Wei Chengshu stepped into the house with his head almost splitting in pain, and his gloomy expression improved a little after seeing his pet dog.
“Mike.” He raised his hand and waved. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Mike looked a little listless today.
Wei Chengshu thought it was angry because he didn’t come back last night, so he rubbed it patiently. As he rubbed it, he suddenly found that there was a piece of hair missing on the side of the other’s head. He stretched out his fingers and rubbed it: “Why is it bald?”
Got a skin disease?
When Mike heard this question, he immediately started yelling, as if he had endless grievances that he wanted to express.
“Second Young Master.” Butler Zhou came out to greet him when he heard the commotion. When he saw him, he immediately stepped forward and said, “The eldest Young Master is back.”
Wei Chengshu nodded: “Where are the people?”
Housekeeper Zhou said: “The young master is upstairs, do you want me to call him?”
Wei Chengshu frowned and stared at the stairs. After a while, he plucked his hair irritably. He didn’t know why he was in a hurry to come back: “No need, get me something to eat. I have a headache after drinking.”
When the eldest son came back, the nanny of the Wei family was passive and only cooked some porridge. When the second son asked her, she was extremely attentive. The cooking aunt immediately agreed without waiting for housekeeper Zhou’s instructions. She rushed to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. But she was immediately dumbfounded: “Where’s the food?!”
The refrigerator was empty, and all the fruits and vegetables she had bought in the morning were gone. There was only a pile of crumpled plastic bags and empty sauce bottles on the shelf. She thought to herself that if she couldn’t make vegetables, she should stew some chicken soup, but when she opened the freezer, she found that the freezer was empty. Not to mention the raw chicken, even the frozen Jinhua ham had been unpacked and eaten.
Butler Zhou heard her scream and stepped forward to take a look. He immediately became anxious: “What did you do? You don’t even know how to prepare the food?”
The nanny was shocked and frightened, so she explained: “That’s not right, it was still there even in the morning…”
Butler Zhou came down and told her that when the young master wanted to have a meal, she even opened the refrigerator and took a look. It was clear that everything she wanted was there. At that time, she was too lazy to serve the young master and left the ingredients untouched. She only took out a salted duck egg. It was impossible to remember wrong.
Of course housekeeper Zhou didn’t believe it and reprimanded her for her usual laziness at work.
Wei Chengshu was confused when he got to know there was nothing to cook at home, but he was very hungry. It would obviously take time to order takeout at this time, so he had no choice but to rummage through the cabinets and find a pack of dusty instant noodles.
He had to drink instant noodle soup when he came home hungover. Wei Chengshu sat on the sofa that was scratched to pieces by Mike and felt extremely depressed. However, Mike was still very ignorant today, as if he was very hungry, and kept pulling at his bowl of noodles. When his claws were taken off, he stood next to the coffee table and started arguing with him at the top of his lungs.
He was so noisy that he couldn’t eat anymore, so he asked Butler Zhou: “Did you feed Mike today?”
After getting a positive answer, he still wanted to insist on not giving Mike extra food. After all, the dog was already fat enough. But Mike seemed very dissatisfied and even lost his temper and refused to be touched by him.
He had no choice, who told him to dote on him like this such that he was even reluctant to spank him. Wei Chengshu could only give in and take out a pack of biscuits for him.
However, coaxing his dog back did not make him look any happier. Wei Chengshu remained sullen, holding the bowl of noodles for a long time but unable to take a bite.
He was furious, but he didn’t know what he was angry about. When his elder brother was at home, he was just angry when he saw his submissive look every day, but when his elder brother ran away from home, he almost went crazy.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he put down his chopsticks with a snap. Hearing some noise coming from the stairs, he immediately stood up angrily. He was about to yell at him for even knowing how to come back, but when he saw him, he was almost stunned.
His eldest brother, who was usually always considerate and decent, was now wearing tattered clothes, looking strange and slovenly. He was even barefoot, carrying a hammer in his hand, and walked with a swagger, as if he owned the road.
Butler Zhou greeted him, and he just hummed indifferently. He didn’t even look at him when he passed by.
The road ahead was suddenly blocked by a young man with a gloomy face. Wei Xi almost subconsciously raised a hammer and hit the man on the head.
Fortunately, he instantly saw clearly that the other person’s face was related to the little unfortunate guy, so he resisted the urge. But he really had no patience for humans, so he just stared at the other person expressionlessly and asked, “What are you doing?”
