Chapter 66.2
Yoder did not stay long. He gave Shen Mingye a deep look when he said goodbye, and the contempt in his eyes finally disappeared. Because whether the teenager is weak or not, he is equal to him when it comes to love.
“The matter of the marriage contract……I will try again to get a reaction from my father. Although the marriage contract is already not valid since you don’t recognize it, it would still be a little better for both families to make a statement at the same time.”
Yoder’s words immediately woke up Ahaz, who was staring at Shen Mingye closely.
Damn it! He’d forgotten that the engagement was only unwanted by Shen Mingye. Now that he was trapped in this robot’s body, who would Yoder call to break the engagement?
Ahaz rarely has regrets, but now he regrets it so much that he wants to strangle himself for refusing Yoder’s request to break the engagement before……
Yoder looked at how the other’s eyes brightened for a moment because of his words and even smiled towards him for the first time. There was something inexplicably unpleasant in his heart.
Just the mere thought of breaking off the engagement with me makes you so happy?
After Yoder left, Shen Mingye’s mood stayed the same. He was clearly relieved by the hope of perfectly settling the marriage contract issue that had been bothering him for a long time. After all, his unilateral and capricious non-recognition was likely to bring discord between the two families. Still, it would be a different story if Yoder could persuade the Elmond family to accept it.
But Shen Mingye’s happiness did not last into the evening because Feng Fei Ming took a phone call and had to leave again.
“Can’t……you stay at home tonight?” Shen Mingye tugged the sleeve of Feng Fei Ming, who wanted to leave.
Feng Fei Ming was obviously more gentle with Shen Mingye because of what happened after lunch. Still, he was only soft-hearted for a moment, not to the point of pushing away work for Shen Mingye.
“Sorry, there are some problems at the moment.” Feng Fei Ming eventually took his jacket and left, but when he was leaving, he turned his head to look at the person behind him and left a message after a pause, “In the evening, I should be able to come back.”
This uncertain statement alone appeased the young man.
Shen Mingye sent him out the door and waved at him on his tiptoes by the end: “Be careful on the road! Early……come back early!”
The youth’s sweet gesture made Ahaz’s heart sour, making his eyes grew darker as he looked at the rear of Feng Fei Ming’s hovercar.
This man will definitely not come back tonight because Ahaz saw clearly that after what happened today at noon, though the young man’s sincerity made Feng Fei Ming’s attitude towards him became a little bit milder, it also made Feng Fei Ming’s inner darkness have nowhere to hide.
Therefore, Feng Fei Ming resorted to evasion.
Ahaz gritted his teeth. Since he had already decided to escape, why did he give the youth hope then? Does he not know that just because of his ambiguous words, with Shen Mingye’s nature, he can wait until late at night!
“K, let’s follow the plan to set up the living room! Fei Ming said he would come back.” Shen Mingye turned around and smiled towards Ahaz.
Ahaz bowed down and said, “As you wish.”
Despite these words, Ahaz stopped the youth from coming forward to help. It was his birthday, so how could he be bothered to do the preparation himself?
Ahaz lowered his head to cover the emotions in his eyes. Shen Mingye was looking forward to this, so how could he be willing to say the truth to sweep him off his feet? At the same time, Ahaz could barely hold back the storm in his heart. His boy……how did he fall for Feng Fei Ming, a heartless and despicable bastard?
Qing Yun meant to be busy for a while to let the camera on butler K capture it, and after that, he sat on the sofa eating fruit and directing Ahaz as he worked.
"
"
He kept examining the robot that was busy with his orders with a scrutinizing gaze. Who was this person?
It was definitely not the original butler K because, in K’s program, there was only one master, Feng Fei Ming. Feng Fei Ming didn’t even give Shen Mingye a second authority. The routine of the butler K taking care of Shen Mingye was only an order from Feng Fei Ming.
In other words, the ordinary butler K would never say words that “obey orders” to Shen Mingye.
So there is unmistakably someone else controlling this robot’s body right now.
Is it Yoder? Yoder could not do this with such calmness.
In the evening, the thing that Ahaz feared most happened.
The dinner was prepared, and the living room was painstakingly decorated in Oriental style, but Feng Fei Ming never returned.
“Dinner? Young master?” Ahaz looked at the time and approached Shen Mingye, who was sitting in the living room reading a book while waiting for Feng Fei Ming
Unsurprisingly for Ahaz, the other smiled and shook his head at him, saying, “Fei Ming said he’d be back tonight, I couldn’t not wait for him, plus this is our surprise for him.”
Ahaz was practically roaring with rage in his heart. It is your birthday, why do you want to surprise him?
But how grumpy he was in his heart, how gentle he looked at the teenager. His love should not be trampled on like this but should be held in the palm of one’s hand and cared for.
Ahaz now especially wants to return to his body and immediately come to this cold place to take the young man away and give him the most unconditional pampering in the Elmond house. He would never have to worry about others and can feel free to follow his dreams.
"
"
But……
Looking at the young man occasionally glancing at the door, Ahaz’s heart suddenly ached.
Even if he had the opportunity to take the young man and what is the use? Shen Mingye is deeply in love with Feng Fei Ming. What’s even more frightening is that Feng Fei Ming is making the illusion of liking him back in the teenager’s heart. So how can Shen Mingye, who is already drowning in love, get out of it?
And knowing his identity, what would Shen Mingye think of the courtship from someone who could almost be called his “elder”?
Ahaz’s entire being was dispirited at the thought of this.
But this night, Ahaz was destined not to wallow in his emotions. Feng Fei Ming never returned, and Shen Mingye waited until the meal had all gone cold until the moon slowly rose into the sky.
