The room was air-conditioned, and both of them took off their coats when they entered.
The girl’s back was straight and her neck was slender.
Her sleeves were rolled up to the middle of her forearm, exposing her wrist bones, and the fingers placed on the emerald green herbs were even more slender and white.
“I can read.” Ying Zijin leaned back and raised her head lazily, “There is everything in the book.”
“…”
OK, he admitted his defeat and they looked at each other for a few seconds, then he bent his fingers and tapped on the girl’s forehead: “You are not allowed to read this kind of book in the future.”
“No.” Ying Zijin lowered her head and fiddled with the electric pressure cooker, “That would be no fun.”
She also planned to buy some novels from this era to read to relieve her boredom.
“Brother will invite you to dinner?”
“There’s no need.”
Super ruthless.
“…”
The girl spoke again: “At most -“
Fu Yunshen looked at her with deep eyebrows and lowered eyes.
She was still very serious: “I’ll take you to watch with me.”
Fu Yunshen paused for a moment, raised his lips, and suddenly smiled: “Take me to watch with you?”
Could this be done?
Ying Zijin yawned and felt sleepy again. She half-closed her eyes and said, “Well, let me learn online shopping first.”
Fu Yunshen looked deeply at the girl’s tired look, but her expression was not fake. He realized that this was what she thought. Yes, but there was no unnecessary meaning.
Sure enough, she was still a kid.
The phone suddenly rang at this moment.
Fu Yunshen took a deep look at Ying Zijin, and after confirming that she wouldn’t blow him up, he got up and went outside to answer the phone.
“Seventh Young Master, come here quickly.” It was Nie Chao who called, “You are the only one missing.”
Fu Yunshen said casually: “It’s okay.”
“Didn’t I agree to hold a dust-cleansing banquet for you? This, isn’t it a problem?” Nie Chao said, “Come on, come on, everyone is here for you at the King Club. By the way, your playmates are also here, waiting for you, young master.”
Fu Yunshen’s eyebrows were raised: “How come I didn’t know I still had this thing?”
“Hey, isn’t it just a title? After all, aren’t they all from your wealthy family in Shanghai?” Nie Chao urged, “It’s such an afternoon, what are you doing? Come and have a drink with your brothers. Why don’t you come every time I ask you?”
“I’m staying with the kid, so I won’t go.” Fu Yunshen leaned against the door, “You guys play.”
On the other end, Nie chao who was hung up on the phone, looked shocked, as if he had been struck by lightning. Just two words came to his mind – “beast!”
Even such a young sister could be touched!
The other wealthy young masters in the box did not hear the content of the call, but they were a little surprised when they saw Nie Chao’s expression looking wrong: “What did the Seventh Young Master say?”
“Oh… He said he couldn’t come over.” It took Nie Chao a long time to come back to his senses, “You guys play first, and I’ll make a call later.”
As the most diligent kid in Shanghai, he must get first-hand gossip.
Three hours later, the electric pressure cooker made a beeping sound.
Ying Zijin opened her eyes and raised her hand to open the lid.
There was a faint fragrance wafting in, refreshing the heart and mind.
The pills that had been formed in the pot were dark green, no more, no less, exactly fifty.
She put the pills into the pill bottle she bought in advance, cleaned up the mess on the ground, and opened the door.
The man was half leaning against the wall, tapping his phone with his slender fingers. After hearing the movement, he raised his head and said, “Everything okay?”
Ying Zijin didn’t expect that he was still waiting outside, and was startled: “Why didn’t you come in?”
“Afraid of disturbing you?” Fu Yunshen was lazy and didn’t say much.
He lowered his head, looked at the medicine bottle the girl handed him, and raised his eyebrows: “Kidney replenishment?”
“No.” Ying Zijin picked up her schoolbag and hung it on one shoulder, “Prolong life.”
It only had the effect of tonifying the kidneys, liver and stomach.
“Huh? I’m going to live longer at this age?” Fu Yunshen was very interested. Although he said this, he still packed the medicine bottle and asked, “Eat?”
“I want to go out of the city.” Ying Zijin glanced at her cell phone and said, “I’ll treat you to dinner in a few days.”
“Leave the city?”
“Well, go back to Qingshui County.”
The medical conditions in Qingshui County were far behind those in Shanghai.
Wen Fengmian had been frugal all his life, and he would definitely be reluctant to spend the hundred thousand given by the Ying family. It had been a year, and she didn’t know what must have happened to him.
“Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month…” Fu Yunshen seemed to have remembered something, his eyes became a little colder, and the curve of his lips also tightened.
But when he tilted his head, his peach-blossom eyes were filled with smile again, and he called: “Kid.”
Ying Zijin turned around and said, “Huh?”
“Brother has nowhere to go today.” He trailed off, his amber eyes shining with the fragments of light floating in the air, “Look, do you want to take me in?”
“…”
It was completely dark at 7:30 in the evening, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky from time to time.
Wen Fengmian took out the flour from the old-fashioned refrigerator. As soon as he walked to the chopping board, he coughed violently and it took a while to stop.
Just as he was about to boil water, there was a knock on the door.
Wen Fengmian wiped his hands clean, coughed a few more times, and then walked out: “Who is it?”
It was so late, and no one would come to visit.
He opened the door and looked over, but was suddenly stunned.
The girl stood under the eaves, with a layer of moonlight falling on her black hair, which was hazy and unreal.
Although he hadn’t seen her for a year, her appearance remained the same.
Wen Fengmian’s throat rolled up and he didn’t dare to recognize it at all.
His voice was difficult and trembling violently, and it took him a long time to utter two words: “…Yaoyao?”
“It’s me.” Ying Zijin held his arm, “Be careful, don’t fall.”
She calmly checked his pulse and had an idea.
Wen Fengmian’s health was worse than she initially thought.
Years of heavy work had crushed him.
After receiving the affirmative answer, Wen Fengmian didn’t come back to his senses for a while.
He was stunned for a while, then grabbed her hand, and said in a sharp and urgent tone: “Yaoyao, why are you back from the Ying family? Where are they, not with you?”
He looked the girl up and down again, his expression even more serious: “Tell dad, are the people over there bullying you?”
It was a very ordinary sentence, but it could easily hit the heart and make people defeated.
“Nothing. I just got some free time today and came back to see you.” Ying Zijin pressed Wen Fengmian’s shoulders and smiled lightly, “It’s my fault that I haven’t come to see you this year.”
If only she could wake up earlier, and come here then what happened a year ago won’t happen. Only then did Wen Fengmian feel relieved. He turned around and wiped his eyes. He tried to calm his breathing. His emotions were still fluctuating violently, and his voice was still trembling: “Dad… is very happy that you can come back.”
After all, with the words Ying family said at that time, he thought he would never see her again in this life.
Ying Zijin helped him into the house: “Are you alone at home?”
“Yu Yu has classes today.” Wen Fengmian started coughing again. After he stopped, he smiled and said, “But he should be back soon.”
As soon as he finished speaking, outside the yard: “Dad, I’m back. I bought some meat today. In the evening we can…”
After seeing the girl, all the rest of the words stopped.