Wei Chengshu stared desperately at his eldest brother’s disgraceful appearance: “What’s the matter with you?”
“What’s going on?” Wei Xi pushed him away, “Get out of the way, I still have things to do.”
Wei Chengshu was pushed away in a daze and watched helplessly as his eldest brother passed by with a hammer in his hand. He didn’t get the gentle greeting like before, and naturally he couldn’t leave with the same disdain after saying hello.
In his memory, Wei Xi was always smiling. No matter whether he smiled bitterly or smiled helplessly, he would never show off his impatience and indifference to others.
Although he knew from his mother’s phone call that the other party had changed now, and even dared to smash the phone of his father who did not dare to raise his voice when speaking in the past, but he always thought that it was just a short burst of intolerable silence, and he never expected the change to be so earth-shaking.
Could it be that the eldest brother’s forbearance over the years had hidden such a nature?
Housekeeper Zhou whispered: “Second Young Master, the eldest young master has been like this since he came back. It’s not directed at you. It’s probably because the past three months have been difficult to live outside and it’s been exciting.”
Wei Chengshu was stunned for a while, then suddenly took a few steps forward: “Why are you going?!”
Wei Xi felt that this little unlucky little brother really had a lot of problems, but he couldn’t eat anything, so he had to answer patiently: “I’ll go nail the sect’s sign at the door.”
He was actually very unhappy. He wanted to find a place on the hillside. Who knew that the rent and labor prices in Beijing would be so high? Then this free small house of the Wei family was the most suitable for him now.
Wei Chengshu, full of anger, was stunned by this answer, and his head was filled with question marks.
Butler Zhou had a wry smile on his face: “Second Young Master, the eldest young master just asked us to find axes and planks, saying that he wanted to open a sect called Taicang Sect at home.”
For the first time, Wei Chengshu felt that his IQ was not enough, and this was all a mess: “What do you mean? You want to run a business at home? Dad won’t agree.”
Wei Xi had divided this place into his own territory and ignored him: “Never mind his business, this will be my Taicang Sect’s cave from now on.”
Wei Chengshu almost lost his ability to think because of his elder brother’s dismissive tone when he mentioned his father. Suddenly he heard a dog barking and his husky ran into the corner of his eye.
Tuan Tuanyi was a little nervous due to the conflict just now, and couldn’t help but want to find a topic to talk about: “Master, the pack of biscuits you gave me is quite delicious, what brand is it?”
Wei Xi replied calmly: “I don’t know, Mike gave it to me.”
Tuan Tuanyi asked who Mike was. This name was quite foreign. He seemed to have heard it somewhere. Suddenly, he heard the cry of the man who had just quarreled with Master from behind: “Mike!”
He subconsciously looked back and saw a giant silver-gray dog that he had seen in the morning, running rapidly in his direction.
Wei Chengshu thought that his dog was going to bark like crazy in front of his elder brother again, and after the impact just now, he subconsciously wanted to stop it.
Unexpectedly, the dog son who had lost his temper with him just now rushed to Wei Xi, staggered to a stop, and then started to wag his tail crazily with small steps, and opened the shoe cabinet in the entrance hall. He even took out a pair of slippers and placed them with great precision at Wei Xi’s bare feet.
Wei Chengshu looked at his dog son who was usually too mentally retarded to cooperate even in shaking hands: “…”
Mike leaned down and stuck out his butt, wagging his tail until his whole butt was shaking wildly. Wei Xi lowered his head and stared at it indifferently for a while, and finally stretched out a hand like giving charity.
Mike, who had just made a fuss about not letting Wei Chengshu pet his hair, suddenly seemed to have received a great gift. His big head immediately pushed towards the palm of that hand. After pushing, the whole dog went crazy with joy and grinned on the spot. He was jumping around crazily with his tongue tilted, then suddenly thought of something, his body stopped as if the pause button was pressed, and he turned around and ran away.
Within two or three seconds, it came back like lightning, with a bag of food in its mouth, and offered it to Wei Xi in a flattering manner.
Wei Chengshu looked at the bag of dog biscuits he had just given out not long ago: “…………”
Wei Xi took it calmly and handed it to the side: “Here, didn’t you say it’s delicious?”
Tuanyi: “………………”
What sin have I done.
