Shao Hui was also worried, he wanted to go upstairs and see what was going on, but he was also worried about being a burden. After all, it hadn't been more than four hours, there was no need for him to worry like it had been more than four hours.
But then again Xie Jie was not someone who slept peacefully. He had never seen Xie Jie sleep for more than two hours before tossing awake. If not for all the supplements and beauty treatment, Shao Hui was certain that with his messed up sleep schedule, he would certainly look like a ghost.
Thus, it was not without cause that he and Yin Fu were worried about Xie Jie.
Yin Fu frowned upon hearing his response, and he thought for a while before saying, "We will wait for another half an hour and in case he doesn't come downstairs by then, then we will go upstairs and see.."
He trailed off when he heard the sound of footsteps echoing behind him. Yin Fu turned and saw Xie Jie coming down.
"Yo, the sleeping beauty finally woke up," Yin Fu said with an annoyed expression. "Here I thought that we would have to drag you down if you slept anymore."
Xie Jie glanced at Yin Fu and Shao Hui, the two of them were playing Electronic Go while sitting on the couch.
Neither of them seemed worried about anything.
'Did Mo Qiang not say anything to them?' Xie Jie thought with a frown on his face. He thought that by now Mo Qiang would have raised hell inside the house but it seemed like nothing like that happened.
He descended to the living room before asking, "Where is Ah Qiang? Is she not with you?"
"She went to the farm after lunch," replied Yin Fu as he made his move, causing the black keys to turn white. "She told me that she wanted to plant herbs today and check if there are new plants at the stall where we brought those lotus plants and whatnot."
"…Other than that, did she say anything?" Xie Jie asked nervously. He was waiting for Yin Fu and Shao Hui to turn and look at him with disgust in their eyes but the two of them were calm from start to finish.
Shao Hui even tilted his head to the side and replied, "No, she didn't say anything. Why what's wrong? You seem to be quite troubled Brother Jie."
Xie Jie stared at Shao Hui before raising his hand and ruffling his hair with his hand. "Nope. There is nothing that is troubling me." And even if he was to tell Shao Hui, he would never understand his pain.
What he could give him was sympathy but not empathy. After all, Shao Hui could get pregnant at any time—
Xie Jie paused and an ugly feeling rose in his heart. Now what, was he going to feel jealous of the two mers who have helped him throughout the time when he was suffering?
How could he be so despicable?
"Brother Jie?" Shao Hui tentatively called out as he looked at XieJie whose expression had worsened once again.
Xie Jie snapped out of his daze, he looked down at Shao Hui who seemed to be a bit confused and worried.
"It is alright," Xie Jie responded with a small smile. "I was just thinking about something." He paused and added, "Ah Hui, I am sorry."
Shao Hui: "…"
