Chapter 38

Fu Huaifei was not an expert in tea art; these words were taught to him one by one by Sang Yan.

Therefore, I accidentally overdid it when I was performing, and almost shouted "giegie" while jamming my voice.

The usually slow-witted Shen Tingzhou noticed something was wrong and wondered if Fu Huaifei had a cold. Why was his voice so...

It's hard to describe.

But Fu Huaifei himself didn't notice anything and was still caught up in the exaggerated drama. He said to Xu Xun, "Xiao Xun, why don't you say anything? No way, no way, you are not really angry, are you?"

He is not good at playing the role of tea, but he is quite good at playing the role of weakness.

Fu Huaifei first showed his perfect profile, then Daiyu frowned and coughed, looking at Shen Tingzhou with a pitiful and helpless look.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I made Xiaoxun unhappy."

Shen Tingzhou: ...

Was it his illusion? Why did he seem to hear someone calling 'giegie'?

Xu Xun wiped his mouth with a napkin calmly, "Uncle, I'm younger than you, don't call me giegie."

Fu Huaifei felt guilty. Ah, did he just scream out?

Sang Yan desperately winked at Fu Huaifei: You didn't call him out, he was teasing you, hurry up and confront him!

Although Sang Yan affirmed it, Fu Huaifei still lacked confidence, "I don't have..."

Xu Xun put down his napkin. At this moment, his and Fu Huaifei's roles were reversed. He seemed to be the elder and looked at Fu Huaifei in an unfathomable way.

Xu Xun chuckled, "Since my uncle wants to take Dr. Shen to see the cat, let's go."

Shen Tingzhou thought Xu Xun was speaking sarcastically and dared not say anything.

Xu Xunchong smiled at Shen Tingzhou and said, "Let's go watch the belly dancing cats. I think it's quite interesting. I'll just stay at home and take care of the three cats."

His attitude made Shen Tingzhou even more embarrassed, "How about... forget it."

Xu Xun advised: "Go ahead, the purpose of going out on vacation is to have fun. Take more videos and show them to me. It will be like I am going there."

Sang Yan looked defensive, and he suspected Xu Xun was hiding a bigger conspiracy.

But the other party did not do that. He was gentle and generous throughout the whole process and even personally sent Shen Tingzhou to Fu Huaifei's car.

Sang Yan couldn't understand his action, but at least Dr. Shen got in the car.

Men are fickle. They may look uneasy now, but they will be obsessed with cats later and will not feel any guilt at all.

Sure enough, on the way, Shen Tingzhou had all kinds of entanglements and regrets.

He should stay at home with his wife and children, bah, stay at home and take care of three cats with Xu Xun.

But when he arrived at the place and saw the cat Baiwan and the cat dancer, Shen Tingzhou's eyes instantly widened.

This is a million cats! ! This is Shen Tingzhou's longest-time favorite pickled mustard cat. He has been playing with it online for four or five years and would watch its videos before going to bed.

Later, Shen Shen and Xu Xu were born, and Xu Xun also started posting cat videos on his Moments.

Shen Tingzhou gave up Cat Million and threw himself into the arms of Little Silver Gradient and Orange Cat.

Now the cat Baiwan appeared in front of him vividly. Looking at the beautiful heterochromatic eyes, the smooth fur, the four snow-white paws, and the cute little belly, Shen Tingzhou's soul was shaken.

In addition to Cat Million, there are many other internet celebrity cats that he often sees.

Shen Tingzhou was so happy that he almost fainted, and sent Qin Si more than ten messages to show off.

The other party ignored him and replied with cute pictures of Shen Tingzhou's own cats, each of which was so adorable that it made people's hearts flutter.

After fighting with Qin Si for a while, Shen Tingzhou happily immersed himself in heaven and started petting the cat.

Seeing Shen Tingzhou so happy, Fu Huaifei also felt happy. He followed Shen Tingzhou and moved among the cats.

These cats were all hired by Sang Yan at his own expense. Since he didn't know Shen Tingzhou's specific preferences, he decided to win by quantity.

The main dish is a big cat stew, with all kinds of cats invited for Shen Tingzhou to choose.

Shen Tingzhou naturally liked them all and wanted to jump up and down to pet the cats.

At first, Fu Huaifei followed Shen Tingzhou with a smile on his face, but soon he couldn't smile anymore.

Because Shen Tingzhou only stroked the cat and ignored him, and even if he did, he was perfunctory.

Fu Huaifei asked shyly, "Tingzhou, are you satisfied with the arrangement of today's date?"

