Oh my god! I've become the vicious female supporting character's brother.

Ye Zhen'an's eyes were red, and he walked down the attic with unsteady steps as he spoke.

Yu Xiangwan's hands were still in the same position as when the cake was knocked over.

A little stiff.

A little...overwhelmed.

Is this his only failure case?

Yu Xiangwan was stunned and didn't know how long he had been standing in the cold wind.

Looking at the mess on the ground.

Yu Xiangwan bent over and squatted on the ground, lowering his eyes. His white and shiny fingers trembled slightly uncontrollably, almost invisible, as he slowly put noodles, chopsticks, and poached eggs into the bowl.

He gathered the scattered cake into a jade plate beside him.

Gather the small red square boxes that have fallen out of the cake together.

He took out a handkerchief and wiped away all traces of the attic cream and noodle soup.

Starting tomorrow, the attic will be back to normal.

No one knew that there was once a bowl of longevity noodles on the round table.

No one knew about the mess of noodle soup and cake.

Everything will be the same as usual.

He thought they were friends.

It turns out that I was just being sentimental.

Yeah.

Flattery hits the horse's leg.

I hope Ye Zhen'an won't be angry about his wishful thinking.

After all, he is narrow-minded.

Yu Xiangwan felt ashamed and secretly threw away all his things before returning to his room.

Some of the noodle soup seeped through his clothes, making him feel sticky.

I've been working hard for several days.

Yu Xiangwan fell into a deep sleep after taking a bath.

Just a good night's sleep...

●

Mid April.

As the first snow melts, the originally bare branches sprout tender yellow new buds, and all things revive and become full of vitality.

There has been a big event in Beijing recently.

Rumor has it that an immortal is coming to the capital to recruit disciples, and anyone of any status can participate.

There was an uproar in the capital.

Yu Xiangwan and Yun said they wanted to take Yu Jiaoyue to try it out.

Yun was silent for a long time.

There was a gleam in his eyes that Yu Xiangwan could not understand.

Finally compromised

"Go."

"Changle is still young, take good care of her."

"Take care of yourself, too."

Yu Xiangwan felt that Yun's tone was unusual.

But he couldn't ask what Yun didn't want to say.

I don’t know whether this trip will be a blessing or a curse.

He was worried that his sister wouldn't be elected, and he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to protect her even if she was elected.

He was worried that after they left, A Niang would be the only one left in Tingyu Courtyard.

Yu Xiangwan was in a complicated mood.

Almost collided with someone.

He raised his eyes and met the visitor's eyes.

It’s Ye Zhen’an.

The youth had a striking complexion, a pure and unrivaled purity. He was taller, with a distinguished aura, standing like a delicate orchid, his smile like the full moon in one's arms.

Since their last separation, they have returned to their previous way of getting along.

Of course, there was also the fact that Yu Xiangwan felt embarrassed and deliberately avoided it.

This was the first time the two had met in several months.

Yu Xiangwan was still wearing a sapphire jade robe, and his face was still exquisite. After not seeing him for a few months, his facial features had grown a little, like a pearl that had just appeared, making him even more eye-catching.

Yu Xiangwan smiled indifferently, as if the past had never happened, his voice was warm and cold.

"Young Master Ye came to see my mother, I wonder why?"

"I have been bothering you for a long time, so I came to say goodbye to you and my wife."

Yu Xiangwan understood and thought that he was going to seek the immortals and ask for the way.

"Now that we've said goodbye, go tell my mother. I have something to do, so I can't accompany you." Yu Xiangwan said.

"and many more."

Yu Xiangwan turned around and looked at Ye Zhen'an, confused.

"This is the silver you used to redeem me. I'm returning it to you now."

As Ye Zhen'an spoke, he handed the tens of thousands of taels of silver in his arms to Yu Xiangwan.

Yu Xiangwan lowered his eyes and looked at Ye Zhenan who was only a few feet away from him, secretly wondering what Ye Zhenan meant.

The young man's fingers were slender and white like jade. He handed the silver note in his hand to Yu Xiangwan.

Ye Zhen'an realized belatedly that this statement was ambiguous, as if he was trying to sever ties with Yu Xiangwan. He was about to say something else.

Yu Xiangwan had already reached out and took the banknote from his hand, his expression still gentle and his eyebrows and eyes calm.

"That's fine too."

Anyway, his purpose was just to prevent Ye Zhen'an from implicating their family.

At the moment, it seems that Ye Zhen'an has no reason to hold a grudge against them.

Ninety-one thousand taels of silver was indeed a large sum of money. It would be better if he paid it back, as it would just be enough for his mother to use.

