Chapter 508 Side CP Extra: Yingying X Zhang Siyuan 10
Chapter 508 Side CP Extra: Yingying X Zhang Siyuan 10
Whether he can be considered a suitable son or not remains to be seen, but if he really dares to recognize Yingying as his adopted son, Zhang Siyuan will definitely cause a huge uproar. The wife he was pursuing so well suddenly becomes his uncle, which is nothing short of immoral.
At this moment, Zhang Siyuan was sleeping soundly, hugging his pillow, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.
In his dream, he gave the jade pendant he had bought to Yingying's wife. Yingying's wife was very happy and pleased. She didn't even scold him when he called her Yingying's wife anymore. Instead, she smiled sweetly at him and took the initiative to touch his head, cup his face, and lean down to kiss his forehead...
"Hehehe, Yingying's wife..."
Zhang Er, who was on duty outside the door, suddenly heard a noise coming from inside the house. He turned his head and leaned closer to the wooden door to listen, but there was no sound. He then shook his head and muttered to himself, "I thought the young master was going to get up in the middle of the night. It seems I was just imagining things."
So he stood back up, yawning, wondering how much longer it would be before the next brother took his turn to keep watch...
The next morning, Zhang Siyuan's room was in chaos. Zhang Da, Zhang Er, and the servants who came to tidy up the bedding were all trying not to laugh. They had to comfort the humiliated and indignant Zhang Siyuan for a while before they calmed him down. But Zhang Siyuan, who had been crying, still felt ashamed to face anyone. In the end, he didn't even eat breakfast with his grandparents and ran to the small teahouse with his "belongings".
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were overjoyed upon hearing this news. They never expected their simple-minded grandson to have such a bright future. They felt there was hope for the continuation of the Zhang family line and couldn't stop smiling. However, their joy was short-lived, as they were deeply disappointed by what their servants relayed—
"Waaaaah, I wet the bed because Yingying kissed me! She'll definitely be disgusted with me if she finds out!"
Very well, this time their hearts were truly broken. After learning the truth about their grandson's enlightenment, the couple felt like they were chewing wax, unable to swallow their food, and only managed to pick up a couple of bites before stopping.
Zhang Siyuan was unaware of the inner turmoil of the Zhang family elders, and Yingying was even less aware of it. One of them was waiting at the old spot, the only difference being that he now had a copy of the "Thousand Character Classic" in his hand, while the other strolled leisurely toward the small shop.
Some regular customers were quite surprised to see the young master of the Zhang family reading a book. Finally, one busybody went over and asked, "I didn't expect the young master of the Zhang family to be reading a book. Can you understand what's written on it?"
Zhang Siyuan straightened his back instantly. "I understand. Yingying taught me twelve big characters, and I've memorized them all!"
"You really know it?" The man and his companion looked at him with disbelief.
"Hmm!" Zhang Siyuan proudly raised his head, and without waiting for the other person to ask, he pointed to the first twelve characters and read them aloud, which amazed the other person.
Zhang Siyuan smiled broadly, having long forgotten her embarrassment from the morning, and looked quite pleased with herself.
Grandpa and Grandma praised him last night. When Yingying's wife comes back, he will read it to her again. Will Yingying's wife praise him for being smart?
Thinking this through, Zhang Siyuan decided to work harder in the future, ignoring the curious people who surrounded him and disturbed his reading. When he got annoyed by their questions, he simply had Zhang Da and Zhang Er chase them away.
He waited with great anticipation, glancing at the book and then at the street corners, hoping to see if his beloved wife, Yingying, had returned. Besides wanting to be praised by her, he also longed for a kiss from her. He wondered if, after giving her the jade pendant, she would kiss him as she had in his dreams. He didn't need much, just a kiss would be enough...
When Yingying arrived at the shop, this was the scene she saw—outside the small teahouse, under a canopy, a silly young master dressed in a gorgeous yellow-green brocade robe was holding a book, shaking his head and seemingly muttering to himself.
