Fu Yin didn't say anything, but just stared at Shen Huaixu for a long time with his dark green eyes, and there seemed to be ripples in his eyes.

He suddenly leaned forward, his inky hair falling in front of him, enveloping Shen Huaixu in a world of his own making.

Shen Huaixu's relaxed body tensed up reflexively for a moment due to his sudden approach, but quickly relaxed again after realizing who was in front of her. She looked at the sculpture-like face in front of her with undisguised admiration and amusement in her eyes.

She moved closer, pretending to be concerned and asked softly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Her ink-like hair made her skin look as white as snow. There was a hint of cunning in her dark eyes, and her red lips were moving up and down.

The two were very close to each other, but Fu Yin seemed unable to hear what she was saying.

His pupils trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to step back a few steps, but he forced himself to hold back. He had to try his best to turn his head away and not look, but raised his hand to pinch Shen Huaixu's earlobe.

It was so soft that he couldn't bear to use even a little bit of strength.

He thought to himself, humans are truly strange. Some appear weak and pitiful, yet are in reality vicious and cruel; others appear indestructible, yet are actually fragile and delicate to the touch.

He didn't want to let go of her hand, so he lowered his head. The soft light of the mermaid pearl cast their shadows on the curtain, as if it was a real hug.

In fact, Fu Yin's most outrageous action was just that unruly hand.

He maintained this posture, his voice calm and composed as he accused, "I heard you were going on a blind date? This body of yours is just a cub's. I would feel guilty even touching it. How could you possibly go on a blind date?"

Feeling guilty?

Chen Huaixu felt the cool fingertips falling on his ear, and glanced at Fu Yin's profile as he was about to land on his shoulder.

But you can't see it at all.

She pulled his hand, which was treating her like a toy, and put her head on Fu Yin's shoulder without any hesitation.

She didn't know how many times she had held Fu Tuan in her arms before, but now he was too big for her to hold. However, that didn't stop her from feeling familiar with Fei Yuan in front of her.

Fu Yin knew where her minefield was, so he never took a step beyond it. But it didn't matter. Fu Yin knew everything about her, and she could approach him without any hesitation.

Feeling faintly sleepy, she mumbled, "Blind date? Where did that rumor come from? Don't wrongly accuse me."

When Shen Huaixu leaned on his shoulder, Fu Yin's whole body stiffened and he stopped moving. After a while, he finally reacted and whispered in a hoarse voice, "Yes, it's a rumor."

After a pause, he continued, "That man is not as good-looking as me, you must look down on him."

I don’t know whether I was speaking to Shen Huaixu or to myself.

The breathing of the person beside his neck gradually became light and long. Fu Yin, who had been stiff for a long time, closed his eyes and then moved.

He loosely put his arms around the person in his arms, resting his chin on her shoulder, solidifying the hug.

That night, Fu Yin stayed in Shen Huaixu's bedroom again and slept on the small couch. When he woke up the next day, he swept away all his fatigue from the previous day. After looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, he disappeared quietly in the room.

Daily chores are complicated and lengthy. Chen Huaixu goes out to see patients every day, and at home he has to look after the account books and manage household affairs. He is very busy every day.

As the weather grew cooler, the ladies of the capital began to hold autumn banquets one after another.

Chaohua had this idea a long time ago, but what she wanted to do was the autumn hunt.

As soon as he prepared the invitation, he came to the residence of Marquis Xuanping in person, and said warmly that he took Chen Huaixu to heart and came to deliver it personally. In fact, he had a quarrel with his mother about the blind date, and was uncomfortable being confined at home, so he used Chen Huaixu as an excuse to come out and get some fresh air.

Chen Huaixu has been busy for so long and wants to go out for a leisurely stroll on a clear and cool autumn day.

As she accepted the invitation, she asked, "Why do you want to go hunting? Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the chrysanthemums, eat some autumn fruits, and talk about poetry?"

Chao Hua sneered, "Can't you be more ambitious? Whoever wins the first prize in this hunt will be rewarded with a treasure I've treasured for years. You're a skilled hunter, so you'll definitely win. It's a good thing I don't mind giving away."

Chen Huaixu threw away the medical book in his hand and asked in confusion: "If you are so reluctant to let go, why do you want to give up the treasure? And you still want to embarrass me..."

She glanced at Chao Hua distrustfully and said, "If I win first place, you won't want the treasure back, will you?"

Chao Hua was furious. "Am I that kind of person?"

Shen Huaixu immediately said, "I was mistaken. I'm sorry."

Sometimes this kind of flexible attitude really makes people feel suffocated, at least Chaohua feels a little blocked in his heart.

She held it in for a moment, "You know my maternal family has come to Beijing, right?"

Shen Huaixu nodded.

"I have a cousin who has always been at odds with me. When she came to the Eastern Palace, she fell in love with my piece of jewelry that read 'Golden Cicada Perched on Jade Branch'. She tried to provoke me, and I accidentally fell for her trick..." She curled her lips. "She's an expert rider and archer, and I won't let her succeed no matter what."

Ever since he last met Yun Zhi, Chen Huaixu asked Shuangjiang to check the situation of the Yun family. He learned that the old man of the Yun family had two wives. When his first wife died, she only left behind a daughter, who was Chaohua's mother. His second wife gave birth to two sons.

She frowned, "The Yun family will go too?"

She didn't want to meet the guy named Yunzhi, it would be troublesome.

"Well, they're eager to see me give up the treasure... By the way, I've heard some rumors recently. Some people say that my grandfather's family wants to form an alliance with yours, and Yunzhi has even approached your father... Is this true?" She looked worried.

Shen Huaixu snorted and laughed, "My father is not anxious about my marriage, why should others be anxious?"

Chao Hua let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief. "Don't worry, my mother won't spoil anyone except my grandfather. If you have any problems, be sure to tell me. As for my third cousin, stay away from him if you can. He... is a bit of a playboy."

This was the most tactful comment Chaohua could make.

"Okay, I remember." Chen Huaixu responded with a smile in his eyes.

Chaohua looked at Chen Huaixu's smile, remembered what his second brother had asked him, and couldn't help falling into deep thought.

Second brother said that General Fu is interested in Mingyi?

She had also vaguely sensed this, and what was strange was that her second brother, who had always been slow to react to such things, actually realized it.

Also, Mingyi never mentioned the matter of supporting Yin after returning from Nanxia.

She pursed her lips and asked carefully, "By the way, you were in Nanxia when General Fu met with an accident. I wonder if his body has been found?"

Shen Huaixu shook his head. "It's a thousand-foot cliff, deep in the dense forest, with many snakes, insects, rats and ants. It's not that easy to find."

Chaohua carefully observed Chen Huaixu and found that she looked normal, so she breathed a sigh of relief. She said that her second brother was worrying about nothing, as Chen Huaixu was clearly not yet enlightened.

The two of them sighed over this matter and talked for a while. Before leaving, Chaohua remembered something.

"By the way, I haven't seen Jiang Sanlang, Jiang Wei and the others in a while. Why not invite them to join us for the hunt in three days? It will be more fun with more people!"

Chen Huaixu thought of Jiang Sanlang, who was so tanned that he almost didn't recognize him, and suppressed a smile, "My third brother has been very busy lately, so I'll take my sister with me."
