Chapter 39 Frequent Accidents
Du Ruoling looked at the dark circles under his brother's eyes and had a rough idea of whether Ye Youxuan was at Linfeng Waterside Pavilion. He patted the sofa beside him and motioned Du Ruoling to sit down.
"Sit down and talk later"
Du Ruoqing didn't act pretentiously and walked over and sat down. He was too tired. He pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, trying to make himself more awake.
"Ruoqing, have you been busy at school these days? You haven't been home for a long time, so Dad asked me to come and see you."
"Well, it's okay. I've been a little busy lately and haven't called my dad yet. Tell him not to worry. I'm fine here."
"That's not so bad. Look at how dark circles you have under your eyes. If you have anything to do, take your time. It's not good to ruin your health..."
Du Ruoling poured a glass of water for Du Ruoqing and continued
"I remember your long-haired friend wasn't feeling well. He's been here these days, right? He's going to have trouble following you around like this every day."
Upon hearing this, Du Ruoqing was stunned as she tilted her head back to drink water. Although it was only for a second, it was still noticed by others.
"How do you know Xuan is here? Who told you?"
Looking at Du Ruoqing's vigilant eyes, everyone was a little confused.
At this time, Zhou Zhijie stood up and spoke
"Oh, Ruoqing, I was the one who told your brother. I'm Brother Zhijie. You forgot... It's like this. The last time we were in Musha Pavilion, one of the people was Hongyang, and Hongyang happened to be good friends with Ye Shao's nephew Ye Jingyu. We also learned from Jingyu that Ye Shao was at Linfeng Waterside Pavilion. This time we came here for dinner, and we heard that you were here too, so we thought we'd have dinner together."
Du Ruoqing looked at the familiar man and remembered that he was her brother's friend. When she heard that he learned about it from the Ye family, the vigilance in her eyes subsided a lot.
"Brother Zhijie, thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to prepare the meal. We'll do it next time. I've been busy with school matters lately, and they're all confidential, so I'll eat in my room. I won't bother you."
Seeing Du Ruoqing's firm attitude, Zhou Zhijie no longer forced her.
"I'm sorry, brother. I was a little excited just now," Du Ruoqing said to Du Ruoling apologetically.
"It's okay, I don't blame you... Take your time when there are a lot of things to do. Don't skip meals or rest. From now on, don't eat upstairs, eat downstairs. Ask the kitchen to make more food, and then go upstairs after you're full. Only when you've rested, eaten, and drunk enough can you get things done."
"Um"
Just when Du Ruoling was about to say something, he was interrupted by Du Ruoqing's phone ringing.
"Hello... I'm at Linfengxuan... What?... Don't worry, I'll be there soon..."
He hung up the phone and walked towards the door. Halfway through, he seemed to remember something, restrained his expression, and turned back to say to Du Ruoling and others
"Brother, there's something upstairs that I can't handle. I'll go check it out. You guys have fun, don't worry about me."
After saying that, he trotted away without waiting for everyone to react.
Seeing that Du Ruoqing had disappeared, everyone came to their senses.
"Something must have happened, otherwise Ruoqing wouldn't have that expression."
Everyone seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent for a long time. Feng Yu'an stood up.
"Yu An, are you leaving?"
Feng Yu'an turned his head and looked at Du Ruoling and shook his head
"No, don't leave yet. Let's go and take a look. I feel like something is wrong."
Feng Yu'an had been feeling uneasy ever since Ye Youxuan disappeared and moved into Linfeng Waterside Pavilion. He had been in Kyoto before, and this time he had finally come to Mucheng. He had to see Ye Youxuan to see if he was safe before he could relax and do other things.
When the others heard the boss's words, they were sure to follow, but as soon as they left Linfengxuan, they saw Zeng Li apologizing to the customers.
After saying all the nice things he could to send the last guest away, Zeng Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt a little depressed when he thought about the room where the eldest young master and his friends were staying.
I don't know what's wrong with the second young master. He said that the shop is closed today and he wanted to find a way to send the people who came away. It's really harder than going to heaven.
He turned and walked towards Linfengxuan. Just as he was thinking about how to tell the eldest young master, the eldest young master and his friends appeared in front of him.
"Zeng Li, what's going on? It's still early, why is the door closed? Didn't the guest in that room just arrive? Why did they send him out?"
"Young Master... this... this is the Second Young Master's order. He said that Linfeng Waterside Pavilion has been open for the next few days and that all employees should go home for a few days. I tried to persuade him, but he wouldn't listen. The young master from the Fu family directly transferred 10 million yuan into the account and said that he had booked Linfeng Waterside Pavilion for five days. I... I have no choice."
"Isn't this nonsense? Where is Ruoqing? Take me to find him."
"The second young master is on the top floor."
Zeng Li took Du Ruoling and others upstairs after saying that. Although Linfeng Waterside Pavilion was famous for its antique style, it still had the necessary convenient facilities, such as: elevator.
When everyone was waiting for the elevator, a man suddenly rushed down the stairs at the side, so fast that people couldn't see his face clearly.
Everyone turned around and saw another figure passing by, shouting
"Quick, quick, surround him, don't let him out, quick..."
Fortunately, no one working in the ancient building had left at that time, otherwise someone would have really run away.
Seeing that they were surrounded, Du Ruoqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took a long breath and then said softly:
"Ah Xuan, be good. I won't chase you. Don't run away... I won't chase you anymore..."
At this time, Fu Huainan stumbled down from upstairs, crying loudly.
“Boss…Boss, don’t…”
Everyone was confused, not knowing what was going on. Feng Yu'an looked at the person who was surrounded in the center of the ancient building, and saw him lowering his head and trembling. He thought to himself that something was wrong and moved quietly.
"Axuan...be obedient and give me the wooden hairpin, please give me the wooden hairpin?" Du Ruoqing said as she slowly approached.
Only then did everyone realize that the fragile person who would break at the slightest touch was holding a black wooden hairpin in his hand, and the round head that was usually used to protect his head from being pricked had been sharpened into a pointed point at some point.
Ye Youxuan, who had his head down, seemed to sense someone approaching. He raised his head and looked at Du Ruoqing. The moment he raised his head, it was shocking.
"Ruoqing? Huainan..."
"Yes, it's me...it's me...Axuan, give me the hairpin."
Du Ruoqing saw that Ye Youxuan was somewhat conscious and wanted to take the opportunity to take the wooden hairpin, but just when she was about to get it, Ye Youxuan suddenly became agitated, put the wooden hairpin against his neck, and shouted at Du Ruoqing to go away.
The sudden scene frightened everyone. Du Ruoqing didn't dare to move forward, for fear of irritating Ye Youxuan and inserting the wooden hairpin into his neck.
"Okay... okay, I won't go forward, don't get excited... Ah Xuan, take down the hairpin, I won't go over there"
