CHAPTER 119: CHAPTER 120: CONCERN

Even though he hadn’t drunk much, Ruan Xingwen was already a bit tipsy by now.

Perhaps happiness can make one get drunk faster!

"This is great~"

Ruan Xingwen sighed softly.

It was probably the last day of leisure, for starting tomorrow he’d be busy, Ruan Xingwen thought as he leaned back in the comfortable chair, feeling a bit fuzzy.

Being busy is good too, then I can earn money. With money, I can repair the manor, the Mountain and Sea Realm...

!!!

Ruan Xingwen, who was still daydreaming a moment ago, suddenly sat up straight, giving Yu Xiaozhe quite a scare.

Yu Xiaozhe also straightened up, asking with some concern:

"What’s wrong, Xingxing?"

Yun Jing had said he and Little Qilin would return today! It’s already past nine, where could they be? Could they appear right in front of me?!

Or would they go straight to the old house?

No, I need to contact Yun Jing immediately.

"Brother Ze, I’m going to the bathroom." He quickly said and rushed off to the bathroom, not noticing the thoughtful expression of the person behind him.

"Looks like Xingxing has some little secrets." Yu Xiaozhe mused while swirling the wine glass in his hand.

Previously, while Zhang He and Li Mu were buying things, Ruan Xingwen had wandered around the first floor, so he knew where the bathroom was.

The door closed with a "click" behind him.

Ruan Xingwen eagerly called the temporary system:

"System, system!"

A synthesized electronic voice immediately responded:

"Hello, host. How may I assist you?"

"Please help me contact Yun Jing, thank you."

"Alright, please hold on, connecting to Yun Jing."

After a "beep," a projection appeared before Ruan Xingwen once more, with Yun Jing looking a bit puzzled as he asked:

"What’s up, Xingxing?"

"Yun Jing, where are you and Little Qilin now? Have you returned?"

"Yes, look."

Yun Jing stepped aside, revealing the familiar setup of the old house behind him.

"Uh... Yun Jing, I forgot to tell you, I moved today."

"..."

"What, what? Xingxing, where did you move? That villa?"

Before Yun Jing could say anything, Little Qilin jumped into the frame excitedly.

It hadn’t been long, yet it felt like ages since seeing Little Qilin.

Ruan Xingwen’s anxious expression softened,

"Yeah, it’s the one Little Qilin helped me draw for."

"Wow! I want to go too! I want to go!"

Saying this, it tugged at Yun Jing’s pants leg towards the door.

Yun Jing’s beloved pants were in Little Qilin’s mouth, his face darkened instantly, as he used his small hands to grab Little Qilin by the scruff of its neck and lifted it.

He said menacingly:

"Are you getting too comfortable? Hmm?"

With Little Qilin caught by its fate, it instantly quieted down, dangling its limbs in mid-air, looking dejected.

"Alright, alright, how will you come over? Can you come directly?"

Time was tight, so Ruan Xingwen had to play mediator. Otherwise, watching a cool kid argue with a silly dog was pretty entertaining, like watching a movie.

Yun Jing disdainfully tossed Little Qilin onto the couch, clapped his hands, and answered Ruan Xingwen’s earlier question,

"Though I’m quite capable, without a Teleportation Array, I can’t just fly over there out of thin air."

"Uh..."

Ruan Xingwen felt wronged; it’s Little Qilin’s fault, yet he had to help shield Yun Jing’s anger.

Yun Jing’s face was still dark, and spreading his hands, he added sarcastically:

"If you were powerful enough, Xingxing, I could be in your Divine Sense and this wouldn’t be such a hassle, I could just appear by your side."

This... he was totally caught up in Little Qilin’s mess!

"Cough, cough, Yun Jing, how about I come pick you up?"

The best way to avoid awkwardness is to change the subject.

Clearly satisfied with Ruan Xingwen’s suggestion, Yun Jing nodded his proud little head, "Sure."

"Boohoo, Xingxing, come save me! Come..."

Little Qilin’s unfinished call for help was silenced by a glance from Yun Jing.

Oh, Qilin Senior had long warned me, never touch Yun Jing’s clothes! Absolutely never!

Why didn’t I listen to Qilin Senior!?

So regretful!

Xingxing! Come save... err, the Qilin!

However, Ruan Xingwen didn’t sense Little Qilin’s inward calls at all.

Yun Jing directly cut off the connection, with just a parting reminder: "Come early."

Looking at the wall, now once again empty, Ruan Xingwen reached out and touched it, indeed it was just an ordinary wall.

Really magical.

He marveled in his heart.

Who would say it isn’t? Even meeting Little Qilin is a kind of magical fate.

Ruan Xingwen walked to the sink, turned on the tap, and washed his hands.

After drying them, Ruan Xingwen opened the bathroom door and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaozhe was standing not far outside the bathroom door.

"Hmm? Brother Ze, do you need to use the bathroom too?"

He recalled Yu Yue saying every bedroom in his brother’s house has a private bathroom, was his memory wrong?

Yu Xiaozhe shook his head, straightening from leaning on the wall, his lips parted lightly:

"No. I saw you were in there a long time and was worried you might have an accident from being drunk."

Ruan Xingwen realized, so he was worried about me, but this little alcohol wasn’t enough to get me drunk.

"I didn’t drink much, sorry to worry you, Brother Ze."

Yu Xiaozhe shook his head, "Let’s go sit back down."

"Well, Brother Ze, could I discuss something with you?"

Ruan Xingwen’s request halted Yu Xiaozhe’s foot mid-step, he turned and looked at him inquisitively.

"Um, it’s like this, I suddenly remember I left something at the old house, and I think I should go back to fetch it."

"Okay then, let’s go." Yu Xiaozhe headed towards the door with long strides.

"Hmm?"

He hadn’t finished speaking, yet Yu Xiaozhe already understood?! Ruan Xingwen wondered if he really was a bit tipsy, otherwise, why would he feel like he and Yu Xiaozhe were on the same wavelength?

At this moment, he had no choice but to follow Yu Xiaozhe’s strides, also heading towards the door.

However, at the entryway, Yu Xiaozhe’s hand reached for his coat, suddenly paused, then he turned to look at Ruan Xingwen.

Ruan Xingwen was startled by his gaze and stopped walking.

What now with Yu Xiaozhe?

Sigh, people who don’t talk much really are hard to read!

"Wait a moment, I’ll be right back upstairs." While Ruan Xingwen was still stunned, Yu Xiaozhe was already halfway up the stairs.

Was the car key left upstairs?

A few minutes later, Yu Xiaozhe came down from upstairs, holding a beige coat.

He walked to Ruan Xingwen and handed over the coat,

"It’s cold outside, wear this to keep warm."

So, he went to get me a coat.

Although Yu Xiaozhe’s expression remained... expressionless, his actions unmistakably conveyed his care and concern for him.

Hmm, maybe I’ll just go with the flow and not fret about Yu Xiaozhe’s intentions.

If love truly arrives, there’s nothing that can stop it.

Ruan Xingwen would never admit that he enjoyed Yu Xiaozhe’s care and concern for him.

A mini version of Ruan Xingwen was secretly cheering with joy in his heart!
