After returning to the Yan Family, Xue Bao and Yan Junyi got off the car and walked into the living room together. Only then did they realise that Yan Meiqi had arrived home before them, and was currently distributing some things in the hall.
Old Master Yan accompanied her as she laughed heartily at the side, and even Mr. Yan. After entering the Yan Family for so long, it was the first time Xue Bao saw a smile on her face. Although it was very light, it was a true smile. That frosty face was not that scary!
"Dad, look at this, can you read the words? I heard our teacher say that it's the 'Moon God', but no matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like it. " Yan Meiqi took out a stone from a pile of weirdly strong rocks and handed it over to Old Master Yan.
Old Master Yan took the strange stone from her hand and started to study it with a magnifying glass.
When Yan Meiqi saw Yan Junyi and Xue Bao, he happily waved at Yan Junyi and said, "Big Brother, come over here quickly. My harvest this time is really great, I have retrieved all the things related to the Moon God.
Yan Junyi wasn't interested in these things at all, he only felt that his sister had been led astray by the Old Master Yan. With a turn of his feet, he walked to the center of the living room and sat down on the sofa, lazily watching these neurotic people.
Xue Bao took a step forward and peeked his head out to look at the treasures in front of Yan Meiqi. He realized that all of them were oddly-shaped stones, and looked very old.
Are these really related to the Moon God? Was Yan Meiqi travelling just to pick up these antiques? Was it because of Yan Junyi's illness? Seeing how Old Master Yan and Yan Meiqi were so interested in these things, she suspected that it might actually be useful to Yan Junyi!
At the center of the living room was Yan Family and his family of four were talking and laughing merrily. Xue Bao felt that he was simply an isolated stranger. Walking out of the deck, and seeing the direction of the south yard, he naturally thought of Yu Er who was unknown whether he was human or a ghost.
Xue Bao turned around and found the telescope he just bought, he stood on the balcony and looked at south yard. It was a pity that some of the trees in the garden were too tall for her to see.
After hesitating for a while, Xue Bao took his binoculars and surreptitiously wiped up the fourth floor. He then looked in the direction of south yard from the top of the fourth floor. His vision was much better now. Through the telescope, he could vaguely see south yard and the white wall structure.
Inside the metal fence, it was very quiet, there was no one inside, and of course I couldn't see Yi Yuer's figure either. It was unknown if it was within the house, or if she would never appear again. Xue Bao sighed lightly.
He suddenly thought back to last night when the Old Master Yan invited the Daoist to exorcise the Evil Spirit at the south yard. Was it really the Old Master Yan's method that worked? Yi Yuer's soul was driven out?
Xue Bao shook his head. He felt that his thoughts were laughable, but she was also so eager to know the answer. Otherwise, she really would have been driven mad by these strange appearances. She really suspected that Yan Junyi's previous wives had been tormented to such an extent that they had gone insane. Facing these matters that couldn't be solved with common sense, one day, their minds and hearts would go insane!
In order to not be tortured to death, Xue Bao secretly decided that he must get to the bottom of this matter. He could see Yi Yuer on the last two visits to the south yard, but he didn't know if he would be able to see her again today. Regardless, she decided to give it a try!
Avoiding the line of sight of others and touching the south yard, Xue Bao laid outside the metal fence he peeked at last time. Through the iron fence, he could see the main hall of the house. She saw the crazy, disheveled women again.
An old woman was combing their hair. The newly combed hair was messed up by another madman. The old woman was angry. She hit the woman's palm with something unknown. The next moment, a cry rang out.
As Xue Bao saw their appearances, sympathy surged from his heart. He didn't know whether or not there would be a day when she would join them. He was locked in this luxurious room that did not have the slightest bit of humanity!
After leaning against the wall and looking for a long time, he still couldn't see Yi Yuer's figure. A complex emotion filled her pretty face, and it was hard to tell if it was happiness or disappointment. Did he yearn to see Yi Yuer? She didn't know!
Her small hands reached into her pockets and gripped the strings of the pipa that she bought with Yan Junyi the day before yesterday, but she did not move an inch. After a long moment of hesitation, he clenched his teeth and placed the zither under the fence wall. He took one last look at the woman in the room, then turned around and quietly walked towards the front yard.
He went back to his bedroom and took a bath. Just as he fell asleep, he heard the maid tell her that the Eldest Young Master was looking for him. He had no choice but to get up.
When he arrived at Yan Junyi's bedroom, Yan Junyi was currently bathing. With her sharp eyes, Xue Bao saw that there was an additional stone that had the shape of a human face on the bedside table. There were a few words carved on it from ancient times.
It must have been brought back here by Yan Meiqi, Xue Bao thought, just as he was about to put it back. Yan Junyi had just walked out of the bathroom wearing a light blue robe. His hair was still dripping.
Xue Bao walked in front of him with that strange stone in his arms. Raising his head, he stared at him and asked, "Do you believe this as well?"
Yan Junyi looked at the stone in her hand and shook his head: "I don't believe you." He had never believed that there was such a thing as a curse in this world, much less in his previous life, even though he was helpless against his internal illness.
"Then why did you bring this back?" Xue Bao did not understand and put the stone back.
As Yan Junyi wiped the water droplets on his hair with a dry towel, he casually said, "That was Mei Qi's wish. I couldn't bear to refuse, so I brought it back."
So that was how it was. Xue Bao understood. Yan Junyi wrapped his arm around her waist and lowered his head to kiss her lips. Xue Bao's small face tilted to the side, not very willing to accept his kiss.
