This lunch with extremely complicated characters took a long time to end.

Shen Mingye was feeling sleepy after lunch so couldn’t help covering his mouth and letting out a small yawn.

Ahaz stared at the young man’s tiny tiger teeth and stepped forward, asking him in a butler’s tone if he was going to take a nap.

“No, I’m not sleepy yet.” The young man obviously wanted to stay with Feng Fei Ming for some more time. Even though he couldn’t resist yawning again, he still held on.

Seeing Feng Fei Ming come over and ask warmly because of Shen Mingye’s yawning, jealousy surged in Yoder’s heart. He eventually couldn’t resist taking out his gift in advance to gain Feng Fei Ming’s attention.

“Feng, some time ago I asked a friend to bring some tea from C country. Would you like to try it?”

Yoder knew that Feng Fei Ming was very fond of these things, and as expected, Feng Fei Ming immediately looked at him when he heard the words.

Yoder smiled and took out a small box with an auspicious cloud pattern that Feng Fei Ming liked.

“Looks like you are not too busy after all. Otherwise, how can you still have the thought of looking for these things.” Feng Fei Ming’s tone was teasing but obviously extremely pleased because of Yoder’s attentiveness.

“No matter how busy I am, I remember your preferences.” Yoder’s gaze burned at Feng Fei Ming. Perhaps Shen Mingye’s presence really worked, as Yoder’s appreciation for Feng Fei Ming was no longer just between simple friends.

Seeing that the atmosphere between these two was getting better, Qing Yun could not help but yawn again. If these two people get together, his mission in this world can be considered a failure.

Yoder said to Feng Fei Ming, “Robot butlers are equipped with the program of tea art. Although it is rigid with no mood, it is better than nothing. So let K perform it?”

“K, go and bring the tea set.” Feng Fei Ming nodded and ordered towards Ahaz.

Ahaz’s mood darkened again. He could take care of Shen Mingye without any problems, but he couldn’t stand Feng Fei Ming’s orders. However, the robot’s body had moved on its own.

At this time, Shen Mingye’s voice interjected: “I’ll do it, I seem to know a little bit of tea art.”

Hearing this, the three present all turned their eyes to Shen Mingye. Feng Fei Ming’s always gentle voice brought a cold tone: “Mingye, don’t make a scene. Yoder worked hard to find the tea, so let’s not waste it.”

It is not surprising that Feng Fei Ming did not believe him. In this era of extreme technological development, many classical arts withered. Not to mention the tea art, natural tea leaves are also rare. This is also why Yoder brought a small box of tea leaves, allowing Feng Fei Ming to feel his heart.

Robots can simulate the skills of tea art, but they cannot perform the most attractive feeling. Nowadays, the few tea masters are all in C Country. Shen Mingye was born and raised in E Country, so where could he learn about the art of tea?

Just the technique of making and serving tea alone, how can this pampered teenager do it?

“I really can……” The young man lowered his head because of Feng Fei Ming’s refusal.

Feng Fei Ming’s fingers knocking on the desktop stiffened. These days, Shen Mingye has been looking at him with a bright, charming gaze. Now, after seeing the teenager’s dim eyes for the first time, Feng Fei Ming is a bit unaccustomed to it.

He has been overly doting on Shen Mingye in front of Yoder these days, so is it bad to refuse him like this now? Feng Fei Ming’s heart wavered in a rare moment.

Yoder said, “If he wants to do it, let him try. It’s just some tea. It’s not that precious.”

Yoder did not look at Shen Mingye’s eyes as he held his glass of wine but turned to the window. Letting Feng Fei Ming see the child’s capriciousness was just right. Perhaps Feng Fei Ming himself did not notice, but Yoder could see clearly that Feng Fei Ming was becoming more and more gentle to Shen Mingye these days.

Ahaz has already brought the tea set. Qing Yun gave it a fussy look, but he still reached out to take it, although he disliked it.

As soon as the young man took the tea set, his aura was suddenly calmed down. The sunlight outside the window sprinkled on him, which was warm and unrestrained.

Although he is a mixed-race face and is sitting in such a European-style dining room, Shen Mingye’s every move, accompanied by a clear tea flowing between the cups, ultimately attracted their attention.

