The little fox had tidied himself up. He remembered Ye Tiancheng had something to discuss with him and checked his appearance in the mirror. Seeing that everything was in order, he hurried to find Ye Tiancheng.
When he found Ye Tiancheng, Ye Tiancheng was holding food and waiting for him in the hall.
The little fox looked around, not seeing the fatty, and quickly walked towards Ye Tiancheng, asking verbally, "Brother, you said you had something to find me for, what is it?"
"Are you looking for me alone? I don't see Fatty Brother? Or has Fatty Brother not arrived yet?"
Ye Tiancheng shook his head and said, "Just you. I haven't called Fatty yet, and Fatty lives with his girlfriend Shao Ying. It's not very appropriate for me to go find him early in the morning."
The little fox nodded, "Oh, so what happened?"
He looked at the weather today, and it was clear they couldn't leave. It was as if heaven wanted to keep them here, and the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping. The little fox was quite frightened.
If the rain continued like this, the little fox worried that natural disasters like landslides might occur. Even if they didn't, if this kind of rain continued for a few more days, they might not be able to leave when the rain stopped.
Because of the continuous rain, this was a village at the foot of the mountain, and it was also a remote location. After the heavy rain, the roads would definitely become very difficult to travel.
Traveling in such road conditions would also be very dangerous and extremely unsafe.
Therefore, it was unlikely that Ye Tiancheng wanted to discuss leaving. Since they couldn't leave, the matter that needed to be dealt with would be related to the banquet they attended yesterday.
But even for this, why did he have to call him up so early in the morning?
Wasn't it that urgent?
As the little fox was wondering, he heard Ye Tiancheng say, "What else could I be looking for you for? Yesterday's matter, I'm afraid we can't stay out of it."
Ye Tiancheng rubbed his temples, looking very troubled.
The little fox thought Ye Tiancheng was troubled by the inconvenience and being stuck there, but then he heard Ye Tiancheng say, "If I'm not mistaken, that should be the bride from yesterday's wedding banquet. I don't know how it happened, but she seems to have taken a liking to me. It's also possible she's taken a liking to Mingzhu or Qingcheng."
"Anyway, last night, she suddenly appeared in my room and stayed there all night, disappearing only at dawn."
Ye Tiancheng was really troubled, not just mentally, but also physically. After all, he had truly stayed up all night, afraid to sleep.
Although he was woken up by the cold in the middle of the night and found the bride in his room, he hadn't dared to sleep again. However, it wasn't much different from staying up all night, as he hadn't been able to rest much before encountering such a thing.
The little fox was instantly stunned, not expecting things to turn out this way. "Wh-what? No way? What does she want with you, Brother?"
His elder brother Ye Tiancheng was a married man, which was very obvious. Not only did he have his wife with him, but his daughter was also with them. Judging by their age, she could already run errands. No matter how picky the bride was, there was no reason for her to target Ye Tiancheng. Even if she targeted Fatty, it would be more plausible than her targeting Ye Tiancheng.
Every time the little fox thought of Fatty, he would pause for a moment, remembering that the current Fatty was not a fatty. Although he had never seen what Fatty looked like when he was fat.
However, according to what everyone said, they were used to calling him Fatty. He himself used to call him Fatty Brother, so even though Fatty had slimmed down now, no one had changed it.
If Fatty hadn't slimmed down, it would have been difficult for him to find Shao Ying as a girlfriend so quickly.
"How would I know what for?" Ye Tiancheng was still a bit groggy. He divided a portion of the breakfast in his hand and gave it to the little fox.
"I was sleeping last night, and suddenly I felt very cold, so I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I found that the bride had appeared in the room. I could only try my best to protect Mingzhu and Qingcheng, not daring to disturb either of them."
"There was really no other way, so I could only stare at the bride all night. I only dared to relax after seeing her disappear."
Moreover, it was obvious that after this, although Ye Tiancheng had managed to drive the bride away, after staying up all night, Ye Tiancheng couldn't sleep again.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten up so early to drag the little fox out of bed. He would have at least tried to catch up on sleep.
After all, no matter what the bride's current situation was, she was clearly a soul. Generally, it was unlikely for her to act during the day, so the daytime was most suitable for conserving energy and replenishing spirit.
The little fox felt that his elder brother was truly unfortunate. He was clearly a person who kept to himself, yet trouble always found him, and he always encountered romantic entanglements.
Although if the little fox knew Ye Tiancheng's past, he might not have had these thoughts, or rather, he would have had different thoughts. However, the current little fox knew nothing. To be precise, the little fox before his amnesia also didn't know.
After all, when he followed Ye Tiancheng, the women around Ye Tiancheng had already dispersed, and he himself would not actively provoke them.
The little fox had only heard some rumors, but he had never seen them with his own eyes.
The little fox frowned, unable to understand why the bride would target Ye Tiancheng. "This is too strange. We didn't do anything bad yesterday."
"Let alone her targeting you, Brother, it's very strange for her to target any of us."
