Seeing Ye Ming's completely uninterested demeanor, Hua Tianmin felt helpless.
It seemed he had to find a suitable opportunity for Ye Ming to feel the weight of the "Honorary National Scholar" medal.
"Little brother Ye, please stay! Please stay!" Seeing Ye Ming was about to leave, Hua Tianmin hurriedly said, "Uh... this..."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Hua Tianmin's hesitant expression, Ye Ming was very surprised.
Hua Tianmin first glanced at Ye Ming, frowning slightly, clearly conflicted.
This...
Hua Tianmin's series of actions truly bewildered Ye Ming.
What was going on?
Finally, Hua Tianmin asked the biggest question in his heart.
"Little brother Ye, do you have a grudge against the Nangong family?"
Ye Ming: "?????"
...
A few minutes later, Ye Ming returned to the Nangong family courtyard alone.
"Hmm?"
Seeing only Ye Ming, Nangong Qianyu immediately asked, "Where is Lord Hua?"
"Lord Hua! Uh! He had something to attend to and left, asking me to convey his regards to Grandpa Nangong," Ye Ming said to Nangong Li.
This...
Everyone looked at Ye Ming, feeling something was strange, but couldn't quite pinpoint it.
Nangong Qianyu walked up to Ye Ming, scrutinizing him from head to toe, and questioned, "Be honest, do you know Lord Hua?"
"Ah!"
Ye Ming shook his head: "I don't know!"
"Then he..."
Just as Nangong Qianyu was about to continue questioning, Nangong Li suddenly spoke, interrupting her.
"Alright! You all can go now!" Nangong Li stood up and looked at Ye Ming: "You come with me."
He then walked away.
Seeing this, Ye Ming could only follow.
He had long guessed that Nangong Li would seek him out.
...
An hour later, Ye Ming emerged from Nangong Li's study.
As he was about to look for Nangong Qianyu and the others, he happened to encounter Nangong Yi.
"Yo! Brother-in-law, how was your chat with my grandfather?"
Seeing Ye Ming come out, Nangong Yi immediately asked.
"Do I need to say? My grandfather was naturally very satisfied with me," Ye Ming said proudly.
And the truth was indeed so.
But what exactly was discussed? In this world, besides the two of them, no one else would ever know.
"Awesome!" Nangong Yi said nothing else but gave a thumbs-up.
"Great! Since you're out, I'll take you to see something good." Nangong Yi's eyebrows raised, putting on a knowing expression.
"What?"
Before Ye Ming could find out what it was, Nangong Yi had already dragged him away.
Another half hour passed, and Ye Ming and Nangong Yi emerged from the room.
However, their faces were slightly flushed, their heartbeats significantly faster than normal, and their eyes held a hint of vagueness.
Seeing them like this, an uninformed person might think they had done something inappropriate for children.
But coincidentally, after walking only a few steps, they encountered Nangong Qianyu and Fang Junxue, who were out for a stroll.
"What's wrong? Why are your faces so red?" Nangong Qianyu asked, puzzled by their flushed faces.
"N-nothing!" Nangong Yi's expression tensed when he saw the two suddenly appear.
"Nothing?"
Nangong Qianyu walked up and stared intently at Nangong Yi.
Her intuition told her that these two definitely had a secret.
But the next second, when Nangong Qianyu looked in the direction they had come from, her expression suddenly fell.
Because the direction they had come from was Nangong Yi's room.
As for what was inside? She, as his sister, had seen it a few times.
"Nangong... Yi, how dare you take Ye Ming to see those messy things." Nangong Qianyu instantly flew into a rage.
"It's over!"
This was Nangong Yi's first thought at that moment.
"Sister! I was wrong, I..."
Just as he was desperately begging for mercy, he realized Nangong Qianyu had already rushed towards his room.
Seeing this, Nangong Yi had no time to think and quickly chased after her.
He feared that if he was a few steps slower, his rare collections would cease to exist.
"Sister! I was wrong, please show mercy!"
At this moment, Nangong Yi's plea could be heard from afar.
After the two left, only Ye Ming and Fang Junxue remained.
Ye Ming suddenly recalled the scene he had just witnessed and then looked at Fang Junxue beside him.
It's over!
Can't think about it anymore!
Ye Ming frantically warned himself!
It was all Nangong Yi's fault for dragging him to see those stimulating things.
"Was it good?"
At this moment, a clear, cold voice reached Ye Ming's ears.
"Good! Good..."
Lost in thought, Ye Ming subconsciously replied.
But when he smelled a faint fragrance, he realized something was wrong.
Snapping back to reality, he saw a peerlessly beautiful face close at hand.
"Uh! I... I didn't mean that! I..." Ye Ming quickly tried to explain.
This!
It was a bit awkward.
"Oh! You mean I'm not good-looking?" Fang Junxue asked, her bright eyes fixed on Ye Ming.
"N-no! You are very..."
It's over, Ye Ming stammered.
"Pfft!"
Seeing Ye Ming's silly expression, Fang Junxue lightly tapped his head with her jade hand, a brilliant smile blooming on her lips.
At this moment, Fang Junxue was truly beautiful.
Perhaps a fairy descended from a painting would be no more than this.
"Hmph! You dare to tease me!"
Seeing the smile on Fang Junxue's pretty face, Ye Ming, under the guise of punishment, directly pulled her over and "fiercely" pressed his lips onto her delicate red lips.
"Mmph!"
Fang Junxue did not expect Ye Ming to be so bold.
This was in the Nangong family!
"Mmph! You... let me go."
After a brief struggle, Fang Junxue escaped his grasp.
Her pretty face was flushed, but her eyes were filled with a hint of resentment.
But Ye Ming was unfazed, provocatively licking his lips and looking at Fang Junxue: "This is the consequence of teasing me."
Must say!
It was really sweet!
No choice, facing Ye Ming's provocation, Fang Junxue could only endure it.
Otherwise, who knew what crazy actions Ye Ming might take?
"I'll deal with you later!" Fang Junxue finally left a stern warning.
Only she didn't expect that this sentence, when it reached Ye Ming's ears, would have a completely different meaning.
"Okay! I'll be waiting for you to deal with me!" he said with excitement.
Ah!
I really hope to go back soon!
This was his only wish at the moment.
Not long after, Nangong Qianyu walked out of Nangong Yi's room.
Behind her was a dejected-looking Nangong Yi.
Just by looking at his expression, Ye Ming guessed that his rare collections were likely beyond repair.
"Humph!"
Nangong Qianyu walked over, first glaring fiercely at Ye Ming, then pulling Fang Junxue away, and kept muttering in Fang Junxue's ear: "Men are indeed not good things."
Uh!
The two men who heard this felt like digging a hole to hide in.
It was too embarrassing.
After the two women left, Ye Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Nangong Yi beside him, patting his shoulder and comforting him, "Brother! My condolences!"
But when he turned his head, he realized Nangong Yi's expression was not right.
Because the previous dejected look had long since vanished into thin air.
"Brother, you..." Ye Ming looked confused.
Then Nangong Yi chuckled, and proudly said to Ye Ming, "Fortunately, I had a backup plan, otherwise, I would have been completely wiped out."
Hearing this, Ye Ming gave him a thumbs-up.
Awesome!
