The somewhat frozen atmosphere in the herbarium was broken by Vanessa's coquettish complaint.Yan Bai heard Pete let out a sigh of relief—he was more nervous than the two parties involved.

There was a loud noise, and the maid ran into the herbarium from the corridor with her skirt in her hand, shouting to the four children in the room: "Sir Malcolm is back!"

The two girls cheered and rushed out immediately.Yan Bai shook his head helplessly, and followed them leisurely with his hands in his trouser pockets, only to find that Pete was still standing there in a daze, holding his stuffed snow rabbit in his hands, with no joy on his face except surprise.Yan Bai shook his head and reminded him: "Peter? It's time for us to meet your father."

Pete hesitated for a moment, put down the specimen in his hand and walked out of the specimen room slowly.

When they arrived, Sir Malcolm was through the door.This time he went to Africa, and he was twice as dark when he came back.He was a handsome middle-aged man with sharp eyes and a neat short beard trimmed like steel thorns, but he had a hearty smile.He hugged the two girls who rushed towards him, hugged one in one hand, and led them around in a circle.The man's loud laughter and the girl's silvery laughter echoed in this beautiful white house, and everyone was beaming.The blue and pink skirts of the girls twirl into flowers in the air.

Sir Malcolm put down his two "daughters" and caught sight of Yan Bai who had just walked into the hall and Pete who was following behind him.He smiled and stepped forward to hug Yan Bai and pat him on the back: "Long time no see, Ward!"

"Long time no see, Sir Malcolm." Yan Bai smiled slightly, feeling the man's strong hands pinching his shoulders: "You've grown taller again!"

Yan Bai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and did not answer. The corner of his eyes glanced at Pete who was standing alone, and his heart softened: "Pete misses you very much too, doesn't he, Pete?"

"Ah..." Of all the people standing in the hallway, the two girls, the maid, the housekeeper, Yan Bai and Pete, only the last one seemed to be wandering away from everyone, with a dreamy expression on his face.Seeing everyone's eyes focused on his face, he blushed in embarrassment, and greeted his father in a low voice: "Good day, father."

Sir Malcolm smiled and hugged his son gently, and quickly separated.Embracing the two little girls who were tugging at the hem of his clothes, Malcolm began to describe the novel things he saw during this trip to the curious children, and at the same time he did not forget to greet Yanbai: "Come on, we will let you Let me see if your fencing skills have improved."

"Father." Pete, who was forgotten again, had to follow closely and shouted, "Father, did you bring me a present?"

Malcolm remembered now, and asked the maid to stuff a dead bobcat body into Pete's arms, as if he didn't notice his son's pale face instantly: "Here, this is a good thing! I'll pay you five gold coins Bought from a native chief."

Vanessa immediately exclaimed: "Indigenous chief? Sir, have you really seen them with your own eyes? Have you lived with them?"

Malcolm laughed, bent over her curious gaze and blinked mysteriously. "Oh, that's a long story. I'm afraid I'll have to save it for dinner."

A large group of people walked into the corridor noisily, leaving Pete in the foyer holding the dead bobcat at a loss.Yan Bai wanted to stay with him, but was dragged by his sister to listen to Sir Malcolm's adventure stories together.

In the evening, these stories managed to interest everyone present.Not only the children, even the adults were frightened by the terrifying cannibals from time to time and cried out in surprise.

Yan Bai cooperated with the others to put on an expression of surprise, but in fact he had been secretly paying attention to the eye contact between his mother and Sir Malcolm with a very indifferent gaze.

Like a normal banquet, they sat around a long table.As the master, Malcolm and his wife sat at the two ends of the long table, and two little girls sat on both sides of Malcolm.Below Mina are his brother Pete and Yan Bai.Opposite them, below Vanessa are the Eves couple.Yan Bai also forgot how he noticed it, but when he paid attention, he found that the eye contact between Sir Malcolm and his mother at the banquet was too frequent.

Every time, when Malcolm's adventure stories caused everyone to laugh and scream, the first thing he looked at was not his wife across the long table, but Yan Bai's mother.Of course, the latter also looked at Malcolm, leaving her husband to sit and eat meat.

Yan Bai didn't know if other people noticed that the four adults had the same joy on their faces, no, it should be said that everyone on the table was like this.Except he, the overly calm freak, discovers the secret: his mother and Sir Malcolm must have had an affair.

Lowering his eyes, he put a sliced ​​steak into his mouth.The eyes covered by the shadow of the candlelight and bangs were condensed, since the two of them hid it well, there was no need for him to expose it.Just let this superficial happiness continue.

However, that night, Vanessa saw Sir Malcolm having an affair with Yan Bai's mother.

