The night finally turned completely dark.
After finishing his long day's work, Cui Yue quietly returned to the yard where the two little guys were, said hello to the guard outside, and walked in quietly.
Just as he was about to call the two little guys, he heard a faint snore coming through the slightly thick bed curtains.
Cui Yue:"..."
In an instant, the backache, backache, and leg cramps that he had habitually ignored on weekdays all came back. Cui Yue took a deep breath, and with his strong heartache for his own Prince, he briefly forgave this world where he was the only one injured.
He walked forward slowly and softly called the two sleeping little dumplings.
Lin Jinshu woke up alertly in an instant. After seeing that the person who came was Cui Yue, he showed a relieved and somewhat dependent expression, and reached out to push Jiang Yingcheng beside him.
The expression on Cui Yue's face was obviously startled. After a moment, the pain in his body was once again healed by the purest emotion in the world. His whole body felt like he was stepping on the clouds and fog, and it was so unreal and unreal.
Deep self-blame arose in his heart.
Why did you blame the two little guys just now?! They are still just children. It is normal for them to get more sleep when they are growing up!
What's wrong with them?!
"Well..."
Jiang Yingcheng also sat up, and managed to open his eyes a small slit. As soon as he saw the scene in front of him clearly, his eyes opened completely, with a tiny light shining in his eyes. "Grandpa Cui!"
Cui Yue:"..."
Cui Yue's heartbeat was erratic for a moment.
How can there be such a cute creature like a milk doll in the world!
He happily said "Yes": "Let's go, Grandpa Cui will take you to choose wood!"
The two little guys laughed with stars in their eyes, "Okay!"
Cui Yue opened the door and looked at the person guarding outside.
"Thank you for your hard work," he said with a kind smile, "The two little guys have already gone to bed. I will stay inside to keep watch at night. You guys can take turns to have a rest. We don't need so many people guarding here."
Several people in the courtyard looked at each other and laughed together, "Thank you, Uncle Cui. If anything happens later, please feel free to let us know!"
Cui Yue nodded. "Okay."
Cui Yue turned around and went back indoors. The people in the courtyard were divided into two groups, half of them went back to rest, and the other half waited for them to come back to change shifts.
Half a moment.
The door was pushed open from the inside again, and Cui Yue poked his head out with an apologetic face. "The two little guys are awake and clamoring for a midnight snack. Thank you for sending someone to Kitchen to inform them and prepare some easy-to-digest food for them."
Several people outside the door responded with a smile, and one of them quickly ran in the direction of Kitchen.
Cui Yue Thank you, return it, and close the door.
Another moment passed.
Cui Yue stuck his head out, apologetically. "Sorry, the two little guys are clamoring for a fruit drink again. Please help me make another trip."
The person guarding the door turned around, looked at the number of people in the courtyard, and nodded. "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Hard work."
Cui Yue walked back again.
Cui Yue opened the door again. "Why haven't the two people who went out earlier come back? The little ones are already so hungry that they are starting to cry. Otherwise, why don't you go out again and bring some fruits? Pastries Come back to cushion them first."
The people outside the door hesitated. "This..." There were only two people left on duty in the courtyard. If one more person left, they were afraid of what would happen.
Cui Yue lowered his head in trouble, failing to notice the expression on the person opposite him, and said angrily, "Oh, it turns out that it is so troublesome to look after children. If His Highness hadn't personally said that he likes these two little dumplings, I would have really wanted to slap these two little devils in the face!"
"... Don't worry, I'll be there right away."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Cui Yue walked back again.
Cui Yue came back again.
The person outside the door was the first to speak, "Steward Cui, they haven't come back yet, I--"
Only halfway through speaking, the person who turned around suddenly paused. "???"
Cui Yue held a little guy in one hand, frowning, and his voice was extremely irritated. "If they say that we deliberately starved them, they are going to complain to Prince."
The person outside the door trembled. "!!!"
"This..." he stumbled, "Maybe it was too late at night and Kitchen didn't have all the ingredients, so I wasted some time..."
"There is no food, are there not even fruit drinks and fruits?!" Jiang Yingcheng snorted heavily and did not accept this reason, "You just want to starve to death Chengcheng and Jinshu brothers, Chengcheng is going to complain to Uncle Prince Jing!"
"This, this..."
He glanced helplessly at the empty yard, then turned back in despair. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes were fixed on Butler Cui.
If I remember correctly...
Butler Cui was also a martial arts practitioner when he was young. Although he was not enough to compete with the Martial World masters, it was always enough to look after the two little guys...
Moreover, although there is no one to guard this Small Courtyard, the entire house has been arranged with enough experts to take care of it. As long as the two little guys are not left unattended, he does not need to worry about any unexpected situations happening.
"Uncle Cui, look..." He rubbed his hands and discussed, "How about I ask you to keep an eye on me for a while, and I'll go to Kitchen to check on the situation."
Cui Yue looked at the opposite side with an astonished expression, as if it was hard to believe that he would have to face these two little ancestors alone next.
But--
"Then you must hurry up."
The gatekeeper's eyes were full of gratitude and he nodded repeatedly. "Definitely, definitely!"
As long as Prince is not stabbed, he will run for his life!
When the figure of the last person responsible for guarding them in the courtyard disappeared around the corner in the distance, the three people standing at the door laughed together.
"Hey hey~"
"Hey hey hey~~"
"Let's go--"
"Uh huh huh!"
Cui Yue took the two little guys to the garden of this house.
There was an eerie atmosphere in the shadows of the trees under the moonlight. Jiang Yingcheng hugged the butler Prince's Residence's calf, his whole body trembling uncontrollably: "Uuuuuuuuuuuu This place is so scary--"
After howling, she saw that her Jinshu brother didn't react at all, but she reached out and patted him lightly in a covert manner.
[Hey, come and act with your sister!]
Lin Jinshu:"..."
Lin Jinshu:"... wuwuwu."
Cui Yue, with a strong sense of mission, reached out and held the two little guys tightly. "Don't worry, it's very safe here."
"In this way, you pick a tree you like, and Grandpa Cui will help you get a small branch first."
Hearing this, Jiang Yingcheng hesitantly raised his head and glanced inside, seeming to muster up great courage, and pointed casually. "That, that tree is very beautiful."
Cui Yue looked up.
It was clearly an ordinary...
Before he could finish his thoughts, he heard screams of exclamation suddenly coming from the house.
He listened carefully for a long time, and finally heard clearly one of the panicked voices -
"It's gone!!"
