Zhang Zong hurriedly walked over to open the door when he heard Wan'er's voice. When the door was opened, Wan'er, wearing a white dress, stood pitifully outside, which made Zhang Zong ask with concern: "Why are you not sleeping so late?"

"Young master, I... I can't sleep!" Wan'er looked at Zhang Zongdao with tears in her eyes, and her face still had a look of guilt.

Zhang Zong immediately asked Wan'er to enter the room, and then comforted him: "Waner, don't blame yourself. I have said just now. You can't blame you for this. If you really want to blame me, I will blame you for being too careless. I actually put the manuscript in such a conspicuous position and carelessly left Taiping at home, which led to what happened today."

"Young Master!" Wan'er suddenly exclaimed softly, and her whole body suddenly pounced on Zhang Zong's arms and hugged him tightly. However, her whole body was like fallen leaves in the wind and rain, and her voice was trembling, "I...I'm afraid!"

At this time, Zhang Zong finally guessed what Wan'er was thinking. She was not only feeling guilty, but also being afraid. Last time, she was almost beaten to death because of the story on the manuscript. Now the same thing happened again, so the fear buried in Wan'er's heart erupted again.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong couldn't help but sigh, and then reached out and hugged her gently, hoping to give this poor girl some comfort. Under Zhang Zong's comfort, Wan'er's trembling body slowly calmed down, but she still hugged Zhang Zong tightly and refused to let go.

Zhang Zong had no choice but to push Wan'er away, so he had to hold her and sit down slowly, and then said, "Wan'er, let's tell stories, which one do you want to hear?"

"I...I don't want to listen to stories!" Wan'er said in a weak voice. The fear in her heart arose because of Zhang Zong's story. It was nothing before, but under the current circumstances, listening to stories will only remind her of the fear she had at the beginning.

"This..." Zhang Zong had no choice but to hear this. He wanted to use the story to coax Wan'er to sleep and then send her back to bed to sleep, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't want to listen at all.

"Young Master, why not sing a song for me. I think the songs you sing are so good!" Wan'er suddenly raised her face and looked at Zhang Zongdao, her slightly red eyes were full of hope.

"Sing...sing?" Zhang Zong was also a little embarrassed when he heard this. When he was happy, he would indeed hum some songs from later generations, but most of them were entertaining himself, and he was not used to singing in front of others.

However, looking at Wan'er's big eyes, Zhang Zong couldn't bear to refuse, and finally agreed helplessly: "Okay, let me think about which song to sing?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zong simply hummed a lullaby for Wan'er. After all, as long as Wan'er can fall asleep early.

As Zhang Zong hummed, Wan'er slowly relaxed, her arms slowly loosened, and finally she snuggled in Zhang Zong's arms and listened to the song. When Zhang Zong cycled a lullaby several times, the girl finally fell asleep.

Looking at Wan'er who was sleeping, Zhang Zong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he hugged the other person and stood up gently, then came to Wan'er's room and put her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket before returning to the room.

It was almost three o'clock at this time, and Xue Shao in the guest room had already been asleep. Zhang Zong washed himself and lie on the bed with the candles. However, he was not sleepy and kept thinking about the manuscript in his mind.

But at this moment, the door was suddenly opened. Before Zhang Zong could react, a petite body jumped onto the bed and crawled into his arms. The familiar fragrance of gardenia also made Zhang Zong know that the person who was holding him was Wan'er, because the perfume she used was originally given to him.

"Young Master, I'm scared!" Wan'er said softly, holding Zhang Zong with both arms and refused to let go no matter what, which made Zhang Zong laugh and cry.

"Okay, you sleep here today, but don't move around!" Zhang Zong finally whispered helplessly. He had obviously coaxed her to sleep just now, but he didn't expect that she would wake up again. He couldn't coax her again.

"Well, thank you, young master, I will not move around!" Wan'er's little head whispered on Zhang Zong's chest, and then she became honest. Her fine breath was also very stable, as if she was about to fall asleep.

Zhang Zong was actually a little embarrassed at this time. After all, Wan'er is no longer a child, but a graceful girl. However, in Zhang Zong's opinion, she is still too young, so she has no other ideas. However, if you go in a few years, Zhang Zong will not be able to guarantee it.

However, perhaps with Wan'er's company, Zhang Zong's chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down. In the end, he fell asleep at some point. When he woke up the next day, it was already bright outside, and Wan'er around him disappeared.

Zhang Zong stood up and moved his body, then walked out of the room and stretched, but unexpectedly Xue Shao smiled and said, "Brother Shi, you can!"

"What can I do?" Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't understand what the other party's words meant by a silly sentence.

"Don't pretend to be stupid. I saw it just now!" Xue Shao smiled again and leaned into Zhang Zong's ear and whispered, but his smile was filled with indescribable vulgarity.

"What did you see?" Zhang Zong blinked and still felt a little confused.

"Wan'er, I saw her coming out of your room just now. No wonder you didn't want me to stay at home. It turned out that I was afraid of disturbing you... Hehe~" Xue Shao laughed even more obscenely at the end.

"Go and go~, don't always think about it. Wan'er was so scared that she couldn't sleep yesterday, so she came to me. She was not as dirty as you thought!" Zhang Zong's face turned dark when he heard this. He didn't expect that Xue Shao was so gossipy.

"Don't explain, as you said, explanation is to cover up, and we are all men, I understand this kind of thing, and there is nothing to explain. After all, this fact is too common, such as Guangshun his mother, who used to be the maid of Cousin Xian." Xue Shao said with a smile again.

"Then so, the maid around you is also..." Zhang Zong also asked when he heard this. Xue Shao claimed that he only liked Changsun Yuanyi, and the two of them had a private life. If he had also had a mess with the maid, I wonder what Changsun Yuanyi would think?

"Hehe, I know what you want to say, Brother Shi, but even if Yuan Yi knows, she won't care!" Xue Shao smiled again.
