Falling in love while doing tasks [Quick Wear]

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, it was already late at night. Wu Qian and the other three quickly cleaned up the table, and then Yan Shengyi mercilessly sent them away.

She led Song Xu upstairs and walked all the way to the door of the room before she reluctantly let go of her hand and urged Song Xu to go back to the room to rest. But her expectant look didn't mean that.

Even though the two have expressed their feelings to each other, they still sleep in separate rooms.
Yan Shengyi actually had the intention but not the courage to do something evil, so he had to try hard to maintain his superficial image in front of Song Xu and not let any of his thoughts reveal themselves.

But Song Xu knew everything about her. Just by looking at her expression, he could tell that there were many things she wanted to hide.

But now Song Xu was a little absent-minded and didn't notice Yan Shengyi's expectant eyes. He just smiled, said "good night", and pushed the door back to the room.

Yan Shengyi stared at it for a while, until the door closed completely in front of him, then he reluctantly went back to his room.

The night was long, but in the end she had to endure it alone.

In the room, Song Xu lit the oil lamp, and the warm yellow light instantly lit up, warming the entire room.

Song Xu slowly sat down by holding the table, his face looked a little pale under the light.

Staring blankly at the bean-sized flame for a long time, Song Xu slowly closed his eyes.
[33, Query the task progress.]
33: [Host, please note! This world mission: Get rid of your grandfather's control and live freely for the rest of your life. Current mission completion rate: 50%]
The cold mechanical sound was like a broom, sweeping away all the distracting thoughts in my mind.

Song Xu let out a light breath, raised his hand to rub his brows, and with his other hand he waved to extinguish the oil lamp, and the room returned to darkness.

[What about the sound?]
33: [Ms. Shu Shengyi’s current task completion rate is: 99%]
Song Xu: [I understand.]
She slowly fell down on the table as if exhausted, burying her head in her arms.

The darkness enveloped her completely, as if she was back in the gloomy and hopeless attic.

Dust filled the cold air, and in the dim attic, the only light came from the small square window.

Hunger, panic and despair enveloped the little girl, less than ten years old, who was huddled in the corner like a thick fog.

In stark contrast to here, there is a beautifully decorated banquet in the courtyard outside.

The guests were all smiling and radiant. A group of children around ten years old were running around and playing games, looking innocent and carefree.

Noise and silence are only separated by a wall.

"A Xu is a very lovely person."

The man was holding a small and exquisite cake in his hand and walked up to Xiao Song Xu with a smile.

"Happy birthday to my lovely Ah Xu."

That warm smile was like a fleeting glimpse, fleeting in an instant.

Song Xu sat up suddenly, opened his eyes and looked at the darkness in the room. His eyes seemed to have lost their luster, leaving only emptiness.

"Sister, Shengsheng"

The barely audible murmur fell into the silent darkness, but it still injected new vitality into Song Xu's body.

She stood up and walked towards the door. Even though her foot kicked the stool next to her, she didn't feel any pain.

Song Xu stumbled out of the darkness and stood at the door of Yan Shengyi's room.

He raised his hand and placed it on the door, but before he could exert any force, Yan Sheng, who had heard the noise and got out of bed, had already opened the door.

"Ah Xu, what's wrong? Why do you look so bad?"

Yan Shengyi looked at Song Xu's pale face worriedly, raised his hand and touched Song Xu's forehead, only feeling slightly cool, not hot.

"Are you feeling unwell somewhere? No, I'll take you to Wu Wenxian for a checkup."

"No, I'm fine."
Song Xu held her hand in time, and rubbed his slightly cold face against her warm palm, thinking of the tabby cat that occasionally asked for petting.

Yan Sheng also calmed down, put his other hand around Song Xu's waist, and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Let me hug you. Are you unhappy today, Xu? You seem very tired all the time."

Song Xu didn't say anything, and buried his head in her arms. Only this intimate action could make her feel slightly at ease.

Yan Sheng, who had never been embraced by someone before, was a little surprised and quickly hugged the person tightly.
After hesitating for a moment, he threw aside his usual seriousness and spoke tentatively:
"Ah Xu, do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

"want."
Song Xu still had his head buried and spoke in a muffled voice.

Yan Sheng was also happy. He put one hand on Song Xu's waist and the other on his leg, and picked him up like a child.

Song Xu hugged her neck obediently, resting his head on her shoulder, hiding an expression of great attachment.

He held his beloved in his arms with a smile on his face, turned around, closed the door with his foot, and happily walked to the bed with his beloved in his arms.

He carefully placed the person on the inside of the bed. Just as Yan Shengyi lay down, Song Xu came into his arms.

"Why is Ah Xu more clingy than Li Hua?"

Although she said this, the smile on her face betrayed her true self.

Song Xu ignored her and hugged her even tighter.

Yan Shengyi lay on his side, letting her hold him. He patted her back gently and finally put his arms around her waist.

"Go to sleep, I'm here."

Gentle words dispel the uneasy nightmare, leaving only the sweetness of a deep sleep.

The two hugged each other tightly, had a dreamless night, and slept soundly until dawn.

"Madam boss! That guy ran away!"

As the sky was about to brighten, the loud voice of the waiter could be heard from downstairs. Yan Shengyi opened his eyes in an instant and met Song Xu's dark eyes.

Song Xu woke up very early, but lay motionless in Yan Shengyi's arms, staring at her quietly.

Even though he heard the waiter's call, he pretended not to hear it and did not react. The first thing he did was to say good morning to Yan Shengyi who had just woken up.

