Chapter 62 —The Gift
Elizabeth decided that the relationship between Zhu Biao and Xu Yan was ambiguous, and she seemed to be kind enough to propose Jianyi, wanting to leave a vague hope for Xu Yan, who was in deep despair.
What she didn't know was that Xu Yan had already found a more tangible and reliable hope to hold in his hands, so he grabbed Zhu Biao and refused to let go, eager to grow on him.
This made Elizabeth and William smile meaningfully, threw Xu Yan to Zhu Biao with confidence, threw a "you know" look, and waved his hand away from the back door of the hospital.
No, I don't really understand at all, what do you mean!
Zhu Biao watched the backs of the two disappear, and when he turned around, Brother Xiaolin in the ward fell asleep again, he had just received the last phase of treatment, and he had to sleep for twenty-four hours to fully absorb the light element into his body.
walked and lay down, leaving him and Xu Yan.
"Uh......" Zhu Biao stubbornly wanted to tear Xu Yan off his body, Xu Yan obediently let go after sensing his intentions, Zhu Biao didn't have time to withdraw his right hand, Xu Yan calmly groped in the direction, and grabbed his left hand again.
Zhu Biao: "......"
There is no way to communicate, when Xu Yan doesn't want to pay attention to people, he is completely a clam with a tightly sealed mouth and nowhere to put his mouth, and Zhu Biao is a cat that is screaming around the big mussel.
He was a little weak-hearted, Xu Yan's previous communication requests were ignored by him, because he was unwilling to have anything to do with the Xu family in the short term, he thought that at least when he took care of the affairs of the Guoshu Academy, he would not cause trouble to the four princes, and then he would think about how to deal with this secretive family.
But the Xu family obviously didn't plan to come at his pace.
Zhu Biao couldn't get rid of Xu Yan by force, so he had to try to persuade him and write on the back of his hand: You went out alone? How to be with Elizabeth with them?
Xu Yan shook his head: "Elizabeth and William just returned to the first district of the capital today, and my mentor informed my father, and my father sent me over to see a doctor. ”
He paused slightly, and continued calmly: "After the accident a year ago, my mentor searched for all the light magicians in the first district of the capital, and he believed that the damage caused by magic can only be healed by magic, and there is always a light magician who can heal me. ”
Your mentor's words sound very reasonable, Zhu Biao comforted him awkwardly, Elizabeth also said that the light magician can cure you, and I will go to the light magician assessment next week, and you must be there too, maybe you will meet the right person.
He didn't ask Elizabeth and William about the results of Xu Yan's treatment, because the results were so obvious that they couldn't do anything about it. After Xu Tianshou sent Xu Yan to Xu Yan, he probably left in advance, and Xu Yan couldn't go home alone after seeing the doctor, so he followed Elizabeth and them to the hospital again. This also explains why Elizabeth and they walked so easily and happily, if he didn't show up, Elizabeth and they should have done a good job to send Xu Yan back, since he appeared, it seems that he has a good relationship with Xu Yan, of course they are happy to throw the burden to him.
Zhu Biao sighed faintly, and wrote resignedly on the back of Xu Yan's hand: Let's go, I'll send you home.
…………
……
Zhu Biao led Xu Yan back to the Guoshu Academy first, to collect gifts and bring them to Xu's house.
He has only been the head of the department for three days, but because he was personally appointed by the fourth prince and belongs to the lineage of the lineage, other colleagues inevitably took the initiative to send a lot of good things in the name of congratulating the housewarming.
Now there is no need to be moldy, he thought, just transfer those things to the Xu family, and thank them for taking him and Guo Dalu in.
Zhu Biao invited Xu Yan into the small villa to sit, it was a pity that he couldn't see it, otherwise what a good opportunity to show off, he lived in such a good house and no one could show off, he was lonely and died!
He poured another glass of water for Xu Yan, and felt that the temperature was moderate and would not be hot, so he brought it to Xu Yan and took his hand to wrap his fingers around the wall of the cup.
The gifts were piled up in one of the rooms, and Zhu Biao didn't look carefully when he received them, so he had to seize the time to temporarily classify them, find a supermarket shopping cart and throw the sorted gifts on them, and push them out of the gate after they were piled up, and all of them were poured down on the lawn with a "bang".
Pile up a mountain of gifts......
Zhu Biao wanted to move the entire mountain to the Xu family, but unfortunately the wish was beautiful, and it was more difficult to realize, he and Xu Yan were weak and blind, and they couldn't move even if they were killed.
Fortunately, there is still an unscientific but super practical thing in the world of Daming, Zhu Biao found an expensive space magic prop in the gift, and the fancy piece of furoshiki that people don't see is different, this is a small leather box that looks tall, but it is not real leather but a very simulated artificial leather, the corners are inlaid with shiny metal, and the color and ductility are like gold.
Zhu Biao opened the small suitcase, and it turned into a container in front of his eyes......
He decided to bring this thoughtful gift back from the Xu family, and remember the person who gave the gift, as if he owed the other party a favor. Of course, he also registered the name of the giver for other gifts, and was always ready to find an opportunity to repay the gift, so that he owed a huge amount of personal debt before he took a penny of salary......
Zhu Biao was busy in the yard for a long time, dividing the gifts into four parts in an orderly manner and moving them into containers, one for Guo Dalu, one for the Xu family's uncle, one for Xu Yan, and one for the twins. He didn't care that the twins were actually two people, and he didn't like them ( ̄▽ ̄) anyway
At the end of the day, he found a dirty, round stone egg at the bottom of the Gift Mountain.
…………
……
This stone egg Zhu Biao has not remembered for a long time, this "long", if you think about it, it is only three days.
He remembered that it was also a gift at the beginning, sent into Guo Dalu's straw hat by the sea, like a gift from the sky.
Zhu Biao held it in his hand, felt that it was very slippery and touchy, and he didn't know what to think, but suddenly on a whim, he decided to take it back and give it to Xu Yan.
Later, it was not delivered, he put the stone eggs into the furoshiki and had nothing to carry with him, this habit that he couldn't figure out helped a lot at the critical moment, the stone eggs were not only his feet, but also used by him as a weapon to smash the assassins, it can be said that without the stone eggs, he would not be able to make such a big splash in front of the four princes, it was the stone eggs that brought him courage and good luck!
But then Zhu Biao threw the stone pebbles into the grassy courtyard, leaving it to roll up in mud and cover it with dust and grass seeds.
It's not that he's not grateful, and he's not ungrateful.
It's fear.
On the day the fourth prince was stabbed, Zhu Biao finally trembled and discovered the true identity of the stone egg.
