Dou Wenqing’s weaknesses were unexpected, and his hobbies were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
He was usually a cold and solitary person, but because of his prosopagnosia[1], he didn’t remember people’s faces, and he didn’t talk much when it was not necessary.
But who knew, this person was not really as cold and mechanical as he appeared to be, he also had some annoying emotions. At this time, his habit of venting was linked to his ‘weakness’.
A table of dessert cakes with exquisite workmanship and cute colors would not be ugly or annoying even for people who didn’t like sweets, and it would be very pleasing to the eye for those who liked them.
Si Huang understood that following the experience of his previous life, he was once again being asked by Mr. Dou to become a tree hole. Not only did he want to listen to him talk and vent, but he also had to give him visual and physical enjoyment.
So there were only a few people in the world who could become Second Young Master Dou’s tree hole. Should she feel honored? Si Huang lazily ate the dessert one bite after another, killing her time with random thoughts. Recalling the first time she was asked by Mr. Dou to become a tree hole in her previous life, she didn’t know the man’s habits yet, so she dealt with it cautiously. As a result, he didn’t care about her response at all, and after he finished talking about it, he asked one sentence: Isn’t it tiring to be hunched over all the time?
Since then, Si Huang understood.
Second Young Master Dou was not afraid that she would know too much, and he did not need her to understand, as long as she remained as beautiful as a flower, harmless and cute, she could impress him, by just listening to what he said.
This… habit, whether she lived on thin ice in her previous life or now that she had a certain amount of capital, was very different from Second Young Master Dou’s usual image.
But just don’t be annoying.
It was unexpected, but at the same time, it was not surprising after contact.
This kind of Second Young Master Dou actually had a human touch and was not a truly heartless and cold machine.
If you think about it simply, in fact, it was just like saying a few words of criticism when feeding cute animals. Many people could do this kind of thing, but when it appeared on a deified person like Second Young Master Dou, it seemed a bit wrong. That’s all.
Si Huang thought to herself that if the ‘cute thing’ being fed was not her, she might be freer to watch the fun.
After the second young master opposite said “Idiot with a hole in his brain”, he went on to talk about the troubles at home. His uncle worried too much. The brothers and sisters loved to play tricks, but they couldn’t do it well, which was so annoying and so on.
“Pfft.” After hearing some parts, Si Huang felt that Second Young Master Dou’s psychological activities were so interesting that she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
In her previous life, she could remain calm, as she didn’t have the capital to make rash comments, so she kept everything she felt in her heart. This time she was still calm, but she was able to listen to the excitement with the equal status of the two young masters and reveal appropriate emotions.
Dou Wenqing, who was on the opposite side, stopped speaking for a moment.
Si Huang stirred a bowl of fruit with a spoon and said, “I didn’t expect the Second Young Master to be upset about such a thing.”
She responded, but she didn’t know what would be the reaction of the person who ‘takes out the trash’? Second Young Master Dou’s reaction was to pick up the water glass and take another sip, “You tell me.”
Si Huang was a little surprised by the response, “What they are fighting for is nothing more than money and power. People gathering in the capital have nothing else to do. If they are so idle that they want to die, send them outside or don’t let them be raised idly.” This was just a casual comment, and regardless of whether Second Young Master Dou followed it or not, Si Huang remembered the hamster that she had raised for free and who was making a fuss in her pocket. She took it out and put it on the table, nodded Five Treasure’s forehead and said with a smile: “Eat as you like.”
Five Treasure hugged her fingers with his paws and took a bite, then swaggered towards the table full of exquisite desserts.
Second Young Master Dou on the opposite side was stunned, “…your pet?”
[How can a pet, such a humble status be used to describe the Five Treasures Master!] Five Treasure, who was lying on the edge of a small glass bowl licking ice cream balls, raised his head cautiously, “Squeak!”
Si Huang’s words changed, “My number one minister.”
These words hit Five Treasure’s cool point, it puffed up its chest with joy and continued to fight the ice cream ball.
“…” Maybe this sentence also touched the cute spot of Second Young Master Dou. She didn’t know what he was thinking about, but the corners of his mouth raised in an arc, and he let out a clear low laugh. She could even vaguely hear him murmuring and sighing, “A cat caught a mouse and made him a minister…”
Si Huang raised her eyebrows. Sometimes her hearing was too good and she could always hear things she didn’t want to overhear.
