Their minds naturally turned quickly and they also knew where the problem came from.
A few people communicated across the air, but didn’t come up with a result.
The result was that by the time Fu Yuling finished packing up and was about to take He An to the room, they didn’t have a chance to interact with He An at all.
Fu Yuling deliberately did not let them get close to He An.
Thinking about how He An just lay silently in her embrace earlier, she felt a little bit of pity.
“Xiao An…”
The first one to go over was He Wen, who called him with an apology.
He An hugged Fu Yuling tightly, gave him a glance, and turned his head away.
He Wen still wanted to say something, but saw He An burrowing deeper into Fu Yuling’s embrace.
And Fu Yuling was even shielding him, using herself to block He An completely, causing He Wen’s words to get stuck in his throat.
Well, they successfully offended the person.
Dejected, he left. He Qiu and He Xuan were waiting outside.
Seeing him come out, the two hurriedly jumped down from the not-too-high pole and anxiously asked, “How is it?”
“He’s angry.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen him get angry!”
He Xuan chewed his lips, feeling a bit amazed.
Before there was Fu Yuling, He Wen often went to the fields alone to pull weeds, He Qiu was always at He Jingxue’s place, and the one who took care of He An the most was He Xuan.
That little guy had never opened his mouth to speak. Naturally he also didn’t have the emotion of getting angry.
Lacking experience, they honestly didn’t know what to do.
The three people became troubled, and since they thought about it for too long, they sat down.
“What do we do? Won’t he keep ignoring us?”
He Xuan was so troubled that he grabbed his hair. His handsome face was scrunched up in a pitiful expression.
He Qiu was silent the whole time. He just raised his head to look up at the sky, then suddenly stood up. He Xuan thought he had an idea and looked at him expectantly, but He Qiu just said, “It’s dark, time to sleep.”
“…”
“…”
He Qiu really did go inside to sleep.
Leaving behind He Wen and He Xuan outside still feeling troubled. The stars in the sky were not as many as before, you could only see a few twinkling faintly if you looked carefully.
The night wind still had a cool chill to it, almost autumn.
The two brothers looked at each other silently. They were not familiar with this business of cheering someone up.
Shaking their heads, they pulled their clothes up higher to cover their necks. The weather was starting to get a bit cold.
When they went in, He An was already asleep. His two hands were clutching Fu Yuling tightly and he was curled up beside her.
He Wen and He Xuan stood straight at the bedside and looked at He An’s sleeping face.
“We were wrong.”
Fu Yuling thought she heard wrong and responded with a questioning “En?”
He Wen was always the type who knew he was wrong when he was wrong, his manner not the least bit evasive, his bearing dignified.
“We were wrong to bully our younger brother before.”
Fu Yuling pretended this was the first time she was learning about this and slowly spoke out a few words.
“So you were the ones who upset Xiao An!”
She was obviously gloating, “Since it was you who did it, then you’re the ones who have to coax He An back to a good mood.”
After saying that, she hugged He An and closed her eyes to sleep.
He Qiu was sitting at the table, staring at something.
He Wen went over curiously and saw him holding a book and reading. Thanks to Fu Yuling’s guidance, apart from He An who was still reading simple picture books, the rest of them had started reading books with words.
He Qiu pointed to a paragraph and read it out, “When a person is unhappy, their emotions are extremely unstable. At this time, you need to know what he likes, prescribe the right medicine in order to coax him back to a good mood. And vice versa.”
