Rebirth: I am the boss uncle

Chapter 621 Darling, Don't Run Away! 7

That night, Feng Yu'an didn't do anything outrageous; he simply held Ye Youxuan and fell into a deep sleep. When Ye Youxuan woke up the next day, Feng Yu'an had already left.

In the following days, Ye Youxuan did not encounter Feng Yu'an again.

......

Following Feng Bo's directions, He Hanyu arrived at the backyard. Looking at the white ribbons of clothing fluttering down from the cherry blossom trees not far away, they were soft and delicate, dancing gracefully in the gentle breeze.

The person leaning against the tree trunk, holding a jade flute and lost in thought, is still so beautiful...

He Hanyu didn't disturb Ye Youxuan. Instead, she stood quietly a short distance away, leaning against the corridor, watching Ye Youxuan leaning against the tree, watching him in a daze, watching him gently close his eyes, watching the breeze gently sway the hem of his clothes, watching a small strand of his long, soft, black hair dance slightly in the air because of the breeze...

He Hanyu watched this scene, completely captivated. He crossed his arms and quietly observed the beautiful woman who was trapped in the golden cage by the combined efforts of the group of them...

He was actually conflicted. He didn't know if what he was doing was right. He didn't know if helping Feng Yu'an by leaving this person here to face the consequences was right or wrong.

But seeing this scene on the cherry blossom tree, he realized... even he couldn't let go...

He Hanyu steadied himself and finally walked towards Ye Youxuan's direction...

Ye Youxuan leaned against the tree trunk, enjoying the sunlight filtering through the leaves and flowers, and savoring... the faint fragrance of the blossoms...

He closed his eyes, letting the warm, fragrant sunlight fall upon him...

Perhaps... this will make him smell even better.

The thought of this possibility made Ye Youxuan feel a little better.

After all, he still had some... a sense of caution that shouldn't exist in this body.

He likes sweet and fragrant things, and more importantly, that person hasn't been by his side these past few days, so he's enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

“…Little Xuan’er…”

Just as Ye Youxuan was thinking that the sunshine would make him smell nice, a man's pleasant voice came from under the tree, gentle and soothing that it was hard not to be captivated by it.

Ye Youxuan was slightly startled by the voice, opened her eyes, and slowly turned her head to look at He Hanyu, who was standing under the tree looking up at her.

Ye Youxuan was taken aback; he hadn't seen an outsider for a long time.

He gently propped himself up and looked down at He Hanyu under the tree.

"He Hanyu...it's you?"

"Yes! It's me..."

He Hanyu slightly raised his head, a smile in his eyes, unlike his usual...cold demeanor.

"Didn't you say you were going to have Liu Jiangchen... come over?"

Ye Youxuan tilted her head, puzzled, and spoke in a soft, gentle voice, as if it could float away...

He Hanyu nodded

"Yes! He was originally coming, but he had some things to take care of, so I came instead. I heard from... Yu An that... you haven't been in a good mood lately, so I came to see you."

He Hanyu spoke softly, then slightly opened her arms towards Ye Youxuan.

"Don't worry! I'll catch you..."

Ye Youxuan stared blankly at He Hanyu, speechless for a long time. Then he lowered his head, smiled, and gently shook his head.

"No need, I'm not as weak as you think. I can get down by myself... and I don't want to get down now..."

Ye Youxuan raised her head again, looking at the horizon not far away, then slowly lay back down, gently swinging her dangling legs.

"No... I'm not in a bad mood, I'm not unhappy, I just... don't know how to express what I want right now."

He Hanyu withdrew his hand and stood quietly under the tree, looking at the person leaning against the trunk, staring blankly at the sky.

"...Little Xuan'er, do you want to...go out?"

Ye Youxuan, whose lips had been slightly curved in a smile, suddenly froze, his pupils dilating slightly before returning to normal. He tilted his head slightly to look at He Hanyu under the tree.

"...Do I...want to go out?"

Ye Youxuan looked up quietly at the pink cherry blossoms beside her, her eyes calm, but her tone was tinged with bitterness.

"...He Hanyu, what do you think? Do you think I want to go out? To be honest... I don't know... what my final thought is?"

The sound was soft and gentle, as if it would drift away with the wind...

A gentle breeze blew the cherry blossom petals off the trees, creating a fleeting yet breathtaking cherry blossom rain.

He Hanyu stood under the tree, slightly raised her hand and grasped the white sash that fluttered in the wind, clutching it tightly in her hand.

Actually, he came today with a mission, a mission that... the unconventional Liu Jiangchen could never complete, a mission that Ye Youxuan wouldn't believe in front of others...

He was conflicted! He was torn. He didn't know if he should do this? Should he help his friend take things a step further, or rather... help them take their relationship with him a step further...?

He Hanyu rubbed the sash in his hands, then slowly...slowly...brought it to his face, gently inhaling its fragrance...

......

As night fell, Ye Youxuan stood by the window, overlooking everything in the manor. He gently raised his hand to touch the cold glass. Perhaps not expecting the glass to be so cold, he shuddered and took a step back abruptly...

Ye Youxuan stared blankly at her hands, not thinking about what He Hanyu had said to her during the break.

He told himself to rest early today to conserve his energy so he could take him out tomorrow—to the amusement park, to the movies, to anywhere he wanted to go...

Feng Yu'an is not here!

Correct!

Feng Yu'an isn't here; he's gone out!

So this is his best chance to leave, his best chance to return to Adumus. Perhaps it would be better if he joined Adumus, perhaps... better!

But why is it such a coincidence?

Why take him out at this particular time, when Feng Yu'an was leaving?

He did remember that Feng Yu'an had said he would have them take him out to play when he left, so... he really could go out!

He was a little scared, scared that it was a trap, scared that it was another layer of chains, but... this was his chance to leave!