Shen Tingzhou nodded wildly, "Satisfied, satisfied."

"What kind of cat do you like best?"

"All is well."

"Since you like cats so much, let's..." Fu Huaifei hooked his feet and drew circles on the ground, "Let's raise a cat together."

"I like it."

Fu Huaifei was surprised, "Really?"

"All is well."

Fu Huaifei noticed something was wrong and raised his head, "Tingzhou?"

Shen Tingzhou could no longer see people in his eyes, only beautiful cats. His cheeks were flushed, and his fingers were moving so vigorously that he almost left afterimages. He felt as excited as if he was possessed by Niangniang Shiji.

Fu Huaifei stood there in a daze.

At this moment, he felt that he was very far away from Shen Tingzhou.

-

After spending a whole day with Shen Tingzhou, Fu Huaifei was unable to say a few words to him.

There is only the cat in his eyes, not me.

Fu Huaifei looked at the sun visor sadly, feeling that his life was full of regrets.

Although he possesses extraordinary handsome looks, unparalleled talent, wealth that he cannot spend in ten lifetimes, and a very high social status, so what?

He is not just a poor guy in the game of love.

Fu Huaifei hugged himself and let loneliness overwhelm him - this world would eventually kiss him with pain.

After returning to the villa, Sang Yan had just parked the car when Xu Xun walked over.

He bent down and knocked on the back seat window, and Shen Tingzhou pushed the door and walked down.

Xu Xun said, "Let's go."

Shen Tingzhou looked confused, "Where are we going?"

Xu Xun ignored him and looked at Fu Huaifei in the carriage, "Uncle, I'm taking Doctor Shen out, and I won't be back for dinner."

Watching their backs as they left, Sang Yan gripped the steering wheel tightly, very dissatisfied with Xu Xun's behavior of appearing and robbing people.

Sang Yan looked towards the back seat and said angrily, "Sir, how could he do this? You are his elder!"

How can you compete with your uncle for your aunt? That's outrageous!

Fu Huaifei's long hair had been spread out at some point, making his facial features look even softer. His eyes were melancholy and his voice was weak.

"Forget it. Loneliness may be my fate in this life. Let Tingzhou go. Why bother to implicate him?"

Sang Yan said anxiously: "Sir, you can't admit defeat like this."

Fu Huaifei turned his head to the side and said sadly, "Xiaoxun should like Tingzhou too, right?"

Sang Yan: "But Dr. Shen is your beloved, you can't give him up for the sake of family affection. After all... he didn't give in!"

Fu Huaifei: "But how can I snatch it from him? He has been favored more than me since he was a child."

Fu Huaifei will always remember that when he was eight years old, he built a big castle with Lego, but the whole family was attracted by a bubble spit out by infant Xu Xun.

It was just a bubble, but he was building a big castle!

When he was nine years old, he defeated many children older than him and won the piano competition in the children's area.

But so what? Everyone was praising Xu Xuncongming who had just learned to walk.

When he was eleven years old, he...

Fu Huaifei and Xu Xun are a tragedy of "If there is Yu, why is there Liang?" As long as Xu Xun is there, he will always be the one who is not cared for.

"Xiao Sang, you don't know that I have been walking in the dark all my life."

Hearing Fu Huaifei's discouragement, Sang Yan quickly held his hand tightly.

"How could that be? When I first saw you at the age of fourteen, I was simply astonished by your beauty. At that time, I vowed to be a good housekeeper like my father and take care of you forever. You are such an excellent person, no one would dislike you. I believe Dr. Shen will definitely fall in love with you."

Faced with Sang Yan's encouragement, Fu Huaifei felt a little excited.

But thinking of Xu Xun, he was still very hesitant, "But Xiao Xun is also very likable."

Sang Yan immediately pulled him back, "How can he compare to you?"

Fu Huaifei whispered, "My parents have always liked him and have been partial to him since childhood. They also said that I..."

Sang Yan's heart was lifted up for Fu Huaifei, "What did you say about you?"

"They also said I was... an acting queen." Fu Huaifei simply couldn't say these two words. He said sadly, "They said they are not used to me because I am used to myself."

Sang Yan covered his mouth, "Oh my God, how could it be..."

He couldn't imagine that Fu Huaifei had experienced all this when he was a child.

Because of Sang Yan's heartache, Fu Huaifei confided more, "They also said that I was too nosy."

Sang Yan couldn't believe his ears. "Mr. and Mrs. Fu, how could they do this?"