They sat in the richly colored dining room, but it was as if they were seeing emerald bamboo and ethereal clouds. The faint fragrance of tea was accompanied by a breeze that blew away the distracting thoughts and desires in everyone’s mind, allowing them to only gaze at Shen Mingye’s glistening white fingers.

He did not confine himself to the steps of each movement, and his etiquette was more casual. Still, it was because of this movement that he brought a sense of flowing elegance.

When the cup of fragrant tea was placed in front of them, Yoder and Feng Fei Ming came back to their senses and looked at the boy’s serene face.

After sipping a bit of tea from the cup, the dining room was quiet for a while before Feng Fei Ming opened his mouth to break the momentary indulging silence. He looked at Shen Mingye with a complicated gaze, “When did you……learn this?”

“No…I didn’t deliberately learn, just recently prepared a script related to C country. You said before that you liked it, but I really didn’t spend much time……”

Seeing that Feng Fei Ming asked a question, the young man changed from his calmness when making tea and becoming overwhelmed. His speech was also incoherent, saying at one moment that he learned it when preparing the script and at another moment emphasizing that he had not learned it for too long.

The truth that he was trying to conceal was evident to everyone.

Although Shen Mingye’s movements were not as standard as a robot’s, they were incomparably skilled. They were definitely not practiced in a short time. Besides, the art of tea is something that if one does not take the trouble to experience, how could it be possible to get all of them to indulge in it in a single move?

Moreover, no one understands better than Feng Fei Ming what Shen Mingye has been doing recently. He has not prepared a script with a C country background, and he has not practiced the art of tea recently.

The only possibility is that when Feng Fei Ming mentioned his love of tea art to Shen Mingye as a child, the boy took it to heart and bothered to practice but was too embarrassed to tell others that he had done it for so many years and was too shy to perform it.

If not for this time that Yoder brought precious tea by chance and also happened to be seen by Shen Mingye, perhaps Feng Fei Ming would never know in his life that someone actually made such an effort because of his words.

The youth lowered his head because of the gaze of the two people on the table. The tips of his ears exposed on both sides were red and flushed.

Qing Yun’s eyes were very calm. He chose to perform the tea ceremony because Shen Mingye had really practiced and learned it. He had spent a considerable amount of effort to learn the rhythm of tea as a person who grew up with a Western education.

Unfortunately, in the world’s original direction, this shy guy had not been able to perform it for Feng Fei Ming.

Yoder looked deeply at the teenager on the side, who had his head lowered almost into a ball. To be honest, although Yoder was jealous because of the way Feng Fei Ming treated Shen Mingye, he really didn’t consider this weak little guy as a rival.

Because he was much stronger than Shen Mingye and could do a lot more for Feng Fei Ming.

However, Yoder did not expect that Shen Mingye, a little thing that was incredibly weak in his heart, would be able to go this far for Feng Fei Ming. Learning a nearly lost art from halfway across the world is not an easy task.

And the teenager had covered up his efforts until now.

Yoder could understand him perfectly. It was just like how he had gone to great lengths to find natural tea that was native to C country but acted in front of Feng Fei Ming as if it was easy. Everyone wants to appear like they are capable in front of the person they like.

The young man’s head was lowered, and Yoder could not see his eyes, but he could imagine how warm and how soft his gaze should be.

Yoder never thought he would really see such genuine emotions one day, and it was in his opponent.

“You……had remembered all along what I said at that time?” Feng Fei Ming quietly looked at Shen Mingye.

That time refers to when he first came here. To please his aunt, Feng Fei Ming deliberately pleased Shen Mingye and gave him many seemingly genuine words.

The top of the young man’s fluffy hair gently swayed a couple of times.

Feng Fei Ming partially lowered his eyes, covering the blankness in them.

His childhood experience has been too sad. When he was very young, he also had a good family, and a group of relatives like the stars supported his parents. But once the accident happened, the group of relatives who were initially pleasant and harmonious were like blood-sucking evil spirits who robbed his family of all its assets and even used tricks to rob Feng Fei Ming of his rightful inheritance. After that, Feng Fei Ming became a complete drag, like a ball being kicked around, and eventually kicked halfway across the world to his distant aunt’s house, which he had never heard of.

From then on, Feng Fei Ming made up his mind that emotions are false and that money and power are the most useful things.

So he took advantage of the situation and robbed the Patterson family without hesitation. He didn’t feel any guilt towards Shen Mingye. Feng Fei Ming even thought he should thank himself because without him, there would be others in power, and then Shen Ming Ye’s life would not be as good as it is now.

