HCB Chapter 72 Wen Wan is back?
Chapter 72 Wen Wan is back?
He subconsciously reached up and touched the wound on his neck, feeling the pain and tightness coming from there.
He noticed that his wound had been carefully bandaged, and a sense of relief welled up inside him...
Hachi had been obediently staying by his side, and when it saw him wake up, a hint of joy flashed in its eyes. It gently shook its sphere to express its happiness.
Grandpa Fu slowly sat up. He was still a little weak, but he tried his best to support himself.
He glanced around and saw Pei Yunjing and Pei Nanxing resting in their chairs, looking quite exhausted.
He couldn't help but cough twice, the sound neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for them to hear: "Cough cough..."
However, the two did not respond immediately, keeping their eyes closed as if they were immersed in a dream.
???
Not awake yet?
Old Master Fu frowned slightly, a look of displeasure on his face. He coughed a few more times, this time even louder:
"Cough cough cough..."
The wound on my neck is a little sore from the tearing...
Finally, as if startled awake from a dream, Pei Nanxing abruptly opened his eyes; he quickly stood up, strode over to Grandpa Fu's side, and looked at him with concern:
"Yue..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue when he suddenly realized he had almost said the wrong thing, and quickly corrected himself:
"The moon is bright and the night is deep. I miss you, Grandpa. You've just recovered and shouldn't move around too much. Why don't you rest here for the night?"
As he spoke, he nervously observed the changes in Old Master Fu's expression, afraid that his negligence would arouse his suspicion.
Fortunately, Grandpa Fu did not notice anything unusual and simply nodded in agreement.
Pei Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief, secretly glad that he had stopped in time and had not exposed his identity.
"Ha, you really care about me? I can't accept that!" Old Master Fu snorted coldly, turning his head away with a disdainful look, no longer paying attention to the person who had angered him.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and shouted loudly at Pei Yunjing, who was not far away, "Pei Yunjing, kid, wake up! Get up right now!"
The voice was powerful and resonant, as if it could penetrate the entire camp.
At this moment, Pei Nanxing, standing to the side, spoke cautiously and softly, like a child who had made a mistake:
"Yun Jing, you've been busy with border defenses all day, you must be exhausted; Grandpa Niannian, if there's anything you need, you can always tell me..."
After he finished speaking, he glanced nervously at Old Master Fu's face, still feeling a bit uneasy and nervous.
However, Old Master Fu had no interest in paying attention to him at all, and just gave him a disgruntled glare.
Just as he opened his mouth to say something, his gaze suddenly fell on the bronze mirror—he saw that Niannian was already fast asleep on the exquisite phoenix bronze mirror.
Even in her sleep, Niannian's little brows were tightly furrowed, making her look very uneasy, and she was mumbling incoherently:
"Grandpa..."
Seeing this scene, Old Master Fu felt as if his heart had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand, causing him unbearable pain.
I must have scared my precious baby with what I just did.
So, he slowly but firmly climbed off the bed.
Just then, Pei Nanxing, who had been silently waiting by the side, quickly stepped forward and handed over a soft and warm black rabbit fur cloak.
Old Master Fu snorted coldly, his face dark and displeased, and said, "You do have some brains, you know to read my mind!"
Before he finished speaking, he moved with lightning speed, snatched the cloak, and then draped it over himself without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, Old Master Fu strode briskly toward the Phoenix Bronze Mirror.
When he reached the bronze mirror, he bent down slightly, softened his voice, and called out gently with affection and concern:
"My sweet little Niannian, wake up! Don't sleep in! Go back to your room and go to sleep!"
Just then, on the other end, Niannian, who was immersed in a sweet dream, suddenly heard a familiar and affectionate voice calling her.
She raised her chubby little hand to rub her eyes, then groggily looked up at Grandpa Fu in front of her and asked in a childish voice:
Grandpa, are you alright?
"Haha, of course it's nothing! My sweetheart, go to sleep now. I'll go back with Xiao Ba tomorrow!" Old Master Fu laughed heartily, and the gloom on his face vanished instantly.
However, Nian Nian still seemed somewhat worried. She frowned slightly and said with concern:
"But Grandpa, your neck..." she said, pointing with her little hand that had been numb from being used as a pillow.
Grandpa Fu shook his head dismissively and said easily, "Oh, what's a little thing like this? Xiao Ba is here, and so is your brother Yun Jing... and..."
At this point, Old Master Fu suddenly stopped talking and didn't continue.
His sudden pause made Pei Nanxing, who was standing to the side, tremble. It was as if an invisible hand had gripped his heart tightly and lifted it into his throat.
Grandpa Fu frowned slightly, a thoughtful glint in his deep eyes.
After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "And what about your Uncle Nanxing..."
As he spoke, Old Master Fu glanced at Pei Nanxing intentionally, his gaze seemingly casual yet carrying a deeper meaning.
Upon hearing this, Pei Nanxing's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly. He let out a soft breath and quickly replied:
“Yes, Niannian…you should go and rest. Yun Jing and I are here to watch over you!” After saying that, he gave Niannian a gentle and reassuring smile.
Niannian's little face showed a look of half-belief and half-doubt. Her small mouth opened and closed, but in the end she obediently nodded and made a soft and cute "Oh".
"I'm going to sleep now! See you tomorrow!" Niannian said in her childish voice, while glancing back one last time, as if she was still a little worried.
Then she turned around and, with her slightly heavy short legs, walked upstairs step by step.
You should know that the Fu family is known for its excellent security. Not to mention ordinary petty thieves, even notorious thieves wouldn't dare to easily break into their territory.
Therefore, there's no need to worry too much about placing that invaluable phoenix bronze mirror in the courtyard.
………………
The next morning...
Niannian lay on the bed, lazily stretched, and slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was Wen Wan's familiar face!
!!!
Is this a dream?
"Auntie???"