"This idiot is actually quite ambitious."
Yingying muttered something to herself, and as soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Siyuan, who had been engrossed in his book, looked up at her, then jumped up, put down his book, and ran towards her with a smile.
"Yingying! You're finally back!"
"stop!"
As soon as she saw him rushing towards her, Yingying's first reaction was to shout "Stop!" What a joke! If he were to pounce on her again in the street, wouldn't he lose face?
Zhang Siyuan slammed on the brakes, stood in front of Yingying, and shyly called out, "Yingying."
Upon seeing Yingying's wife, Zhang Siyuan couldn't help but imagine the scene of her lowering her head to kiss him, his cheeks quickly turning pink and the tips of his ears starting to turn red.
Yingying: "..."
Something's not right. The silly young master seems overjoyed, almost unusually happy, and... what's with that flirtatious, shy expression in his eyes? Looking at his bright red face, Yingying asked, "Are you feverish? Your face is so red?"
Zhang Siyuan blushed unconsciously when she met his gaze, and stammered, "No, no, Siyuan is hot."
Yingying said "Oh," and wondered if it was really that hot. He wasn't dressed that warmly.
"Yingying, Siyuan bought you some nice things. Yingying, wait for Siyuan, I'll go get them now." Zhang Siyuan was eager to give the jade pendant, looking forward to the "reward" his wife Yingying would receive it. After saying that, he ran back without waiting for Yingying's response for the first time.
"Wait a minute." Yingying frowned, called out to Zhang Siyuan, and said as she walked over, "I'll go in with you."
I don't know what's gotten into this silly young master, but I suddenly want to buy him something. I hope it's not something strange or expensive.
Zhang Siyuan was overjoyed. "Okay, Yingying, go in with Siyuan."
He liked it when Yingying's wife came to his place, just like in a dream...
Upon arriving at Zhang Siyuan's room, Yingying looked around and felt that the Zhang family elders were truly exceptionally kind to this silly young master. The room's materials and furnishings clearly indicated meticulous preparation; in two words: luxurious and comfortable.
"Yingying, sit here," Zhang Siyuan said. After Yingying sat down, he took out the things he had bought yesterday and placed them on the table one by one. Then, looking at Yingying who was silently staring at the boxes on the table, he said cheerfully, "Yingying, these are all gifts from Siyuan. Do you like them?"
As he spoke, he opened the boxes one by one, revealing hair ornaments, earrings, pendants, masks... as well as the crane and lotus jade pendant that he had specially placed in front of Yingying.
The moment Yingying saw the Crane Lotus Jade Pendant, her eyes flickered slightly.
Zhang Siyuan didn't notice; he focused on the jade pendant, explaining how he chose it yesterday, how he felt it was perfect for Yingying the moment he saw it, and how he almost got bumped into on his way out, tearing his clothes, but thankfully the jade pendant was unharmed.
"Yingying, that person is awful. Siyuan doesn't like him. He almost knocked away the jade pendant Siyuan was going to give to Yingying," Zhang Siyuan said angrily.
Yingying listened without commenting, only asking, "Did he hurt you?"
Zhang Siyuan shook his head, "No."
Yingying said, "That's good, but I can't accept gifts without having done something right. These things of yours are too valuable, I can't accept them."
Zhang Siyuan looked hurt, even though he only heard the last sentence.
“Why can’t Yingying accept them? These are all items that Siyuan has been picking out for a long, long time. They are all very beautiful and suitable for Yingying, especially this jade pendant.”
Yingying lowered her eyes to look at the crane and lotus jade pendant he presented to her. The combination of crane and lotus was indeed beautiful, like lotus petals transforming into cranes, or like cranes dancing on blooming blue lotuses.
Zhang Siyuan gazed quietly at Yingying's wife's lowered face and said with utmost seriousness, "Yingying, I want to give you this jade pendant. Would you like to accept it?"
