    Chapter 13: Do You Not Want Me Anymore?

    Perhaps it was because this episode had exhausted his energy, Yun Yi remained listless and showed signs of insomnia even into the night.

    He was already fair-skinned, and the slightest dark circles under his eyes were quite noticeable.

    Yun Yi didn’t pay attention, only huddling on the sofa, holding a little picture book he’d bought online, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling faintly, with a cup of tea Jiang Qiu had brewed for him at his side.

    Yun Yi picked it up and took a sip, his face almost scrunched up.

    “Jiang Qiu, go change it.”

    Jiang Qiu, sitting on the carpet, studying with an exam paper in his hands, looked up at Yun Yi upon hearing this: “Yes, Young Master.”

    The tea was hot, freshly brewed, and not much had been drunk.

    Jiang Qiu didn’t understand what about the tea had displeased the young master, but he didn’t ask, and brewed another pot before bringing it back.

    Yun Yi didn’t even lift his head, tapping the table with his index finger, and Jiang Qiu poured the tea.

    “Young Master.”

    Yun Yi took it, and took a sniff.

    He nearly dropped the cup.

    “Is there no tea in the house?”

    “…There is.”

    “So awful, are you trying to fob me off?” Yun Yi lightly mocked, extending the hand holding the cup, “Drink it.”

    Jiang Qiu took it, looked at the side of the cup stained with water marks, gently put his lips to it, and drank it down without changing his expression, his lips turning red from the heat, yet he didn’t even furrow his brow.

    After drinking it, Jiang Qiu understood.

    The tea was indeed awful.

    But this tea was blended by He Yuetang, and it was better for the young master’s health.

    Yun Yi looked at Jiang Qiu’s flushed lips, and a bit more interest flickered in his eyes.

    He reached out, his fingertip touching Jiang Qiu’s lips.

    “Do you have no sense of taste?”

    He didn’t flinch drinking Chinese medicine, nor did he flinch drinking bitter tea.

    Yun Yi’s fingertip was cool, and its presence on his numb lips was strong.

    Jiang Qiu raised his eyes, his dark pupils looking at Yun Yi, his gaze unconsciously falling on the young master’s lips, opening and closing.

    “I do.”

    “Then drink it all.”

    Yun Yi placed the little picture book on the table, resting his chin in his palm, watching Jiang Qiu drink tea as if it was much more interesting than the picture book.

    Jiang Qiu poured a cup, but hesitated as he brought it to his lips, “Usually, when the Young Master drinks medicine, you drink one bowl, and I drink three.”

    Yun Yi chuckled: “Who’s the master here, you or me?”

    “You are.”

    “Then drink it.”

    Jiang Qiu drank three cups in a row, and with the fourth, he blew on the tea in the cup, and handed it to Yun Yi, “Young Master, the tea has cooled, you can drink it.”

    Yun Yi’s face darkened, “Get out.”

    “Young Master, I’ve finished mine, now it’s your turn.”

    Jiang Qiu had a stubborn and forceful way of feeding Yun Yi tea or medicine.

    Yun Yi gritted his teeth and coldly snorted: “Was it my father who ordered you to do this again?”

    “No, I wanted to feed Young Master.”

    Yun Yi was furious, reaching out to knock the teacup to the ground, “Jiang Qiu, how dare you!”

    Jiang Qiu refilled a cup, and said: “I apologize, Young Master, I’ve offended you.”

    Then he drank the tea in one gulp, leaned forward, one hand holding Yun Yi’s chin, his thumb prying open his teeth, and in the omega’s furious and shocked gaze, he kissed the lips he had longed for.

    The tea slowly entered, Jiang Qiu gently lifted Yun Yi’s chin, and the warm tea was swallowed completely.

    “Cough cough…”

    Yun Yi struggled too much, and choked on the last mouthful, and when the confinement disappeared, he coughed forcefully while holding onto the table.

    A pair of butterfly bones trembled on his thin back.

    Jiang Qiu smoothed Yun Yi’s back.

    After Yun Yi recovered, he lifted his foot and kicked the alpha in front of him, “Spit, spit, spit! Jiang, Jiang Qiu, you want to die!”