But Feng Fei Ming could never have imagined that after so many years, he could still feel a kind of warmth and throbbing that he had almost forgotten and that it would come from this teenager whom he had robbed of everything.

He actually…..really kept in mind what he said and kept……quietly……loving him all this time.

It’s ridiculous.

The entire room was in silence. The silent robot butler looked at Shen Mingye at the table in a daze.

If someone looks carefully, they should be able to see a deep shock in the robot butler’s electronic eyes.

In fact, the most shocked among the people present was none other than Ahaz. Because he actually saw the shadow of the man on his painting in the body of Shen Mingye, a mixed-race youth.

The two did not have any similarity in appearance. They even showed a very different temperament, but Ahaz felt the resemblance, and his heart rose with a “finally found him” excitement.

When the young man poured tea, a hint of his unique aura faintly enveloped in the entire space and was keenly captured by Ahaz.

In the past, when he was at home, Ahaz would spend his time in the studio every day even when he was not painting, or else he would be so agitated that he would seem like he had lost the goal he was pursuing.

But now, it’s been almost more than 24 hours since Ahaz entered the robot’s body, but Ahaz has not had a single reminder of that painted scene. Because here, he could always follow the young man’s figure and keep him in his line of sight.

Ahaz, who was bitter about his current situation, even had a sense of gratitude that he had this opportunity to touch the youth and that Feng Fei Ming had even given this robot the order to keep a watchful eye on Shen Mingye.

In this way, Ahaz could always watch him, follow him, and no longer have to endure the anxiety and pain that comes with the loss of him.

Yoder did not stay long. He gave Shen Mingye a deep look when he said goodbye, and the contempt in his eyes finally disappeared. Because whether the teenager is weak or not, he is equal to him when it comes to love.

“The matter of the marriage contract……I will try again to get a reaction from my father. Although the marriage contract is already not valid since you don’t recognize it, it would still be a little better for both families to make a statement at the same time.”

Yoder’s words immediately woke up Ahaz, who was staring at Shen Mingye closely.

Damn it! He’d forgotten that the engagement was only unwanted by Shen Mingye. Now that he was trapped in this robot’s body, who would Yoder call to break the engagement?

Ahaz rarely has regrets, but now he regrets it so much that he wants to strangle himself for refusing Yoder’s request to break the engagement before……

Yoder looked at how the other’s eyes brightened for a moment because of his words and even smiled towards him for the first time. There was something inexplicably unpleasant in his heart.

Just the mere thought of breaking off the engagement with me makes you so happy?

After Yoder left, Shen Mingye’s mood stayed the same. He was clearly relieved by the hope of perfectly settling the marriage contract issue that had been bothering him for a long time. After all, his unilateral and capricious non-recognition was likely to bring discord between the two families. Still, it would be a different story if Yoder could persuade the Elmond family to accept it.

But Shen Mingye’s happiness did not last into the evening because Feng Fei Ming took a phone call and had to leave again.

“Can’t……you stay at home tonight?” Shen Mingye tugged the sleeve of Feng Fei Ming, who wanted to leave.

Feng Fei Ming was obviously more gentle with Shen Mingye because of what happened after lunch. Still, he was only soft-hearted for a moment, not to the point of pushing away work for Shen Mingye.

“Sorry, there are some problems at the moment.” Feng Fei Ming eventually took his jacket and left, but when he was leaving, he turned his head to look at the person behind him and left a message after a pause, “In the evening, I should be able to come back.”

This uncertain statement alone appeased the young man.

Shen Mingye sent him out the door and waved at him on his tiptoes by the end: “Be careful on the road! Early……come back early!”

The youth’s sweet gesture made Ahaz’s heart sour, making his eyes grew darker as he looked at the rear of Feng Fei Ming’s hovercar.

This man will definitely not come back tonight because Ahaz saw clearly that after what happened today at noon, though the young man’s sincerity made Feng Fei Ming’s attitude towards him became a little bit milder, it also made Feng Fei Ming’s inner darkness have nowhere to hide.

Therefore, Feng Fei Ming resorted to evasion.

Ahaz gritted his teeth. Since he had already decided to escape, why did he give the youth hope then? Does he not know that just because of his ambiguous words, with Shen Mingye’s nature, he can wait until late at night!