"Good morning, Shengsheng."

"Ah Xu, Ning Zhen ran away."
Yan Shengyi didn't care and just sat up with the person in his arms, and hurried to get out of bed.

Song Xu reached out and held her, smiled and shook his head, saying: "If he ran away, he ran away, don't worry about him."

"Why don't you care?"

Yan Shengyi frowned and raised his voice in anxiety.

"What if Ning Zhen runs back and tells Ning Xiong, and then he sends people to arrest you? What will you do then?"

Song Xu looked at her expression of hidden anger, unconsciously loosened his hand, bit his lip and looked uneasy.

The remaining words stuck in her throat suddenly couldn't be uttered. Yan Shengyi looked at her obviously helpless look and completely softened his heart.

He took her hand and kissed it, then apologized softly:
"Ah Xu, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have been so mean to you."

Song Xu smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't mind, you're just too anxious."

"Yes, yes, I am really dizzy. I just woke up and my mind is still not clear."

Yan Shengyi raised his hand and patted his forehead, exhaled lightly, and then continued:

"Don't be afraid. If Ning Zhen really runs back and reports the news, what will happen even if Ning Xiong leads his men here? With my martial arts as the Left Protector of the Demon Sect, I will be able to beat them and make them flee in panic."

She clenched her fists and waved them twice, her eyebrows and eyes instantly became sharp, and her majestic aura formed a strong contrast with the loose inner garment she was wearing.

Song Xu was so amused that he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Yan Sheng was also stunned for a moment, and asked her puzzledly: "What are you laughing at, Ah Xu?"

Song Xu smiled with eyes curved, and after a long while, he spoke;

"Nothing, I just thought of their embarrassed looks as they ran away in panic after being beaten by the noises."

"Humph, if they dare to come, I will make sure they never come back, no, I will make them go back in disgrace."

At least out of consideration for Ning Xiong's identity as his grandfather, Yan Sheng changed his words in the end, but he still couldn't hide the dangerous murderous intent in his eyes.

No matter who it is, if they dare to try to take Ah Xu away from her, she will tear that person into pieces and grind their bones to ashes.

"Madam boss! That man is back again!"

It was the waiter's loud voice again, but this time it stunned Song Xu and Yan Shengyi.

What does it mean? Back? The person ran away and came back?
Song Xu couldn't sit still anymore, and they got up immediately, changed their clothes quickly, and made themselves look good. Then they walked downstairs quickly.

As soon as he got downstairs, Yan Shengyi discovered that the door of Gouyue Tower was half open. Song Xu raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the backyard, and Yan Shengyi saw that all the waiters were gathered there.

The two of them walked over quickly. Yan Shengyi pushed aside the two waiters who were surrounding them first, then walked in holding Song Xu behind him.

I saw Wu Qian sitting on a wide bench holding a teacup, with his legs crossed quite comfortably.

Ning Zhen was lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied up tightly with thick ropes. He had his eyes closed and looked half dead.

Yan Shengyi stepped forward and kicked Ning Zhen, and when he found that she was still breathing, he turned his gaze to Wu Qian who was leisurely drinking tea on the side.

"what 's wrong?"

"A whole roasted lamb."
Wu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and extended a finger.

Yan Shengyi didn't even blink, and said straightforwardly:
"Deal, tell me."

"Wow, this is rare. This is the first time the boss lady is so generous."

Wu Qian happily handed the teacup to the waiter beside him, stood up leisurely, put his hands in his sleeves and said slowly:
"We got home late last night. We passed through the alley in front and saw him at the entrance. It was dark at the time so how could anyone see clearly? I asked Wu Liang to carry him back to the clinic."

Wu Qian chuckled and said proudly:
"I didn't expect it. When I got back to the clinic and looked at him under the light, I recognized him. So I brought him here early this morning. Madam Boss, Miss Ning, I, Wu Wenxian, am very kind."

Yan Sheng also nodded at her.
"Thank you. I won't charge you for yesterday's meal."

Wu Qian was originally smiling, but Yan Shengyi's words made her eyes widen.

"You, you, you, why are you so stingy! Miss Ning, why don't you take care of her?"

Song Xu smiled without saying anything. When his eyes met Yan Sheng's pretended innocent eyes, the smile on his lips deepened by three points.

Wu Qian: “.”

"By the way, what's going on with him?"

He raised his leg and kicked Ning Zhen who was lying motionless, and Yan Sheng also looked at Wu Qian.

"Don't worry, you won't die."
Wu Qian came forward and kicked him, saying casually:
"He was too hungry, and I left him in the yard freezing all night yesterday. I gave him some medicine when I got here, and I'll feed him something to eat later."

"understood."

Yan Sheng also nodded and raised his hand, and the two waiters standing nearby came forward and carried the person away.

His slightly cold eyes swept across the faces of all the waiters, and seeing them all lowering their brows and eyes, Yan Sheng also snorted.

"Keep your eyes open and don't make any more mistakes."

All the waiters lowered their heads and responded respectfully:
"Yes! Madam boss."

"Wow, the boss lady is awesome."

Wu Qian started to be sarcastic again, but Yan Sheng ignored her. He straightened his sleeves and stuck to Song Xu again, and the sight of their interlocked hands made Wu Qian's teeth ache.

The two of them left, and the other waiters started to get busy. Soon, Wu Qian was the only one left standing alone in the yard.

"Humph!"
Wu Qian swung his sleeves vigorously, put his hands behind his back, and strode back to the clinic with his head held high.
