Chapter 247
As soon as Yu Xi came back, everyone seemed to come alive.
It’s not that everyone was dead before, but the atmosphere among the people was obviously different.
Gu An was the first to notice Yu Xi's return.
When he realized that Yu Xi was very close to him, he immediately raised his head, his amber eyes full of anticipation. Seeing that the teleportation array was activated and Yu Xi had really returned, he didn't even bother to leave the house, but jumped off the eaves and ran towards Yu Xi.
"Senior sister!"
He wanted to hold Yu Xi's hand and tell her that he missed him, but unfortunately Yu Xi was hugged by Luo Chunxi, so he failed. He could only raise his head and say:
"Sister, why did you come back several days later than expected? Did you encounter any danger along the way? While you were away, I took good care of the house and read books. I also learned some new sword moves. Do you want to see them?"
"What are you looking at? Xiao Xi'er has worked so hard for so many days before coming back. She must have a good rest first."
Zhong Xian, relying on his height and strength, grabbed Gu An by the collar and lifted him up behind him. Under Luo Chunxi's murderous gaze, he stretched out his hands towards Yu Xi and said:
"Xiao Xi'er, come and hug your brother. I've missed you so much after not hugging you for so many days!"
Yu Xi was already happy to be home, and when he saw Zhong Xian reaching out his hand to him, he immediately threw himself into Zhong Xian's arms and said happily:
"I miss my brother too!"
The sweet sound instantly healed Zhong Xian.
Luo Chunxi looked at her empty arms, then looked at the triumphant Zhong Xian, and glared at him fiercely.
She originally planned to beat Zhong Xian, and now Zhong Xian dared to snatch her from her arms openly. Wouldn't this mean settling all the new and old grudges together?
Zhong Xian didn't know that he was in great danger, and was kissing Yu Xi's head with his head.
Gu An was not as tall as Zhong Xian. He silently glanced at the height difference between Zhong Xian and himself, then quickly retracted his gaze and jumped towards Yu Xi on tiptoe: "Senior Sister, I miss you too."
Yu Xi readily agreed: "I miss Brother An too!"
Gu An was satisfied. He was a smart man and even his smile looked silly.
Seeing this, Zhong Xian narrowed his eyes, snorted lightly, turned sideways to ask Xiao Xier about her well-being, and prevented Xiao Xier from talking to Gu An.
Seeing this, Gu An was not anxious. He turned around and looked at Luo Chunxi, "Master, did something happen along the way? My brothers and sisters have been very worried these days."
Luo Chunxi said calmly: "Nothing."
Hearing Gu An mention other people, Luo Chunxi frowned again and asked, "Where are Su Xianyun and Jizhi?"
Yu Xi is back, why are these two people nowhere to be seen?
"They're here. I'll call them out." Gu An responded, turning back to Su Xianyun and saying, "Third Senior Brother, don't be so busy. Senior Sister is back!"
Su Xianyun had already noticed that Yu Xi had returned and wanted to come out immediately, but his hands were full of the smell of medicine, so he hurried to wash his hands.
Now when he heard Gu An calling him, he thought it was his junior sister looking for him. He was so anxious that his mind went blank. He ran out without even wiping his hands and ran straight to Yu Xi's side, saying in a cheerful tone:
"Junior sister."
But his hands were still wet, and compared to the well-dressed Zhong Xian, he looked a little embarrassed. When he realized this belatedly, he suddenly felt embarrassed and wiped his face stiffly with the back of his hand, which ended up smearing his face with water as well, making him look even more embarrassed.
Seeing his face flushed with panic, Yu Xi almost wiped it with her sleeve. She quickly reached out to wipe his face and said happily, "Brother Su, don't be nervous. I'm back safe and sound. Were you planting something just now?"
Hearing Yu Xi take the initiative to talk to him, Su Xianyun's nervousness suddenly subsided a lot. He nodded quickly and continued, "I'm making medicine."
When people calm down, they behave more normally. He quickly cleaned himself with the cleaning technique and stretched out his hand towards Yu Xi.
"Junior sister, can I hug you? I've missed you so much these days."
He didn't speak particularly fluently, so in order not to appear to be stuttering, he spoke very slowly.
But his voice was pleasant to the eye. When he spoke patiently and softly, his slightly hoarse voice was almost indistinguishable from the melody played by the guqin.
People always like to hear pleasant sounds. Yu Xi's ears immediately perked up, and he happily stretched out his hand to Su Xianyun and said, "Okay!"
Zhong Xian's face changed.
Zhong Xian didn't want to give Yu Xi to anyone else, but since Xiao Xier was willing, he couldn't refuse.
Therefore, Zhong Xian felt extremely aggrieved, but he could only watch reluctantly as Su Xianyun took Yu Xi away.
Just as he was secretly hating Su Xianyun for disturbing his time with Xiao Xier, he saw Gu An walking up to Su Xianyun and saying something to Yu Xi, which made Yu Xi very happy and she touched his head.
Su Xianyun is different from Zhong Xian. He has social anxiety. Even if he is unhappy about Gu An getting close to him, he doesn't know what to say to tell Gu An to get lost. He can only watch Gu An and Yu Xi chatting silently.
But Su Xianyun didn't notice anything unusual. Zhong Xian was not someone who could be easily fooled. Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Gu An!
Gu An is young, and if he wants to hold Xiao Xier, he will definitely say he will not give her anything, but Su Xianyun is different.
Gu An lured Su Xianyun over, and then used Su Xianyun's power to get close to Xiao Xier!
This kid is really a black sesame filling!
Zhong Xian was just about to teach Gu An a lesson when he saw out of the corner of his eye that Ji Zhi was quietly hiding behind the window in the house, with only a pair of eyes showing as he looked over here eagerly. He endured it for a moment and finally decided to talk about business first.
At this time, Yu Xi also discovered that Ji Zhi had not appeared until now.
"Is Second Brother out?"
She wondered aloud.
Usually Ji Zhi would always come to find her first, but now it has been a long time and she hasn't seen Ji Zhi.
When Jizhi was mentioned, Gu An showed no expression, but Su Xianyun's expression obviously stiffened for a moment, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. He didn't know what to say.
[How should I explain Jizhi's situation... maybe it would be better if Jizhi himself spoke up...]
Sensing Su Xianyun's hesitation, Gu An spoke first:
"He didn't go out."
Yu Xi had already vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
She looked towards Su Xianyun's residence with a sense of something, and saw Jizhi hiding in Su Xianyun's house, looking at this side pitifully.
"Second brother?"
Yu Xi called out.
Seeing Jizhi tremble and immediately retract his head, Yu Xi quickly jumped out of Su Xianyun's arms and ran to the window quickly.
Just at this moment Ji Zhi also stuck his head out, and the two of them bumped into each other, looking into each other's eyes.
Jizhi let out a short cry, turned around and wanted to run, but he was wrapped up by Su Xianyun's magic thread and fell to the ground as soon as he turned around.
Yu Xi was startled and quickly climbed through the window to help him. However, as soon as she climbed through the window, she heard Ji Zhi's choked voice:
[I’m about to be discovered. My sister is about to find out and I can’t enjoy the food anymore…]
