Chapter 2: The Growing Up of Sorrow
Chapter II
When Wu You and Feng Junyi returned to the main mansion together, it was already the second day of the avalanche, however, Wu You didn't even have time to rest after he came back, and after handing over the luggage to the servant, he immediately went to Master Feng's study.
"Please punish the master. In the spacious study, Wu You stood in front of the desk with his head down, his expression full of seriousness and self-reproach.
The man known as "Master" raised his eyes impatiently and looked at him, and then continued to deal with the text at hand: "Tell me, what did you do wrong." ”
"As the housekeeper of the Feng family, I didn't protect the young master in time, and I am really ashamed of the Feng family's care......" After saying that, Wu You slowly bent down and bowed deeply to the man sitting behind the desk, "Please also ask the master to punish him." ”
However, Master Feng didn't give any reply, he still put his eyes on Wen Jiàn, flipping through it from time to time, but the frowning between his eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and even the movement of turning the page became louder and louder, extremely irritable, and his face was irritable and unbearable. Wu You looked at the man's somewhat sluggish eyes with his spare eyes, and the first time he saw him suddenly flashed in his mind—young, high-spirited, and far from the vicissitudes of life now.
Master Feng is the father of the protagonist and the current owner of the Feng family. Ten years ago, he married the daughter of the original owner of the Feng family, and then inherited the family property in the hands of his father-in-law, who died of illness. His wife was an only child, and she died in an accident, leaving him no children. In order to have a successor to this huge family property, Master Feng took back his biological son Feng Junyi from the orphanage four years ago......
"Smack!" A loud voice interrupted Wu You's memories, and before he could react, Master Feng suddenly threw the Wen jiàn he had just closed on the ground, panting angrily. Suddenly, I saw him rudely open the drawer of the desk, take out a medicine bottle from it, unscrew it, pour out the pills, and swallow it.
A hint of clarity flashed in Wu You's eyes.
After taking the medicine, Master Feng took a deep breath, as if he was suppressing something, and then, he shifted his gaze to Wu You, and the bloodshot in his eyes was a little terrifying.
"It's good for you to decide this little thing! Go to the small black room to reflect, or go back to the wall! Don't bother me!"
"I understand, excuse me," after a pause, Wu You spoke again, "Please take care of your body, don't be too tired." ”
Bowing lightly again, Wu You took a few steps backwards before straightening up and exiting the study.
Closing the door with his hand, Wu You breathed a sigh of relief at the door. In order to play a loyal housekeeper and make Master Feng completely trust him, such a major event as "let the young master encounter an avalanche", even if Wu You is reluctant, he can't learn the image of the housekeeper in his impression and consciously find punishment.
But he should be glad that Master Feng is in a bad mental state today, and he has no time to take care of his business, otherwise how can he let him pick his own punishment.
Yes, go back to the room and "face the wall"...... As for whether it is introspection or sleeping, who knows.
Wu You grinned like a scoundrel, turned around and walked towards his room, but as soon as he took a step, he thought of something and seemed to have to change directions, and went to the housekeeper's room instead. After explaining some of today's events to his subordinates, Wu You turned around and walked towards Feng Junyi's room. Only, just as he was moving slowly......
-- Let's take a little bit of a dose tonight.
Su Yanzhi's voice suddenly sounded in the depths of his mind, causing Wu You's steps to pause. Pretending to stop and straighten his sleeves, after the passing servants walked away, Wu You took a new step.
――So that he doesn't notice something?
He asked casually in his heart.
- Well, not in a hurry.
- You can really hold your breath......
However, Su Yanzhi didn't say anything, seeing this, Wu You didn't say anything anymore, he agreed casually, and after still not hearing any movement, he pouted silently.
No one noticed the episode that happened to the butler, and the pace of everyone in the main house was still the same. Wu You walked casually on the smooth floor, as if he was just walking in his own yard, and when he stopped again, it was in front of Feng Junyi's door.
"Young Master, I'm Su Yanzhi. Knocking on the door panel just right, it will not frighten the people in the room, nor will it make people inaudible, and the long-term acting has made Wu You develop perfect etiquette habits.
It is estimated that he heard and noticed Wu You's storage, and the people in the room began to move, and Wu You could even hear footsteps getting closer and closer.
"Click-", the sound of the door lock turning sounded, and the next second, Feng Junyi appeared with a head of hair that was still dripping, and his face was still unwavering, as usual.
Wu You's smiling expression froze, and he suddenly sped up his speech, with a little worry in his voice: "Can you let me go to the young master's room to get a towel?"
Feng Junyi glanced at Wu You when he heard this, and then turned his body sideways to let him in.
"It's rude. ”
Striding past Feng Junyi, Wu Youyi went to the bathroom, and when he came out again, he already had a dry towel in his hand. Feng Junyi probably expected Wu You's actions, and had already consciously sat on the chair, he leaned back on the back of the chair, and looked at Wu You with unblinking eyes.
Well...... This guy seems to be in a good mood?
Looking at the protagonist who was relaxed all over, Wu You was stunned for a moment,
"Hmm. Feng Junyi replied casually, his deep eyes were always staring at Wu You, and he couldn't see his feelings.
Skillfully put the towel on Feng Junyi's hair and wiped it gently, as if the hair in his hand was a first-class treasure. It's just that these are only on the surface, and deep down in his heart that no one knows, Wu Youzheng is full of resentment.
This bear kid will always find a way to increase my workload, can't it be a little more worry-free......
However, these negative words did not reach Feng Junyi's ears, the familiar breath and the temperature of his big hand made him can't help but squint his eyes, like a well-fed black panther: "What ......is the matter with coming to me?"
