C44 Return from Storm to Night

Thunder and lightning continued to flash in the sky, and the heavy rain continued to pour without any signs of stopping.

Su Hsingchen stood under the eaves quietly. In the room, Ye Xiaomeng was bathing and changing under the maids' clothes.

After less than an hour, Lee Fei, who was wearing a raincoat, quickly walked over.

"Young Master Su, all the defenses inside and outside the courtyard have been set up. "I will stand guard outside Second Miss's room to ensure her safety."

"Is everything all right? Did you encounter any difficulties? "

"Everything is going smoothly. Young Master Su, don't worry."

After pondering for a moment, Su Hsingchen said:

"In the end, you're still injured. Since you've already arranged for the guards to be here, you can rest first. I'll guard the door of Xiaomeng's room."

"Young Master Su, my injury is fine …"

"Why? You don't believe in my strength? "You think I can't protect Xiaomeng?"

Lee Fei subconsciously shook his head.

"How could that be? With Young Master Su here, of course Second Miss is safe. Then, I'll go back and treat her wounds."

Lee Fei bowed respectfully to Su Hsingchen again before turning around to leave. At the same time, Lee Fei's heart felt a little warm. He felt that Su Hsingchen was really good to his friends.

In the rainy night, Su Hsingchen would rather stand guard there by himself than let the injured Lee Fei go back and rest.

At this moment, Su Hsingchen's mind was constantly thinking about who exactly was targeting Ye Family. It's just that, because he didn't know much information, Su Hsingchen couldn't think of any other mastermind besides Gou Family.

In addition, Su Hsingchen found it strange that Ye Xiaomeng was obviously physically disabled. It could be said that she was at peace with the world. Why did she encounter so many assassination attempts?

Just as he was thinking of this, Ye Xiaomeng's voice came from within the room.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, are you there?"

"He's here!"

"Then why don't you come in for a bit? I … I'm still a bit scared!"

Su Hsingchen thought about it and opened the door.

After the maids bowed to Su Hsingchen, they quietly left and closed the door on the way out.

Ye Xiaomeng had just finished showering and was leaning against the bed. She was dressed in pink clothes, looking like a lively and charming little elf. However, her face was still slightly pale.

Su Hsingchen's eyes unconsciously fell on Ye Xiaomeng's bare feet that were outside the quilt. They looked crystal clear and had a different kind of beauty to them.

Coupled with the fact that the room was filled with Ye Xiaomeng's unique body fragrance, Su Hsingchen couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart.

At this moment, there was another muffled explosion of thunder outside the room. Ye Xiaomeng's face turned even paler, like a frightened rabbit. She timidly looked out the window.

"Sis, brother-in-law, can you stay here for a while? I-I'm scared."

Su Hsingchen secretly took a few deep breaths to drive out all of the enchanting thoughts from his mind. He felt that if he really had any thoughts about his in-name sister-in-law, then he would really be worse than a beast.

By the time he sat down on the chair, Su Hsingchen's heart had already become as calm as still water. He said slowly:

"I'm here. Rest in peace."

Ye Xiaomeng made an 'oh' sound. She wanted to cover herself with the blanket, but her legs were too weak to support her, making it difficult for her.

Su Hsingchen stood up and walked over to cover Ye Xiaomeng with a warm smile.

"Alright, rest in peace and sleep."

Ye Xiaomeng also smiled sweetly. She closed her eyes and her eyelashes trembled.

"Brother-in-law, you leave after I fall asleep, okay?"

"Sure!"

Su Hsingchen sat down again. Just as he was about to silently run the Eternal Hsingchen Tactic, Ye Xiaomeng's voice rang out once again:

"Brother-in-law, I still can't fall asleep. How about, let's chat?"

"We're still chatting!" It's good as long as you sleep peacefully. Maybe even more things will happen tomorrow. If you don't fully recover, how can you possibly have the energy to deal with it? "

Ye Xiaomeng helplessly sighed, pouted her pink lips and said:

"I can't sleep!"

"Then I'll teach you a way. Count the sheep. One sheep, two sheep, three sheep …" Then, I'll teach you a way.

"Hmph, heartless. You just don't like to chat with me. I won't count the sheep, I'll count the brother-in-law. "One brother-in-law, two brother-in-law, three brother-in-law …"

Su Hsingchen was speechless. Little girl, I don't care if you keep counting. It's just that, does your sister Ye Xiaoye know about it?

After counting the number of her brother-in-law, Ye Xiaomeng burst into laughter.

However, the little girl was probably also sleepy. Not long after, her breath became long and soft. She must have fallen asleep!

Su Hsingchen silently waited for a while longer and was ready to leave without a sound.

Just as he reached the entrance, a dazzling bolt of lightning flashed by, followed by a loud rumble of thunder.

Ye Xiaomeng, who was originally asleep, suddenly woke up and shouted in a slightly mournful voice:

"Help, help!" "My leg, my leg, blood, so much blood …"

Su Hsingchen frowned and instantly walked in front of Ye Xiaomeng.

"Xiaomeng, it's fine, I'm here."

Ye Xiaomeng was obviously having a nightmare and was still half asleep. She reached out her hand to grip Su Hsingchen's wrist tightly.

Su Hsingchen frowned and comforted her:

"Xiaomeng, don't be afraid. With me here, nothing will happen to you. "Don't be like that, let go of me first. Otherwise, if you hurt me, you would hurt yourself too …"

At this moment, outside the room, Lee Fei, who had finished treating his wounds, was still worried. He rushed over and heard Su Hsingchen's words. His face instantly turned pale.

What the hell was this?

Why aren't you doing this? What kind of mess was this!?

Besides, what do you mean by hurting me, and also hurting yourself?!

Obediently knocking on the door, what the hell was going on inside? Did they just run into a fire?

Lee Fei swallowed his saliva with difficulty as he felt that the situation was a little complicated.

At the same time, Lee Fei looked around vigilantly and thought to himself, if this is discovered by others, should I help Young Master Su and silence him?

After a while, the room gradually quieted down.

Lee Fei hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't dare to disturb him.

To put it bluntly, Lee Fei was afraid that Su Hsingchen would silence him as well …

Under the night sky, heavy rain poured down like a torrential downpour.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the gate of the House of Ye.

Not long after, over a dozen figures riding fine horses arrived.

The steed suddenly stopped. Ye Xiaoye, who was wearing a straw cape and under the protection of more than ten martial practitioners with cold expressions, quickly entered the house.

There was a lot of fatigue on Ye Xiaoye's beautiful face as she coldly asked,

"Is anything wrong with Xiaomeng?"

"Eldest Miss, it's good that you don't have to worry. Second Miss and her family are fine."

"Hmm? "Where's Steward Zhou? Why isn't he here?"

"About this, about this, Steward Zhou has a problem."

"Forget it, I'll go see Xiaomeng first."

With these words, Ye Xiaoye rushed to the backyard under the protection of the warriors.

Lee Fei, who was guarding outside the room, saw that Ye Xiaoye had actually come back in the middle of the night. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously walked up and said,

"El-Eldest Miss, Second Miss is asleep. Why don't you come see her tomorrow?"

"Get out of the way, I'll be careful and go in. Xiaomeng has always been afraid of thunder and rain. If I don't look at her, I won't be able to rest at ease."

As he watched Ye Xiaoye carefully walk to the door, Lee Fei's brows gradually creased into a square shape. He couldn't help but wonder, was the bed in the room really the only one, or two people?

Eldest Miss, if you go in now, you'll feel like something big is going to happen …
