's answer somewhat brought Yao Wan back to his senses, and his resentment towards him naturally disappeared.
"Well, then according to this, can I still blame you wrongly?"
"Of course it won't be..."
Xiao Yan just said sincerely, "It's just that people always have impulses, right?"
Xiao Yan's words were naturally meant to be flattering, but he was also trying to find a suitable reason for Xun'er's behavior, and he was subtly giving Yao Wan a step down.
The fact that Heavenly Flame Refining Gas Tower would cause such a thing has nothing to do with him. If it weren't for him, Xun'er and Wan Guniang wouldn't have been at odds with each other. He couldn't have done anything wrong, right?
"... Hmph."
Yao Wan snorted lightly and said nothing more, just thinking that Xiao Yan got through.
At the same time, Qing Lin also came to Xiao Yan and Yao Wan with two cups of tea. While putting down the tea in his hands, he couldn't help but cast a hidden smile at Xiao Yan.
"You've worked hard today Qing Lin. You should go back and rest first. You haven't grown up yet. It's good for your child to go to bed early."
Yao Wan said.
"No, I have to collect the tea from Miss and Young Master Xiao Yan later."
Qing Lin naturally does not want to fall asleep before the lady. How can a maid go to bed earlier than her master?
"Well, isn't there a living person here? Anyway, he will solve it in a while."
Yao Wan took a sip of the slightly hot tea and said while looking at Xiao Yan in front of him.
Xiao Yan smiled, but did not object, so he said, "Okay, Qing Lin, go and have a good rest. I am here. You have worked really hard today."
"It's not hard. As long as Miss and Young Master Xiao Yan are doing well, Qing Lin will be happy."
Qing Lin smiled sweetly. It was the happiest thing for her to see that the young lady and Young Master Xiao Yan could resolve the misunderstanding. So why bother talking about the hard work?
But since the young lady and Young Master Xiao Yan both insisted on going back to rest, Qing Lin naturally had no choice but to go back to his room to rest.
After Qing Lin left, only Xiao Yan and Yao Wan were left sitting on the edge of the stone table in the huge yard. Under the soft light, their eyes were filled with each other.
Xiao Yan and Yao Wan had a tacit understanding and did not break the silence between them at this moment, but just silently enjoyed the peace and tranquility at this moment.
Until the teacup at hand was bottomed out, Xiao Yan just put the teacup back on the table and was not in a hurry to leave.
When Yao Wan saw that Xiao Yan had not left yet, he couldn't help but said, "What's wrong? Now Xun'er, who is not afraid of you, is jealous?"
... Aren't you afraid that before you go back, the jealousy in front of you will be overturned?
Xiao Yan couldn't help but secretly thought, but he would never say these words even if he died.
Otherwise, Wan Guniang would most likely either be silenced or use the stone hammer that knocked Dou Zong to death to delete part of his memory.
"... It's okay."
Xiao Yan shook his head slightly and didn't explain any more. It would be wrong to say more, so he had better control his mouth.
Seeing Xiao Yan shaking his head, Yao Wan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Since it's okay to stay a little longer, then Xiao Yan you might as well stay with me today."
"Huh?"
When Xiao Yan heard Yao Wan say this, his first reaction was surprise, and his second reaction was fright.
Needless to say, surprise, but as for the shock - Xiao Yan can completely imagine how Xun'er's face would turn black if he spent the night directly here at Wan Guniang.
I'm afraid I have to come here tomorrow and tear down the roof.
Xiao Yan's reaction was not at all what Yao Wan expected. Instead, she smiled and said, "What's the matter? You're not happy?"
"Of course I would be happy to change the time..."
Xiao Yan showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Haha... then do you think this is possible?"
Yao Wan showed a touching smile, but the background of those pale golden eyes was full of chill.
Xiao Yan's heart felt cold, my life was at risk!
"Don't worry. When soldiers come, we will block you. When water comes, we will cover you up. Even if Xiao Xun'er comes to your door, it won't be your head. What are you afraid of?"
Yao Wan shrugged his shoulders, full of indifference.
"Didn't Wan Guniang say that he doesn't want to conflict with Xun'er?"
"Well, I did say that, but it was a day ago. I have changed my mind now, can't I?"
Under the soft light, the person's smile was as bright as a flower, but compared to her previous temperament, which was erratic and indifferent to the world, Yao Wan at this moment obviously has a bit of irresistible aggression.
And this is indeed what Yao Wan really thinks.
Others have bullied her, and they still expect her to be magnanimous? Think of her as a living Bodhisattva.
I haven't settled the issue with her when I sent people to spy on me in the imperial capital. I thought that I am too broad-minded to care about you, a girl who is not yet fully developed, so I didn't think of quarreling with her. It's good for her that they all came to give her eye drops! Who are you doing it for?
Since she doesn't want to talk properly, Yao Wan naturally can't be more polite to her.
You're the only female passer-by who had the backdrop of your home stolen in the end, and you still have the nerve to mess with me? Later, I will ask Xiao Yan to find a big one and let you make a small one. From now on, I will serve tea and pour water every day!
After pouring out all the thoughts in his heart, Yao Wan couldn't help but look at Xiao Yan and said, "I don't care about you anymore, but this doesn't mean that Xiao Xun'er can be written off from me."
"Isn't she very bold? Come on, who is afraid of whom?"
The night was getting darker, and Inner Academy also fell into a light sleep at the end of the day.
However, Xiao Xun'er couldn't sleep no matter what.
She just sat quietly by the window, looking at the silent streets and empty doors with the help of the stars in the night and the scattered lights under the streets.
"...Xiao Yan Gege really didn't come back."
Xiao Xun'er whispered subconsciously and said.
"Miss."
A black figure stood quietly in front of the door, seemingly waiting for Xiao Xun'er's order.
"She is trying to intimidate me... The more I hate something, the more she will do it... Disgusting woman, hateful Yao Wan."
The corners of Xiao Xun'er's eyes twitched slightly. She didn't have any good impressions of the woman who took away Xiao Yan Gege.
"That lady..."
Ling Ying hesitated to speak. Even so, the lady didn't seem to be in a hurry to find trouble for Yao Clan Young Miss.
Seemingly seeing what Ling Ying was thinking, Xiao Xun'er let out a sigh of relief.
"In that case, I'd better trouble Ling Lao to keep an eye on her... but I forgive her that she won't dare to do anything to Xiao Yan Gege this night."
Xiao Xun'er tried hard to calm down as much as possible, but the pink fist was completely pale and bloodless after being squeezed by him.
"Xiao Yan, take off your clothes."
"Huh?"
