Of course the dumplings refused to say.
She hesitated for a while and whispered:
"...forget."
Zi Chen pinched her small chin, raised her face, and looked carefully.
It was a little far away before, and I couldn't see it too clearly. Now, when she is close, she really found that her eyes were red, and there was a faint black blue now.
This girl has always had no burden on eating, drinking, sleeping, and rarely doing this.
He watched, his brows tightened.
"Go back to sleep."
He said.
Tuanzi was stunned, but he didn't expect him to say such words.
She subconsciously refused:
"But I have made an appointment with everyone..."
Zi Chen raised his gaze slightly, and his gaze swept across the people of Yi Ming.
An appointment?
He grabbed the wrist of the dumpling with his backhand, took the person and walked back.
"Today's arrangement is cancelled."
His expression was as indifferent as ever, but the people around him felt a little bit cold.
When they passed by Yiming and the others, they didn't seem to have recovered.
Zi Chen suddenly stood still.
He is very tall and has a strong aura. Standing in front of a few people, he still weighs down their hearts.
"The dumpling didn't sleep well, don't you know?"
He asked coldly.
It's all like this, still drag her out?
When Yiming heard the words, they were speechless for a while. Although they wanted to explain a few words, they saw that the dumplings were indeed pitiful, and they closed their mouths unreasonably.
Tuan Zi pulled Zi Chen's hand:
"I'm fine... I insisted on coming out myself..."
She just didn't want to be alone, otherwise she would always think about things, and that dream would repeat in her mind over and over again.
But the facts proved that after seeing Zichen, she seemed to be more confused.
Zi Chen listened to her to defend her, her chest blocked, her face still restrained.
"Follow me back."
He didn't say much, after putting down these words, he took the dumpling and walked back.
With a "ding" in Tuanzi's head, he quickly caught the point.
Ah, Zi Chen will go back with her?
Still coax her to sleep as before?
Thinking about it this way, her mood quickly turned cloudy, and she became a lot better.
"Oh, good."
She coughed.
Seeing that Zi Chen was about to leave, Miao Xuanxuan, who had just come up, was a little dazed.
She opened her mouth:
"Zichen, I—"
In the past, Zichen would check her physical recovery every day.
Today this...
Zi Chen didn't return his head either:
"The next arrangement is the same as before."
In fact, it is the same whether he takes care of them.
Originally, he was just trying to repay Miaozhen's favor, and had no other intentions.
Seeing that the little girl didn't sleep well now, what he wanted to do was to take the person back and make up for a good night's sleep.
Before the dumpling could speak, he was taken away.
A group of people stood there, staring at each other.
After a long time, Miao Xuanxuan finally realized something, her eyes a little complicated.
"...It seems that Zi Chen treats the dumplings really well."
She vaguely heard their conversation.
Just having a nightmare and not sleeping well, Zi Chen personally escorted the person back to rest.
This...
Yifu glanced at her with a gentle smile:
"Yes. The dumplings used to eat were all prepared by Zichen. Sometimes the dumplings are noisy at night, and Zichen coaxes them to sleep.
She lifted the broken hair to her ears, pretending not to see Miao Xuanxuan's slightly pale face, and said slowly:
"I heard that in order to save Tuanzi, Zichen almost lost his life several times. However, when Zichen fell asleep, the Tuanzi kept on guard day and night. So, it is not that Zichen unilaterally treats her. Well, the dumplings are the same to him."
Miao Xuanxuan's lips were a little whitish, and she was cramped and panicked.
They are both contracted beasts of God Yue, and it is normal for a good relationship.
She had also heard that these two have a deep relationship.
She didn't pay much attention to it before, but now that she saw the dumpling with her own eyes, she realized that something was wrong.
That's a pretty and charming girl.
Yesterday she saw that Zi Chen didn't seem to be too close to Tuanzi, so she relaxed a little, just thinking that she was thinking too much.
But as soon as this happened today--
She is not stupid.
The sudden blow made Miao Xuanxuan feel uncomfortable, she reluctantly greeted Yifu and the others, and left in a hurry.
When I left, the little face looked as if it had been beaten by frost, and it became pale again.
After she left, Yi Ming looked at Yi Fu and said in disapproval:
"Why didn't you make it clear just now?"
Yifu blinked, "What? What am I saying wrong?"
Yiming's chest is tight and painful, and he lowers his voice:
"When Zi Chen treated dumplings like that before, she was still young. But since she grew up, do you think Zi Chen has done that?"
They all saw clearly that after Tuanzi grew up, Zi Chen treated her differently.
Although Tuanzi was not aware of it, it was clear that Zi Chen took the initiative to draw a line, and he was just like everyone else.
He regarded her as a real grown-up girl.
He didn't allow others to go beyond the rules, and he did the same.
Of course, Zi Chen still relied on the closest one compared to the others.
Tuanzi didn't defend him, he could break that invisible barrier at any time as long as he wanted to.
But he didn't.
Especially at this meeting, this feeling is even stronger.
Yi Fu said "Oh", not very concerned.
"But didn't you do it again today?"
Didn't the person just be taken away by Zichen?
Yiming choked.
Yi Fu said slowly:
"You treat her as yesterday, why didn't you sleep well because of what?"
...
Tuanzi obediently followed Zi Chen back to his residence.
When she came to the door, she remembered what happened last night, and subconsciously asked:
"Zichen, will you sleep with me today?"
Zi Chen stopped, his eyelids twitched fiercely.
She often said this before, but now--
He pressed his eyebrows.
"I'll stay here."
The dumpling buttoned the door:
"No, then I can't sleep. You watch me sleep by the bed."
Zi Chen's face was cold, originally he refused to agree, but when he met her pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel soft.
He sighed helplessly, and finally nodded.
Tuanzi immediately became happy, pushed the door in, ran to the bed quickly, kicked off his shoes, and lay down obediently.
A pair of eyes looked at him so fixedly.
Zi Chen didn't resist, but walked over, helped her cover the quilt as usual, and sat on the chair on the other side.
"Go to sleep."
Tuanzi showed only a small head, and looked at him eagerly, feeling that the current situation was familiar and strange.
She thought for a while and couldn't help asking:
"...You just came back, is Miao Xuanxuan's body okay?"
Zi Chen shook his head and spoke casually:
"It doesn't matter."
Tuanzi asked subconsciously:
"Then what matters?"
Zi Chen was silent, tapping the finger of the armrest lightly.
He turned his face sideways, didn't look at her, only raised his eyelids slightly, as if he didn't hear it, and he seemed...not going to answer.
The dumpling pulled the quilt up, covering a half of his face.
Under the quilt, the corners of her lips couldn't help but raised.
