Chapter 134 What happened?
Chapter 134
Before I knew it, the sky gradually darkened. At the same time, the chirping of birds and insects rose and fell, interweaving into a natural melody, which was really refreshing. It seemed as if all the worries were gradually dissipating, making people immersed in this beautiful and peaceful moment.
After a busy night at the Hidden Dragon Division, Ye Yunzhou returned to the Marquis' Mansion feeling weak in the knees and feet. He touched his still-hot forehead and sighed softly.
He rarely fell ill, but when he did, recovery was difficult. While at the Hidden Dragon Division, he had consulted the department's doctor and taken medicine, but surprisingly, it hadn't helped much. After forcing himself to hold on for a day, he just wanted to return to his courtyard and have a good night's sleep.
However, when he was halfway there, he suddenly remembered what happened yesterday. He turned his head to look in the direction of Chunhuayuan, his brows slightly furrowed, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he finally turned and walked towards Chunhuayuan.
In Chunhua Courtyard, Luo Shuiyao stood up and stretched her body which had become stiff from sitting for a long time, only to feel severe pain in her waist and back.
After a short while, she put the drawings into a box, planning to do it tomorrow. She felt a little hungry, but it was late at night and everyone was probably asleep. She didn't want to bother others, so she decided to go to the kitchen and make some noodles.
However, she never expected that when she opened the door, she would see a man standing in the yard. She was so scared that she almost screamed.
Ye Yunzhou climbed over the wall and stood in the yard, looking at the figure reflected in the window of the house making strange movements. He was too embarrassed to go forward and knock on the door.
After thinking about it, he felt that what he was doing was not appropriate after all. He was about to turn around and leave, but he saw her open the door and walk out, and he almost screamed.
He was quick to act and rushed forward a few steps to cover her mouth. If she screamed out and was discovered by others, she would not be able to explain herself even if she was right.
Luo Shuiyao widened her eyes in horror, but after seeing that it was Ye Yunzhou, the horror in her eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by confusion and surprise, and a hint of speechlessness.
She really couldn't understand what this man was doing. Why did he always cover her mouth?
She frowned and looked at Ye Yunzhou with a little dissatisfaction, her eyes revealing the question of "What do you want?"
Ye Yunzhou looked at her eyes filled with doubt and dissatisfaction, opened his mouth, and wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start.
His hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, and a trace of confusion and embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
The two of them just stood there silently, the air around them seemed to be frozen, filled with a subtle and awkward atmosphere.
Ye Yunzhou could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
He wanted to break the deadlock, so he coughed lightly and slowly said, "Um... I didn't mean to scare you. I just came back from the Hidden Dragon Division and passed by here, so I thought I'd come see you."
His eyes were a little vague and he didn't dare to look directly into Luo Shuiyao's eyes.
Luo Shuiyao raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing what he said, obviously not satisfied with this explanation. However, she was too lazy to ask further questions, so she just gestured for him to let go of her.
Ye Yunzhou finally realized that he was still covering Luo Shuiyao's mouth. A trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he quickly let go of his hand. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
Luo Shuiyao gently rubbed her mouth which had turned red from covering it, and looked at Ye Yunzhou with a frown.
Just when Ye Yunzhou felt guilty about being looked at by her, she suddenly waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm hungry and I'm going to cook a bowl of noodles. Do you want to eat it?"
Ye Yunzhou was so distracted by her unexpected conversation that he was stunned for a few seconds before replying, "Eat."
Luo Shuiyao glanced at him, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Ye Yunzhou hesitated for a moment, but finally followed. Entering the kitchen, Luo Shuiyao skillfully lit the fire and boiled water. On the chopping board lay some leftover noodles from tonight's meal.
The water soon boiled, and she dropped the noodles into the pot, gently lifted them up with chopsticks, and closed the lid. Soon, the noodles were cooked.
Pick up the noodles. There is broth on the table. Pour the broth on the noodles and sprinkle with chopped green onions. A simple bowl of vegetarian noodles is ready.
After finishing the noodles, she glanced at Ye Yunzhou, thought for a moment, and then skillfully fried two eggs, placing one in each of their bowls. She then nodded in satisfaction. "Come over and bring the noodles up, and let's eat in my room."
Ye Yunzhou walked forward obediently, picked up two bowls of noodles, and followed Luo Shuiyao. When they arrived at the door, Luo Shuiyao opened the door and walked in first.
Ye Yunzhou stood at the door, wanting to say something but stopping himself, then gritted his teeth and followed in. He knew in his heart that a man could not enter a woman's bedroom at will, even if it was a brother or sister.
But if she didn't let him go in, that would be even worse. He suppressed the secret joy in his heart. If he didn't want to be an upright person today, then let him be the rude one today.
Luo Shuiyao didn't realize what Ye Yunzhou was thinking at all.
Besides, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. This house wasn't just the inner room. There was a small couch, a table, a desk, and so on in the outer room.
The bed was inside, so what was there to be ashamed of? Now that everyone had gone to bed, it would be troublesome to go to the guest room in the dark. It was just two bowls of plain noodles; it would be more convenient to eat them in my own room.
Luo Shuiyao was only thinking about eating noodles quickly to solve her hunger problem, and was completely unaware of the turmoil in Ye Yunzhou's heart.
She sat casually on the small couch, pointed to the seat opposite, and motioned Ye Yunzhou to sit down and eat noodles.
The two of them finished their bowls of vegetarian noodles quietly.
Luo Shuiyao touched the teapot. The tea in it was the one Du Juan had brewed for her before bed, and it was still warm to the touch. After filling the pot for both of them and rinsing her mouth, she saw that Ye Yunzhou hadn't left yet, and looked at him with some confusion.
Ye Yunzhou looked around the room calmly.
The candlelight at night was rather dim, but it added a strange warmth to the room. He saw the flowers in the vase on the table, the neatly decorated room, and the faint sweet fragrance wafting through the air, just like the scent of Luo Shuiyao, which made him feel relaxed.
When he noticed the look in Luo Shuiyao's eyes, he turned around in a hurry. Under the candlelight, the woman was wearing a light gauze dress, with a graceful figure and a face as beautiful as a painting.
This was the woman he had long admired, so how could he maintain his inner peace? His gaze once again involuntarily fell on Luo Shuiyao, and a myriad of thoughts welled up in his mind. Her every smile, every gesture, seemed to radiate endless charm.
He was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself. He didn't know if it was caused by the high fever, but at this moment he felt extremely hot all over.
Luo Shuiyao saw him looking at her intently, and after a closer look she discovered that his expression seemed not right. After thinking for a moment, she leaned forward to see what was wrong with him.