Fu Huaifei sobbed, "That's what they did. They called me a fire-burning girl and asked me to tie my hair up."

Sang Yan paused, "Why is it the girl who burns the fire?"

Fu Huaifei looked resentful, "They said I have a bad temper and a small mind."

Sang Yan: ...

Sang Yan: "This is really too much!"

How can you call someone a fire-burning girl? And how can you be so petty, sir?

Sir, he is so weak, Sang Yan actually hopes he can be more energetic!

If these weren't Fu Huaifei's parents, who were nice to him, Sang Yan would have gone after them and fought them to the death.

-

Xu Xun drove out of the villa. When he passed by the birch forest, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but look outside, "Where are you going?"

Xu Xun did not answer, but asked, "Did you have fun today?"

Feeling that this was a life-threatening question, Shen Tingzhou answered cautiously, "Not bad."

Xu Xun's face was calm, and his tone was calm, "Did you take a video?"

Shen Tingzhou nodded, "I took a few."

Xu Xun: "So that cat can really belly dance?"

Shen Tingzhou: "In theory, no. In reality... it can jump if controlled by humans."

The dancer cat was so cute, especially when it was wearing a dancer's costume, that he wanted to make one for Shen Shen.

Xu Xun sighed: "It seems that it is time for Shen Shen to learn some skills."

Shen Tingzhou: “…Goodbye.” Cats should be carefree, not like chicken dolls or cats.

Xu Xun glanced at Shen Tingzhou and said, "Don't you like it?"

Shen Tingzhou's guilt surfaced again, and he tried to calm himself down and said, "That's it."

Xu Xun didn't continue the topic and said, "I gave them a bath and trimmed their nails this morning."

Shen Tingzhou was surprised to have done so much work, "Is it tiring?"

Xu Xun hummed, "Tired."

Shen Tingzhou choked and said, "Then... go to bed early tonight."

Xu Xun asked Shen Tingzhou a soul-searching question, "If the cat is so tired today, will it only receive such insignificant care?"

Shen Tingzhou: ...

I feel that Xiao Xu is particularly resentful today, as if he is not an ordinary chaste person.

Shen Tingzhou hesitated, "I think I can give you... a massage tonight?"

Xu Xun smiled slightly, looking considerate, "But Dr. Shen must be very tired today, after all, he was outside all day and petted so many cats."

Shen Tingzhou felt that a slight smile was a terrifying smile that could be combined with a squinting smile.

Fortunately, Xu Xun stopped holding a grudge and drove Shen Tingzhou up the mountain.

As night fell, the winding mountain road became silent.

The tall birch trees on both sides of the road quickly receded from Shen Tingzhou's sight.

When they reached the top of the mountain, Xu Xun stopped the car. The roof of the car slowly moved backwards. His view suddenly opened up and the sky full of stars came into view.

In the city of tall buildings, you can no longer see so many stars.

Looking up at the stars in the sky, Shen Tingzhou felt inexplicably relaxed. At this time, Xu Xun pulled the blanket over him.

Xu Xun was very well prepared. In addition to a blanket to keep warm, there was also hot soup and snacks.

Seeing Xu Xun roasting marshmallows with a lighter, Shen Tingzhou smiled and said, "Is it so complete?"

Xu Xun shed his chastity and handed the first roasted marshmallow to Shen Tingzhou, "Be careful of the burns."

Shen Tingzhou took it and said, "Thank you."

He ate roasted marshmallows, drank hot soup, looked up at the stars, and felt comfortable and relaxed. Even the cool breeze blowing on his cheeks felt comfortable.

Xu Xun took out his tablet and asked, "Want to watch a movie?"

Shen Tingzhou nodded, "Okay."

Xu Xun found a heartwarming movie, adjusted the car seat to a comfortable slope, and watched the movie for more than an hour on the top of the mountain with Shen Tingzhou.

After watching the film, Shen Tingzhou still felt a little unsatisfied. He turned his head and saw Xu Xun with his eyes closed. He didn't know whether he was resting or asleep.

Afraid that he would catch a cold from the mountain breeze, Shen Tingzhou leaned over to find the button to close the roof.

A hand reached out and held him down. Shen Tingzhou looked up and saw Xu Xun opening his eyes and looking at him.

Shen Tingzhou was slightly stunned, "Awake?"

Xu Xun seemed not to be fully awake yet and kept staring at Shen Tingzhou.

Shen Tingzhou felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. When he started to wonder if there was something dirty on his face, he saw him sitting up.

