In the room, Gong Ou stood there and stared at the bookshelf in front of him. Looking at the book on top of it, Gong Yao sat on the floor beside the bed, looking exactly the same as before.
Neither father nor son uttered a word.Time passed second by second. The room was still unusually quiet. The two servants outside leaned against the door and eavesdropped for a while. They could not hear anything so they could only move to the side.
The thin lip slightly opened his mouth and said in a low and deep voice, "If you're curious why I didn't trade for you in the Solanum nigrum, I won't laugh at you. After all, this is the only place you can go to now with your intelligence."
Hearing that, Gong Yao opened his closed eyes, a look of awkwardness sweeping past his eyes, and the small hands by his side uncontrollably clenched into fists.
"I'm not surprised."As he spoke, he forced himself to appear calm and collected, but he still revealed a trace of stubbornness.
"Then tell me why."
Gong Ou stood with his back facing him, and said without turning his head, as his long fingers flipped through the book.
"The Solanum nigrum was raised by you, so of course we have to choose her."Gong Yao said.
He didn't find it strange that Gong Ou would choose to let Gong Kui go home. Solanum nigrum had grown up beside Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian, so naturally, his feelings towards Gong Ou would be different.
Just like Shi Xiaonian, when there was a choice, she would choose Gong Ou, and Gong Ou chose Gong Kui when there was a choice.
"Your IQ really makes me want to laugh." Gong Ou laughed mockingly, and turned to look at him, the corners of her lips curving with Evil Qi, "Every time I thought you were smart, you were always so stupid that it would be laughable."
"…"
When had Gong Yao ever received such mockery? His small face instantly turned half white and half green, and his small hands clenched even tighter.
"I suddenly wondered if it was the wrong choice to keep you down."
Gong Ou casually threw the book away and stared at him with his black eyes.
"…"
Gong Yao stubbornly went to meet his gaze, his small mouth tightly shut, not saying a word."Is it glass heart again?" Gong Ou said impatiently, "Alright, if you want to be sad, then go ahead and be sad. When you feel sad enough, we can come back and have a good chat."
They still had time, and they were in no hurry.
"…"
Gong Yao stood there, his eyes turning. What is the heart of glass? It shouldn't be anything nice.
Gong Ou sat down on the side of the bed and twisted his neck, a sleepy look appearing on his face. Last night, Shi Xiaonian did not sleep at all because of Gong Yao, and that night was also when Shi Xiaonian did not sleep at all.
Today, something like this happened again. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't tired."Bang, bang, bang."
There was more noise from outside.
"Why are you making such a ruckus? Are you annoyed? "
Gong Ou did not want to hear any noise and immediately shouted with dissatisfaction. His temper was as violent as thunder and he was much angrier than if he had become the hostage of Lan Ting.
Gong Yao stood at the side and watched Gong Ou, replying with a tender voice, "We are prisoners now, no one will listen to you."
Did he still think that he was Gong Jia's second young master?
After he said this, the outside world fell silent. Not a single sound could be heard.
Gong Yao was stunned. Gong Ou laughed lightly, raised his head and fell down on the bed. He folded his hands under his head and closed his eyes, ready to take a short rest.
Damn it.He simply could not sleep without Shi Xiaonian by his side.
However, he was a little tired and needed to rest to replenish his strength. According to this trend, Lan Ting did not plan to provide them with food, and they would only grow weaker and weaker until they eventually lost all their ability to resist.
Must sleep.
He had to be full of energy.
Gong Ou strongly patted on the bed beside him. He did not open his eyes, and spoke in a commanding tone, "You didn't sleep well last night, go to bed! I'll wake you up in the middle of the night! "
"How do you know?"Gong Yao asked.
"I don't know, Shi Xiaonian knows."
Gong Ou said coldly.
"…"
Gong Yao's gaze immediately froze as he stood there motionlessly, his small hands grabbing onto his clothes.After a long, long time, to the point where Gong Yao thought that he had fallen asleep on the bed, he asked sullenly, "Why did you choose me to stay?"
What Gong Ou had just said was clearly saying that what he said was wrong and it was extremely sad.
Then what was right?
Just as he was about to sit down and meditate to calm himself down, Gong Ou's low and deep voice suddenly resounded in his ears.
"Because, taking you along with escaping has a higher success rate than bringing the Solanum nigrum."Gong Ou said.
There was no emotion in his answer.
"…"
"Because you are the only bargaining chip we can get out of here."
"…" Gong Yao listened in a daze.
"Because, no one in the Lan family would have thought that my son Gong Ou would be so smart, smarter than anyone's imagination."
Gong Ou's tone of voice didn't contain even the slightest bit of emotion, but it was enough to make a young Gong Yao feel regret.
Gong Yao stood by the bedside and looked at Gong Ou's face in a daze.
It was not because Solanum nigrum had been by their side since birth, but because he felt that he was intelligent?Smart... Is it praise?
