Not The Sideburns I Know Chapter 204

The weather gradually turned cooler. Xiaolai sent Ervin a set of autumn clothes without mentioning anything about Shuiyun Tower. Ervin really didn't ask a word. Xiaolai felt that Ervin had lost a lot of weight, his cheeks were shrunk, and he lost his youthful roundness, revealing the tough outline of an adult man. His temperament became more calm, which was different from Henry's gentle and elegant calmness. There was a sharpness and ruthlessness hidden in his calmness. In the past, Xiaolai must have nagged him a lot to persuade him to take care of himself. Now that he saw that his appearance had changed from yesterday, he didn't dare to say much. He put down his things and stood silently for a while before leaving. When he went out, he saw several girls standing under the window looking in. Once they looked in, they pushed and shoved and covered their mouths and laughed. Xiaolai had seen too many little girls like this. He heard that this one was the world-famous Shang boss. They were looking for opportunities behind their master's back and watching the peep show here! Ervin just let the exhibition and visitors go on. Xiaolai was unhappy for him, so she stood there and looked at the maids sternly. The maids noticed it, pulled each other's clothes, lowered their heads and hurried away, but Xiaolai was still unhappy.

Ryan was lying dead as usual. After eating a few ginsengs, he still showed no improvement. Ervin, on the other hand, was very excited. He stared at Ryan with his eyes wide open all day long, like fishing. Second Grandma saw this, but she never said anything. But one night, she came over with her clothes on and her embroidery, turned on an oil lamp, and said, "You take a nap. I'll take care of him today." Second Grandma never called Ervin "Boss Shang" or "Mr. Shang" when she spoke to him. Half of it was out of anger. Ervin had no dignity in front of her and only deserved the word "you". Ervin never cared about these things. After a long time, he could pick out one of his own orders from the many orders that Second Grandma issued to the doctors and servants every day. Hearing this, Ervin was slightly stunned, turned over and got out of bed, pushed the door and left.

Second Madam sighed at his back, fearing that he would wander around and bump into the women in the family, so she asked the servant to take him to the guest room to sleep. Unexpectedly, the servant came back and said, "I don't know what happened to Mr. Shang. He is searching around in the garden!" Second Madam couldn't guess what treasures were in the garden. She heard the description and thought it was not normal, so she said, "Keep an eye on him. Tell me if there is anything wrong."

Ervin fumbled around in the garden for more than half an hour, and came back with an upside-down teacup in his hand. There was a chirping sound inside, a cricket in autumn, chirping feebly with its old arms and legs. He wiped his face, climbed back onto the bed, put the teacup next to Ryan's ear, and lay down beside the pillow, listening to the cricket's chirping with interest.

Second Grandma thought: Playing with crickets! He is still a child! Her voice softened unconsciously: "Stop teasing him."