Xu Xun said, "Go back."

Shen Tingzhou fastened his seat belt and said, "Okay."

-

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when they returned. The two of them went upstairs to their room and happened to run into Sang Yan coming out of Fu Huaifei's room.

Shen Tingzhou didn't think there was anything wrong at first. Sang Yan was Fu Huaifei's housekeeper, and it was normal for him to go in and out of his bedroom, even at very late hours.

But Xu Xun suddenly grabbed his hand and dragged him to a corner.

Shen Tingzhou was puzzled:?

Xu Xun lowered his voice, "His clothes are a little messy."

Sang Yan paid great attention to his appearance, and his clothes were always neat and tidy without a wrinkle. But today, his bow tie was crooked, his hair hung down in front of his forehead, his clothes were wet, and his steps were not as calm as before.

He hurried towards his room.

"Is it——" Shen Tingzhou was suspicious, "Mr. Fu is in trouble?"

Xu Xun's eyes were deep, "Don't you think that Sang Yan treats my uncle..."

He only said half of his words, leaving the other half for people to imagine.

Shen Tingzhou guessed according to his words, "You mean... Butler Xiao Sang likes Mr. Fu?"

Xu Xun gave Shen Tingzhou a look that said "Isn't this obvious?"

Shen Tingzhou had never thought about it in this way, but after hearing what Xu Xun said, it seemed that Butler Xiao Sang was indeed particularly tolerant of Mr. Fu.

Xu Xun: "I heard that my uncle would ask Sang Yan to rub his back when he takes a bath."

Shen Tingzhou: Good fellow!

As Xiao Shen had never been to a public bathhouse to take a bath, he was shocked by this kind of back-scrubbing behavior.

Xu Xun narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you think Sang Yan can wear anything when my uncle is naked?"

Shen Tingzhou:!!!

He couldn't imagine the scene any more, Fu Huaifei without clothes and Sang Yan without clothes in the bathroom...

No, no, it feels like countless soaps are falling down.

-

Because of Xu Xun's words, Shen Tingzhou could no longer look Sang Yan and Fu Huaifei in the eye.

In the morning, Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun went downstairs together. Fu Huaifei stared at them with unspeakable sadness, but he didn't know whether he was looking at his sweetheart Shen Tingzhou, or at Xu Xun, who had always been more favored than him.

I was so engrossed in the roses that I accidentally got pricked by the thorns.

Sang Yan, who was arranging flowers, heard Fu Huaifei's slight cry of pain. He immediately dropped the flowers in his hand and took Fu Huaifei's hand.

When Shen Tingzhou walked over, Sang Yan was using soft silk to wipe the blood off Fu Huaifei's fingers. He blew on the wound from time to time, his face full of heartache.

"It's all my fault. I put the flower next to the gentleman. Otherwise, the gentleman wouldn't have been hurt."

Xu Xun gave Shen Tingzhou a look that said "everything is said without words".

Shen Tingzhou: This... is indeed quite ambiguous.

During breakfast, Sang Yan cut all the food into pieces and peeled the grapes before putting them on the table. He didn't let his delicate husband do any extra work.

Shen Tingzhou was throwing away garbage, and the trash can was full of pulled rose thorns.

Shen Tingzhou: ...

In the afternoon, Shen Tingzhou came out of the room and bumped into Sang Yan, who had a frown on his face, in the corridor.

As they passed each other, Shen Tingzhou heard Sang Yan, who was holding a diary, saying in distress: "Why are there more hairs falling out than yesterday? It seems I need to add some vegetables."

As expected, Fu Huaifei's dinner included a dish of fruits and vegetables that were good for hair.

Seeing Fu Huaifei eating the vegetables, Sang Yan smiled with satisfaction, then took out the notebook he carried with him and wrote something down.

In the evening, Shen Tingzhou saw Sang Yan holding Fu Huaifei's shirt and looking at the people accompanying him with frowns.

"I've told you many times that I'm the one who organizes the gentleman's things. How can the gentleman wear his clothes if you iron them like this?"

Is there really anyone who loves work so much?

Shen Tingzhou retracted his head and couldn't help but doubt the feelings of Butler Xiao Sang towards Fu Huaifei.

Such a strong possessiveness, such deep care, could it be that he really...

If this is true, my God, then Butler Sang is really affectionate.

Then at night, Shen Tingzhou's door was knocked open by Sang Yan, who was deeply in love with him.

"Doctor Shen, can I talk to you?" Sang Yan had a shy look on his face, as if he had made some kind of determination to come here.

