Even though separated by a screen, it felt like someone was gripping his throat. The sensation was so real that, for a moment, it seemed like his heartbeat stopped. Yan Song’s large hand reached over, and then—everything went dark... "Second sister, did big brother find out about us? Oh no, oh no, he’s definitely going to kill me... What do I do?" Yan Xing was like an ant on a hot pan, flustered and frantic. "Now you’re scared, but what about before?" Yan Hua looked at her amused. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the ⓝovelFire.net Yan Xing suddenly widened her eyes: "Big brother doesn’t know it was me who did it. As long as I don’t admit it, what can he do to me?" Acting like a rascal. "You know who big brother is. If he wants to find out, can you still hide it from him? If he finds out you intentionally kept it from him, you’ll be in even more trouble." "Ah... What should I do then?" Yan Xing became anxious. "Come on, let’s go find big brother and Yun Ya to admit our mistakes. As long as you’re honest about it, big brother won’t blame you." Yan Hua said as she reached for Yan Xing, who jerked away and stepped back suddenly. "What are you afraid of? I’ll plead for you with big brother, he’s cold-faced but warm-hearted, he won’t be mad at you." "Let’s forget it." Yan Xing suddenly got excited: "I’ll give big brother a present, he won’t blame me and might even praise me." "What?" Yan Hua looked at her curiously. "You’ll find out soon enough." Yan Xing turned and lay back down in front of the computer, typing away furiously. "A pinhole camera?" Yan Song looked at the item he found among the green plant leaves, frowning deeply. Yun Ya had just moved in and discovered this thing in the room, how despicable. If he finds out who did it, he won’t spare her. Yan Song turned and walked out, Ah Yun was guarding the door, "Young Master Yan...." "Since Yun Ya moved in, has anyone else been inside?" Yan Song asked coldly. Although Ah Yun didn’t know why Yan Song was asking this question, she still replied honestly: "Aside from Third Lady and the two maids tidying up the room, just me and Miss Star." "I’m sure." Ah Yun said decisively. Yan Song frowned again, it must have been left behind earlier. Lu Mingzhu used to live here—it must have been Lu Mingzhu who did it? This woman really does have no shame. Resisting the urge to crush the camera, Yan Song turned and left the West Warm Pavilion. "Don’t worry, Captain, I know what to do." Watching the person disappear into the Plum Forest, Yan Song’s lips curved into a cold smile as he turned and walked back. Just as he reached the West Warm Pavilion’s entrance, he suddenly heard a crisp shout from behind: "Big Brother." Yan Song turned his head to see Yan Xing pulling Yan Hua as she quickly came running. Yan Xing’s cheeks were flushed, her complexion lively, while Yan Hua looked a bit weak and pale. "What are you doing here?" Yan Song frowned. Yan Xing chuckled: "Big brother, I’m here to admit my mistake." "Admit your mistake?" Yan Song looked her up and down, recalling her previous behavior towards Yun Ya, and snorted coldly: "What’s your mistake?" Yan Xing shrunk her neck: "I... I shouldn’t have secretly placed a camera in the room, but big brother, you have to believe me, I definitely didn’t do it to spy on Ji Yunya. I... I placed it because of Lu Mingzhu and didn’t expect her to only stay for a day...." So the camera was placed by Yan Xing. Yan Song pretended to be angry: "This is simply outrageous! If you’re discovered, how are you going to explain it?" When Yan Song got angry, Yan Xing almost started crying, she pitifully said with her shoulders hunched: "Big brother... I’m sorry." "Big brother, Xingxing knows she was wrong, besides, she didn’t place it to spy on Yun Ya either. Considering her honest attitude, please forgive her." Yan Hua also spoke up for Yan Xing. Yan Xing stuffed a USB drive into his hand: "Take this and have a good look at it later, consider it my way of making up for it. Big brother, rest assured, I won’t cause issues for Ji Yunya again." After speaking, she pulled Yan Hua and ran off. Yan Song frowned at the USB drive in his hand. Although Yan Xing was unruly and willful, deep down she was kind. As long as she didn’t bother Yun Ya anymore, he couldn’t be bothered to deal with her. Yan Song turned back to the West Warm Pavilion, went upstairs, casually placed the USB drive on the desk, took off his coat, and crawled into bed. The chill clung to him, causing Yun Ya to shiver. The next moment, she instinctively sought his warm embrace. Bathed in moonlight, Yan Song glanced down at her sleeping face, his lips slightly curving as he held her tighter and closed his eyes.