The youth had finished reading two books in the dim light of the living room. The glow in his eyes, which looked out the door from time to time, had slowly faded, and in the end, only the slightest wisp of worry remained.
But no matter how Ahaz persuaded him to eat, the youth has always refused.
Finally, Shen Mingye closed the book in his hand, and he turned his head to look at Ahaz and said, “K…… do you want to give Fei Ming a call? He wouldn’t have had an accident on the road, right?”
Ahaz, who initially thought Shen Mingye has finally decided to eat, sighed helplessly in his heart when he heard the young man’s words and obliged to contact Feng Fei Ming.
He should be glad that Feng Fei Ming gave the butler K the power to contact him to monitor whether Shen Mingye had made some dangerous moves to seize power at home.
Ahaz dialed Feng Fei Ming’s number, and the person who answered the phone was his secretary.
The secretary told Ahaz in a sweet voice, “The boss and Mr. Yoder went to Aquamarine Bay to watch the annual Blue Moon. Is there an important matter?”
Hearing the secretary’s words, Ahaz felt cold in his hands and feet, and it was fortunate that he did not put this matter out. Otherwise, the young man who had been watching him from behind would know that the person he was longing for ran off to go on a date with someone else when he had clearly promised him. Then, what would happen to Shen Mingye by now?
Ahaz was silent for several seconds before he could control his emotions. He lied to Shen Mingye, “The master had some temporary problems at work and couldn’t leave.”
Shen Mingye, who had been watching Ahaz on the phone, finally sighed with relief and smiled, “It’s good that he’s okay.”
Ahaz just wanted to use this to let the young man finish his dinner early and go to bed, but the youth’s next words were, “Then, Fei Ming should come back when he’s done, I’ll wait a little longer.”
It was already midnight, and the coolness gradually penetrated every corner of the house. The young man was unprepared and sneezed.
Ahaz immediately took a blanket and put it on the boy, moving gently while he turned up the air-conditioning temperature in the house a bit.
Qing Yun held the soft, thin blanket on his shoulder, slightly dazed.
Of course, he could guess that Feng Fei Ming is probably dating Yoder at this moment. This man lacks in love, but he does not value the true feelings of others. Even for Yoder, he is not completely sincere.
But Shen Mingye doesn’t know, so he still has to pretend. However, he was surprised that butler K could tell him such a “well-intentioned lie”.
He looked at Ahaz, who was expressionless behind him but appeared surprisingly gentle with his eyes, and a guess suddenly came to his mind.
Qing Yun instantly reached out his hand and pressed on the man’s waist. Pressing the mechanical tissue under the skin, he realized that this is just a robot with no acupuncture points to speak of.
Just after withdrawing his hand, Qing Yun sneezed again. This time after he finished, he was actually a little confused because it wasn’t him pretending……
Ahaz looked at the person, who sneezed again, draped in a blanket. The confused little eyes with the red tip of the nose looked unusually cute and heartbreaking.
“How about getting something to eat and going to rest? Hmm?” Ahaz came closer and tenderly rubbed the top of the teenager’s hair.
“No, I have to wait……” Qing Yun is still a bit dazed, and his words were not Shen Mingye’s good-natured style but instead took on his own willful nature. He was not expecting to catch a cold since he had strengthened this body. Although most of the energy was added to the artistic creation, he also considered the physical body.
He can also have a cold?
Thinking this way, Qing Yun felt a little dizzy. This dizziness was entirely within his tolerance range, but it still surprised him a lot.
Ahaz sensitively felt the young man’s abnormal body temperature and immediately reached out to test his forehead.
It was hot.
Ahaz carefully examined the young man’s face. Indeed, his cheeks were red. Ahaz only thought his sneezing caused it, but he did not think it was because of a fever.
“You have a fever, quick, go to bed and lie down.” Ahaz’s words carried anxiousness, ignoring his current status. He was too careless. Last night, the young man read a book for an unknown time, and tonight he sat in the living room until late at night, so how could his body hold up?
“Fever?” Qing Yun was still a bit dazed, and the robot butler in front of him had an unprecedentedly anxious look on his face.
Without waiting for him to refuse, this man, whose identity is unknown, immediately picked him up and carried him upstairs.
The man’s arms were so steady that the drowsy Qing Yun surprisingly developed a feeling of wanting to rely on them. He gave a small yawn, rubbed himself on Ahaz’s shoulder, and skillfully found a comfortable position for himself.
The heavy touch on his shoulder made Ahaz’s heart a soft mess, and he quickly walked into the young man’s room, bypassing the huge bookcase on one side to place the person on the big soft bed.
The little youth shrank into a ball on the bed as Ahaz immediately turned to find the fever-reducing medicine. He had already gotten the medicine and poured water when he froze with a frown.
If he remembered correctly, when the Elmond family and the Patterson family decided to join together, they had given Shen Mingye and Yoder a thorough examination and genetic matching for the sake of their offspring. At that time, it seemed that someone had said that Shen Mingye had a particular allergy and that medications and other things should not be used indiscriminately.
Ahaz looked at the fever-reducing medicine instructions in his hand, “Use with caution in case of allergies”, and frowned with worry.
After immediately calling the family doctor, Ahaz arranged for someone to wait outside. Then, he quickly returned to the teenager’s side.
Qing Yun was lying on the big bed. The thin quilt covering him had been kicked aside, and the neckline of his clothes were scrunched and slightly unraveled. He was covered with a strange flush, and his half-open eyes looked like they were haloed with traces of tears, giving off a sparkling glow under the light.
Ahaz went to the bedside and saw such a view.
Ahaz’s soul was practically boiling but being in a robot body like this, his body could not react accordingly.
