"Then why did you come out to eat? Why don't you hurry home and apply the medicine?" After scolding Shi Xu, Shi Xi said to Xie Yunzhou, "My brother and I are going home first. Goodbye."

Xie Yunzhou originally intended to take Shi Xi home, but Shi Xu interrupted him.

But what could he do?

I could only smile slightly and say it's okay.

After the two left, Sheng Yan looked at Xie Yunzhou and asked, "Are you and Shi Xi dating?"

Xie Yunzhou: "No, it's just a meal."

Sheng Yan felt that something was wrong.

But he was used to being a straight man and didn't realize anything was wrong. He just shrugged and walked away.

After returning home, Shi Xi applied the medicine to Shi Xu.

Although Grandpa Shi has heart disease, he joined the army when he was young and firmly believed in the saying "spare the rod and spoil the child" after he got married, so even when he hit him lightly, it still hurt.

Seeing the bright red mark on Shi Xu's arm, Shi Xi gasped and asked, "Didn't you know to go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine to apply?"

"I didn't remember." Shi Xu hadn't really taken this injury to heart.

As long as there's no bleeding, it's not a big deal.

Bleeding doesn't necessarily mean it's a big deal.

As Shi Xi applied the medicine to him, she was still shaken. "Thank goodness I didn't go."

Otherwise, she would definitely have cried on the spot from the pain.

“Grandpa doesn’t hit girls,” Shi Xu said. “Even when you broke his vase, he didn’t hit you.”

"Huh? When?" Shi Xi asked, confused.

“When you were little, you were scared and cried. Your grandfather scolded you, but he didn’t hit you,” Shi Xu said.

Shi Xi recalled the original owner's memories and said, "After that, Grandpa stopped liking me?"

Chronology: "After that, you rarely went to see Grandpa anymore."

Shi Xi said helplessly, "Fine, I'll bring Grandpa a vase next time I visit him."

Just as I finished applying the medicine to Shi Xu and was putting away the medicine box, Shi's father returned.

"Why are you taking the first-aid kit? Is Xixi injured?" Mr. Shi asked worriedly.

"No, it was my brother who got hit by Grandpa's stick, and I applied medicine for him." Shi Xi closed the first-aid kit.

Shi's father said disdainfully, "You cried out in pain after getting hit by a stick? And you need to apply medicine? Why are you acting like a sissy?"

Timing: "..."

"That red mark looks really painful!" Shi Xi said, defending Shi Xu.

Shi's father sat down and asked, "Why were you beaten?"

Shi Xu said calmly, "It's nothing, just a normal beating."

Are there different types of beatings, regular beatings and special beatings?

Shi Xi felt that her brother seemed to have some masochistic tendencies.

"Is it because of the engagement?" As expected of someone with experience, Mr. Shi saw through the essence of the matter at a glance.

Shi Xi nodded, immediately betraying Shi Xu, and said, "It's because of the engagement!"

"Dad, what do you think my brother should do to break off the engagement with Miss Xu without hurting Grandpa?"

Shi Xu also looked at Shi Fu.

He didn't tell his parents that he wanted to break off the engagement because he didn't want to put pressure on them.

But now it seems that experience truly matters.

He needs some outside help.

Mr. Shi leaned back on the sofa and said meaningfully, "My shoulders are a little sore after a long day at work."

Shi Xi and Shi Xu stared at each other for three seconds.

Shi Xi walked behind her father and massaged his shoulders. "Dad, is this pressure okay?"

“Sure.” Mr. Shi held out his hand. “I’m a little thirsty and would like a cup of tea.”

There was chrysanthemum tea on the table, and Shixu poured a cup for Shifu.

Shi's father said critically, "I want to drink pre-rain Longjing tea."

Timeline: ...I got up to make tea.

While Shi Xu was making tea, Shi Xi asked softly, "Dad, do you have any ideas?"

Father Shi simply said, "No, I just wanted to order you around."

Shi Xi: ...Indeed, experience counts.
