The End Times as a Song

Chapter 330 I can’t hide it anymore

"Let me go! No, isn't this Huan'er...? Who's under the covers...?"

Xiao Yuanran broke free from Zheyi's hands and pressed him for answers.

“Aran…”

"If it's Huan'er, why isn't she making a sound?"

"This this……"

After stammering and failing to give a coherent explanation, Xiao Yuanran became extremely anxious.

"Where is Tu Shanyan? Tu Shanyan and Huan'er are always inseparable...? Wherever Huan'er goes, Tu Shanyan will be there too? Since Tu Shanyan isn't here, Huan'er definitely isn't here either. Who is this person on the bed? Zheyi, tell me quickly! What exactly is going on?"

At this moment, a deathly silence fell, neither Zheyi nor Xiongxi dared to utter a sound. Only Xiao Yuanran continued to press for answers.

"Ran Niang, where are you? I have something to tell you."

"Woman...?"

"Woman, I'm here? I'm in Huan'er's room."

The old woman, leaning on her cane, rushed in!

"Ran Niang, I...I..."

"Woman, speak slowly, there's no rush."

“Huan’er, Tu Shanyan…”

"What's wrong with Huan'er...?"

"Sigh... Ran Niang, are you still in the dark? Huan'er and Tu Shan Yan have left the village again. I knew you wouldn't know. Tu Shan Yan, that brat, knocked me unconscious and took Huan'er to that Chifeng again. Huan'er even said she was looking for something... Oh right, it's that white magnolia hairpin you gave me."

"No wonder Broken Wing was stammering when he spoke to Bear Attack...! How long are you trying to keep this from me?"

"Aran, Xiong Xi and I are doing this for your own good...!"

"For my own good...? You kept such an important matter as Huan'er and Tu Shanyan leaving Fangcao Village from me... and you dare to say it's for my own good? If my mother-in-law hadn't told me in time...? How long were you planning to keep this from me?"

Speechless for a moment, I didn't know what to say...!

"..."

"Broken Wing, speak...? Why aren't you saying anything...? Why aren't you answering me...? How long are you planning to keep this from me?"

Xiao Yuanran, however, pressed Zheyi relentlessly, demanding more information. Left with no other option, Zheyi could only stammer out a few perfunctory words to Xiao Yuanran.

"Aran...this...look, the children are all grown up now, so don't worry about them. We kept it from you because we were thinking of you...! Don't get angry, it's not good for your health."

Perhaps pushed to the limit by Xiao Yuanran, he unleashed a torrent of words in a burst of anger.

Xiao Yuanran calmed down considerably after hearing Zheyi's words. Zheyi also clearly sensed that Xiao Yuanran's emotions had been calmed down. He continued speaking to Xiao Yuanran.

"Aran, don't be angry...! It was all my idea... I was just worried about your health! You can't see now, so even if you know Huan'er left Fangcao Village, what can you do? It's all in vain."

With a sudden burst of courage, Zheyi spoke his mind.

"If what you're saying is true, does that mean we should just let Huan'er do whatever she wants?"

"That's not it either...?"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Broken Wings was back to square one, losing all its former imposing manner. Broken Wings could only purse its lips and rub its hands together to ease the awkward atmosphere.

“Mother Ran, I originally wanted to tell you that Sister Huan’er left the village, but Uncle Zhe wouldn’t let me. At first, I didn’t know why. But now that I’ve heard what Uncle Zhe said, I think I can understand what he did…?”

At that moment, Xiong Xi couldn't wait to throw off the covers and pop out of bed to help Zheyi out of his predicament.

"Xiong Xi, you're here too...?"