When Shi Xiaonian received the news, she had already been sent home, and even before she woke up, Feng De had already rushed over.
While she slept, things changed, but she slept without knowing anything.She had slept long enough to be terrible.
Outside, the sun was already setting, and dusk was approaching.
Shi Xiaonian sat at the dining table, staring at the piping hot dishes. Gong Kui sat at the side eating her food with her silver hair standing behind him.
"minuscule thought, since you insist on cooking two dishes for Miss Sunflower, then let's go after she finishes eating."Feng De looked at Shi Xiaonian worriedly.
Shi Xiaonian sat there, her face pale white. She said something about cooking and cooking, and to put it bluntly, she refused to leave, she wanted to wait for Gong Ou.
Sure enough, Feng De soon heard Shi Xiaonian's answer, "Foster father, I'll have to trouble you to send Solanum nigrum home."She was going to stay.
Hearing that, Feng De frowned, "minuscule thought, this is Young Master's order, Young Master must have his reason for doing so, we just need to follow it."
"What reason, it's just putting me in a safe place first. "What about him?"
She was well aware of Gong Ou's thoughts. When something happened, she would be the first one left in the dust, and the first one would be to ensure her safety.She was safe.
What about him? He and Gong Yao had landed in the hands of someone else, didn't they?
She was a person, she had feelings, she was afraid she would worry, she would sit on pins and needles in a safe place.
"Nothing has happened to the young master all these years, he must have a way to escape."
Feng De could only say this.
He had to take care of the things that the Young Master had instructed him to do, he had to take Shi Xiaonian away."How do you think he escaped? In order to change back to the Solanum nigrum, he directly went to the Lan family. The only arrangement he gave you was to let me go first." Shi Xiaonian lifted up his eyes, and looked at Feng De with his slightly reddened eyes, "Father, tell me, how is he to escape?"
Feng De frowned, he knew that his Young Master was in danger now, "minuscule thought, if Young Master is in the hands of the Lan family, Young Master can handle everything, we can think of a way to save him, but Young Master Holly is still in the Lan family, after all, he's too young, and any mishap would harm him."
The Lan family probably thought the same, so they only sent one child back.
Letting their Gong Jia not dare to act rashly outside was truly a good strategy.
"So now we can only wait for them to escape by themselves, right?"
Shi Xiaonian's voice seemed so weak and pale.They could only watch as Gong Ou and Gong Yao fell into the hands of the Lan family.
"Didn't Miss Sunflower say it? She's just inviting young master to be a guest for a few days."
Feng De said as he looked at Gong Kui who was eating.
"Do you really think that Lan Ting will release them in a few days?" It was only now that Shi Xiaonian could truly see Lan Ting's true appearance. A kind man with a modest personality would actually do such a thing, "she said bitterly." I don't believe it. "With so many things happening, how could she still be as naive as she was before?
If Lan Ting wanted to let them go, he wouldn't.
Gong Ou and Gong Yao could only escape by themselves. At this time, if she had to return to the Gong Jia to wait for news, there was no way she could do it.
Seeing that, Feng De sighed lightly, walked to Shi Xiaonian's side, and looked at her benevolently, "minuscule thought, listen to me, you don't believe that the Lan family's head needs to believe in you, Young Master. By doing this, Young Master must have the confidence to come out. Since that's the case, why don't you go home and wait for news? Lantau is a member of the Lan family, so no matter how dangerous it is, you will become a burden for Young Master, right? "
drag.
These two words were like ten thousand thin needles stabbing into Shi Xiaonian's body, painful to the point that they were bleeding profusely.
She laughed bitterly, "I told Gong Ou about such a situation earlier this morning. If there was a day when he was in danger, what could I do?
She was indeed a burden to Gong Ou.
At this point, Gong Ou wanted to save her child and send her back home. She was so tired, she felt tired for him.
"That's not what I meant." Feng De realized that she had said the wrong thing, "minuscule thought, you are not a burden to young master.Halfway through, Feng De shut his mouth.
No matter what he said, he just said that it would only make Shi Xiaonian feel even worse.
Shi Xiaonian sat at the dining table, not even taking a single bite of the food in front of her. She stared at the few dishes in front of her, not eating much even after eating.
If Gong Ou was here, he would have swept it clean a long time ago.Seeing that Shi Xiaonian did not speak for a long time, Feng De could not help but advise, "minuscule thought, listen to your foster father, let's go back."
Shi Xiaonian stood up from the dining table and turned to look at Feng De. Her eyes reddened, "Foster father, I am a burden to Gong Ou, a worry for his future. I have already been protected to the point of being too weak, but no matter how weak I am, I still want to use all of my small strength to protect them."
At the end, her voice was somewhat mute, unable to speak the last few words.
"minuscule thought …"
"I know you think I overestimate myself." Shi Xiaonian said, "But if I were to do this, even if there is only a 1% chance of success."
She didn't want to go.