Shen Tingzhou was frightened by his serious tone and stepped aside to let him in.

"Doctor Shen, I won't beat around the bush. Please tell me how you feel about Mr.

Shen Tingzhou was startled and quickly clarified, "Don't worry, I definitely don't have any thoughts about Mr. Fu in that regard."

Sang Yan was slightly emotional, "I'm worried about you being like this."

Shen Tingzhou: ...Ah?

Sang Yan said sadly: "The gentleman has lost his appetite because of you, and has become thinner and thinner. His beautiful hair has even started to fall out. How come you don't feel his sincerity?"

What kind of feelings does Fu Huaifei have for him?

Shen Tingzhou's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak clearly, "I, him, you...did you make a mistake?"

"How could I have made a mistake in the person that Mr. Shen likes?" Sang Yan looked at Shen Tingzhou anxiously, "Mr. Shen is a very good person, Doctor Shen, I really hope you can cherish him."

Shen Tingzhou still found it hard to digest, but Sang Yan was more shocked.

Sang Yan actually came to beg him for Fu Huaifei, does he love him so much, Butler Sang!

Shen Tingzhou felt distressed and tried to persuade her, "Although love is about fulfillment,... you can't sacrifice your own feelings just to fulfill others, right?"

Sang Yan didn't understand what Shen Tingzhou was saying, but that didn't stop him from having his own understanding.

"You are right. Sacrificial love is not love. Real love is a two-way relationship. I believe that as long as you understand the gentleman, you will definitely run towards him in both directions."

Oh my God, oh my God.

Butler Xiao Sang has actually brainwashed himself. The feelings he has for Mr. Fu are not love, and he must make Mr. Fu happy.

Shen Tingzhou cried to death, he was really crying.

Shen Tingzhou held Sang Yan's hand and told him the correct view of love, "You can't say that, your feelings are also important! You have to put your feelings first!"

What does it have to do with me?

Sang Yan didn't understand, "Well, you're right, but I'm happy if my husband is happy."

Shen Tingzhou sighed, "Do you love Mr. Fu so much?"

Sang Yan said without thinking, "Of course, Mr. is one of the most important people in my life. I love him more than I love..."

Wait a moment!

love?

Sang Yan realized what Shen Tingzhou meant belatedly and took two or three steps back in fear.

"I respect you, sir, not love you! Doctor Shen, how can you make such an outrageous guess?"

Shen Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, "Just respect?"

Sensing a hint of doubt in his words, Sang Yan wished he could commit suicide to prove his innocence.

Could it be that Dr. Shen didn't like Mr. Shang, and mistakenly thought that he and Mr. Shang had that kind of relationship?

Oh my god, no!

A thunderbolt like the one in "Thunderstorm" struck Sang Yan's brain. His body was swaying and he was almost possessed by Ke Yun.

Sang Yan fled from Shen Tingzhou's room in despair, covered his head with a quilt, and screamed silently inside.

He turned out to be an important stumbling block in the gentleman's courtship, my God!

The next day, Sang Yan began to stay eight feet away from Fu Huaifei, neither exchanging glances nor speaking to him as much as possible.

Whenever Fu Huaifei wanted a cup of coffee, Sang Yan would ask others to bring it to him.

Fu Huaifei:?

Fu Huaifei called him, "Xiao Sang."

Sang Yan lowered his head and just listened to Fu Huaifei's instructions without responding.

Fu Huaifei called him again, "Xiao Sang?"

Sang Yan had no choice but to answer, "You go ahead."

Both the words "Mr. Lian" were omitted.

Fu Huaifei was even more confused, "What's wrong with you?"

Sang Yan shook his head, "It's okay."

Fu Huaifei: "Why don't you look at me?"

Sang Yan took a quick look.

Xu Xun, who was watching the excitement from the side, said, "My uncle is going to chase his wife to the crematorium."

Shen Tingzhou: "...it could also be that Butler Sang is too abnormal, and he noticed it, so he is concerned."

If Sang Yan had not come to his room to find him yesterday, Shen Tingzhou might have believed that this was just a cool drama of "You ignored me yesterday, but I am out of your reach today."

Shen Tingzhou couldn't bear to see the two of them being "awkward" because of him.

Shen Tingzhou went to see Sang Yan privately and said, "You don't have to do this. I believe you."

Sang Yan's tense body suddenly relaxed, "Doctor Shen, there is really nothing between me and my husband."

At this time, the housekeeper who was passing by stopped, looked up at the sky and exclaimed.

