Chapter 289: I haven't proposed yet
Fu Jingshen's voice was mixed with a hint of crying, and Shu Yue felt uncomfortable listening to it.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. She must choose one between the two.
Fu Jingshen leaned on her shoulder, and soon his breathing became smooth.
"Xiao Fu looks quite drunk. I'll have someone prepare a guest room for him."
Bai Qing stood up and asked someone to clean up the guest room. Shu Yue quickly stopped her, "Aunt, I can just take him back. No need to bother cleaning up the room."
Shu Yue was mainly afraid that Fu Jingshen would get drunk and say something again. It would be so embarrassing with so many people around.
"Please stay here. This will save you the trouble of running back and forth." Since Mr. Bai had already spoken, it would be unreasonable for Shu Yue to refuse. She could only nod.
After the guest room was cleaned up, Shu Yue helped Fu Jingshen in.
Last time he was just a little drunk, but today Mr. Bai forced him to drink so much that he fell asleep on the bed.
He was very well behaved. He didn't make a fuss or vomit. He just lay quietly on the bed, hugging his pillow and sleeping.
Shu Yue took a wet towel to wipe his face. Feeling the coldness on his face, Fu Jingshen opened his eyes slightly and looked for a long time before he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Shu Yue.
He held Shu Yue's hand and said, "My head hurts."
"Let me rub it for you."
Shu Yue sat over, and Fu Jingshen moved consciously and rested his head on Shu Yue's thigh. Shu Yue then reached out to massage his head.
Fu Jingshen hummed comfortably, like a kitten.
After a while, he fell asleep again, mumbling in his sleep, "Shu Yue..."
"Um?"
Unable to hear what he said clearly, Shu Yue lowered her head and moved closer, trying to hear clearly.
"I really really really really like you."
I can't count how many truths he said.
Shu Yue smiled and said, "Fu Jingshen, I think you are not a love-brained person, you are a Shu Yue-brained person."
"Um."
Fu Jingshen turned over, hugged Shu Yue's waist, and buried his head in her belly.
Smelling her scent, I feel very reassured.
When he woke up the next day, Fu Jingshen had a severe headache, as if he was hit hard with a brick.
He looked around but didn't see Shu Yue. She might be sleeping in another room.
He got up and walked to the private bathroom in the room, where there were brand new towels and toiletries, as well as clean and fitting clothes. He took a shower to wash off the smell of alcohol, and only after his mind became clearer did he open the door and go out.
I saw that everyone in the Bai family was busy.
"Where should we move the things? Yes, yes, yes. We need red. Red is festive."
"These flowers are not pretty. Change them quickly."
"If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the point of having you?"
Old Master Bai was directing things here and there, and was busier than yesterday.
Fu Jingshen rubbed his head and went down, "Good morning, Grandpa..."
Before he could finish his words, Mr. Bai looked over, raised his hand and waved, and someone grabbed Fu Jingshen and took him away. He was confused and was stuffed into a room, and then someone handed him clothes and gestured to him.
Shu Yue was completely asleep and hadn't even opened her eyes when she was pulled out of bed.
"Don't touch me, I'm grumpy. I know Chinese Kung Fu, I can beat ten people with one punch."
"Oh sister, I'm really sleepy, don't push me, I want to go back to sleep."
Shu Yue's voice came from the door. Fu Jingshen turned his head to look. She was still in her pajamas, her hair was messy and her eyes were half-closed, obviously still in a dream.
Fu Jingshen walked past the people next to him towards Shu Yue and took her hand.
Shu Yue squinted her eyes and saw Fu Jingshen, then suddenly fell into his arms.
"I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep with you."
Fu Jingshen coughed lightly when he heard this, and the people around him looked at them secretly.
"Shu Yue."
"Well, did you take a shower? You smell like nice shower gel. It smells so good."
Shu Yue sniffed Fu Jingshen's scent like a puppy, her head resting on his shoulder. Smelling the scent on his neck, Shu Yue couldn't help but kiss him.
"This smells good, I like it."
Fu Jingshen blushed, "Stop making trouble."
"I'm not making a fuss. I just dreamed about you. I dreamed that you kissed me..." Shu Yue's words were blocked by Fu Jingshen.
"Woo woo woo." Shu Yue protested.
"Good morning, Grandpa." Fu Jingshen looked at Mr. Bai who came in and greeted him awkwardly.
"Okay, okay." Mr. Bai smiled, "You two should hurry up and get dressed. The ceremony starts at noon. Don't be late."
"Ceremony? What ceremony?" Fu Jingshen was confused.
Shu Yue was even more confused. She hadn't woken up yet and her brain was still in a state of shutdown.
"Of course it's your engagement ceremony. Stop wasting time and change your clothes and put on makeup quickly. Also, wake Yueyue up." After saying this, Mr. Bai left without giving Fu Jingshen a chance to ask any questions.
Shu Yue finally came to her senses at this time.
She was just dazed as if in a dream, but suddenly she woke up when she heard the word "engagement".
"Engagement? What engagement? Who's engaged to whom?"
Fu Jingshen pulled the corner of his mouth, "It seems to be our engagement ceremony."
"Me? You?"
Shu Yue felt that she was not fully awake yet and needed to go back to sleep again.
Just as she was about to leave, she was pulled back.
"Miss, hurry up and wash and get ready for makeup, or you'll be too late."
Shu Yue was forced to wash and put on makeup, and then someone pushed over a dozen dresses in various styles and colors.
"Miss, please pick one."
Shu Yue's eyes were dazzled by what she saw.
"Do I have to wear it?"
"Yes."
While Shu Yue was still struggling over which outfit to wear, she heard the sound of the door clicking. She looked over and saw it was Fu Jingshen.
He changed into a new Chinese-style suit with golden ginkgo embroidery on his shoulders. The flowing texture was very eye-catching. I have seen him wearing suits many times, but this is the first time I see him wearing this type. It makes his whole temperament become elegant and easy-going, adding a different flavor.
Shu Yue stared at him closely, and Fu Jingshen looked down, "Isn't it strange?"
Shu Yue shook her head, stood up and walked towards him, "Not strange, very good-looking and handsome."
"I was just struggling over which dress to choose, and now seeing you dressed like this gives me an idea."
Shu Yue pointed at the red cheongsam, which indeed matched the one Fu Jingshen was wearing.
"Are we really going to get engaged? I haven't proposed to you yet, and... you may not be willing yet." Fu Jingshen frowned slightly.
"I'm not unwilling, I'm just hesitant. But when I saw you wearing this dress, it seemed like it was okay."
"Besides, it's just an engagement, not an immediate marriage."
Shu Yue raised her hand and touched Fu Jingshen's head. "Don't worry, but grandpa is so anxious. Why is he so anxious?"
"He is ill."
I don’t know when Zhou Lan came in, she didn’t look very well.
She handed the medical record in her hand to Shu Yue. Shu Yue opened it and took a look. It clearly stated that Mr. Bai had malignant lung cancer.
