Chapter 163 Humble Mr. Fu
It was approaching midnight on the snowy New Year's Eve, and the originally quiet village began to become lively again, with people setting off firecrackers in groups of three or two.
Little Xingsu lay on the windowsill, looking at the firecrackers and fireworks outside the window, his eyes sparkling: "Mom, it's so beautiful outside."
Xie Zaozao was sitting at the table, covering her nose and looking at Fu Yanzhi with disgust. She didn't bother to reply to the child. Now the table full of food just made her feel nauseous.
The sense of accomplishment and excitement from robbing Little Bear and Little Bee was gone, and all I wanted was to throw the man in front of me out.
Fu Yanzhi saw that Xie Zaozao had been covering her mouth, her face was pale, and her palm-sized face was even smaller, making her eyes look even more watery, but these watery eyes were now looking at him with resentment.
Fu Yanzhi: ...
What happened to him? He didn't intend to come to see her specially. This was not a coincidence. He knew that she was looking for honey everywhere, and thought she was hungry and had no money, so he brought her New Year's Eve dinner.
It's fine if you don't want to eat it, but why are you looking at me like an enemy?
But Fu Yanzhi remembered that he couldn't see anything, so he just pretended not to see anything and sat there directing the Shikigami to heat up the food.
When the rich smell of broth emanated, Xie Zaozao finally couldn't hold it in anymore. He vomited, covered his mouth, and ran out the door to vomit violently.
Fu Yanzhi: ...
Xie Zaozao's previous look of enjoying everything she ate was still fresh in his mind. How could she vomit like this in the blink of an eye? Fu Yanzhi finally felt that something was wrong.
"What's wrong with you?"
As he spoke, he looked at Xie Zaozhao with some worry, then he saw Xie Zaozhao shudder and cover her face with her hands, so his gaze shifted back.
"Let me help you take a look."
As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Xie Zaozao's wrist, ready to take her pulse.
[Ding, host, please be cautious in handling any contact with Mr. Fu, to avoid leaking the plot prematurely and causing a plot breakdown.]
Xie Zao Zao said, "Can your plot get any worse? He's blind, my face is wrapped up like a bag, what else do you want? If you have the guts, delete the scene where he runs to the village!"
The main system is silent.
Xie Zaozao poked her wrist in front of Fu Yanzhi in anger: "Come, help me see what's wrong with you."
Fu Yanzhi looked at it.
Then……
Suddenly I was petrified.
After a while, he stiffly withdrew his fingers, coughed dryly, and silently asked the shikigami to move all the food on the table away. He said in a friendly manner, "What do you want to eat?"
Xie Zao Zao: “Heh.”
Fu Yanzhi said softly, "Don't be angry, you have to eat something."
Xie Zaozao: “Ugh…”
Fu Yanzhi was a little anxious. He took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Xie Zaozao's forehead. After wiping a few times, Xie Zaozao glared at him and asked, "Why are you so affectionate to someone else's woman?"
Fu Yanzhi was holding a handkerchief in his hand, and he was actually a little bit at a loss. After being scolded by Xie Zaozao, he did not react in particular. Instead, he sat there for a while and admitted his fault: "I was rude."
Xie Zaozao raised her voice, pulled the handkerchief from Fu Yanzhi's hand and wiped the sweat off her face.
System: ...You are not very decent at all when you snatch another man's handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
Their current situation is that he knows who she is, he knows that she knows who he is, and although she knows who he is, she has to pretend that she doesn't know who he is.
The system looks confused.
Given Mr. Fu's personality, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for too long, so he let Xie go out and stand early.
It’s not like we haven’t had children before. Once we’ve had them, we don’t really care about them anymore.
This is what the system thought, but Fu Yanzhi was obviously more patient.
He stood up and put his cloak on Xiao Xingsu, who was lying by the window. Then he opened the window and asked Xie Zaozao, "Will this be better?"
Xie Zao Zao covered her mouth and didn't say anything. She still looked uncomfortable.
Fu Yanzhi was a little at a loss.
After finding out that Xie Zaozao was pregnant, he was quite excited, but he didn't dare to show too much excitement. He just stood up and paced around the room for a few steps, then sat back down silently.
He had no experience in taking care of a pregnant woman, and since she pretended not to know him, he had no idea how to care for her.
He really didn't know what to do, and he didn't dare to ask her too much about her well-being. Mr. Fu had never felt so aggrieved in his life, so he had to stand up and walk around the room again.
Xiao Xingsu watched Fu Yanzhi walking around the room with a bitter and resentful expression, but he would stop from time to time, revealing a mixture of helplessness and joy.
Little Xingsu muttered, "Did Daddy get scared crazy by Mommy?"
He crouched there and waved at Fu Yanzhi: "Dad——"
Xie Zaozao: "Cough, vomit——"
Xiao Xingsu: "Uncle..."
System: “…” Your biological father is there, and you ask him to call you uncle. Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Fu will think too much and think that your second ball is someone else’s ball?
Obviously Fu Yanzhi didn't think so, because in his eyes, a woman like Xie Zaozao was not someone that ordinary people would be able to attract.
He looked at his son whom he hadn't seen for a long time, with tenderness in his eyes. He leaned over and touched his hair: "What's wrong?"
Little Xingsu came over and hugged Fu Yanzhi's neck affectionately, whispering in his ear: "Mom doesn't vomit when she eats honey and sweet things."
So, that night, the bears and bees that had originally returned to the mountains to live peacefully were taken out and beaten again, and the only remaining honey stored for the winter was snatched away without a drop left.
Fortunately, Fu Yanzhi left some food for them, otherwise they would have gone to the village again on New Year's Eve.
Xie Zaozao was speechless as she watched Fu Yanzhi go out in the middle of the night in the wind and snow, and come back with a few jars of honey.
"I left it for them specially, how did you snatch it away again?"
Fu Yanzhi explained: "I left plenty of sugar and grain for them, so they won't starve to death."
Xie Zao Zao said "oh" and sighed.
Fu Yanzhi asked: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Xie Zao Zao breathed a sigh of relief. She had tried the spiritual spring water and the panacea, but they only gave her temporary relief.
Fu Yanzhi didn't know what to do: "Let me massage your acupoints."
After he finished speaking, afraid that Xie Zaozao would say something about being abrupt, he quickly added, "Anyway, I can't see it, so it's not abrupt."
Xie Zaozao looked at Fu Yanzhi's cautious look, somewhat confused, and asked the system: "Why is he suddenly so humble?"
System: "...Because you are his woman, and you are pregnant with his ball."
Xie Zaozao: "He probably didn't recognize me!"
The system thought to itself, "With your perfunctory acting, who do you really think you can fool? It must be that the main system is already malfunctioning due to a bug, otherwise you'd all be getting electrocuted."
Xie Zao Zao said confidently: "If he doesn't say it, then he doesn't know."
The system turned to look at Fu Yanzhi. Fu Yanzhi put away the honey he had brought, cleaned the room, moved the food on the table away, and took Xiao Xingsu to eat.
After feeding the child and cleaning the house, he saw chestnuts in the charcoal brazier, so he went outside and carried a bag of them and roasted a large brazier for her.
After everything was cleaned up, he carefully sat in front of Xie Zaozao and rubbed the acupuncture point on her wrist.
System: "You are the first person in the world to let Mr. Fu clean your house and give you a massage..."
Xie Zaozao: "Maybe he has a good heart and is willing to help others."
System: ...As long as you are happy.
But I never expected that the helpful Mr. Fu could be even more humble.
