Chapter 407 Is this... still our young master?
Liu Yunhe cautiously pushed open the door and was startled by Xiao Yihuo, who was standing with his back to the window.
Xiao Yihuo didn't turn around, but asked, "You're back, why aren't you saying anything?"
Liu Yunhe stammered, "No... it's just... I'm not used to it."
Not used to it?
Xiao Yihuo turned to look at Liu Yunhe, his eyes filled with confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Facing Xiao Yihuo's scrutinizing gaze, Liu Yunhe looked at him and said, "Young Master, didn't you always like to wear black or dark-colored clothes? I clearly remember that when I left the room, you were wearing black, so why..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yihuo's expression stiffened and became somewhat unnatural, with a hint of shame and indignation appearing between his brows and eyes. He immediately interrupted in a slightly hurried voice, "Enough talk."
Then, with a slightly evasive expression, he explained, "I changed it when I wanted to. I thought it was pretty good in the town where I stayed before, so I bought it."
Xiao Yihuo had never explained anything to him before, but today he said so much, as if afraid that he would misunderstand something. This really made Liu Yunhe feel a little uncomfortable, and he stood there stunned.
This……
Is he still our young master?
Liu Yunhe stood there stunned for a long time. When he saw Xiao Yihuo sit down at the table and want to pour tea, Liu Yunhe quickly walked to the table and poured tea for Xiao Yihuo.
Upon seeing this, Liu Yunhe immediately came over to help Xiao Yihuo pour tea.
this time.
Xiao Yihuo did not refuse. He picked up the tea that Liu Yunhe had poured for him, took a small sip, and asked, "How's the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Getting back to the main point, Liu Yunhe's expression immediately turned serious as he reported, "I hid in the shadows and watched that room for a long time, but I didn't see anyone come out until the commotion on the ship subsided, at which point I saw someone enter the room."
"who?"
Liu Yunhe recalled for a moment and said, "A middle-aged scholar-looking man went in and never came out again. That's why I came to report to you, young master."
Hear the words.
Xiao Yihuo's expression turned serious.
"Young master, is that person suspicious?"
As he spoke, Liu Yunhe seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right, I also saw Brother Guan. He looked terribly seasick. I wanted to help him, but I remembered what the young master told me to do not attract attention, so I didn't. After things calmed down, Brother Guan staggered downstairs."
Although Xiao Yihuo's expression was still somewhat solemn, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Go and keep an eye on that room again. If there is no movement before the bamboo curtain falls, you don't need to keep an eye on it anymore."
"Okay, I'll go now!"
"Wait a minute."
Liu Yunhe stopped and asked, "Is there anything else you wish to tell me, young master?"
Xiao Yihuo gestured for Liu Yunhe to sit down, looked at the food he had bought on the table, and slowly said, "No rush, let's eat first before we go."
The words fell.
Respect and gratitude immediately welled up in Liu Yunhe's eyes, and he said gratefully, "Yes, thank you, young master!"
After saying that, Liu Yunhe looked at the closed door to the side, his eyes filled with worry, and asked again in a soft voice, "How is Brother Qingchuan? Is his seasickness any better? Has he eaten yet?"
Xiao Yihuo gave a soft "hmm" and said, "I bought two portions of food and put them in his room. He said he would get up to eat when he felt better."
"And what about the young master?"
"I ate out before coming back. I bought all of this for you, so don't worry about eating."
"Ok!"
Having been hiding outside and keeping watch for so long, Liu Yunhe was starving. Smelling the aroma of food wafting out, he couldn't wait any longer and opened the food, happily starting to eat.
Xiao Yihuo's gaze lingered on Liu Yunhe's face, accompanied by a hint of contemplation.
"What's the name of that storybook you often read?"
Just as Liu Yunhe was enjoying his meal, he was caught off guard by Xiao Yihuo's question and coughed violently.
Suddenly, the food in my hand didn't taste good anymore, my heart was in my throat, and I looked extremely flustered.
"what happened?"
"Ahem! Ahem! Young master, why did you suddenly ask this?"
Although Liu Yunhe tried his best to appear calm, there was still a hint of panic and guilt on his face.
Xiao Yihuo said calmly, "It's nothing. I've finished reading the book I bought before, and there's nothing else to do on this pleasure boat, so I wanted to borrow it to pass the time."
Before Liu Yunhe could respond, Xiao Yihuo narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them, and then said, "If I remember correctly, the book you read most often is called 'I'm Making a Fortune in the Six Doors,' right?"
"Yes...that's right."
Liu Yunhe's heart pounded, and he put down the food in his hand and said, "If you want to see it, young master, I will go and get it for you right away."
"Ah."
Liu Yunhe walked to his luggage, took a moment to catch his breath, picked up the book, lingered for a few moments before returning to the table and handing it to Xiao Yihuo.
Xiao Yihuo took the book, opened it to the first page, and began to read it with upright posture, no longer glancing at Liu Yunhe. Liu Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, carefully sat down and continued eating, trying his best not to make a sound.
Liu Yunhe quickly finished his meal, then stood up and tentatively said in a low voice, "Well... young master, I'll continue keeping an eye on things."
Xiao Yihuo did not look up, but gave a soft "hmm".
Liu Yunhe tiptoed to the door, then stopped. Xiao Yihuo looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Liu Yunhe chuckled a few times, looking somewhat embarrassed but also quite frank, "I just wanted to say that you look very good in light-colored clothes, no, you look especially good, really! I'm not flattering you, they really suit you. That's why I was stunned when I came in, I thought someone else had come in."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yihuo paused in his book-turning, and a hint of awkward embarrassment appeared on his face, but he remained silent.
After saying that, Liu Yunhe's gaze fell on the book again, and he said with a hint of panic in his expression, "I've read this book many times. Young master, please take your time reading it. There's no need to rush to return it to me. Well... I'll be going now."
Xiao Yihuo gave a soft "hmm" to indicate that he understood, and then turned his gaze back to the book in front of him.
After hearing the door open and close softly, Xiao Yihuo flipped through the book in his hand and, sure enough, found the name 'Worry-Free Guest' at the end of the book.
It is indeed Lin Lezhi's handwriting.
Looking at these three elegant words, a faint smile unconsciously crept onto my lips.
have to say.
These three characters are much neater than the previous scribbles, and can be considered quite remarkable. They are elegant and have a touch of free and unrestrained style.
With the sound of the door being pushed open, a flicker of panic flashed in Xiao Yihuo's eyes, and he quickly slammed the storybook shut on the table. Then, he looked as naturally as possible toward the source of the sound.
Qingchuan gently pushed open the door and slowly walked out from the inner room, showing no signs of seasickness on his face.
