During the time when Tang Ling was recuperating in the imperial garden, Shi Sheng came to change his dressing at scheduled times every day. The two people who were not familiar with each other also chatted about Yun Xiao's life abroad during these days.
Tang Ling had never thought of asking Shi Sheng about Yun Xiao's past before, if Shi Sheng hadn't mentioned that they had studied in a college.
But Shi Sheng didn't say much. Apart from daily study and meetings, Yun Xiao lived with Lu Mingtong in private.
Among the flowers full of tulips, a bench made of off-white copper was added two days before Tang Ling could walk around. It will be a bit hot to rest here during the day, but in the evening when the moon is high in the sky, I rest here. The evening breeze blows in my face, carrying the fragrance of flowers, which is particularly pleasant.
Fortunately, Honghu Port is not busy these days, so Hu Ge specifically asked him to rest for a few more days.
Tang Ling was wearing a gray blanket on the bench, looking at her phone and ordering vegetables and meat. Shi Sheng had just left after changing the medicine.
He didn't reply to the messages sent by Shen Yuancong a few days ago but deleted them directly. Yun Xiao didn't want him to contact them, so he would just cut them off.
He just leaned on the edge of the chair quietly, looking at the main gate of the imperial garden with his narrow peach blossom eyes. He always thought that Yun Xiao would appear from there and come back to see him.
The cell phone ringtone in the room rang, and it was Brother Hu’s special ringtone.
Tang Ling got up and went to the drawer in the room to take out his mobile phone. He had set it to mute before, but Yun Xiao and Xiang Chen didn't come over this time, so he didn't bother to do it.
As soon as he answered the phone, the sound of harbor sirens mixed with the noise of people reached his ears.
"Jiang Ming, brothers from Honghu Port are gathering here at Scarlet ONE tonight. How is your health? Can you come tonight?" Brother Hu asked in a loud, rich voice on the other end of the phone.
Tang Ling thought that his health was almost better, so he agreed.
"Okay, around eight o'clock in the evening, right? Room number 0522, okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, he heard a sound outside and thought it was the food delivery person.
When he went out, he saw that the man carrying the food was none other than Yun Xiao, whom he had been thinking about day and night for the past few days.
Why did he come back suddenly
I saw Yun Xiao stepping forward quickly, his dark pupils were focused, reflecting his face, but there was a deep meaning in his eyes that he could not see through.
An invisible sense of oppression prompted Tang Ling to take two steps back.
Perhaps sensing his timidity, a deep coldness flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes, and it passed instantly without being noticed by him.
He lifted up the environmentally friendly bag filled with vegetables, put it directly into his arms and asked, "Can you cook?"
Tang Ling hugged the bag and nodded stiffly.
It's not that Yuyuan doesn't employ chefs, it's just that he likes to be quiet and loves to do everything by himself. Therefore, people will be sent to clean the imperial garden when there is no one there.
"Call me when you're ready." Yun Xiao said and went to the study upstairs.
"good."
Tang Ling looked at the direction Yun Xiao was going up, suppressing the secret joy in her heart, and even walking to the kitchen became easier.
In less than two hours, four dishes and one soup were placed on the table. Although it was not lobster, king crab, or home-cooked food, it made people salivate and move their index fingers.
He arrived at the study room on the second floor. The door was not closed tightly and the gap was half-closed.
Tang Ling knocked on the door, but didn't hear Yun Xiao's response. He opened the door slightly and saw that Yun Xiao was leaning on the soft seat next to the desk with his back to him.
"Yun Xiao?" he called softly.
Yun Xiao seemed to have fallen asleep, his thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a faint cyan color on his lower eyelids, making him look very tired.
Tang Ling stood beside him quietly like this, greedy for the hard-won intimacy at this moment.
He recalled that Gao Yiyunxiao had a fight with his classmate for unknown reasons. The other person was seriously injured, but he only suffered a nosebleed from the punch. In the infirmary, Yun Xiao borrowed his lap and fell asleep like this.
At that time, Yun Xiao's hair was longer than now, and strands of hair flew away in the wind when he ran. He liked Yun Xiao who was so free and carefree, and his smile was much more than now.
Tang Ling watched Yun Xiao sinking into memories, not realizing that the person who fell asleep woke up early and opened his eyes slightly.
"Don't look at me like this." Yun Xiao lifted her thin lips, interrupting Tang Ling's thoughts.
He suddenly came to his senses and said, "Sorry, you can eat now."
There was a hint of displeasure in Yun Xiao's brows and eyes, as if he was warning him that he had gone too far.
