After Xie Zhiyuan finished speaking, he slammed the door shut, leaving Xie Zhiyao alone outside. The dust falling from the doorway made it clear just how angry the kid was. He probably really wasn't going to let his big brother eat.
Seeing this, Wang Yue figured the kid might run off again. He shook his head helplessly and kindly reminded Xie Zhiyao, "Your brother looks furious. He probably came back from Kunming because of this. Now he knows everyone in the village knows, too. Maybe he'll run off again tomorrow, so you'd better keep an eye on him."
Xie Zhiyao had felt embarrassed to be shut outside by his little brother in front of an outsider, and was about to go push the door open.
But when he heard Wang Yue, he stopped without thinking. He still wasn't sure whether his brother would really run off, so he said uncertainly, "How long can people keep talking about a little kid wetting his pants? Everyone's so busy. Surely nobody's that bored?"
Seeing that Xie Zhiyao wasn't taking his advice, Wang Yue said no more and turned to head downstairs. After all, that wasn't his brother. He'd already done enough by saying something.
Xie Zhiyao had been hoping Wang Yue would analyze the situation a little more, but Wang Yue unexpectedly turned and left, leaving him frustrated. He glanced at the closed door, knowing it wouldn't open anytime soon, then thought for a moment and went outside.
After going downstairs, Wang Yue hurried to take a shower and change into fresh clothes. He went back to get his phone, and when he came out again, he saw Xie Zhiyao at Youfeng Courtyard, chatting with Ma Qiushan alongside Xu Hongdou.
Wang Yue felt rather frustrated at the sight, though he didn't show it.