"The night before last, I seemed to hear someone getting ready to take a shower, and someone else followed him in."

Sang Yan immediately got angry, "Don't talk nonsense, I was giving the gentleman a bath!"

Shen Tingzhou's pupils trembled: scrubbing the body is actually real!

Sang Yan explained to Shen Tingzhou again, "I am wearing clothes, and my husband is wearing a towel. Besides, my husband has low blood sugar and is prone to fainting in the bathroom. Isn't it normal for me to be outside?"

The last time Fu Huaifei "jumped into the river" was also due to hypoglycemia.

When Sang Yan went back to the car to get some candy for him, he had already been washed away by the water. An older brother who was passing by mistake thought he had jumped into the river and rescued him.

The butler held his chin and hissed, "Yesterday afternoon, why did I see two people kissing?"

Sang Yan glared at him, "Sir, something got stuck in your eyelashes. I'm going to blow his eyes out!"

The butler suddenly uttered an "eh" sound again, "Then..."

Before he could finish, Sang Yan's temples throbbed and he angrily said, "Old man, stop spreading rumors!"

The butler immediately turned around and said, "You are scolding my old man."

Sang Yan, who never spoke ill of others, covered his mouth and fled the scene in despair.

The butler left in a flash, his back looking like an immortal.

Shen Tingzhou: ...Is it really okay to bully children like this?

-

Even though he felt that the housekeeper was incompetent, Sang Yan never thought that one day he would call the old man "old man".

He hadn't even thought about this title in his mind, so how could it come out of his mouth?

Sang Yan's profession and upbringing do not allow him to reveal his true attitude so openly in front of outsiders.

He ran madly to his room as if escaping, and saw Fu Huaifei at the door.

"Sir?" Sang Yan paused, "Why are you here?"

Fu Huaifei hesitated and asked, "What happened to you today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sang Yan looked a little embarrassed, "No, it's just..."

Fu Huaifei was waiting for his "yes", Sang Yan was speechless, and after a while he said, "Doctor Shen thought I loved you, he must have believed that old man..."

Help!

Why did he blurt out calling someone an old man again!!!

Sang Yan quickly changed his words, "No, it was the butler, the butler. This must be a conspiracy between the master and the servant, it must be, they actually used vicious rumor-mongering to slander the reputation of me and my master! It is simply outrageous to both humans and gods, and it is intolerable by heaven!"

He tried to use an exciting interjection to cover up the fact that he called someone an old man.

Fu Huaifei was indeed confused and did not notice Sang Yan's slip of the tongue.

Fu Huaifei had a strange expression on his face. "You mean they are spreading rumors about us?"

"Yes, he spread rumors that I like sir."

“This is a bit outrageous.”

Sang Yan said quickly, "But I have already explained it to Doctor Shen, and he finally believed it. Don't worry."

When mentioning Shen Tingzhou, Fu Huaifei's eyes became melancholy. He tilted his head at a 39-degree angle, showing his perfect profile, and began to sing.

"My life has been full of misfortunes and hardships. The word love may be a luxury to me. Forget it, forget it."

"Sir, you must not lose heart. If you give up now, you will play into the hands of the enemy. You should confess to Dr. Shen. I believe Dr. Shen will be moved."

When he heard that he was going to confess directly, Fu Huaifei shrank back in fear.

"Isn't it too fast? What if Tingzhou is scared..."

"This is a matter that needs to be dealt with quickly. The longer you delay, the worse it will be."

After receiving ten tons of chicken blood from Sang Yan, Fu Huaifei regained hope and asked Shen Tingzhou to come out and confess his love to him.

Fu Huaifei’s way of making an appointment was very ancient. He asked Sang Yan to deliver a letter sealed with honey wax.

On the envelope were written the four words "Written by Tingzhou himself".

The letter was sprinkled with gold and scented with incense, and was very stylish. Shen Tingzhou was also shocked when he saw it.

Shen Tingzhou opened the letter. Fu Huaifei wrote two thousand words in a very proud manner. The central idea was just one sentence - see you under the vines in the backyard at nine o'clock in the evening.

After Shen Tingzhou laboriously picked out this sentence from the letter, he thought that what is supposed to come will eventually come.

At the appointed time, Shen Tingzhou put on a windbreaker and went out.

Fu Huaifei had already been waiting under the vine trellis. He was dressed up today, even down to every hair.

The person standing under the moon is more gorgeous than the camellia beside her.

