After Giving up, the Fake Young Lady Was Group-Pampered

284  Waking Up Angry

No.12 had just expressed his loyalty and didn't hear Yue Xin's answer when he heard the tightly shut door suddenly open not far away. Yi Chengxuan walked out neatly dressed.

Although he was as strict as usual, No.12 still realized that the current Yi Chengxuan was different from usual. If he had to say it, the gentleness between his eyebrows had disappeared, replaced by an indescribable hostility.

Before No.12 could think carefully, Yue Xin had already walked to his side and reminded him softly, "No.12, don't speak later. Yi Chengxuan has a morning temper. It's very terrifying."

Before No.12 could react to what Yue Xin meant by terrifying, he met Yi Chengxuan's eyes. What kind of eyes were those? No.12 did not know how to describe them. Even if he had already experienced so many life and death situations, even if he had struggled through cruel training since he was young, he would still be afraid of the despair contained in these eyes.

This was completely different from the Yi Chengxuan he was used to, who usually had a smile on his face and looked harmless.

No.12 subconsciously stayed where he was, not because Yue Xin reminded him not to speak, but because he could not say anything under Yi Chengxuan's current gaze.

Yue Xin was already used to Yi Chengxuan's gaze. Not only was she not afraid, but she also walked up to Yi Chengxuan and said righteously, "Yi Chengxuan, I can't sleep. Tell me a story."

No.12 only felt that the thick black aura on Yi Chengxuan's body quietly dissipated after Yue Xin said this. Although there was still some fatigue between his eyebrows, it was not as terrifying as before.

Yi Chengxuan said in a helpless tone, "I told you not to drink tea and eat snacks in the middle of the night. The tea you make is astringent and bitter. Even if you eat it with snacks, you won't be able to sleep."

Yue Xin said confidently, "But No.12 finished all of it just now."

Hearing this, Yi Chengxuan's gaze landed on No.12., who immediately felt that he had been seen through.

Yi Chengxuan walked past him and took a clean teacup from the table. He poured a glass of pure water and handed it to No.12 without saying a word.

No.12 took the teacup and took a sip. Indeed, his mouth felt a little more comfortable than before.

Yi Chengxuan walked up to Yue Xin again and looked into her eyes. His gaze suddenly became sharp, and Yue Xin refused to back down at all. She had an aura that said, "If you don't follow my instructions, don't even think about sleeping."

Five minutes later, the two of them were still staring at each other. No.12 took a sip of water to calm himself down.

Ten minutes later, the two of them were still staring at each other. No.12 finished the last sip of water in his teacup.

Twenty minutes later, Yi Chengxuan finally compromised. He turned to the study and took out a book. He said to Yue Xin, "Come here."

Yue Xin walked over. Only then did No.12 realize that there was an additional bedroom on the 36th floor. Number 12 hurriedly followed, afraid that Yue Xin would be deceived by the uncle.

Then, he saw Yue Xin lying peacefully on the bed in the bedroom with a peaceful expression. Yi Chengxuan was beside her, holding an Analects book in his hand and reading to Yue Xin in a very comfortable tone. So this was the story Yue Xin had asked about.

"If you don't know your fate, you won't be a gentleman. If you don't know your manners, you won't be able to stand up. If you don't know your words, you won't be able to know others."

"If you're not guilty, why should you be afraid?"

Number 12 was still vigilant, afraid that Yi Chengxuan would do something strange, but after listening for a while, there was only shock in No.12's heart. This was telling a story? The story world in any country would implode !

Yi Chengxuan read for nearly an hour before Yue Xin fell asleep.

When Yi Chengxuan walked out of Yue Xin's room, he looked exhausted. He passed by No. 12 and said, "You can rest on the sofa." Then he turned around and returned to the bedroom.

No.12 recalled how Yue Xin used Building No. 5 as Building No. 7, and Yi Chengxuan, who was made to "tell a story" by Yue Xin in the middle of the night. For a moment, he did not know what to feel.

At 8 a.m., Yi Chengxuan woke up on time and went into the study to read. At 10 a.m., Yue Xin also woke up. After washing up, she didn't treat herself as an outsider at all and went straight into the study. She picked up a book on the table and flipped to the page with a maple leaf and started reading.

No.12 noticed that the book Yue Xin was reading was called Historical Records.

No.12 had heard of this book, but he had never read it. One reason was that he had no time to read it. The other was that he did not know what reading this book could bring him.

Yue Xin read very seriously. After a while, she would discuss it with Yi Chengxuan.

"Yi Chengxuan, General Zhao Lianpo spent his entire life fighting in the Warring States Period, but he was forced to go to another country. In the end, he died in a foreign country. In half of his life, he did not obtain the trust of the emperor, but why did he still miss the Zhao Country before he died? I don't understand."
