Chapter 97: He Finally Came (I)

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Seeing that Long was in a really bad mood, Xu cautiously went to sit beside Long on the bed.

Long curled his lips and looked at Xu.

Xu blinked. “Elder brother, have you quarreled with Elder Brother s.h.i.+?”

Long’s face darkened and he stared at Xu.

Xu blinked. “Don’t blame me. Elder brother, your face has betrayed you!”

The corners of Long’s mouth twitched.

Xu said with a smile, “Don’t worry. It’s just that Elder Brother s.h.i.+ is angry, right? It’s not a big deal. Just go to have a good talk with him and it’ll be fine.”

Long rolled his eyes, showing that he really didn’t want to talk to Xu.

Xu curled his lips like a poor boy. “Elder brother, did I say anything wrong?”

Long sighed. “No.”

Xu blinked. “Elder brother, you look so upset…”

Long continued to stare at Xu after hearing the words.

Xu shrugged. “I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Long suddenly sat up from the bed and said, “Hey!” Xu was startled.

Long squinted at him and then got down from the bed.

Xu looked at Long.

Long said, “Where is Fang Shuoyang? I want to see him.”

“Huh?” Xu was stunned. Long changed the topic so fast that Xu almost couldn’t follow him.

Long stared at Xu. “Didn’t you hear me? I said I want to meet Fang Shuoyang!”

“Oh.” Xu hurriedly nodded.

Long glanced at Xu and said, “I’m hungry. Bring me breakfast.”

At that moment, Xu felt that he was really like a servant, a miserable servant who had to act according to his master’s mood for every second!

And his master was tyrannical!

What a poor guy…

Although Xu felt a little helpless, he didn’t dare to ignore Long’s request.

So, breakfast was delivered soon.

Since Xu didn’t want others to get suspicious, the breakfast was just as what he usually had these days and the food was as much as before.

Anyway, Xu thought that if he got hungry in the afternoon, he could have some snacks, which were always available in Fang Shuoyang’s room.

Although Long said he was hungry, he had no appet.i.te at all when breakfast was served.

So Long just had a bowl of porridge and Xu ate all the rest. In the end, Xu even felt he was too full!

After having breakfast, Long went to sit cross-legged on the edge and fell into a trance.

Xu asked the Shadow Guardians to clean up the table and then sat down in front of Long.

“Fang Shuoyang is in his room now. How will you meet him?”

Long looked at Xu. “Is there anyone else in his room?”

Xu thought for a moment, “His mother goes to see him every morning.”

“Oh. What about afternoon?” Long asked lightly.

Xu said, “Not in the afternoon, but she usually goes there when it’s about dinner time.”

“Okay…” Long nodded. “Then I’ll try my luck in the afternoon.”

Xu nodded. “Okay.”

In the afternoon, Long put on a mask which belonged to one of the Shadow Guardians and went out with Xu.

There was only one servant in Fang Shuoyang’s room, but many people were guarding outside.

Naturally, those people wouldn’t stop Xu.

Thus, Xu just walked in with Long and another Shadow Guardian.

When he got inside, Xu waved to the servant directly. “You can go out. I need to do something private with your young master.”

Xu might be the only person there who would say such things to an outsider and he didn’t feel shy at all.

But it seemed to the servant that it was normal, so he went out directly.

Fang Shuoyang looked at Xu tenderly.

Xu puckered his lips and said, “I didn’t come to see you alone.”

Fang was a little stunned after hearing those words. “What?”

Long came out from behind Xu.

“Mister Fang, let me introduce myself. I’m Long Xiaoyuan, Xu You’s elder brother.”

“Xu You’s elder brother?” Fang was stunned at first, and then he suddenly realized it. “Greetings, Your Majesty!”

Long waved his hand. “Lower your voice. I came here in secret.”

Fang stopped speaking at once.

“In fact, I’m here to ask you some questions. And… There are some things that need to be done by yourself.”

“At your command, Your Majesty.”

About half an hour later, Xu and two Shadow Guardians left Fang’s room.

After returning to his room, Xu closed the door and said with worry, “Elder brother, as for your plan… Will there be any danger?” Long glanced at Xu. “There are risks in doing anything.”

Xu became speechless. Of course he knew that! But Long’s plan was far too risky, alright? Moreover… Xu thought that if Elder Brother s.h.i.+ was there, he definitely wouldn’t agree on that!

Would s.h.i.+ Qingzhou agree on that plan if he was there? He wouldn’t. However, the thing was s.h.i.+ wasn’t there!

After explaining it to Xu in a perfunctory manner, Long ordered the Shadow Guardians to do their business.

Seeing that he couldn’t make Long change his mind, Xu said nothing.

Two days later, in the middle of the night, while Long was sleeping, he felt that there was something wrong on his bed.

Long opened his eyes sleepily, and then he saw the person beside him…

Long curled his lips and narrowed his eyes.

He wasn’t mistaken. That was really s.h.i.+ Qingzhou.

Long’s mouth slightly twitched. “Qingzhou?”

The person who wrapped his arms around Long’s waist and buried his face in Long’s chest… was really Qingzhou? Why did Long feel that… it was like a dream?

s.h.i.+ did not speak. He even didn’t let Long see his face clearly. Seeing that s.h.i.+ had buried his head in his chest, Long suddenly felt soft-hearted.

Then, Long slightly moved sideways so that he could see s.h.i.+’s face.

s.h.i.+ also wanted to move, but was stopped by Long.

Long looked at s.h.i.+ smilingly.

“I thought I was mistaken. It’s really you…”

s.h.i.+ pressed his lips together and didn’t speak.

Long fixed his eyes on the face in front of him. After a long time, Long said softly, “Say something.”

s.h.i.+ finally opened his mouth and said in a very low voice, “Say what?”

Long touched s.h.i.+’s chin with one hand and held s.h.i.+’s waist with the other hand. “What do you think?”

s.h.i.+ puckered his lips. “I have nothing to say.”

“Hmm? You have nothing to say?” Long raised his eyebrows.

s.h.i.+ looked away and remained silent.

Long sighed, “Qingzhou, you came just in time. I was about to apologize to you.”