After a pause in his hand, Wu You, who had reacted, glanced at the protagonist who had closed his eyes, and then slowly spoke: "It's not a big deal...... I'm just here to tell the young master, I have something to do this afternoon, but I have already arranged for someone to temporarily replace my work, and I will follow the young master's orders at any time, please don't worry. ”
"Where are you going?"
Suddenly opened his eyes, Feng Junyi, who came to his senses in an instant, glared at Wu You sharply, as if he was a disobedient prey. The strong desire for control made Wu You's heart skip a beat, but then there was a faint sense of empathy - as the original book said, the protagonist was too insecure.
In the original work, Master Feng and the protagonist's mother were originally husband and wife, however, when Feng Junyi was eight years old, Master Feng, who was dissatisfied with the ordinary life, resolutely abandoned the mother and son and married the current wife under the pursuit of his current wife. Feng Junyi's mother couldn't bear such a humiliation and committed suicide, leaving Feng Junyi in an orphanage, and it wasn't until he was fourteen years old that Master Feng picked up the protagonist from the orphanage.
Removing the towel that blocked the sight of the two, Wu You looked at Feng Junyi soothingly, and smiled as if the two first met: "It's really not a big deal, it's just that the master punished me for going back to the room and thinking about it." ”
"Because of what?"
“…… Avalanche. ”
Feng Junyi suddenly had no words, and those dark eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, looking directly at Wu You, making him feel a little furious in his heart. After a long time, Feng Junyi finally spoke again.
"Why are you tossing yourself like this?"
As soon as Wu You heard it, he knew that the protagonist already knew the origin of the punishment, and sure enough, being too smart was trouble, and he originally wanted to hide it from the other party. sighed helplessly in his heart, and on the surface, Wu You still kept smiling.
"Because I promised to protect you, I broke my promise. ”
Of course, that's just an acting need. Wu You silently didn't say a word in his heart.
Hearing this, Feng Junyi seemed to be stunned for a while, and gradually, he lowered his eyelids, and then relaxed his whole body, his originally straight waist leaned lazily on the chair, and the vigilant aura around him instantly converged. Feng Junyi raised his hand and grabbed Wu You's hand and pressed it against his hair again, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Youyou rolled his eyes in his heart, secretly rubbed his hands that were already a little sore, and then resigned himself to rubbing the other party's hair again.
The room was silent because of the silence between the two.
Wu You carelessly took care of Feng Junyi's hair, his eyes inadvertently wandered to his face, but a thin shadow flashed in his mind, and for a while, he couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with four years ago, Feng Junyi looks a lot more resolute, his originally soft facial lines are becoming more and more angular, and his height has directly jumped to 186, and even the muscles on his body are much stronger, but his temperament is becoming more and more silent.
It's even more uncute, Wu You secretly complained silently.
Wu You can't forget the scene when he first met Feng Junyi, when Feng Junyi was 14 years old and Wu You was 18 years old.
Probably malnourished, Feng Junyi is pitifully thin, but the whole person is like a little beast that will bite at any time, making people dare not approach. In order to gain Master Feng's trust, Wu You suffered a lot under Su Yanzhi's compulsion, and gradually let him take off his guard.
Although the protagonist at that time didn't like to talk, he liked to stick to Wu You. No matter what he was doing, he would always habitually look back at Wu You behind him from time to time, and after seeing that he was still there, he was relieved to continue the matter at hand, which made Wu You both proud and sympathetic - he couldn't imagine that such a poor little guy was the indifferent protagonist in the original text.
But he believed it to be true now......
Looking at the silent Feng Junyi, Wu You couldn't help but roll his eyes quietly. And at this moment, Feng Junyi suddenly stood up, so frightened that Wu You hurriedly adjusted the expression on his face, but because he was too nervous, the smile on the corner of his mouth was stiff.
"Less, young master?"
However, Feng Junyi didn't answer him directly, only to see him walk to the bedside table and take out something, and then return to Wu You's body: "Hand." ”
Subconsciously stretched out his hand, and before Wu You could react, a stone object with a little temperature lay in the palm of his hand - it was a piece of jade with a beautiful color.
"What is this?"
"Birthday present. ”
Stunned,
This, this is Yuye!?So valuable things for me!?
In the original book, this is a world with an extreme lack of resources, not to mention luxury goods such as jade, even food is difficult to supply, although the Feng family is rich in materials, but jade is still not easy to get. Thinking of the value of jade in this world, Wu You suddenly felt that the things in his hands were a lot heavier, and the whole person couldn't help but freeze.
"Young Master, thank you for your kindness, but I can't accept this!" Stuffing the jade back into Feng Junyi's hand, Wu You's expression at the moment was very strict.
In this chaotic world, taking this is simply telling everyone to "come and rob me"! And I don't need these luxuries!
Unexpectedly, after hearing Wu You's refusal, Feng Junyi's face sank, and he didn't speak, he directly broke Wu You's hand and stuffed it back, and sat back on the chair again.
"Master, this ......"
Before Wu You could say anything, Feng Junyi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were deep and terrifying. Wu You looked directly at the other party's eyes that could not be refused, and after a stalemate for a while, he finally sighed in compromise: "I understand......"
Forget it, I'll go back to my room and hide it later.
Thinking of this, Wu You smiled with relief, and the corners of his eyes were crooked, which added a lot of color to the already heroic body: "Thank you for the gift, in fact, I am very happy." ”
Feng Junyi's eyes flashed, and his originally dark face gradually recovered, he looked at the curvature at the corner of Wu You's mouth, secretly pinched his palm, and then lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Wu You shook the jade in his palm, and then stuffed it into his trouser pocket, feeling much better than before.
Retract the preface, this guy is actually quite cute~
