"Everyone, stop looking. Go to sleep!" Empty said gloomily and walked toward his residence.
The next morning…
After breakfast, Leng Ruoxue and the others were chatting in the garden when Lan Lie brought Leng Wudi over.
"Little Icy, I'm here to see you. I haven't seen you for a night. I missed you so much," Lan Lie said mus.h.i.+ly.
At the same time, everyone present was so shocked that they broke out in cold sweat. Beside him, Leng Wudi immediately jumped two meters away from him with a very strange expression on his face. His eyes stared at him with slight fear, and the words 'I don't know him' were written on his face.
"Little Icy, I'm talking to you. Why are you ignoring me!" Lan Lie said coquettishly.
Icy shook his head and said very seriously, "Don't think about me. I'm not interested in males."
"…" Everyone was speechless…
"Boohoo… Little Icy, you really hurt my heart. I missed you for the entire night and didn't sleep well. Look, I have dark circles under my eyes," Lan Lie said pitifully. Tears flashed in his eyes but didn't fall.
"Go after a female. I'm a male," Icy said furiously. d.a.m.n it. The qilin race didn't approve of boy love.
"But I only have you in my heart," Lan Lie said suggestively.
"Little Snowy, I can't take it anymore," Icy said pitifully to Leng Ruoxue.
"Uh! There's no need to hold back anymore." Leng Ruoxue suppressed her smile.
"Okay!" Icy was angry, especially after seeing everyone turning their heads to snicker. So he opened his mouth and sneezed loudly, blowing Lan Lie out of Ning Xi Garden. Of course, he was lenient compared to how he treated the Sun family.
Everyone watched as Lan Lie flew out of the garden with a whoosh and disappeared. They broke out in cold sweat and thought in unison, Fortunately, we aren't the ones flying out! The atmosphere in the garden immediately fell to a minimum, and everyone fell silent!
After a long while…
Lan Lie limped in a very sorry state into Ning Xi Garden with the help of a servant.
"Little Icy, you're too cruel," Lan Lie said aggrievedly with tears in his eyes.
Unfortunately, Icy didn't even raise his eyes and started snoring on Leng Ruoxue's shoulder.
Seeing Icy ignoring him, Lan Lie turned his head and said to everyone, "You have no sympathy."
But Leng Ruoxue and the others also turned their heads, and no one bothered with him.
"Uncle, your cute nephew is injured," Lan Lie called out directly, unwilling to give up.
"Uh! Then quickly return to your room to rest!" Lan Ming braced himself and comforted him helplessly.
Lan Ming's answer displeased Lan Lie, so he said to Leng Wudi, "Little Di Di, your best friend is injured."
"If you call me Little Di Di again, I will hurt you even more," Leng Wudi said indifferently with a cold smile.
"Little Di Di? Haha! That's a good name!" Old Zao started laughing hysterically after hearing this name.
Leng Wudi threw a sharp glare at him. But not only did it not stop Old Zao from laughing, he even laughed more happily…
Leng Wudi was depressed. These people were mentally abnormal and couldn't be inferred with common sense! So he didn't bicker with this old man! Hmph!
"Little Di Di, can you bear to do it?" At this moment, Lan Lie secretly looked at Leng Wudi and pretended to be pitiful.
"Yes, I can. You can try calling me that again if you don't believe me," Leng Wudi said with a spurious smile, his eyes very unfriendly.
"Uh! If you don't like it, I won't call you by that name!" Lan Lie admitted defeat. Boohoo… He couldn't defeat this fellow! Alas! He was in a disadvantaged group!
Leng Wudi nodded, very satisfied with Lan Lie's tact.
Lan Lie found a seat and asked with concern, "By the way, were you alright yesterday?"
"We're fine. Thank you for your concern," Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
"It's really strange. Those people of Sun family actually committed suicide and stole many of our silver snow fish," Lan Lie continued, his handsome face full of doubts.
"They committed suicide to avoid punishment! It's very normal!" Leng Ruoxue said.
"That's true." Lan Lie thought about it for a bit and then stopped thinking about it.
"Lan Lie, we will be leaving the day after tomorrow. Thank you for your hospitality," Leng Ruoxue said politely.
"Okay! I'll go with you then. I haven't returned to Blue Cloud City for a long time. I can go home and take a look," Lan Lie said with a smile.
"Did I hear it wrong? Do you mean that you miss home?" Leng Wudi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What do you mean? Can't I miss home?" Lan Lie shouted.
"It's unrealistic for you to miss home," Leng Wudi said matter-of-factly.
He had known Lan Lie since they were young. He knew Lan Lie's character better than anyone else. This guy had never liked to stay at home since he was a child, and he wanted to run away from home whenever he had the chance. Now, a person who liked to run away from home suddenly said he wanted to go home. Wasn't this more unbelievable than red rain falling from the sky?
"Young Master!"
Before Lan Lie could argue, the steward suddenly appeared in Ning Xi Garden and whispered something in Lan Lie's ear.
"What is she doing here? Ask her to stay in Peace Garden," Lan Lie said impatiently and glared at Leng Wudi. This man is really a source of trouble!
"Fifth Miss refused," the steward said helplessly. The Lan family was deeply troubled by their fifth miss's willfulness, but they were helpless. Alas! The fifth miss was favored!
"She has to agree even if she doesn't want to. It's not up to her," Lan Lie said furiously. Hmph! He couldn't do anything to these people, but couldn't he deal with the Lan family?
"Erm…" The steward was in a dilemma.
"Tell her that she can either go to Peace Garden or scram. Tell her what I said," Lan Lie said angrily.
"Alright then!" The steward braced himself and went to find the fifth miss.
Leng Wudi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked lightly, "What? Is there trouble?"
