Thank you San Xiaojie for the kofi ?
While being stared at by the protagonist gong and shou's scorching gazes, Sui Yuan wanted to express that he felt greatly pressured. He raised his head, expression puzzled as he touched his face, "…What's wrong? Is there something strange about me?"
Yang Yue rubbed his nose and tried to probe, "Do you feel anything off? For example, are you cold or do you feel like there's a heavy weight pressing down on you?"
As soon as he heard Yang Yue speak like this, Sui Yuan understood in an instant. Zhao Xihe was definitely messing around! If you have the ability to perform little tricks in the dark, then you have the ability to let me see you, ah! How about we meet in the open, OK?!
Even if he was puffing up his fur in fury inside, Sui Yuan still maintained a nervous and skeptical appearance, "N-no…What's going on?"
Seeing that the timid Xiao Xiao was about to be scared senseless , Yang Yue consoled him at once, "Don't think too much. I was just worried that you were too cold last night and may have caught a cold, that's all. Thus, I thought to just ask."
Sui Yuan："……………………"
——Protagonist shou, even if you're doing this half-heartedly would it kill you to be a bit more professional? Would someone ask about a cold in this way? Are you bullying me because you think I'm uneducated?!
Evidently, not to even mention Sui Yuan, no one else would believe this clumsy excuse. It was simply mocking other people's intellect!
The robust girl glanced to either side with hesitation. In the end, she nervously fixed her gaze onto Sui Yuan, "Yang Yue, it can't be that you see…something strange, ah? Could it be on Xiao Xiao's body?"
The quiet and gentle looking girl accidentally knocked over the cup of milk by her side and nearly screamed. The bespectacled youth however, was much more calm. He only gazed at Yang Yue, awaiting his response.
"Don't speak nonsense!" Yang Yue chided as he saw Xiao Xiao's little face begin to pale. He walked to his side and sat down, tidying Sui Yuan's hair in an intimate manner.
Seeing this, it seemed like Yang Yue indeed did not see some strange thing on Xiao Xiao. Otherwise, he definitely would not dare approach Xiao Xiao so casually. Only then did everyone ease up. They lowered their heads after recovering from the shock and continued settling the breakfast before them.
Everyone seemed to have rested adequately last night. At least they had an appet.i.te and did not have difficulty swallowing their delicious breakfast. Only, their friend's death still made them appear like birds that would startle at the mere tw.a.n.g of a bow. They didn't even have the energy to smile.
Ming Hai sat on Sui Yuan's other side. His sharp gaze would occasionally sweep over his shoulders, in an attempt to find some vestige of the ghost's existence. Meanwhile, Yang Yue's gaze directly met with the ghost's. He could clearly make out the malicious intentions within those long and narrow eyes beneath his gla.s.ses.
The ghost clung onto Sui Yuan's shoulders and flashed a lazy smile towards Yang Yue. Afterwards, he lowered his head provokingly and licked the corner of Sui Yuan's mouth before kissing him, completely unrestrained.
Yang Yue silently bent the fork in his hands. But he had no choice but to force out a stiff smile to placate Sui Yuan when he looked at him in horror.
Sui Yuan: …Protagonist shou, why are you unexpectedly so strong? This was unscientific!
Yang Yue: …His beloved was being dallied with right in front of him. He also wore a silly cute expression, completely in the dark about it all. Who else could feel as crushed as he did?!
Ming Hai: …From my good friend's expression, I can tell that my beloved is being dallied with. However, I can't see anything right now. It's really crus.h.i.+ng, OK?!
It was in this way that this trio of crushed souls finally finished their especially torturous breakfast. They gathered together with the others and discussed how they should go about looking for that butler daren who was rumoured to be 'everywhere', but had no set position.
Sui Yuan listened to them discuss in silence. He didn't know what kind of expression he ought to show.
——Look at me, ah! Quickly look at the one hanging on my body! Don't you think he looks very familiar? Don't you think he is very in line with the image of a dignified butler with a stomach full of evil tricks?!
As if he could hear the screams inside Sui Yuan's heart, Yang Yue suddenly turned to sweep a glance at him. He looked as if he was enduring something in silence, before he quietly averted his gaze once more.
Sui Yuan："……………………"
——Could this be the so-called 'dark under the light'? Clearly, he was right before his eyes, but why did he still ignore him? Was this due to the plot's inertia? In the plot, the process of finding the butler was not easy, so even if the butler was in front of him right now, the protagonists would not suspect him at all?
Except that, what exactly was that b*stard Zhao Xihe doing to make Yang Yue react in such a way?! To actually make Yang Yue expose such an expression as if he can't bear to continue looking…Sui Yuan felt uneasy all over, as if he was doing some kind of shameful PLAY in front of the protagonist shou. What was even worse was that he didn't even know what this PLAY consisted of.
For the rest of the day, everyone aimlessly strolled throughout the manor. During this time, the protagonist gong and shou never strayed from Sui Yuan's side, as if they were afraid that if they so much as blinked, he could be taken away in the mouth of some strange being.
…Even his bathroom time was no exception.
Sui Yuan："……………………"
Wouldn't this kind of weird behaviour definitely be perceived by the Destroyer? He should have already known that Zhao Xihe was unreliable, ah! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Of course, what was the most important was that the person who was supposed to die on the second day continued to live. Aside from a false alarm, aside from being tense all day until dinner, there were no serious injuries.
