At 2 oâclock in the morning, The Ye manor was asleep in the moonlight. There were a few warm lights in the courtyard. Flying insects circled around the lights, greedily sucking the faint temperature.
But suddenly, a noise broke the pleasant and quiet night.
It sounded like the falling of a heavy object; it was very dull and tiny, difficult to detect in the past, but Ye Ya had just been awakened by a nightmare, so even the slightest movement could scare her.
Ye Ya got up from the bed, stumbled in the blackness, and touched around for a long time. After a long while, she found the cat-shaped nightcap. The cat had small light bulbs embedded in its eyes. She shook it hard, and two beams of red light refracted from the catâs eyeballs.
Ye Ya walked out of the room wearing the cap.
Since the lamp of the nightcap needs to be shaken to generate electricity, she must keep her body shaking at all times, so Ye Ya shook her head every two steps she took, and she shook once every step of the stairs she went up.
In this way, she staggered all the way up to the fourth floor. Ye Ya used the catâs eye light to see two figures standing at the door of the bedroom. One of them helped holding up the other, and his movements seemed quite difficult.
âMr. Ye, what is the password to your room?â
It was the sound of the assistant.
âMr. Ye, why did you set a password for your bedroom? Mr. Ye? Talk to me, Mr. Ye.â
It was indeed Assistant He.
Ye Ya walked over and greeted him politely, âGood evening, Misterâ¦â
The sudden sound of the childâs voice caused Assistant He and the drunk Ye Linchuan to turn their heads and look over together.
The little girl standing at the entrance of the stairs was wearing a white nightdress. Her pale face was covered with a shallow light, her pupils were dark, and her eyes were locked on the two of them.
Snapped.
The light went out.
In the darkness, the little shadow shook her head, and the cat nightcap on top of her lit up.
ââ¦â¦â
Assistant Heâs pupils constricted, his body shuddered, his hands loosened. Ye Linchuan fell to the ground as the only force keeping him up left his body. They heard a muffled sound, and his head slammed heavily on the door.
âYa⦠Yaya?âAssistant Heâs tone was still shaking.
Ye Ya shook her head and said, âMister, youâre here.â
âAhâ¦mhm. Assistant He stared blankly at the blue catâs eye lamp above her head, unable to react, âYouâ¦your hat is very unique.â
âZiyu gave it to me.â The light went out again while they talked, and Ye Ya shook her head to turn on the light again.
Assistant Heâs heartbeat returned to normal, and he asked calmly, âDo you know the password for your fatherâs room?â
Ye Linchuan was a drunk mess, so he couldnât get anything out of him.
Ye Ya shook her head and said, âI donât know.â
Assistant He sighed and muttered, âWho would put a password lock on his bedroomâ¦â He really didnât understand the world of rich people.
Ye Ya didnât speak.
She heard Brother say that Ziyu would come to his fatherâs bedroom to smash things when he got sick, and several times he tore up the contract that Ye Linchuan hadnât had time to put away. To avoid losses, Ye Linchuan straight up locked the study and bedroom with a password. They were usually locked when he was not at home.
âThe fingerprint canât open it eitherâ¦â Assistant He pulled Ye Linchuanâs finger and pressed it on the lock screen, but the door showed no sign of opening.
Seeing Assistant Heâs troubled face, as the kindest little monster in the world, Ye Ya stood up at once and generously proposed, âWe can take bro to Yayaâs room to sleep, and I can give him the bed.â
So well-behaved?
Assistant He smiled a bit. He carried Ye Linchuan into the elevator and went directly to Ye Yaâs room.
Her bed was very spacious, so much so that it could fit two Ye Linchuan on it. There were various plush toys on the head of the bed, all of which were given to her by Ziyu and Brother.
Ye Ya turned on the small bedside lamp, spread out the quilt, patted the pink-white pillow decorated with lace edges with her little hand, and made a gesture of invitation, âCome here, come here, put bro here.â
Assistant He threw Ye Linchuan on it very casually, took a long breath and rubbed his sour shoulders, and asked with a smile, âWhy does Yaya call Father bro?â
Ye Ya raised her head and said seriously, âBecause he is young.â
âHuh?â
âYaya is an elder.â Ye Yaâs tone aggravated, with an unspeakable sense of pride in her one hundred-year-old age.
Assistant He sneered and patted Ye Yaâs little head, âThen the elders have to take good care of their father. Master has to go back now.â
âOkay.â Ye Ya felt a heavy burden on her shoulders. This must be the sense of responsibility that her father once told her, âThen I will walk Mister to the door.â
Assistant He once again smiled at this serious expression, and his mood improved a lot, âItâs okay, Iâll just take the elevator down.â
Ye Ya, âI meant to send you to the bedroom door.â
ââ¦â¦â
Ok.
Assistant He left dumbfounded.