She knew that the man in front of her was treating her as Yi Yuer's substitute again. When had he ever heard him call her name?
After understanding his feelings for Yi Yuer, Xue Bao no longer dared to hold any hope.
Every time, Xue Bao would treat him coldly in retaliation for his disloyalty to the game. However, he would always get lost halfway through and would start to answer him shamelessly.
Even if she could only hear Yu Er's name every time, she was not in the mood to care anymore. She followed her feelings and responded to him, indulging herself for a long time.
Yan Junyi stopped all his movements in shame and carried her in his arms gently, as usual.
She didn't hear Yu Er's name today, so Xue Bao opened his eyes in surprise. He was surprised to see Yan Junyi once again using that deep and melancholy gaze to stare at him. What was he thinking at the moment? Yu Er?
In order to break this weird anger, Xue Bao looked at him and said, "Eldest Young Master, in a few days I will go on a tourist trip on Shui Shan. After class tomorrow, I will go shopping with my classmates. Tomorrow night I will go to my mother's place."
"Yes." Yan Junyi replied indifferently and turned to the side.
Xue Bao propped himself up and laid on his chest. He looked down at Qin Lie and said with a smile, "I recently discovered a strange underground palace called the Moon God Hall. Are you interested in taking a look?"
"Not interested." Yan Junyi closed his eyes. What Moon God Hall?
Seeing that he rejected without hesitation, Xue Bao pouted her lips, and didn't give up. "It's a Saturday in three days, and you don't need to go to work, just take it as a game. Aren't you afraid that I'll sleep in the same bed as Lin Jian that night?"
"You dare?!" Yan Junyi suddenly opened his eyes, staring at her and threatening her with a cold voice!
"Hehe, then do you want to go or not!" Xue Bao laughed dryly.
Three days later … Yan Junyi tilted his head slightly, and looked at the day three days later on the calendar. That day was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, and he instantly felt pain. The look on his face was so helpless that he shook his head, closed his eyes again, and prepared to rest.
When Xue Bao saw that he was not interested, he no longer forced him. She just thought it might have something to do with his illness. He might be interested, and if he didn't want to go, so be it.
On the way to the water mountain, Xue Bao and Lin Jian sat together on the bus seat, as if it was natural. The students had long treated the two of them as a pair, so they didn't find them strange.
It was already afternoon by the time they got there. The five hours of driving had nearly exhausted them all.
The bus stopped in the parking lot, and the students rushed out of the bus impatiently. Xue Bao hung his luggage on Lin Jian's body, then skipped over to the vacation villa with the few girls, which was where they would stay tonight.
"Wah …" Senior Lan Ning's car, she arrived before us. " A girl rushed to the side of a silver-white sportscar and exclaimed with an expression of infatuation.
"Yes, I wonder where Senior Lan Ning is now?" Another girl joined in.
Xue Bao looked in the direction they were in and saw a silver-white car. It looked familiar, because this car was rarely seen in Ning City, so she remembered it.
Where did you see it? Yes, it was on the day of the party, when the staff had stopped her. It was only after the owner of the car had said something to them that she had been able to enter the venue.
This car belongs to Senior Lan Ning? So it turns out that the mysterious person who helped her that night was Lan Ning! Yes, he was the owner of the Waterbay villa, and only he had the authority to let her in!
Just as everyone was startled, the car door was pushed open, and Lan Ning who was dressed in casual clothes came out from the driver's seat. He greeted everyone with a smile, "Good afternoon, can we go in now?"
"Hello senior …" The girls happily replied. After all, this was the first time they had come into contact with such an influential figure in the school. It was difficult to control the excitement in their hearts. As if he had seen a star, he was escorted by a group of girls as he walked inside.
Being surrounded in the middle, Lan Ning maintained a polite smile on his face and finally managed to squeeze out some time. He turned his head and glanced at the group of boys left behind him, and then fixed his gaze on Xue Bao's body for three seconds.
After seeing Xue Bao walking together with Lin Jian, his expression darkened for a while, but quickly returned to normal. He continued chatting and laughing with the girls as he headed back to the villa.
Behind them were a few young lovers. Maybe it was because they had a boyfriend that they didn't dare to be infatuated with, but their hearts were a bit itchy. Lin Jian turned his head and smiled to Xue Bao, "Your secret crush is about to be divided, aren't you going to fight for a chance?"
"You really want me to do this?" Xue Bao smiled mischievously at him, raising his hand and pressing the sun hat on Lin Jian's head.
"I don't want it to work?" Lin Jian teased. No matter what Xue Bao did, as long as she was happy, he wanted her to do it!
"Useless, haha …" Xue Bao laughed out loud, looking at Lan Ning's back figure, his heart suddenly felt bitter, and forced a laugh: "Previously, no one told me that Senior Lan Ning's family is called the Prominent Class with Ning City, I am a very self-aware person."
This kind of person could only be used for infatuation and not as a boyfriend. She knew this the moment she saw Lan Ning at the banquet. Furthermore, she was not as clean as she was now. How could a married woman be worthy of the Prince like Lan Ning?
Lin Jian turned his head, and looked at her with a questioning gaze as he teased, "You also have times of inferiority?"
As expected, the class rep put Xue Bao and Lin Jian in the same room, and Xue Bao did not care about it at all. After putting down the greetings, he rushed out of the house, intending to visit this luxurious vacation villa, leaving Lin Jian alone to clean up the room.