    Faced with disgust, the alpha’s eyes dimmed for a moment.

    He would rather the young master scold him, hit him, than be disgusted.

    Yun Yi’s eyes were red, it was unclear whether it was from coughing or anger, and the look he gave Jiang Qiu at this time was extremely cold, without any of the previous composure, and he took two deep breaths.

    “Jiang Qiu, get out.”

    Jiang Qiu was stunned, feeling that the young master’s tone was different from usual, his voice laced with chill.

    He looked up, and replied: “Yes, Young Master.”

    Just as he was about to leave, he heard a voice from behind: “Go back and tell Yun Chongshan, he doesn’t need to follow me anymore.”

    Jiang Qiu froze.

    “Do you not want me anymore?”

    Yun Yi didn’t speak, only looked at him coldly, his eyes as if he was looking at an object about to be discarded.

    This kind of expression made Jiang Qiu’s heart stop for a moment, he pursed his lips and walked closer to Yun Yi, “Young Master, I was wrong.”

    After a three-minute stalemate, Yun Yi suddenly threw the teapot out.

    “Get out!”

    “Young Master, you can beat me, you can punish me, I’ll accept it all.” Jiang Qiu didn’t move, his meaning obvious, he would rather die than leave Yun Yi.

    Yun Yi was extremely annoyed.

    He could still taste the other person’s saliva in his mouth, and just as he was about to get down barefoot, one hand grabbed his foot.

    The alpha knelt in front of him, his palm supporting his foot, his posture humble, “Young Master, there are shards on the ground.”

    Seeing that Yun Yi didn’t react, Jiang Qiu put on socks and shoes for Yun Yi on his own accord.

    Yun Yi looked at the person kneeling in front of him, and sneered in his heart.

    A good dog.

    But always wanting to turn around and bite its master.

    He didn’t want such a dog.

    Yun Yi walked to the table, opened a drawer and casually found a small object.

    “Come here.”

    Jiang Qiu breathed a slight sigh of relief, followed Yun Yi’s footsteps, left the front hall, and walked straight to the backyard, where the two stopped at a swimming pool.

    Yun Yi raised his wrist and tossed it away.

    The small pink diamond didn’t cause much of a splash, and disappeared in an instant.

    “Jiang Qiu, I’ll give you a chance, if you find it, I’ll pretend today’s events never happened.”

    Jiang Qiu looked at Yun Yi’s face.

    That handsome face was tense, and he looked like he was angry.

    Jiang Qiu knew that if the young master didn’t vent his anger today, he probably wouldn’t let him go back easily.

    Just as Yun Yi turned to leave, a “plop” came from the swimming pool, but he only paused slightly, and left without looking back.

    The swimming pool was not large, but it had been abandoned for many years, and a lot of moss had grown on the bottom of the pool, so if you wanted to find a diamond that was only one centimeter in size here, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

    What Yun Yi wanted was for Jiang Qiu to give up on his own.

    Perhaps, it wouldn’t be bad for the male lead of a book to drown in a swimming pool.

    There were many servants stopping to watch as Yun Yi went back, and when they saw him coming, they took back their gazes and went about their business.

    After he left, the discussions started again.

    “What is the young master doing?”

    “Who knows what trick he’s thinking of to punish the servants, do you still remember Yun Zhi, who used to serve the young master?”

    “I know, why hasn’t that child been seen recently?”

    The servant who spoke made a gesture on his neck, and a sound of gasping immediately rang out around him.

    Yun Yi walked slowly, so he could naturally hear it, he chuckled and ignored it.

    When he returned to his room, the mess inside had already been cleaned up, and the carpet had also been changed, making it impossible to tell what had happened before.

    It was near evening when Yun Yi finally remembered the person in the backyard pool.

    He stood by the window and took a look.

    From time to time, a black head would pop out of the green swimming pool, and quickly submerge back into the bottom of the pool, back and forth, without stopping for half an hour.

    Yun Yi’s eyes were mocking, and he muttered in a low voice for a long time: “Idiot.”

    Yun Yi was too lazy to go downstairs for dinner, so the servants brought it up, but he refused to eat after drinking half a bowl of porridge.

