"Housekeeper Zhong knew the old madam very well and naturally knew about young master's strange illness. His face was also filled with surprise at this sight. "Old madam, this…"
The old madam's expression was still anxious and doubtful. She slowed down and walked towards the both of them carefully.
Seeing the old madam there, Ye Wanwan subconsciously wanted to get up but because Si Yehan was leaning on her, she couldn't stand up. "Grandma…"
The old madam looked confused and seeing that her grandson still had no reaction as she got closer, she said, "Wanwan… Little 9th, he…"
Ye Wanwan was afraid of the bad temper he'd get when woken up and so hadn't dared to wake him up until now. But now that old madam was here, she gently shoved him, "Si Yehan, wake up…"
The guy sleeping soundly against her furrowed his brows after being pushed. His peaceful and gentle expression was stained with a shroud of darkness, seemingly displeased.
The old madam stared at her grandson's sleepy face and it took her a long time to regain her senses as she was filled with emotion. "Don't… Wanwan, don't wake him up, let him sleep for awhile! This child usually sleeps too little…"
Si Yehan's small frown caused Ye Wanwan's little heart to shiver in fear; she also didn't want to get on the wrong side of the devil. She heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that and stroked Si Yehan's hair with her hands to pacify him while asking softly, "Is there a blanket? I'm afraid he'll catch a cold if he sleeps like that."
"There is, there is. Old Zhong, go and get it," the old madam briskly replied.
"Yes."
Housekeeper Zhong quickly came back with a light and soft grey blanket.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhong!" Ye Wanwan took the blanket and covered Si Yehan.
After she had soothed him, Si Yehan's brows were no longer furrowed together and he was sleeping soundly again.
The old madam was afraid that she'd disturb her grandson, so she signalled Ye Wanwan with her eyes and then left silently with the housekeeper.
Actually, the old madam didn't go far. She kept watch for a bit, watching the way her grandson slept, her eyes red.
"Old Zhong, go fetch Xu Yi and Dr Mo!"
"Yes, old madam." Housekeeper Zhong immediately called for them.
Mo Xuan and Xu Yi were at the old house, and after being called, they quickly followed Housekeeper Zhong to the courtyard.
"Old madam, did you ask for me?" Mo Xuan felt uncertain as he thought old madam would be meeting her future granddaughter-in-law. Why did she call me over at this hour?
Xu Yi, who was standing at the side, didn't understand either.
The old madam stared at Mo Xuan sternly, "You told me before that Little 9th's recent condition was very terrible, the failure rate of the hypnotism was increasing and he couldn't fall asleep for many days in a row, right?"
As this tough problem was brought up again, Mo Xuan nodded slightly, "Yes."
After the old madam heard his answer, she pointed a short distance away, "Then tell me, what's the meaning of that?"
Mo Xuan's confused gaze followed the direction that old madam was pointing towards. Then, he saw that Si Yehan was actually sleeping soundly against Ye Wanwan.
Mo Xuan was speechless, "This…"
"I even went over to confirm that Little 9th was asleep. Also, I've been watching from here and he's slept for half an hour already," the old madam said.
Mo Xuan was even more surprised--Si Yehan actually slept without my hypnotism?
Xu Yi was also stunned.
"How did 9th master fall asleep?" Mo Xuan asked anxiously.
The old madam looked in the direction of her grandson and said in a low voice, "That, I'm not sure. After dinner, I asked Little 9th to bring Wanwan to walk around in the courtyard. Seeing that they had been gone for so long, I went to find these two children and then I saw Little 9th leaning against Wanwan, asleep.
It was rare to see Little 9th asleep so I requested Wanwan not to wake him up and let him sleep for a little longer."
Mo Xun wrinkled his forehead, "How could this be? I've been with the 9th master for so long and he's never fallen asleep naturally--this is the first time!"
If this wasn't the case, I wouldn't have had such headaches over him all this time!
At that moment, Xu Yi seemed to recall something. His eyes glistened and he said hurriedly, "No… actually, this isn't the first time!"
"Not the first time? What do you mean?" Mo Xun and the old lady looked at Xu Yi.
Xu Yi recalled and replied, "I remember that one night, 9th master also fell asleep under similar conditions."
"What kind of conditions, could you be more specific?" Mo Xun pressed on.
Xu Yi omitted the part where Ye Wanwan escaped and caused Si Yehan to have consecutive sleepless nights and explained simply, "That time, the 9th master was also with Ms Ye, at Jin garden on the living room sofa. 9th master hugged Ms Ye and slept the whole night…"
"One whole night?"
"That's right. I was also pretty shocked at the time, so it stood out to me. 9th master started sleeping around 10 at night and woke up at 6 in the morning. A total of 8 hours of sleep!" Xu Yi replied.
Mo Xun pinched the area between his brows, "Why didn't you tell me earlier--this is huge!"
Xu Yi put on an innocent face, "That… 9th master hadn't slept consecutively for so many nights so that time, I thought he was just too exhausted so he fell asleep… and I also thought that he would tell you himself…"
Mo Xun took a deep breath and furrowed his brows. As if he would tell me personally.
"Any more? Are there any other incidents? Tell me all of them at once!"
Xu Yi thought carefully and realised that there was!
"It seems like there's one more but I'm not too sure…" Xu Yi hesitated for a moment and then said, "The night before 9th master came to the old house for a checkup, he returned to Jin garden before dawn because he went to the school to look for Ms Wanwan that night.
I was waiting in the car all night, for more than 6 hours, before he returned.
That time, I saw that 9th master looked quite good like he had just woken up, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Thinking back, could it be possible that during those 6 hours or so, 9th master was sleeping with Ms Wanwan?"
Mo Xun pondered silently for a long time, "If your speculation was right, then there is a commonality between all three times when he fell asleep naturally--Ye Wanwan was there?"
Xu Yi nodded, "Seems to be the case."
The old madam heard, understood and said emotionally, "This means that whenever Ye Wanwan is around, Little 9th can fall asleep more easily? If that's the case, then great!"
Mo Xun said cautiously, "Old madam, please don't get too excited. We need to make some more observations. In the entirety of 9th master and Ms Ye's relationship, this has happened very rarely--only three times recently."
The old madam was slightly disappointed when she heard that. She turned to Xu Yi and said, "Xu Yi, you're by Little 9th's side every day. Now, do pay more attention and find out exactly what's going on."
"Got it!"
