Chapter 177 Observing the Original 2
Wei Chaoyan and her companions finished their breakfast slowly and deliberately in the cafeteria. By the time they were wiping their mouths with handkerchiefs in a leisurely and elegant manner, the other diners in the cafeteria had already left.
Wei Ying was the first to put down his handkerchief. His peach blossom eyes quickly scanned the empty surroundings, his pupils darting around before he suddenly arched his eyebrows, leaned forward, and whispered to Wei Chaoyan, who was sipping a cup of hot milk, "Sister, sister, can you now give me a hint about why you asked for a day off for us? Just tell me a little bit, okay?"
Wei Ying carefully extended two fingers to demonstrate the exact length, trying to prove that the "tiny bit" he mentioned was exactly this tiny bit.
Looking at the bright, smiling face so close to hers, Wei Chaoyan's eyes flashed with a complex and fleeting sadness. She then reached out and gently pinched the tip of his straight, delicate nose, and said seriously, "No rush. This matter is a bit complicated, concerning the privacy of you all, and it's not appropriate to announce it in public. Let's go to Shensi Pavilion (a fully equipped and highly private meeting room for private meetings within the space). Your sister has already prepared everything there."
Wei Chaoyan's mysterious and aloof attitude has piqued the curiosity of her younger brothers, including Wei Ying. Wei Ying and Qingyan, their curiosity at its peak, didn't bother to protest their sister's cryptic behavior. Instead, they grabbed Lan Zhan and Qi Ye, who were tidying up the tableware, and abruptly ran towards Shensi Pavilion.
The words, "Sister, we'll be going now," still lingered in the air, before the figure vanished in the blink of an eye.
Wei Chaoyan looked down at the five sets of tableware that had not been put away on the table, then looked up at the figures that were gradually becoming blurry silhouettes in the distance, and could vaguely hear a few whispered words floating in the distance.
"Wei Ying, the tableware has not been put back in its place."
"Oh, it's alright! My sister's there, she'll take care of it..."
"Qingyan, why are you being so naughty, just like Brother Aying? You've thrown all the bowls and chopsticks at your older sister. Be careful, or she'll punish you two brothers who are causing her trouble!"
"Oh? Isn't this just like Brother Aying... Anyway, if Sister wants to deal with something, she'll go to Brother Aying first, so I'm not afraid!"
"Heh, Xiao Qingyan, you've gone bad! You've actually started tricking your brother! Let me teach you a lesson first..."
……
Hearing the laughter and playful chatter drifting into her ears, Wei Chaoyan remained speechless for a long time. Knowing that her younger brothers were retaliating for her earlier act of mystery, she had no choice but to lower her head and admit defeat. She diligently and quickly cleared away the leftover food on the table, putting all the bowls and chopsticks back in the corner of the cafeteria's dish recycling area before washing her greasy hands at the sink. Then she hurried towards Shensi Pavilion.
Before long, Wei Chaoyan, who had rushed over to the door of the Bamboo Snow Room on the second floor of Shensi Pavilion, entered with slightly rapid breathing. She closed the door behind her and looked up. Wow! Lan Zhan and Qi Ye were sitting upright and prim and proper on either side of a bamboo-green jade table in the center of the room. Wei Ying and Qingyan, the two mischievous monkeys, couldn't contain themselves and instead of sitting obediently and waiting for her, they wandered around the room, trying to find the secret she had hidden inside.
Even though Wei Chaoyan was currently in a heavy and complicated mood, she was amused and annoyed by their impatient behavior for a moment. She subconsciously rolled her eyes and walked towards the empty seat, reminding them in an annoyed tone, "Stop looking! The thing isn't in this Bamboo Snow Room!"
"Ah?!"┐(￣ヘ￣)┌
Wei Ying and Qingyan, having wasted their time, froze for a moment before nonchalantly returning to their seats. They then rested their chins on their hands and, in a drawn-out, coquettish tone, cried out in unison, "Good sister…!" / "Sister~~~!"
Wei Chaoyan:
Wei Chaoyan strolled to the main seat in the Bamboo Snow Room, reached out and tugged at a silver-blue fish-belly white tassel hanging from the wall decoration behind it. A moment later, two crisp knocks came from outside the door.
Under the intense, resentful gazes of Wei Ying and Qingyan, which seemed to say, "You stinky older sister! You actually fooled me!" Wei Chaoyan calmly stepped forward to open the door, casually took the thick file bag from the person who came in, nodded her thanks, and closed the door. Then she turned around and glanced at the four people in front of her with a deep and inexplicable look. Her ominous gaze lingered on Wei Ying and Qi Ye for a few more breaths, which made the two of them startled. Their scalps tingled instantly, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.