But Ye Zhen'an is quite powerful.

In just a few years, he's already made so much money. He's really good at making money. I wonder how he did it...

Ye Zhen'an looked at the boy's back as he walked away, and in the end said nothing.

After Yu Xiangwan returned, he found out that the amount was 95,000 taels, and he had given 4,000 taels too much.

Quite generous.

Yu Xiangwan gladly accepted it.

After saying goodbye to Yun, Ye Zhen'an returned to her room to pack her things. Suddenly, she remembered the bowl of porridge Yu Xiangwan had brought her in the middle of the night when she first entered Tingyu Courtyard...

Although there was porridge being made in the kitchen at the back, it was not as delicious as the one that night.

It’s still early, Ye Zhenan asked the maid who was serving food in the room.

"Yunxue, do you know if the kitchen is making porridge today?"

Yun Xue was startled when she heard this, but she still answered respectfully. Young Master Ye was handsome and had a good temper, just like the young master and the young lady. Everyone in the courtyard liked him very much.

"I wonder if you still remember what the porridge looks like?" Yun Xue had a vague guess in her mind when Ye Zhen'an asked.

"It's nothing special. I just remember there were two eggs in the porridge." Ye Zhen'an thought for a while and replied.

Yun Xue smiled and said, "The porridge you mentioned, my young master, can be made in the kitchen, but it can't taste as good as my young master's."

Ye Zhen'an was stunned, as if he didn't expect Yu Xiangwan to cook in person.

"The ones made in the kitchen always put one egg in the egg, but my young master always puts two eggs in the egg. He said that two yellow orioles singing in the green willows should come in pairs, which means good things come in pairs."

Yunxue couldn't help but smile when she thought of the way her young master said this.

Time has passed, and the young master is now fourteen years old. He is no longer the delicate and graceful little boy he used to be.

Yunxue recalled Yu Xiangwan and suddenly started talking.

"But not long ago, my young master was thinking about a cake in the kitchen. The cake he made was very fragrant and looked beautiful."

"But the young master is so secretive that even the lady doesn't know. If the lady knew, she would definitely pester the young master to make a cute pose for her..."

Ye Zhen'an's fingers trembled slightly and his face was paler than usual.

There was a buzzing in his ears and Yun Xue's voice disappeared.

He suddenly remembered the 29th day of the first lunar month, when Yu Xiangwan carefully brought out that strange pastry...

And the astonishment in the boy's eyes when he knocked over the pastry.

He seemed to have said something at that time...

He said this was his first time doing it and asked me not to be disgusted...

"Oh, sir, this is your contract. My master prepared it for you on the first day you arrived at the mansion. He instructed me to give it to you when you leave the Prime Minister's Mansion..."

Yunxue's voice was still intermittent. Ye Zhen'an came back to his senses and looked at the contract that Yunxue had placed on the table. There was some panic in his eyes and his voice was hoarse.

"It's alright, you can go down now."

Yunxue retreated with a puzzled look on her face.

Ye Zhen'an looked at the exquisite side dishes on the table and felt bored.

He reached out and picked up the contract that had trapped him in the brothel. At the time, he thought Yu Xiangwan had other motives, but when he got his body contract, he instructed someone to change the slave contract to a free contract, and even planned his departure...

Ye Zhen'an is now filled with regret.

He shouldn't have expressed his emotions to Yu Xiangwan.

He did not tell Yu Xiangwan the whole story, and Yu Xiangwan did not know the reason, but he took his anger out on him.

Ye Zhen'an now only knew that Yu Xiang'an's true love was swept to the ground by him on the snowy night of the 29th day of the first lunar month.

Ye Zhen'an came to the attic and looked at the spotless attic.

Everything was as if it had never happened.

Ye Zhen'an came out and met Yu Xiangwan again at the rockery and flowing water.

Yu Xiangwan didn't expect that he would meet Ye Zhenan again just after he handed the unexpected money to his mother.

It’s really... unlucky.

I don't know what kind of blow this man has suffered, he looks absent-minded.

"Yu Xiangwan..."

"The twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month..."

When Yu Xiangwan heard Ye Zhen'an's voice, he felt helpless.

"No problem, it's my fault."

Yu Xiangwan's voice was still clear and gentle, but he nailed the leaf pillow back in place.

After what happened that day, whether Ye Zhen'an expressed his apology or brought up the past, it would not be a good thing for him.

He just felt embarrassed now.

All that’s left is to dig out the Wolf Castle of Big Bad Wolf Snake Year.