Then she stopped answering, put down the silver spoon in her hand, supported her chin on the table pestle with one hand, and used the other to tease Five Treasure.
“You only eat this little?” Second Young Master Dou asked.
Why did he take the initiative to talk to her? Si Huang raised her eyelids, “If you eat too much sweet food at one time, you will get tired of it.”
Second Young Master Dou nodded and glanced at Five Treasure, whose head was already buried in the ice cream ball, “Hamsters will die if they eat these.”
“This one won’t.”
“It has a name?”
“Five treasure.”
The two of them chatted for a while. When the waiter in the tuxedo came over again, he removed the desserts on the table with Si Huang’s consent and replaced them with new ones, and then said: “All the guests’ orders are here.”
Second Young Master Dou asked for a pot of cold water.
The waiter in the tuxedo had become accustomed to his weird requests. He turned around and left within two minutes before bringing a glass bottle of cold water. He filled his glass first and then placed it on the table. He left again so as not to disturb the two of them while they were dining.
Second Young Master Dou looked at Si Huang and opened his lips. He saw that she was paying attention to her hamster, with her face lowered. Under the romantic starlight in the glass restaurant, her skin was as white as white porcelain, as if there was a stream of light reflected on it. The flowing black hair was casually pulled back, with a few strands still hanging down in front of the forehead, setting off her relaxed eyebrows. The lazy posture exuded nobility, making people feel that he was as elegant as a painting, like a noble man who had come out of an ancient oil painting with pride inherent in him since birth.
The instructions in his throat disappeared naturally, he just stood up, picked up the glass bottle and poured some cold water into her cup.
Si Huang noticed the movement and looked over alertly. She was really surprised to see the second young master taking the initiative to serve her.
Her pair of eyes were fully opened, so bright that she couldn’t hide her surprise, making her look more in line with her innocent age of seventeen. Young Master Dou’s eyes flashed, and he felt unexpectedly calm. He didn’t feel that the proactive service this time was cheap, so he put down the glass bottle and sat back, “Drink some water if you get tired of it.” Drinking boiled water in this environment was still okay, so Second Young Master Dou should really do less. Si Huang laughed dumbly, picked up the water glass and was about to take a few sips when she heard the beep of her cell phone.
“Sorry.” Si Huang put down the water glass and took out the mobile phone from her pocket.
Originally she wanted to politely turn off the ring switch of her phone, but she happened to see the phone lock prompt that popped up. It turned out to be a private message from someone in Weibo that had not appeared in a long time.
Si Huang: “…” Curiosity aroused people.
She looked up at Dou Wenqing, who was silent across from her, smiled slightly, and asked for forgiveness. Then, without giving Dou Wenqing time to refuse, she lowered her head to unlock the phone, and the interface switched to Weibo.
It was the first time that Second Young Master Dou was ignored like this. The reason for doing so was because he was looking at his cell phone. This was not only a matter of lack of politeness, but also a lack of face for him! His eyes became a little colder. He tapped his fingers on the table lightly, his eyes lingering on Si Huang. After a few seconds, his fingers stopped in mid-air. His anger did not rise over time but disappeared.
He looked at Si Huang and thought to himself: He has never seen anyone who can be so naturally willful that he is not annoying.
At this time, Si Huang didn’t know that she had already been on Second Young Master’s blacklist. She clicked on Weibo’s private message and saw the long-lost fan account ‘Indus tree waiting for you to perch V’, which made her feel subtle.
Indus tree waiting for you to perch V: Dad, how are you doing recently? {Curiosity dynamic emoticon}
If it were someone else who saw a fan with whom they had a good chat disappear for a few months without any reason, and then suddenly reappear without any explanation, they probably won’t pay attention to this person anymore, thinking that he was not a true fan.
But for Si Huang, who already knew who he was, she could glean a lot of interesting points from this private message.
Qin Fan didn’t send good messages or make phone calls. What did it mean to let this Weibo account come back to the world? What was he doing? If he wanted to ask about her whereabouts, he could just ask her. He didn’t need to beat around the bush.
Si Huang curled up his lips and gave a bad smile. Then she turned on the camera function of her phone, took a picture of the table full of exquisite desserts, and replied to this private message.
