During the period when Tang Ling was recuperating in the Imperial Garden, Shi Sheng came to change his dressing every day. The two people, who were not familiar with each other, talked about Yun Xiao's life abroad during those days.

Tang Ling had never thought about asking about Yun Xiao's past with Shi Sheng before. If it hadn't been for Shi Sheng mentioning that they had studied at an academy, he would have never remembered.

However, Shi Sheng didn't say much, except for the daily study and meeting they did, and that Yun Xiao lived with Lu Mintang in private.

By the time the bush of tulips had bloomed, it was two days before Tang Ling was able to walk. Near the bush was an extra bench made of white copper. Resting here during the day will be a bit hot, but in the evening when the moon is rushing high. Tang Ling felt the evening breeze is blowing on his face, with bursts of floral fragrance. For him, it was particularly pleasant.

Fortunately, Honghu Port hadn't been busy for a while, so brother Hu told him to rest for a few more days.

Tang Ling was wearing a gray blanket and was staring his phone whilst placing an order for vegetable meat on the bench. Shi Sheng left after changing the medicine just then.

He didn't reply to the message sent by Shen Yuancong a few days ago and instead deleted their entire conversation. Yun Xiao didn't want him to contact Shen Yuancong, so Tang Ling just cut it off.

He leaned on the edge of the chair quietly, with long and narrow peach eyes looking at the main gate of the imperial garden. He always thought that Yun Xiao would appear from there and come back to see him.

The cell phone was ringing in the room, it was Hu's special call ringtone.

Tang Ling got up and took out his mobile phone from the drawer of the room. Normally, he would set the mute function. But because Yun Xiao and Xiang Chen hadn't come over for a while, he didn't bother to it on.

He just picked up the phone, and the sound of the harbour whistle mixed with the noise of the personnel came into his ears.

"Jiang Ming, brothers from Honghu Port are gathering at Scarlet ONE at night, how are you doing? Can you come at night?" Brother Hu asked with a strong voice on the other side of the phone.

Tang Ling believed that his body was almost healed, so he responded.

"Yes, is it around eight o'clock in the evening? Room number 0522, so I know."

After hanging up the phone, he heard a voice outside, thinking it was the food delivery person.

When he went out to see, the man who brought the food was not someone else, but the Yun Xiao he had been thinking about these days.

Why did he come back suddenly?

He saw Yun Xiao stepping forward quickly. His dark pupils had focal lengths, reflecting his face, but his eyes were full of deep meaning.

An invisible sense of oppression prompted Tang Ling to take two steps back.

It may be that he was aware of his timidity, and a deep chill flashed in Yun Xiao's eyes, and it disappeared just as fast as it came.

He lifted the eco-bag full of vegetables, stuffed it directly into his arms and asked, "You can cook?"

Tang Ling hugged the bag and nodded abruptly.

It was not that Yu Xiao doesn't hire chefs, but he liked to be quiet and was keen to do everything by himself. Therefore, people will be sent to clean the imperial garden when there is no one.

"When it is ready, call me." Yun Xiao said and went to the study room upstairs.

"Ok."

Tang Ling looked at the direction Yun Xiao was going up, suppressing the little chuckle in his heart. Even the way to the kitchen became easier.

In less than two hours, four dishes and one soup were placed on the table. Although it was not a lobster king crab, the home-cooked dishes were also salivating.

He reached the study on the second floor, the door was not closed tightly, half covering the gap.

Tang Ling knocked on the door and did not hear Yun Xiao's response. He opened the door slightly to see Yun Xiao leaning back on the soft seat next to the desk.

"Yun Xiao?" He whispered.

Yun Xiao seemed to have fallen asleep, his thin lips pressed lightly. His lowered eyelids had a faint blue color, and he looked very tired.

Tang Ling just stood beside him quietly. He started to feel a bit greedy and felt that they were starting to get closer.

He recalled that Gao Yiyun Xiao had a fight with his classmate for some reason, and the other party was seriously injured, but he was only beaten up with a nosebleed. In the infirmary, Yun Xiao borrowed his thigh and fell asleep like this.

At that time, Yun Xiao's hair was longer than it is now, and strands of hair drifted away with the wind when he started running. He liked Yun Xiao who was so free and had a lot more smiles.

Tang Ling watched Yun Xiao fall into memory and did not notice that the person who had fallen asleep woke up early, his eyes slightly opened.

"Don't look at me like that." Yun Xiao lifted his thin lips, interrupting Tang Ling's thoughts.

He suddenly shook his head, "Sorry, the food is ready."

Yun Xiao's eyebrows were mixed with displeasure, as if to warn him that he was getting more and more awkward.