Seeing Shen Tingzhou coming, Fu Huaifei immediately showed the expression of a young man in love, his cheeks flushed a little, and he timidly called him, "Tingzhou."

Tingzhou

Shen Tingzhou vaguely heard someone making strange sounds, and looking around, he seemed to see a faint shadow deep in the courtyard.

Fu Huaifei walked towards Shen Tingzhou shyly and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Tingzhou retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "It's okay."

"Tingzhou." Fu Huaifei moved closer, "I want to tell you——"

A voice interrupted, "Uncle."

Shen Tingzhou and Fu Huaifei looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall figure walking out of the darkness.

Fu Huaifei's expression changed immediately, "Why are you here?"

Xu Xun held Xiao Yin and said, "Let's take the cat for a walk."

Shen Tingzhou: ...This is the first time I heard about cat walking.

Xu Xun stroked the kitten's soft fur and asked, "What are you doing?"

Fu Huaifei couldn't say it, and Shen Tingzhou couldn't say it either.

The fourth person in the darkness was so angry that he gnashed his teeth. Why was there this Xu Xun everywhere!

Sang Yan strode out, "Sir!"

Fu Huaifei looked over and Sang Yan encouraged him with his eyes: Go ahead, confess your feelings now and win over Dr. Shen in one go!

Fu Huaifei made up his mind, turned around and took the hand of the person in front of him, "Tingzhou——"

Xu Xun's black and white eyes reflected Fu Huaifei, "My uncle is me."

Fu Huaifei shook off his hand in shock, not understanding how the person standing here changed from Shen Tingzhou to Xu Xun, and he almost made a big ethical mistake.

Fu Huaifei looked at Sang Yan again, and the other party continued to give him a firm look.

Fu Huaifei made up his mind again and confessed affectionately, "Tingzhou, since I met you three years ago, I have regarded you as my confidant. Only you can see the true intention of my painting."

Shen Tingzhou, who was pulled behind Xu Xun, was puzzled, "What painting?"

Fu Huaifei: "It's the painting you've been looking at in the exhibition hall. It's my work."

Xu Xun: "Uncle, don't you think it was the blank portrait? Doctor Shen didn't even notice it at the time. He just found a place to recite his speech."

It's a bolt from the blue!

Fu Huaifei was shaken by the cruel truth, and looked at Shen Tingzhou with a look of despair, "How could it be..."

He raised his hand and grabbed in the direction of Shen Tingzhou, "Tingzhou, is this true?"

Just as Shen Tingzhou was about to say something, Fu Huaifei covered his face with one hand, bent his neck into a beautiful arc, and said sadly: "I knew that there was no way anyone in this world could understand me, someone like me..."

As soon as Xu Xun saw his posture and tone, he knew that this was going to be a big show.

Xu Xun pulled Shen Tingzhou back a little, and calmly gave Fu Huaifei the stage to perform.

Fu Huaifei said, "How can a person like me pray for another person in the world to understand me? It's nothing but a blank piece of paper."

Sang Yan ran over and said, "Sir."

This word "sir" was full of heartache and pity.

Xu Xun knew that Sang Yan would definitely be involved in this scene.

Shen Tingzhou was still a little confused: No, this...

Sang Yan held Fu Huaifei's trembling hand with both hands, tears in his eyes, "I know how much effort you put into this work."

Xu Xun whispered in Shen Tingzhou's ear, "It's actually just a blank sheet of paper."

Shen Tingzhou:!

He asked why there was a glass frame there, and at that time he thought the museum had temporarily cancelled the work of a certain painter.

Sang Yan said, "It's not a blank sheet of paper, it's a clean world!"

Shen Tingzhou felt that this was a perfect reading comprehension.

Sang Yan: "You shine orange light on the white drawing paper, filling the world with color and warmth. Every time I look at this work, I think of my mother busy in the warm kitchen when I was a child, and I also think of you sitting in the room, with the wall lamp in the corner falling on your ivory face, and I feel peaceful in my heart."

Shen Tingzhou: Wow, what a perfect composition!

Fu Huaifei smiled sadly, "Xiao Sang, you don't have to comfort me. I know my destiny is Van Gogh, and only death can give color to my works."

Sang Yan: "How can you say that? How can Van Gogh compare to you?"

Shen Tingzhou: ...

Aesthetics is a very personal matter. In the eyes of Butler Xiao Sang, Fu Huaifei is above everything else, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Sang Yan sincerely praised, "You are excellent, handsome, and talented. I have never seen anyone more perfect than you."