“K, let’s follow the plan to set up the living room! Fei Ming said he would come back.” Shen Mingye turned around and smiled towards Ahaz.

Ahaz bowed down and said, “As you wish.”

Despite these words, Ahaz stopped the youth from coming forward to help. It was his birthday, so how could he be bothered to do the preparation himself?

Ahaz lowered his head to cover the emotions in his eyes. Shen Mingye was looking forward to this, so how could he be willing to say the truth to sweep him off his feet? At the same time, Ahaz could barely hold back the storm in his heart. His boy……how did he fall for Feng Fei Ming, a heartless and despicable bastard?

Qing Yun meant to be busy for a while to let the camera on butler K capture it, and after that, he sat on the sofa eating fruit and directing Ahaz as he worked.

He kept examining the robot that was busy with his orders with a scrutinizing gaze. Who was this person?

It was definitely not the original butler K because, in K’s program, there was only one master, Feng Fei Ming. Feng Fei Ming didn’t even give Shen Mingye a second authority. The routine of the butler K taking care of Shen Mingye was only an order from Feng Fei Ming.

In other words, the ordinary butler K would never say words that “obey orders” to Shen Mingye.

So there is unmistakably someone else controlling this robot’s body right now.

Is it Yoder? Yoder could not do this with such calmness.

In the evening, the thing that Ahaz feared most happened.

The dinner was prepared, and the living room was painstakingly decorated in Oriental style, but Feng Fei Ming never returned.

“Dinner? Young master?” Ahaz looked at the time and approached Shen Mingye, who was sitting in the living room reading a book while waiting for Feng Fei Ming

Unsurprisingly for Ahaz, the other smiled and shook his head at him, saying, “Fei Ming said he’d be back tonight, I couldn’t not wait for him, plus this is our surprise for him.”

Ahaz was practically roaring with rage in his heart. It is your birthday, why do you want to surprise him?

But how grumpy he was in his heart, how gentle he looked at the teenager. His love should not be trampled on like this but should be held in the palm of one’s hand and cared for.

Ahaz now especially wants to return to his body and immediately come to this cold place to take the young man away and give him the most unconditional pampering in the Elmond house. He would never have to worry about others and can feel free to follow his dreams.

""

But……

Looking at the young man occasionally glancing at the door, Ahaz’s heart suddenly ached.

Even if he had the opportunity to take the young man and what is the use? Shen Mingye is deeply in love with Feng Fei Ming. What’s even more frightening is that Feng Fei Ming is making the illusion of liking him back in the teenager’s heart. So how can Shen Mingye, who is already drowning in love, get out of it?

And knowing his identity, what would Shen Mingye think of the courtship from someone who could almost be called his “elder”?

Ahaz’s entire being was dispirited at the thought of this.

But this night, Ahaz was destined not to wallow in his emotions. Feng Fei Ming never returned, and Shen Mingye waited until the meal had all gone cold until the moon slowly rose into the sky.

The youth had finished reading two books in the dim light of the living room. The glow in his eyes, which looked out the door from time to time, had slowly faded, and in the end, only the slightest wisp of worry remained.

But no matter how Ahaz persuaded him to eat, the youth has always refused.

Finally, Shen Mingye closed the book in his hand, and he turned his head to look at Ahaz and said, “K…… do you want to give Fei Ming a call? He wouldn’t have had an accident on the road, right?”

Ahaz, who initially thought Shen Mingye has finally decided to eat, sighed helplessly in his heart when he heard the young man’s words and obliged to contact Feng Fei Ming.

He should be glad that Feng Fei Ming gave the butler K the power to contact him to monitor whether Shen Mingye had made some dangerous moves to seize power at home.

Ahaz dialed Feng Fei Ming’s number, and the person who answered the phone was his secretary.

The secretary told Ahaz in a sweet voice, “The boss and Mr. Yoder went to Aquamarine Bay to watch the annual Blue Moon. Is there an important matter?”

Hearing the secretary’s words, Ahaz felt cold in his hands and feet, and it was fortunate that he did not put this matter out. Otherwise, the young man who had been watching him from behind would know that the person he was longing for ran off to go on a date with someone else when he had clearly promised him. Then, what would happen to Shen Mingye by now?

Ahaz was silent for several seconds before he could control his emotions. He lied to Shen Mingye, “The master had some temporary problems at work and couldn’t leave.”

