After marrying the hunter, he became more and more abnormal

Chapter 502 Side CP Extra: Yingying X Zhang Siyuan 4

Yingying thought haphazardly, staring intently at Zhang Siyuan, who kept talking.

"Yingying, eat this. It's delicious with this dipping sauce. It's lamb slices. And this, Ada said it's meatballs made with fresh shrimp. They're smooth, tender, and crunchy—very tasty. And this is duck blood cubes..."

Zhang Siyuan tried hard to recall what Ah Da and Ah Er had said to him before, slowly retrieving the words from his memory. If Yingying's wife hadn't stopped him from serving him food, he would have already taken Ah Da and Ah Er's place.

"Shadow Nightingale..."

"Shut up, stop talking, and eat your food."

Just as Zhang Siyuan was about to continue rambling on, Yingying, wanting some peace and quiet, couldn't help but speak up to stop him.

Zhang Siyuan smiled, and Yingying's wife, concerned for him, obediently replied "okay" and then focused on eating her food.

However, as he ate, he would always stop and look up at Yingying. When he saw Yingying looking at him, he would immediately smile. Once, he was so engrossed in his food that he choked on the spicy sauce and coughed until tears came to his eyes. Zhang Da Zhang hurriedly poured him tea.

This fool...

Yingying ate the hotpot with mixed feelings. Or perhaps it could be said that from the moment he saw Zhang Siyuan rushing towards him, the emptiness and bewilderment hidden deep within his heart seemed to be stirred up in waves.

Since entering Qinghe County, he had never imagined that anyone would welcome him back so warmly and happily. Even though there was a boss here who had been so kind to him, Ze Ge'er who shared his interests, and a group of brothers he could trust with his life, it was different; they all had their own homes...

"I'm a little tired, I'm going back to rest first." Yingying stood up and said to Zhang Siyuan. He needed to calm down and seriously consider how to live in the future, and how to treat this silly young master who seemed to be devoted to him.

"Oh." Zhang Siyuan's expression visibly fell, his eyebrows drooped, and his eyes were not as bright as before.

Yingying: "...You don't need to sit here anymore, you can go out and play."

Zhang Siyuan shook his head upon hearing this, "Siyuan won't go. Yingying is tired and needs to rest. Siyuan understands. Siyuan is obedient and won't bother Yingying. Siyuan... Siyuan will do business here and play with Yingying after she has rested."

Yingying gave him a strange look. To be honest, trusting this fool to do business was like believing a sow could climb a tree. Finally, Yingying left with a "Whatever" and went back to her place.

Zhang Siyuan wasn't really staying to sell things; he didn't know how. He was just afraid that Yingying, the wife he had finally managed to win back, would quietly leave again, so he wanted to keep a close eye on things and didn't want to go anywhere else.

Seeing this, Zhang Da and Zhang Er didn't try to persuade them. As long as their young master was safe, everything would be fine. As for the master and mistress, they must have already heard the news of Young Master Ying's return.

They guessed correctly. Zhang Guanghong and his wife did indeed hear from their servants that their grandson had cried and hugged someone in the street. After hearing this, the couple felt a headache coming on and their faces were burning with embarrassment.

What's going on!

They were angry, but no matter how outrageous or stubborn their child was, he was still their only grandson. It wasn't like he was doing anything shady like murder or arson. What could they do? They couldn't just rush over with a bunch of people, drag their grandson back, and give him a good scolding just because he hugged a man in the street, could they? Wouldn't that make them even more of a laughingstock?

"Sigh." Zhang Guanghong sighed heavily.

Madam Zhang also looked worried, heartbroken over her only mentally challenged grandson.

“Master, why don’t we speak with Young Master Ying privately? I heard what Daoist Changqing said the other day, that Yuan’er and him… have a deep connection.” Madam Zhang said hesitantly.

Zhang Guanghong remained silent for a while before saying, "Let's wait and see how he treats Yuan'er. Going now would be too early and might be too abrupt."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhang realized that she had been too hasty. Marriage is a major life event, especially given the situation of their son Yuan'er. They were already old and couldn't protect him forever. Marrying Young Master Ying did indeed require much consideration and couldn't be rushed.

"If only we had cared for him more back then," Mrs. Zhang said, her voice filled with sorrow, her eyes gradually welling up with tears. She lowered her head and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.

Zhang Guanghong's lips trembled, and his once shrewd and confident eyes were now filled with regret. But no amount of regret could turn back time and allow him to return to his absurd and arrogant past...

On the other side, Yingying also couldn't sleep. During this time, she secretly asked Xiao Sui if Zhang Siyuan had left yet. The answer was no, he was still waiting outside his family's teahouse.

Xiao Sui was clearly very curious about his relationship with the young master of the Zhang family, looking like he wanted to ask but didn't dare. Ying Ying saw this but pretended not to, and after a moment of silence, asked Xiao Sui a few more questions before waving him away and going into deep thought.

Why is that? What makes that fool so obsessed with himself?

A fool's affection... is clean and pure, without desire, or rather, he doesn't understand love between adults at all. His affection for himself is more like a love and possession of something he likes, Yingying is certain of that.

How long can this infatuation last? Is it just a passing fancy? Or will it last forever? And what about the Zhang family? He presents himself as a manly man in public; do they really not mind at all that their only son has fallen for a man? Are they just going to let that fool wait day after day, making it known throughout the whole city…

Zhang Siyuan... Zhang the Fool...

Yingying tossed and turned on the bed, thinking for a long time. Then she got up and moved to the window to look down. She didn't see the idiot, but she saw the two servants beside him. If they were there, then the idiot must be there too. He hadn't left yet.

"This idiot..."

Yingying scratched her head in frustration, and finally decided to continue living as a man. Firstly, she was already used to it, and secondly, it was more convenient to do business as a man. As for the mask, she would wear it for now and take it off when she didn't want to wear it anymore.

What troubled him most was how to treat that fool. In the past, he would have rejected him without hesitation and left him with no room for any improper thoughts. But this time, he hesitated.

He would subconsciously recall the scene of that fool running towards him, and then, uncontrollably, those trivial or even speechless entanglements from the past would play out in his mind as clearly as if washed clean, especially the other person's clumsy and cowardly approach, and the genuine joy that was revealed at certain times...

"Tsk, so annoying." Yingying felt that he had come back at the wrong time. If he had come back later or gone out to clear his head before coming back, he would definitely not have had any troubles.

In the end, Yingying decided to give up. She was reluctant to kick him out, but it wasn't time to accept it yet, so she simply let it go. Maybe one day that fool would lose interest in her.

Having figured things out, Yingying stayed in her room for a while before officially fulfilling her responsibilities as the shopkeeper, starting to check the accounts and see how the shop was doing.

Zhang Siyuan's eyes lit up the moment he saw Yingying appear behind the counter. He became her shadow, following her everywhere and bringing her tea, fruit, drinks, or pastries. Even when Yingying glared at him for being in the way, he would only be slightly saddened before cheering her up again and staring at her like a lovesick fool. He just wouldn't leave, and if you said anything to him, he would start buying things.

Yingying: "..."

Yingying looked at Zhang Er, who had paid and taken the goods and then made a quick getaway. She knew without a doubt that this wicked trick was something that the silly young master could not have come up with.

The other guests were obviously already familiar with the young master of the Zhang family's deeds, and no one thought there was anything wrong with him being there. They all seemed to take it for granted. The only novelty was that there was another protagonist present this time.

Yingying, who was not only secretly stared at but also openly teased: "…………"
