1The steward packed his stuff and came down to find Ji Jingchen and Wen Tiantian still chatting in the living room.
Ji Jingchen saw him and asked, "Have you cleaned up all the rooms?"
"It's been cleaned up."
The butler nodded. Although he said that, the gaze he used to look at Ji Jingchen contained a hint of disappointment.
He didn't even take advantage of such a good opportunity.
Young master, I have to reassess your ability in my heart.
Over on the other side, Ji Jingchen obviously didn't feel what he was thinking. He turned to Wen Tiantian and said, "It's still early. If you're tired, go rest."
"Alright, you should rest quickly as well."
With that, Wen Tiantian stood up and realized that the butler was staring at her with an indescribable gaze as he watched her leave.
She frowned and looked back.
"Butler, are you alright?"
The butler immediately revealed a perfect smile and bowed slightly.
"Of course, I hope you have a good dream tonight."
Wen Tiantian gave him a puzzled look before leaving.
Ji Jingchen also stood up after she left.
"I'm going to rest too."
With that, he left the butler alone in the living room and returned to his bedroom.
The butler looked at them and stood for a long time in the living room.
Only then did he slowly sigh.
The emperor was not anxious at all. He was anxious to kill the eunuch.
Late at night.
Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Suddenly, a heavy rain began.
Ji Jingchen was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door.
He sat up and looked at his watch. Two in the morning.
Could it be that the butler was looking for him?
Ji Jingchen stood up and opened the door.
Outside the door, there was no one.
Ji Jingchen frowned and suddenly had some doubts.
He turned and was about to go back when he felt a tug on his pants.
Ji Jingchen lowered his head and his vision also lowered.
Soon after, he saw the little boy standing by the door.
The boy looked up at him with a small quilt in his arms and a pitiful look in his eyes.
Ji Jingchen looked down at him condescendingly.
It seemed like he was the one who knocked on the door.
Ji Jingchen recognized the person in front of him, he was one of the children that he rescued from the forest last time.
Wasn't he supposed to be in the tower?
How did he get here?
Suddenly, he was woken up by someone in the middle of the night. Ji Jingchen looked at him with an ugly expression.
"What is it?"
Just as he finished speaking, a clap of thunder came from outside.
The kid was so scared that his face turned white, and he tightly pulled Ji Jingchen's leg.
If it wasn't because of his unsightly expression, Ji Jingchen felt that this child would have definitely jumped onto his body in the next second.
Before this, this sort of thing had happened before.
"Thunder …" the boy said, trembling slightly.
"Is that what you wanted to tell me when you came down from the tower and climbed up to the third floor and knocked on my bedroom door?"
The little boy pursed his lips and said softly, "I'm a little afraid …"
Ji Jingchen looked at him for a while.
"Oh."
He turned to close the door.
Seeing that he was about to leave, the boy hurriedly caught up and tightly hugged his calf.
He closed his eyes and shouted, "I was planning to go find Sister Tiantian, but I was afraid that she would wake up because of me, so I couldn't sleep well. I came to find you …"
"Don't leave me here! I'm so scared! "
As he spoke, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled outside, lighting up the room.
Ji Jingchen frowned.
"You're a man, what are you afraid of thunder?"
The little boy blinked and hugged him tightly.
"Sister said, we are still children."
Ji Jingchen didn't believe it at all. If he was really scared, how could he walk over from the tower?
He lifted his leg, and he was lifted up as well. He wouldn't let go no matter what.
He bent down slightly and looked at him. "Are you going to look for Wen Tiantian after I chase you away?"
The child thought for a moment.
Although he didn't want to disturb Wen Tiantian's rest, he was extremely afraid.
Other than looking for Wen Tiantian, he couldn't think of anyone else, so he nodded his head.
"Yes."
Ji Jingchen looked at the time, it was already 2 in the morning.
How could Tiantian sleep if she went to find Wen Tiantian in this small trouble?
He curled his lips in dissatisfaction, stretched out his hand and picked up the man's collar, then picked him up and walked towards the bed.
"Tell me your name."
"Xiao Qing."
"Good, you will stay here obediently tonight. Don't run around and disturb others' rest."
With that, he threw the child on the bed.
The kid didn't seem to be afraid at all. In the face of Ji Jingchen's rude actions, he didn't seem to care at all.
As soon as he bumped into the bed, he immediately slipped into Ji Jingchen's blanket, becoming more proficient at it than anyone else.
Ji Jingchen looked at him and instantly felt like he was tricked.
But if you looked closely, the child did not look like he was pretending.
He closed the door behind him, walked over, and stood by the bed, giving the order in a cold voice.
"Lie still. No crying tonight, no talking, no laughing, at least twenty centimeters away from me, or I'll throw you out. "
Then, he remembered that if he really kicked this child out, he might go and find Tiantian.
He changed his words with dissatisfaction.
"I'll just throw you on the sofa and sleep. Do you hear me?"
When the child heard this, he hurriedly nodded his head.
"But, Uncle Ji, what is twenty centimeters?"
A vein suddenly popped out on Ji Jingchen's forehead.
"Just stay away from me, as far as you can go!"
Xiao Qing nodded.
Only then did Ji Jingchen feel slightly satisfied and gave out orders again.
"Now, close your eyes and sleep."
The child was so scared that he quickly closed his eyes, not knowing if he was sleeping or not.
Ji Jingchen walked over and laid down beside him. There was a clear line between the two of them.
He had thought that the child looked more or less at ease, and that it was already past two o'clock. In four or five hours, he would be free.
However, after a while, Ji Jingchen realized that he had thought too much into it.
Before he could fall asleep, he heard a loud thud!
The person who should have been lying beside him and twenty centimeters away from him suddenly rolled into his arms.
Ji Jingchen suddenly opened his eyes and gritted his teeth. He looked down at the child sleeping soundly in his arms while grabbing his clothes.
He mercilessly pushed them aside.
But after a while the child rolled over again, like a walking magnet.
Ji Jingchen's expression became even more impatient, and pushed him away.
In a few minutes, however, the man would roll into his arms.
No matter where he hid, Xiao Qing would be able to find him, like a small radar.
If it wasn't because Xiao Qing really looked like he was sleeping soundly, Ji Jingchen would definitely think that Xiao Qing was playing with him.
Ji Jingchen continuously threw away the people on his body for the whole night.
