Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 210 Weird Things

“little zi,..” liu zilong called out his younger brother who was about to enter the study.

since he couldn’t sleep well, he decided to get up and to take a walk.

he’s been like this for the past days.

it was still around half past five in the morning. as he was about to go outside he saw his brother leaving the couple’s room.

the younger brother nodded indicating for them to talk inside.

aunt jing who recently returned was already busy preparing food in the kitchen. after seeing the two young masters entering the study, she prepared for hot drinks.

“still restless?” liu zijian asked.

liu zilong simply smiled.

“let me share some of your office work.” he gently said.

the second young master liu stared at him in bafflement.

he didn’t hear him wrong?

liu zilong chuckled.

he needed something to distract his thoughts and he didn’t have much enthusiasm to travel in any place. this time, he wanted to be confined in a suffocating room. since he didn’t want to be just idle and do nothing, he decided to help a little.

besides he wanted to prove something.

liu zijian’s lips slightly curved.

it’s a perfect timing. since he was away for more than two weeks, his work somewhat piled up. he couldn’t put more to ye ming as the latter was already burdened.

his brother has been here contemplating for three days and it seemed he’s still affected by the death of that person.

“perfect timing. i need some days off to do something.”

“i can help. how many days do you need?”

“equivalent with the days i helped you.” liu zijian shamelessly answered.

liu zilong shook his head in disbelief. he offered a hand and his brother wanted an arm.

“okay. what are you gonna do?”

“i need some time to accompany my wife.”

“is sister in law okay?”

liu zilong actually observed some changes of han meixiu.

“we’ll see a doctor later.” liu zijian answered helplessly.

the past few days he’s been worried since she couldn’t eat much and she felt always weak. he already said to visit a doctor but his little wife was so stubborn and would only say her body was just recuperating from the worrisome nights the past few days.

“then i’ll start today.”

“en. i’ll tell ye ming to give you details. use my office for the mean time.”

“alright.” liu zilong then stood up from his seat. when he was about to leave he heard his brother.

“didn’t you find it odd?”

liu zilong turned around with a questioning look written on his face.

“about what?”

“their death. i didn’t witness their ‘work’ but based from your story their movement was fluid and the plan to assassinate those people was flawless.”

liu zilong was actually thinking the same way. the two were easily killed. it was as if they lost their ‘talent’ that night falling into the hands of the subordinates of the people they killed.

but he didn’t entertain the idea.

“i thought about it, too. but that might be the kind of thought to let me believe to something that probably does not exist. it’s like escaping the reality. if i believe the two women in that room and the women we found dead were different, i might be deceiving myself. as if i’m avoiding the guilt.”

“so you chose to believe what was laid in front of you?”

“for now, yes. time will tell if that’s really the truth.” he said and finally left the room.

liu zijian smiled. his brother has other intention in helping him.

simple facts being shown to them weren’t meant to be believed right away, unless they have solid evidence.

he just wondered why it took too long for him to pick himself up.

anyway, his timing was just good. he needed free time to settle things about his wife.

that little woman was getting bizarre recently.

she actually developed an amusing ‘hobby’. he found it out after he returned.

in their bed, he found his clothes beneath the pillow.

he thought he must have forgotten to remove it from the bed and his lazy wife just stuffed them below.

but remembering that he’s been away, how could his clothes be still there for few weeks?

the next night he came back late as he had to finish several meetings. he instructed han meixiu to go home ahead of him.

by the time he arrived at home, she was already sleeping. what surprised him was her pillow.

it was wrapped with his clothes. and to make matter more shocking, it was the white shirt he wore the other day.

looking at her content sleeping face, his heart softened.

she was doing this the time he was away?

he tried to remove the shirt but he encountered a resistance. in the end, he let her be.

he’s already here, she didn’t really need to do this, right?

when he woke up the next morning, the pillow was discarded and han meixiu was tightly hugging him.

if before it was him who would move her to his side, now it was the opposite. she would voluntarily snuggle towards him.

liu zijian wasn’t wrong when he thought this was how his wife passed those nights.

han meixiu who had trouble sleeping tried many ways to make herself sleep continuously. she even tried listening to those theta and delta wave to help her sleep.

but she would still woke up from time to time.

her sensitive nose seemingly wanted to smell something that could calm her nerves.

since her restlessness was related to that husband of hers, she looked for his perfume. but even with it, something was still missing.

she almost turned their room upside down before she could find a piece of shirt with the most dominant scent she was looking for.

she was delighted when she found one.

that night was the first night she slept comfortably after he left. since it was one and only, it was her companion for the next few weeks.

but as days went on, the scent slowly got weaker. her sleep got distracted as she would wake up in the middle of the night.

when han meixiu woke up, she saw her husband tidying up a table.

noticing that he’s not yet dressed, han meixiu thought it’s still too early and went back to sleep.

thus when the young man turned around, he saw her sleeping soundly again.

feeling puzzled he came closer to the bed.

he clearly felt some movements. was it just his imagination?

“why is big zi there?” madam liu asked. the older liu couple was having a breakfast and just recently received an update from liu zijian’s home.

“what’s wrong if he’s there?”

nothing actually. it was just madam liu felt they could be discovered soon if her older son was in that place.

her older son was always a threat in her plans.

“well, he is supposed to be somewhere.”

“he wanted to help little zi with office work for a time.”

madam liu choked upon hearing her husband’s words.

“zilong? office work?”

mr. liu nodded. he also couldn’t believe at first but, it’s the truth.

“that’s weird.” madam liu commented.
