Chapter 31: What's Big Brother's Business?

  "What are you thinking?" Song Tang's gaze had been following me as I bustled back and forth, seemingly having endured for a long time before finally asking this question.

  I suppressed my emotions and said: "Nothing in particular, just thinking about the various things that have happened since we got married, I feel that life is really unpredictable."

  "At such a young age, he's already sighing about life," He let out a soft "hmm" as if in disdain, and I didn't bother arguing with this stubborn child.

  "He told me after a while when he saw I didn't speak: 'You can just sleep in the small soft bed outside Hong Ling's room at night, and drive her out.'"

  I softly murmured "uh-huh", and my mind was filled with Yichi, nothing else.

  After serving him to sleep well, I called Hong Ling to go to the maid's room to sleep. She seemed unwilling, and at that time, I wasn't in a hurry either. Slowly combing my long black hair, I lazily said: "Hong Ling, tonight is my wedding night with Second Master, do you want to stay outside and listen carefully?"

  Hong Ling's face was thick-skinned, but after all, she was a young lady, and without saying anything, she turned around and left.

  I heard her close the door and let out a sigh of relief, and from inside came Song Tang's suppressed laughter, as if a faint "heh".

  Lying on the soft couch, I tossed and turned but couldn't sleep, so I got up, pushed open the window and gazed at the distant starry night, and my heart felt much more at peace.

  I propped my head up with one hand, lying sideways on the windowsill, gazing upwards. The sky was an eerie ink color, like a bottomless deep sea. Just as I had this feeling, water droplets began to fall from above, landing on my lips, salty and bitter.

  I looked up in astonishment, only to see a dark figure looming over me from above. Just as I was about to shout out loud, someone covered my mouth with their hand. My eyes widened in alarm - could it be an assassin?

  "It's me." The person slightly loosened his grip on my hand, and I turned back to see that the person behind me was Song Ming. He had a sly smile at the corner of his mouth, lazily looking at me. To be honest, I couldn't see anything about this person that made him seem like the "Great General Tiger's Might".

  "Big brother visits in the middle of the night, what brings you here?" I lightly brushed off the wine water on my clothes, it's really strange, this person's wine is also so bitter and astringent.