    The serving servant walked out tremblingly holding the bowl, and hurriedly said “Good night, Young Master” before closing the door and leaving.

    Night fell, and a touch of light was added to the swimming pool.

    Jiang Qiu was searching with a light, there was too much moss in the pool, and the things were too small, so he had to pry it open little by little to find it.

    It had been an afternoon, and there had been no progress.

    When his physical strength was exhausted, Jiang Qiu climbed ashore, lay by the pool, panting heavily, he turned his head to look at the room on the third floor.

    The lights were still on.

    Judging by the moonlight, it was probably already ten o’clock.

    The young master, who usually went to bed at nine o’clock, still hadn’t slept.

    Jiang Qiu touched his heart, looked at the window that was still lit, and found a trace of sweetness in the bitterness.

    And Yun Yi had been feeling restless from insomnia these days.

    Since he couldn’t sleep, he simply didn’t sleep, and lay on the bed reading a little picture book, but after reading for a long time, he didn’t even turn a few pages in half an hour.

    So he brought out the drawing board again.

    The body’s memory was still there, and in the end, he drew a slightly abstract cat.

    At two o’clock in the morning, Yun Yi yawned, didn’t get up, and lay down on the carpet next to him, curling up and sleeping.

    The lights on the third floor were not turned off all night.

    Jiang Qiu went into the water again, and finally exhausted his strength, and without changing his clothes, looking at the still-lit lights, the corners of his lips slowly curved, and he closed his eyes to sleep.

    In the afternoon of the next day, two men from the Wen family came, one was still young, and the other was about fifty years old, with a kind appearance and a smile on his face.

    “Hello, I am the Wen family’s butler, the young master arranged for me to pick up a person named Jiang Qiu.”

    The doorman was stunned, “Please wait, I’ll go tell the young master.”

    When Yun Yi heard the servant say this, he didn’t have much reaction, and said with drooping eyelids: “Go ahead, in the future, you don’t need to tell me about Jiang Qiu’s affairs anymore.”

    “Yes, Young Master.”

    The servant took the people to the backyard to find Jiang Qiu. At this time, Jiang Qiu was leaning against the rocks, gasping for breath, completely soaked.

    The young beta was surprised to see this and exclaimed: “Did he fall into the water?”

    The Yun family servant showed an indescribable expression, and explained in a low voice: “Probably… probably lost something in the swimming pool.”

    The alpha’s face was a little pale, his clothes clinging to his body, his chest and abdominal muscles were obvious, the beta blushed, muttering: “What is so important… to actually let an alpha go down and find it.”

    He walked forward, squatted down halfway, and said softly: “Hello, the Wen family sent me to pick you up, would you like to change your clothes and go back with us?”

    Jiang Qiu ignored him, stood up and walked straight to the pool, repeating the actions he had done n times before.

    After holding his breath for a few minutes at the bottom of the pool, he broke through the surface of the water, and after a few deep breaths, he submerged back into the bottom of the pool, over and over again.

    The beta’s face was a little ugly, “What does he mean? Does he think that the Wen family can’t even move him?”

    The Yun family servant said in a low voice: “The young master’s things are lost, if he can’t find it… he shouldn’t be able to come up.”

    The Wen family butler showed a surprised expression, “Isn’t he an alpha?”

    “Yes.”

    The Allied Nations were like this, alphas had the highest status, and even being a servant was superior, and this kind of chore of finding things would never be arranged for an alpha to do.

    But the Yun family would.

    The Yun family’s young master would.

    The Wen family butler looked at the person who kept showing his head and sinking back down, and understood in his heart, he tugged at Fang Kui’s hand, “Let’s go.”

    “Dad.” Fang Kui was unwilling, standing in place, stiffening, “The young master told us to take him back, are we going back empty-handed without picking up anyone?”

    The Wen butler gave him a warning look, and smiled at the Yun family servant: “Since he still has work to do, then we will visit again another day, I hope next time, Mr. Jiang will have time.”

    “I’ll see you off.”

    As he was leaving, Fang Kui looked back at the person in the water, and bit his teeth in anger.

    He was clearly an alpha, why was the Yun family bullying him so much!