Sang Yan used his full praise to praise Fu Huaifei in all aspects.

The words were so gorgeous and the writing was so embarrassing that Shen Tingzhou didn't dare to listen to it a second time. The ground was covered with his chicken rinds and beans.

Relying on his powerful language, Sang Yan successfully calmed down the beautiful and fragile gentleman and led him back to the room.

A gust of wind blew and Shen Tingzhou shivered.

On the other hand, Xu Xun was unusually calm. Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but ask, "You..."

Xu Xun said calmly: "I'm used to it."

These three words are full of stories, and Shen Tingzhou admires them sincerely.

-

The farce came to an end, and Shen Tingzhou, who was innocently implicated, felt a little embarrassed.

The next day he found Sang Yan alone and asked about Fu Huaifei's situation.

Sang Yan was exhausted and seemed to have not slept well last night, but in front of Shen Tingzhou, he was still an impeccable and perfect butler, "Sir, everything is fine, thank you for your concern."

Just as Sang Yan was about to leave, Shen Tingzhou called him again.

Sang Yan turned around, seemingly puzzled.

Shen Tingzhou hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, and asked Sang Yan, "Does Butler Sang like cats?"

Sang Yan replied cautiously, "It's OK."

Shen Tingzhou did a poor imitation of the housekeeper, "Some time ago, a friend of mine rescued a cat. From then on, the cat would deliver some things every few days. Later, my friend beat it up."

Sang Yan: ...

Shen Tingzhou: "Because it brought rats."

Sang Yan: ...

Shen Tingzhou: "When the cat brought the first mouse, my friend touched it and fed it a cat snack, which may have given it a wrong signal..."

After listening to the whole story, Sang Yan still didn't understand what Shen Tingzhou was trying to say.

Finally, Shen Tingzhou said in an unfathomable way: "Sometimes being too gentle is not a good thing, especially when giving correct feedback on something that is wrong. Don't you agree, Butler Xiao Sang?"

Sang Yan didn't understand, but his job made him accustomed to following what others said and saying, "You are right."

Shen Tingzhou looked at Sang Yan mysteriously as he left.

Although he didn't know what he was being mysterious about, he just wanted to be mysterious.

Last night, when Sang Yan was praising Fu Huaifei's looks, he kept using words like ivory white, sculpture plaster, Oedipus, etc. to describe Fu Huaifei.

Shen Tingzhou suspected that Sang Yan had unintentionally contributed to Fu Huaifei's abnormal aesthetic taste, which was white, thin and sickly.

In the past, sickly and pale beauty was popular in Europe. Nobles, both men and women, liked to put on powder and even practiced bloodletting.

-

Fu Huaifei didn't go out the whole day. He lay in the silk quilt, quietly sad and beautiful.

When Sang Yan came in with the meal tray, Fu Huaifei's expression changed. He said gloomily, "I don't want to eat."

Sang Yan looked worried, "You haven't eaten for almost a day, how can your body bear it?"

Fu Huaifei coughed weakly, "I have no appetite."

Sang Yan could only worry, "The moonlight is good today, I'll open the window, you may feel better if you get some fresh air."

Fu Huaifei nodded, lying on his side on the bed and continuing to worry.

Sang Yan lifted the heavy velvet curtains and pushed open the window. The cold moonlight poured onto the bed, making Fu Huaifei's face look even whiter, with his blood vessels faintly purple.

On normal days, Sang Yan would go outside to pick some flowers at this time.

Her husband was a man of highbrow taste, whose music was unapproachable to the masses. His life was filled with poetry and distant places, without any trace of worldly things.

But Sang Yan inexplicably remembered what Shen Tingzhou said this morning -

Sometimes being too gentle is not a good thing, especially when giving correct feedback on something that went wrong.

Sang Yan looked at the weak yet beautiful person in the moonlight, his long hair spread out beside the pillow, his face as white as snow.

Sang Yan choked up and said, "Sir, you... have lost a lot of weight."

Fu Huaifei's expression froze, and he looked at Sang Yan in shock, "What?"

Sang Yan bravely said, "You have lost weight and look ugly. No, no, you are not good-looking anymore."

He had never said such words to Fu Huaifei, let alone said them, he had never even thought about them.

What!

I'm so skinny, and I'm not good-looking?

Fu Huaifei sat up in shock from his dying illness and said in a trembling voice, "Bring me some food!"

The author has something to say:

Doctor Shen: Butler, the eternal God!

Butler Xiao Sang: Doctor Shen, my God!
