Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Cui Yulu examined Xu Zhengfan again. Fortunately, his pulse was normal and he did not have a fever, so he had pulled through.

Just as her hand touched his forehead, Xu Zhengfan suddenly opened his eyes.

When he saw that it was Cui Yulu touching his forehead, he grinned with his chapped lips.

His eyes were full of tenderness, and seemed to contain other emotions as well.

"You're awake. Here, have some water to soothe your throat."

That was the spiritual spring water that Cui Yulu brought out, which was just right for him to recover.

At this moment, Fu Xiaoyu, who was standing to the side, also woke up.

He opened his eyes and saw his wife feeding water to another man, and a wave of jealousy washed over him.

He quickly crawled over, his beautiful eyes glaring at Cui Yulu: "My wife is thirsty, she wants some water."

Cui Yulu glanced at him helplessly and had no choice but to have Xia Lan'er bring him the water.

Who knew this guy would get angry, push the water aside, and keep staring straight at Cui Yulu.

Finally, having no other choice, he had Xia Lan'er feed Xu Zhengfan water while he went over to feed him water himself.

Seeing her feed him water, Fu Xiaoyu immediately smiled and said, "My wife is so kind. I love drinking water."

Cui Yulu looked helpless. Although she knew he could drink water by himself, she still lovingly brought the water to him.

"Drink up, and get up quickly after you're done. There are lots of beautiful stones waiting for you outside."

Upon hearing the word "stone," Fu Xiaoyu immediately became interested and quickly finished drinking all the water in her cup.

Meanwhile, Xu Zhengfan, seeing Cui Yulu being called away by Fu Xiaoyu, had his expression change repeatedly, knowing he would make Cui Yulu suffer sooner or later.

Xia Lan'er handed him the water, and he chuckled and gestured, "I can do it myself, thank you, sister, I can manage."

Xia Lan'er was happy to be free, so she handed him the water cup and let him drink it himself. Anyway, he had already recovered, and she still believed in Yu Lu's medical skills.

After finishing everything here, Cui Yulu went out to prepare breakfast.

"After you finish drinking the water, rest here for a while and don't move around too much. Your body is fine now, but it's still better to be careful."

Xu Zhengfan, the mute boy, looked at her with tender eyes and gestured as he said, "Don't worry, I'm in great shape. But I'm worried about you; were you attacked by the shadowy figure?"

"Tsk tsk, this little mute is quite eloquent; he's actually concerned about you."

Lai Guitou suddenly popped his head out from underground, looked at the mute Xu Zhengfan with a wicked smile, and said.

Hearing this, Fu Xiaoyu, who was about to leave, turned back and glared at him angrily with her beautiful, dark eyes: "Don't try anything with my wife. It's not allowed. You'd better leave now. You're not welcome here."

Seeing that Fu Xiaoyu was being unreasonable again, Cui Yulu quickly pulled him over.

"Xiaoyu, don't be silly. He was injured while saving you. Have you forgotten the shadowy figure from yesterday? He's the one who saved you. You should be thanking him."

Fu Xiaoyu pouted and said angrily, "No, he didn't save me. It was the shadow that attacked me. I'm afraid of shadows. He is the shadow. He attacked me."

It turns out that last night, when the mute Xu Zhengfan went out as a shadow, he was seen by Fu Xiaoyu, who was half asleep.

Therefore, he believed that Xu Zhengfan was deceiving his wife's trust.

“He was a shadowy figure last night, I saw him. Wife, quickly chase him away.”

He initially thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but when he found himself still there this morning, he sensed something was wrong. Now, after hearing his wife's words, he understood.

"Don't talk nonsense. Everyone here knows that the little mute can transform into a shadow. But he wasn't the one who attacked you last night. You've misunderstood. Quickly apologize to him. He's the one who saved you."

"Hmph, my wife is unreasonable. He's a bad man. You have to believe me."

Seeing that none of them believed her, Fu Xiaoyu jumped up in anger and went straight to the little mute boy.

"Do you dare swear that you have nothing to do with that shadowy figure?"

The little mute looked at his enemy with a serious expression, a barely perceptible smile curving his lips, before turning to Cui Yulu with a sincere look.

“I swear, I really wasn’t the shadowy figure from last night. I didn’t mean to hurt him. Since he hates me so much, I think I should leave.”

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Cui Yulu felt a pang of sympathy. He was all alone and helpless here, and she was instantly moved with compassion.

"Xiaoyu, stop messing around. From today onwards, he is my friend. If you continue to mess around, I will never talk to you again."

Seeing that his wife was angry, Fu Xiaoyu immediately lost his temper and quickly coaxed her, saying, "Wife, don't be angry, I won't say anything more, okay? As long as you're not angry, I'll... I'll treat him as a friend too, okay?"

Seeing his dejected appearance, Cui Yulu softened.

She quickly stepped forward and patted his back, saying, "Since you're being so obedient, I won't be angry anymore. But you can't throw tantrums anymore. Can you behave properly?"

Fu Xiaoyu felt a gentle hand caressing her body, and her mood became exceptionally pleasant. Her body seemed to be anticipating such caresses.

He also craved her touch.

However, Xu Zhengfan saw all of this and wished he could be treated so gently.

"Then apologize to the little mute boy now and promise never to bully him again, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoyu refused, but seeing Cui Yulu looking at him expectantly, he had no choice but to nod helplessly: "Alright, if my wife says to apologize, I will apologize. My wife is right."

So he reluctantly came to Xu Zhengfan. The moment their eyes met, Xu Zhengfan's eyes flashed with a fleeting murderous intent.

Fu Xiaoyu saw all of this, but no one else did.

Although unwilling, she still obediently said to him, "I'm sorry, I'll listen to my wife and apologize to you. Don't think I'm weak. I just don't want to make you angry. Getting angry will make you age, and I don't want my wife to age."

These words didn't show much sincerity in the apology, but they did amuse the two people watching the commotion.

This man, who looks simple and honest, is actually quite funny when he speaks.

I wonder what he's like when he's not so silly, is he even more amusing than he is now?

They were all very curious, and didn't know if they would ever see this day.

When the mute Xu Zhengfan saw him apologize, he stopped putting on airs. Anyway, he wanted to stay here, and he cherished the warmth that Cui Yulu brought him.

I also want to stay by her side forever.

"It's okay. I know you care about your wife, and I care about her too. I won't make her angry. We'll get along well from now on, and then she won't be angry."

These words were full of provocation, and the two people beside them seemed to realize that a lively drama was about to unfold between the three of them.