Shen Mingye, who had been watching Ahaz on the phone, finally sighed with relief and smiled, “It’s good that he’s okay.”

Ahaz just wanted to use this to let the young man finish his dinner early and go to bed, but the youth’s next words were, “Then, Fei Ming should come back when he’s done, I’ll wait a little longer.”

It was already midnight, and the coolness gradually penetrated every corner of the house. The young man was unprepared and sneezed.

Ahaz immediately took a blanket and put it on the boy, moving gently while he turned up the air-conditioning temperature in the house a bit.

Qing Yun held the soft, thin blanket on his shoulder, slightly dazed.

Of course, he could guess that Feng Fei Ming is probably dating Yoder at this moment. This man lacks in love, but he does not value the true feelings of others. Even for Yoder, he is not completely sincere.

But Shen Mingye doesn’t know, so he still has to pretend. However, he was surprised that butler K could tell him such a “well-intentioned lie”.

He looked at Ahaz, who was expressionless behind him but appeared surprisingly gentle with his eyes, and a guess suddenly came to his mind.

Qing Yun instantly reached out his hand and pressed on the man’s waist. Pressing the mechanical tissue under the skin, he realized that this is just a robot with no acupuncture points to speak of.

Just after withdrawing his hand, Qing Yun sneezed again. This time after he finished, he was actually a little confused because it wasn’t him pretending……

Ahaz looked at the person, who sneezed again, draped in a blanket. The confused little eyes with the red tip of the nose looked unusually cute and heartbreaking.

“How about getting something to eat and going to rest? Hmm?” Ahaz came closer and tenderly rubbed the top of the teenager’s hair.

“No, I have to wait……” Qing Yun is still a bit dazed, and his words were not Shen Mingye’s good-natured style but instead took on his own willful nature. He was not expecting to catch a cold since he had strengthened this body. Although most of the energy was added to the artistic creation, he also considered the physical body.

He can also have a cold?

Thinking this way, Qing Yun felt a little dizzy. This dizziness was entirely within his tolerance range, but it still surprised him a lot.

Ahaz sensitively felt the young man’s abnormal body temperature and immediately reached out to test his forehead.

It was hot.

Ahaz carefully examined the young man’s face. Indeed, his cheeks were red. Ahaz only thought his sneezing caused it, but he did not think it was because of a fever.

“You have a fever, quick, go to bed and lie down.” Ahaz’s words carried anxiousness, ignoring his current status. He was too careless. Last night, the young man read a book for an unknown time, and tonight he sat in the living room until late at night, so how could his body hold up?

“Fever?” Qing Yun was still a bit dazed, and the robot butler in front of him had an unprecedentedly anxious look on his face.

Without waiting for him to refuse, this man, whose identity is unknown, immediately picked him up and carried him upstairs.

The man’s arms were so steady that the drowsy Qing Yun surprisingly developed a feeling of wanting to rely on them. He gave a small yawn, rubbed himself on Ahaz’s shoulder, and skillfully found a comfortable position for himself.

The heavy touch on his shoulder made Ahaz’s heart a soft mess, and he quickly walked into the young man’s room, bypassing the huge bookcase on one side to place the person on the big soft bed.

The little youth shrank into a ball on the bed as Ahaz immediately turned to find the fever-reducing medicine. He had already gotten the medicine and poured water when he froze with a frown.

If he remembered correctly, when the Elmond family and the Patterson family decided to join together, they had given Shen Mingye and Yoder a thorough examination and genetic matching for the sake of their offspring. At that time, it seemed that someone had said that Shen Mingye had a particular allergy and that medications and other things should not be used indiscriminately.

Ahaz looked at the fever-reducing medicine instructions in his hand, “Use with caution in case of allergies”, and frowned with worry.

After immediately calling the family doctor, Ahaz arranged for someone to wait outside. Then, he quickly returned to the teenager’s side.

Qing Yun was lying on the big bed. The thin quilt covering him had been kicked aside, and the neckline of his clothes were scrunched and slightly unraveled. He was covered with a strange flush, and his half-open eyes looked like they were haloed with traces of tears, giving off a sparkling glow under the light.

Ahaz went to the bedside and saw such a view.

Ahaz’s soul was practically boiling but being in a robot body like this, his body could not react accordingly.