Yan Bai had finished washing, took off his shirt and was about to change for bed, but his sister rushed into his room with a scream, and screamed again when she saw his naked back.

"Oh, Vanessa, close your eyes!" The little Lolita saw that she was topless, especially this little Lolita is still the current younger sister, and she was a little embarrassed even to say it, so she quickly turned to Vanessa who was still screaming. Roaring, at the same time hurriedly put on the pajamas and fastened them.He can only be thankful now that he was not changing his pants when his sister ran in.

Imagine that scene, Yan Bai felt like he was going to blush.

At this time, the maid who heard the noise knocked on the door and asked, "Master, is Miss at your place?"

Seeing that Vanessa was wearing a thin pajamas, standing barefoot on the floor shivering, Yan Bai asked her to go to the bed and put on the quilt first, and then opened the door.Let the maid see her trembling younger sister wrapped in a quilt: "She was frightened by a nightmare, stay with me for a while. I will send her back when she sleeps."

The maid's expression is a bit weird, after all, a 10-year-old girl came to her 15-year-old brother during bedtime is always awkward.But since the young master said so, she could only nod her head in agreement, and left holding the candle holder suspiciously.

Seeing the red light spiraling down the stairs and blending into the darkness on the first floor, Yan Bai made up his mind to close the door, turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Vanessa buried herself under the quilt, covering it from head to toe, leaving only a small pale face.She sat curled up on the bed, her eyes glazed over, until Yan Bai walked over and sat next to him, hugged her in his arms and repeated the previous question gently, then she burst into tears.

In the narration of his sister crying out of breath, Yan Bai knew from these intermittent words that just now, Vanessa discovered Malcolm's affair with her mother.

She was probably too excited to fall asleep, and wanted to sleep with Mina.When walking through the garden, I heard some movement in the maze, so I walked in involuntarily.After quietly turning a few corners—at that time, she still thought it was the servants doing something, until she saw two adults in disheveled clothes.

Yan Bai couldn't help scolding Malcolm and his mother in his heart, even if he had an affair, couldn't he find a safer place?Do you have to fight in the field?Now that's all right, I'll show it to the daughter of one of the parties involved!

He hurriedly comforted Vanessa who started to cry again thinking of that scene.After spurning the two adults who were unreliable and sensual, Yan Bai hugged Vanessa who had calmed down and asked, "Did Mother and Sir Malcolm see you?"

Loli lying obediently in his arms wiped her tears and shook her head, stretching out her hand from under the quilt to hug her elder brother tightly, completely dejected after suffering a huge mental trauma.

"So did you tell anyone else about it?"

Vanessa continued to shake her head.

Yan Bai thought for a while, and said softly to her: "Then let's hide this matter and keep others from knowing, okay?"

Vanessa raised her head in surprise, staring blankly at Yan Bai: "Aren't you going to tell father?"

Yan Bai frowned, thinking of his father's always shrewd behavior and the way he only focused on eating at the dinner party today, he wasn't sure if he knew about his wife and his friend's affair.If he knew it long ago and didn't say it, wouldn't it be no good for him and Vanessa to expose this matter?Besides...

"After telling this matter, you and Mina will not be able to meet in the future."

Vanessa was still at a loss, not understanding what he meant.

"Mother and Sir Malcolm...together. Of course, Mrs. Malcolm and Pete will hate their mother, and they will also hate our family. Do you think they will let you continue to associate with Mina?" Bai Rare patiently explained everything to Vanessa, because he felt that he had some responsibility for this matter, and he saw that his mother and Jazz's affair was not optimistic about his sister.Of course, no one thought that Vanessa would run out at night.

Perhaps frightened by Yan Bai's description, Vanessa couldn't help shrinking into Yan Bai's embrace again, and she whispered, "I don't want to leave Mina."

"So," Yan Bai rubbed his face against his younger sister's hair, and said softly, "We must keep this secret."

Vanessa stared at Yan Bai, her eyes were frighteningly clean after the shock faded away, she looked at it for a long time before saying, "Did brother already know?"

Yan Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, did not answer, but patted her on the head, let go of his hands and got up: "You should go back to sleep."

Vanessa pouted dissatisfiedly, and wanted to act coquettishly.But seeing that her brother had really put on a serious face, he could only crawl out of bed slowly.

Escorting the younger sister back to her bedroom, tucked in the quilt, Yan Bai was about to leave, but was held back by Vanessa.The little girl's white and tender chin rested on the dark back, her eyes shone brightly in the flickering candle light: "Kiss good night."

Yan Bai bent down helplessly, and put his lips on his sister's forehead.Looking down at her fan-like eyelashes, she said softly, "Good night."

Vanessa raised her head and kissed his eyes: "Good night, brother."