Ye Tiancheng sighed, "I knew I couldn't have a peaceful life. Trouble would always find me, no matter how much I tried to avoid it."
The little fox didn't know how to comfort Ye Tiancheng. After a moment of silence, he chose to change the subject, "Could it be... that there's something wrong with the room you're staying in, Brother?"
"For example, the room you and Sister-in-law are staying in now, could it be the room the bride used to live in? Then she found out her room was occupied, and then..."
The little fox slowly shut his mouth under Ye Tiancheng's gaze. He himself knew that the possibility of this guess was not very reliable.
After all, if that were the case, the bride wouldn't have been so polite. She would have just stared at them all night and then quietly disappeared. Even if she was wary of Ye Tiancheng and sensed that he was a very dangerous person, her methods shouldn't have been so gentle.
So, what was the reason?
Ye Tiancheng chided the little fox, "At least think of something reliable. Is this a time for jokes?"
"If it were just me, then it would be fine. But now Mingzhu and Qingcheng are involved. I'm afraid she's not targeting me, but Mingzhu and Qingcheng. If something goes wrong, it will be too late for me to regret it."
The little fox expressed his understanding and became a little more serious.
He thought for a while and finally confirmed a truth: when one hasn't seen the scene and is just making wild guesses, it's obviously not very helpful.
Therefore, the little fox said to Ye Tiancheng, "We can't figure out what the situation is or what the bride wants by guessing here."
"I'll go take a look in Brother's room. Let's see if I can find any clues."
Ye Tiancheng had no objections, and in fact, he was a bit anxious. When the little fox mentioned this, Ye Tiancheng immediately agreed. The two of them quickly finished their breakfast and prepared to go to the room where Ye Tiancheng was currently staying to check.
When they reached the door of the room where Ye Tiancheng was staying, Ye Tiancheng stopped at the door, while the little fox did not follow too closely, but stood at a distance from the door and Ye Tiancheng.
Ye Tiancheng knocked on the room door. After all, there was nothing to do here, and it was raining continuously outside. Hou Mingzhu and the others couldn't go out, so they mostly stayed in the room with Ye Qingcheng and didn't go out much.
It was the same at this time. Hou Mingzhu and Ye Qingcheng were both in the room.
If it were just Ye Tiancheng, it wouldn't have been a big deal for Ye Tiancheng to go in directly. However, now that he had brought the little fox, it was not so convenient.
Because he was worried that there might be some factors that Hou Mingzhu and Ye Qingcheng needed to avoid, Ye Tiancheng chose to knock on the door first. After he had checked the situation and confirmed that the little fox could enter, Ye Tiancheng would then bring the little fox in after seeking permission from Hou Mingzhu and the others.
After the room door was knocked, Hou Mingzhu's voice was heard from inside. Hou Mingzhu asked loudly, "Who is it?"
Ye Tiancheng replied, "It's me."
Hou Mingzhu replied, "Oh, the door isn't locked. You can come straight in."
Ye Tiancheng opened the room door, but did not enter immediately. Instead, he looked at the situation inside the room. Ye Qingcheng was sitting at the table doing her homework. Because the stool here was relatively high, her feet couldn't reach the ground after she sat on it, so they dangled in the air. Ye Qingcheng sat on the stool, swinging her legs.
Hou Mingzhu was accompanying her. Seeing Ye Tiancheng open the door but not enter immediately, Hou Mingzhu asked, "What's wrong? Is there something?"
"Why are you standing at the door and not coming in?"
Ye Tiancheng explained to Hou Mingzhu, "I was just seeing what you were doing, and I came in to find something. Since I might need to call the little fox in, and it might be inconvenient for you, I stopped at the door first."
Hou Mingzhu understood and nodded, "It's fine here, it won't affect me and Qingcheng. You can do as you please."
Ye Tiancheng also saw that this was indeed the case. Hou Mingzhu and Ye Qingcheng were not affected, and bringing the little fox into the room would not cause any obstruction. So he didn't say anything more.
He just said to Hou Mingzhu, "That's good. I'll call the little fox in."
After Ye Tiancheng finished speaking, he turned to look at the little fox. To his surprise, the little fox was standing quite far away, so much so that he couldn't get past the door and Ye Tiancheng to see anything of the situation inside.
After a slight pause, Ye Tiancheng shook his head, "Why are you standing so far away? Who are you standing guard for? Hurry up and come over!"
The little fox heard Ye Tiancheng's call and immediately responded to his elder brother's summons, "Oh, okay. Is it okay with Sister-in-law and the others?"
Before Ye Tiancheng could speak, Hou Mingzhu replied, "Come in, both of you. We're not doing anything inside. I'm helping Qingcheng with her homework."
The little fox was relieved and followed Ye Tiancheng into the room.
Since Ye Tiancheng did not intend to tell Hou Mingzhu the real situation, he had come up with an excuse. Since the excuse had been made, they would naturally act according to this excuse on the surface.
Ye Tiancheng composed himself and said to the little fox, "Hurry up and take a look. See if this is the thing we're looking for. We shouldn't disturb Qingcheng's homework all the time."
