After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 55

The afterglow of the setting sun streamed through the window, gently casting a shadow upon him. Today, he was dressed in the attire of the Hidden Dragon Guard, a navy blue hue that exuded a deep, solemn air. The tight, cross-collared top accentuated his formality. The cuffs were embroidered with delicate patterns, the patterns so delicate and exquisite that, in the afterglow, they seemed to shimmer with a mysterious light.

Even if he sat there quietly, he couldn't hide the cold aura emanating from him. He was like a silent iceberg, emitting a chill that made people dare not approach easily.

"Supervisor." Ye Yi's voice came from outside the door, crisp and loud, instantly breaking the silence in the room.

"What's the matter?" When he heard Ye Yi calling him, he answered without raising his head, and continued to write the unfinished memorial in his hand.

After hearing his response, Ye Yi replied, "The Second Young Master is here to look for you. He's standing at the door now. Would you like to bring him in?"

Ye Yunzhou finally put down the pen in his hand, raised his head and frowned, saying: "Bring him in."

Ye Yi bowed and replied, "Yes," then walked out of the yard.

The Hidden Dragon Guards are His Majesty's personal guards, directly under the Emperor's command. Naturally, no one is allowed to wander freely within the guards' premises, not even the relatives of the Hidden Dragon Guards. Only the Supervisor's approval is required before anyone can be brought into the reception room.

Ye Yunxing stood at the door of Yinlongsi, glancing inside from time to time. He was holding a lunch box in his hand, which contained snacks that the kitchen had hurriedly made.

After wasting half a day, it was already late. Ye Yunxing was about to return to the academy, but his mother stopped him. His mother told him to take some snacks to the Hidden Dragon Division and give them to his eldest brother. For this reason, he stopped by here specifically to give them to him personally.

Hearing the sound of the door opening with a creak, Ye Yunxing hurriedly took a few steps forward. It was indeed Ye Yi, "Second Young Master, the Inspector General wants you to come in."

Ye Yunxing followed Ye Yi to the reception room and looked up to see his elder brother already sitting in the room. His elder brother stood tall and straight, his expression stern yet with a hint of majesty.

Ye Yunxing looked at him, a complex emotion welling up in his heart, including the joy of seeing his relatives, as well as a hint of nervousness and awe.

He had been afraid of his eldest brother since he was a child. His mother was reluctant to hit him, and his father listened to his mother's words. Only his eldest brother would not give face to anyone else.

As a child, he was a mischievous child. He once got into a fight with another young man and broke his head. Back then, his eldest brother was merciless. From then on, he was in awe of his eldest brother, and every time he saw him, he couldn't help but feel nervous. Even now, as an adult, that childhood fear still lingers, making him always cautious in his eldest brother's presence.

Ye Yunzhou raised an eyebrow, and immediately saw that Ye Yunxing was afraid and guilty. "What mistakes have you made again?" His voice was low and majestic, with a hint of questioning.

When Ye Yunxing heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly shook his head vigorously to deny: "No, don't talk nonsense, what mistake could I have made."

As he spoke, his hands unconsciously tightened around the lunch box. Only then did he remember the purpose of his trip and hurriedly said, "My mother asked me to bring this to you."

Then, he quickly walked forward, placed the lunch box on the table in front of his brother, and took out several plates of snacks as if presenting treasures. "Brother, try it. It tastes delicious. It's completely different from the snacks we usually eat."

Ye Yunzhou frowned slightly, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes. He never liked eating such sweet things.

Ye Yunxing saw his elder brother's disdain and patted his chest and said, "Believe me, elder brother, this is delicious. It tastes completely different from the snacks we had before."

Ye Yunzhou looked at his brother's eagerness, and although he felt disgusted, he was also slightly touched. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to give his brother some face, reached out and picked up a piece of dessert, and put it in his mouth.

This pastry is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, offering a delicious and fragrant bite. The delicate texture blossoms on the tongue, a feast for the taste buds. The pastry melts in your mouth, and with just a few chews, the delicious flavor permeates, leaving a lingering aftertaste.

Ye Yunzhou was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary snack could taste so wonderful. A hint of imperceptible admiration flashed in his eyes.

Ye Yunxing noticed the admiration flashing in his elder brother's eyes, "How is it? Is it delicious?

He raised his chin proudly. "I told you it was delicious. I asked the kitchen to rush and make some. These are for you to try. I'm going to take the rest back to the academy and show off to everyone else there. This is what my sister made for me."

His face was filled with a smug smile, as if he had already seen the envious gazes of everyone in the academy.

Ye Yunzhou paused chewing, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Your sister did it. Which sister?" There was a hint of doubt and curiosity in his tone.

Hearing his brother's question, he straightened his back and said proudly, "Who else could it be? It's naturally Sister Yao. She's a great cook. This snack was made by her in the kitchen in a hurry."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunzhou moved slightly and then put the remaining snacks in his hand back on the table.

He stood up with a gloomy look, staring at Ye Yunxing closely, and said in a deep voice: "You have a good relationship with her?"

Ye Yunxing was still immersed in the pride of his sister's ability at this time, and did not notice the abnormality in his brother's expression. He replied naturally: "Of course, sister Yaoyao is both beautiful and gentle, and she can also make snacks."

At this point, he suddenly paused, a sense of unease welling up in his heart. He realized then that something was amiss with his elder brother's expression, as if he was dissatisfied with his relationship with Sister Yao. Ye Yunxing felt uneasy, not knowing where he had said the wrong thing. He didn't dare to speak again, but just stared at his elder brother nervously, waiting for his next reaction.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, the sunlight seemed to have lost its warmth, and only an uneasy silence remained.

Ye Yunzhou remained silent for a long while. Ye Yunxing breathed a sigh of relief. However, this relief didn't last long before he heard his brother ask, "Did I ever tell you that physical contact between men and women is forbidden?"

Ye Yunxing didn't dare to look up, but just stammered, "I did." His voice was very low, with a hint of guilt.

Ye Yunzhou took a step forward. "Did I ever tell you not to have any contact with her?"

Ye Yunxing lowered his head even lower, "I did."

Seeing his younger brother shrinking his head like a quail, Ye Yunzhou suddenly laughed in anger. He sneered and continued, "Since I told you, why didn't you listen?"

Ye Yunxing clenched the clothes around his legs with both hands, took a deep breath, and tried hard to suppress his instinctive fear of his brother.

"Brother, I'm grown up now. I'm not young anymore. I'm an adult. I know who's good and who's not, and I understand right from wrong. You've never met Sister Yao, and you completely deny her based on a few words you heard from somewhere. I don't agree with your point of view. If you met her, you would definitely like her."
