Chapter 59: My 1.9-meter-tall and extremely strong father
"Ms. Shu, we're here."
The driver stepped on the brakes and the car stopped steadily at the entrance of the community.
Shu Yue opened the door and got out of the car. The first thing that caught her attention was the flickering street light at the entrance of the community. The circuit was very unstable, sometimes dark and sometimes bright.
This is an old and dilapidated neighborhood on the outskirts of the city, far from the city center, but the rent is cheap, only about six or seven hundred yuan a month.
Zhou Lan got out of the car and looked at Shu Yue cautiously.
"Yueyue, don't worry. Your father and I will go to the city to find a house in a while. You can stay here for a few days first."
Although it is an old housing area, there are still many people living here, and almost every house with lights on has someone living in it.
Shu Yue carried her schoolbag and walked inside.
"It's okay. You don't have to go to the city to find a house. It's pretty good here."
[I used to live in a place with even worse conditions than this, in a basement with no windows, just a 1.5-meter bed and a folding table. When it rained, water leaked in, and the quilt was often damp and smelled moldy. My boss paid me 2,000 yuan a month, which was not enough to live in a big city. 】
Shu Yue had just graduated from college at that time and found a job. She was said to work in an office, but in fact she served tea and water to people every day, bowed and scraped, and smiled at people. She earned a salary of 2,000 yuan and lived in a tiny basement that cost only 500 or 600 yuan.
At that time, she didn't dare to bring her grandmother to live with her. It was not until she changed jobs and met a good boss that things got better. She rented a single room and brought her grandmother to live with her.
Shu Yue looks like the kind of girl who is carefree, innocent and simple-minded. Every time Fu Jingshen hears about her experiences, he finds it hard to imagine how she managed to get through it.
He had also experienced a lot and felt that he had suffered a lot in the past, but compared with Shu Yue, it seemed nothing. Even if his family did not like him, at least he had never lacked for food, clothing and other daily necessities.
But Shuyue has no parents and has to rely on herself for everything.
Perhaps it is because of his many experiences that Shu Yue seems indifferent to everything.
Fu Jingshen really wanted to know what it would be like for her to show her weak side.
He stared at Shu Yue's back with a curious look.
Little did he know that he had already seen Shu Yue's vulnerable side when Shu Ziming died and she cried and asked him what to do.
"You are Yueyue's friend, right? Do you want to go up and sit for a while? Her father should have prepared dinner, otherwise why don't you have a meal as a thank you for sending us back."
Zhou Lan said to Fu Jingshen.
"He must be very busy, so he won't stay for dinner."
Fu Jingshen was interrupted by Shu Yue before he could say anything.
[How could a big shot like him stay in a place like this? 】
"Yes, Auntie."
Fu Jingshen's answer stunned Shu Yue.
Zhou Lan smiled and asked him to follow.
There is no elevator in the corridor, so you can only walk up. Fortunately, the floor is relatively low, on the third floor.
Just when she was almost at the door of her house, the lights in the corridor suddenly went out. Shu Yue missed a step and fell backwards with a scream.
"careful."
Fu Jingshen stood behind her and held her with his hand.
The long hair brushed against the tip of his nose, which was a little itchy, and also brought with it an indescribable fragrance that smelled very pleasant.
Shu Yue's back was pressed against Fu Jingshen's chest. Maybe because it was too dark, her ears became particularly sensitive and she seemed to hear Fu Jingshen's heartbeat.
Boom boom boom.
[His heart is beating so fast.] 】
Fu Jingshen almost laughed out loud when he heard the heartbeat like thunder in his ears.
It was clearly her own heartbeat, why did she blame it on him?
The door was opened from the inside, light poured out, and a man with a floral apron tied around his waist, holding a spatula in one hand, poked his head out curiously and excitedly.
"Is Yueyue back?"
When Shu Yue heard the voice, she quickly stepped out of Fu Jingshen's arms, whispered a thank you, and took three or two steps up the stairs.
As soon as Shu Yue left Fu Jingshen's arms, he noticed that his heartbeat seemed to be a little too fast.
"Yueyue, this is your dad."
Zhou Lan introduced Shu Yue.
Shu Yue took a look at the man in front of her. He was at least 1.9 meters tall, with healthy wheat-colored skin. Although he was in his forties, he had a good figure, strong biceps, and the muscle lines were faintly visible under his black short-sleeved shirt.
And he is also very handsome, with some similarities between his features and Shu Yue's.
Shu Yue had imagined ten thousand different looks of the original owner's father, but she never expected that he would be this tall and strong man in front of her, who looked like he could kill her with one punch.
Even Fu Jingshen, who was 1.85 meters tall, looked inexplicably small when standing in front of him.
[My 1.9-meter-tall and extremely strong father, the impact is a bit too much, let me slow down. 】
Fu Jingshen raised his head slightly and looked at the man in front of him. He also felt an inexplicable sense of oppression. Shu Yue's father was definitely not an ordinary person.
The man looked at Shu Yue happily, "Yue Yue, come in and sit down."
Shu Yue was invited in by them.
The neighborhood was run-down and the corridors were eerie, but this home was exceptionally warm. Shu Yue looked around and saw that the overall decoration was in warm colors, and each piece of furniture was covered with floral lace plaid cloth. It was obvious that the hostess had put a lot of effort into maintaining this clean and beautiful home.
"Xiao Fu, don't stand there, come in and sit down."
Zhou Lan invited Fu Jingshen to come in.
Only then did Fu Jingshen sit awkwardly next to Shu Yue.
The man went into the kitchen to cook, and Zhou Lan poured water for them both.
Shu Yue drank some water and looked around the living room. She found a family photo hanging on the wall, but the children in the photo were only about three or four years old.
"That photo was taken when Niao Niao was three years old. We also suggested taking another one, but she didn't want to, so she kept this photo hanging," Zhou Lan explained.
Soon he said to Shu Yue, "Yueyue, don't worry, I will put this photo away tomorrow. If you want, we can pick another time to take another photo as a family."
There was a hint of expectation and caution in her eyes when she said this. She was looking forward to Shu Yue's answer, but also afraid of being rejected.
Shu Yue looked at her and smiled, "Okay, then I'll call a photographer and we'll take a photo together."
Zhou Lan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"The food is ready, come and eat."
The man shouted, and Zhou Lan invited Shu Yue and Fu Jingshen to have dinner.
"Yueyue, Xiaofu, I don't know what you two like to eat, so I made a few home-cooked dishes. My cooking skills are limited, so please don't despise me."
Shu Yue took a look at the dishes on the table. There were ten dishes in total, both meat and vegetarian. None of them were the same. Moreover, they looked delicious and appetizing.
She picked up a braised prawn nearby and took a bite.
"How is it?" The man looked at Shu Yue expectantly.
The shrimp shell is crispy, the shrimp meat is tender, the taste is neither salty nor bland, and it is not too greasy. Shu Yue's eyes lit up and she gave a thumbs up.
“Delicious! The best shrimp I’ve ever eaten!”
