Chapter 293: Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling’s Talk at Night

During the night, Jian Yiling suddenly woke up in the middle of her sleep. She had been awakened by a dream.

It was the same dream again. It was the third time that she had dreamt of that dream.

Jian Yiling pushed open the door of her Japanese-styled room and gazed at the Japanese courtyard.

The design of the courtyard was incredibly elegant. At this moment, the moonlight illuminated the entire courtyard.

In the courtyard, Jian Yiling saw Zhai Yunsheng. For some reason, he was also awake.

Jian Yiling walked over to Zhai Yunsheng.

When Zhai Yunsheng saw Jian Yiling in a kimono, he was quite surprised.

“Why aren’t you asleep either?” Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling.

“You told me not to be a rabbit. However, you’re trying to be one?” Jian Yiling replied in a low voice. She didn’t directly answer Zhai Yunsheng’s question. Instead, she accused him of being ‘lenient with himself and strict with others’.

Zhai Yunsheng laughed lightly before he replied: “Don’t you know that wolves hide by day and are out at night? They’re nocturnal.”

“I’ve never seen such a weak wolf,” Jian Yiling replied. She said it as it is.

“Are you calling me weak?” Zhai Yunsheng questioned. There was a dangerous light in his eyes.

“Mhmm,” Jian Yiling replied. She was not intimidated by Zhai Yunsheng’s aura at all.

Zhai Yunsheng found himself unable to argue with this little girl in front of him.

Hmmm... Fine. He’ll just be a very weak wolf then.

Then, Jian Yiling asked Zhai Yunsheng, “Why aren’t you asleep?”

Zhai Yunsheng’s eyes were fixated on the garden as he answered, “My parents came here before.”

This answer was unexpected.

It turned out there was a hidden reason behind why Zhai Yunsheng decided to come with them to the hot spring resort.

Jian Yiling looked at Zhai Yunsheng who was sitting down. The moonlight made her see the loneliness in his eyes that he had hidden away during the day.

“Don’t be sad.” Jian Yiling said quietly. She still didn’t know how to comfort people.

Zhai Yunsheng scoffed before he said: “Are you caring about me?”

The girl in front of him had always been honest. She even dared to call him weak. And thus, he knew that she would never lie to him. Even if she was concerned about him, she wouldn’t lie to him just to comfort him and make him feel better.

“Mhmm.”

This time, it was Jian Yiling’s answer that was unexpected.

Zhai Yunsheng turned his head around sharply to look at Jian Yiling.

The moonlight fell on her small pale face. He could see the expression on her face incredibly clearly.

This affirmative answer cast a small pebble in the lake of Zhai Yunsheng’s heart.

In his nineteen years of being alive, he had heard countless words of concern and comfort.

However, only this one was the simplest, most direct, and most sincere to him.

Most people cared about him because he was the only grandson of the Zhai family.

And the others cared about him because they were afraid that his death would bring them all sorts of trouble and disaster.

In the eyes of those people, he was not Zhai Yunsheng. He was just a ticking time bomb. A bomb that they feared and dreaded.

However, Jian Yiling was different. She was just simply concerned about him.

“Little girl, do you know that if you don’t go back to your room right now and sleep, you’ll actually become a rabbit.”

Jian Yiling looked at Zhai Yunsheng with confusion.

She didn’t quite understand the intentions behind his words.

“Hurry up and go back to your room,” Zhai Yunsheng urged.

“Then you should go back to your room too.”

Following this, she turned around and headed back to her room.

Zhai Yunsheng watched Jian Yiling enter her room and close her door.

Then, he got up and stood in the garden for quite some time.

For some strange reason, his mood felt much better.

The Jian family spent two days and one night at the hot spring resort. During that time, they soaked in the hot springs, ate good food, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Although there was still some occasional awkwardness, and although Jian Yunnao was unable to find any opportunity to make up to Jian Yiling for his actions, overall, it was still a good and happy time.
