"How could it be?" Fu Ciyi's expression was cold, "It's just..."
Yan Funing looked puzzled: "Just what?"
"Don't you think that me, a grown man, pretending to be affectionate with you..." The word "affectionate" was not easy for him to say. After a long pause, he added, "Pretending to be affectionate is like children playing house."
She frowned and sighed, "That's right. I'm sorry to trouble you. Let's do whatever we have to do tomorrow. I hope Caiyu can come back to me, and I can get your books back. I mainly want to piss off Yan Haitang. She knelt today, so she probably won't want to see me tomorrow."
There is no need to pretend to be in love.
He opened his thin lips and said, "I will cooperate with you."
Yan Funing nodded: "Thank you very much."
It's really difficult for him.
It is really difficult for a pure young man who preaches to her that men and women should keep a distance and not touch each other to act affectionately with her.
After all the villagers left, Wan Niang took Fu Beimo and the others back to the main hall, where they happily discussed the changes in the Yan family's expressions.
Only Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing knew that getting all the books back tomorrow would be a difficult task.
Although there will be a car to pick him up tomorrow, the Fu family will definitely not send a car to deliver his books.
Fu Ciyi left the west wing and said to Li Xinheng, "Xinheng, you will also drive to the county town tomorrow. I need your ox cart to bring the book back."
Fu Beimo said, "Brother has a lot of books. I'll go there tomorrow too."
Ali said he wanted to go too.
--
The next morning, Fu Ciyi ordered Li Xinheng to set off early, and the ox cart carried Fu Beimo and Ali.
The oxcart was moving slowly, and after the Yan family's carriage took Yan Funing and him to the county town, the oxcart would probably arrive in a while.
In this way, the timing is just right.
An hour after the ox cart set off, the Yan family's horse carriage arrived at the village.
Yan Funing asked Li's mother to help look after the house, said goodbye to her mother-in-law and Fu Nanyao, and then walked to the carriage with the support of Fu Ciyi.
It was difficult to use force on my injured legs and feet, so getting on the bus became a challenge.
Fu Ciyi silently placed his hands under her armpits and lifted her into the car like a child.
One foot left the ground, and her sight instantly rose higher, causing Yan Funing's heart to beat wildly.
Thinking that her screaming would worry her mother-in-law, she suppressed the urge to scream and quickly grabbed the car door.
How much strength does he have?
He actually lifted her whole body up so high without any effort at all.
Fu Ciyi stepped into the car and saw that her face looked like a frightened deer, her eyelashes fluttering. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yan Funing shook her head.
At this time, Wan Niang waved her hand and urged: "Ci Yi, take good care of Fu Ning!"
Fu Ciyi agreed and helped Yan Funing into the carriage.
Only when the sound of the carriage could no longer be heard did Wan Niang return to the house with the help of Fu Nan Yao and Li's mother.
Inside the carriage, Fu Ciyi sat upright, his eyes lowered, his expression indifferent: "Why were you so panicked just now?"
She always reveals fear inadvertently.
As if he were a monster.
"I'm not panicking."
The space was cramped, and sitting next to him, the invisible pressure from him made her heart beat like a drum.
Yan Funing moved slightly to the side.
You can't blame her. At this moment, his tone was cold, just like the sinister and powerful official in the book.
Plus, he was so strong that he could easily lift her up. It would be a lie if she said she wasn't panicking.
She could imagine that if she tried to run, he would grab her fragile neck and lift her up with one hand.
With a force from the big hand, there was a snap, the neck was broken, and the life was gone.
Fu Ciyi lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at her: "Are you not panicking? Why are you sitting down now?"
When this person wasn't smiling, he looked frighteningly cold. Yan Funing swallowed hard, and raised the corners of her lips: "I want to sit by the window and look at the spring scenery outside."
As she spoke, she stood on one foot.
Who would have thought that the wheel would run over a stone and the whole carriage would shake.
She was originally standing on one leg, which was very unstable. With this shock, she fell straight onto someone who was sitting upright.
Seeing this, Fu Ciyi quickly stretched out his hands and grabbed her waist.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Her hands rested on his shoulders, his gaze fixed on her chest, and his hands were on her waist.
Soft and slender waist.
In the past, I hugged her while standing, with my hands on her shoulders and back; I hugged her sideways a few times, with one hand on her back and the other on her knee.
I have never touched her waist like this before.
And at this moment, he really knew how thin the girl's waist was.
The waist is slender, not even one hand can hold it, and it is graceful and elegant.
What’s even worse is——
The car shook again, and her soft body shook, and her chest trembled as well.
Fu Ciyi's eyes darkened, and he lowered his eyes hurriedly. He put his hands under her armpits and put her to the window seat.
Yan Funing's heart was still trembling, and she was still immersed in the state of almost falling. When he put her on the seat with a dazed look on her face, she came to her senses.
"Thank goodness for you."
She held her chest, still in shock.
"Yeah." Fu Ciyi responded lightly and clenched his fists to control his emotions.
After a while, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
All the way into the city, Yan Funing lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at the spring scenery outside, and occasionally glanced at him.
He kept his eyes closed the whole time.
Could it be that you didn’t sleep well last night and are feeling sleepy now?
But why are his ears so red?
She wanted to ask, but the person was asleep, so she didn't dare to ask.
Fu Ciyi didn't open his eyes until they entered the county town and the carriage stopped at the gate of the Yan family.
"Are you awake?" Yan Funing looked concerned.
Fu Ciyi nodded slightly.
"Didn't you sleep well last night?" She stared at his ears carefully. "Your ears were very red just now, and they are still a little red now."
Fu Ciyi coughed lightly: "I slept normally, my ears are probably hot."
Suddenly, Caiyu's excited voice came from outside the car: "Miss, Miss!"
Fu Ciyi helped the man out of the carriage.
Outside the car, Yan Gui and a group of people were waiting, and Cai Yu was among them.
Seeing her come out, Yan Gui raised his hand and ordered two servants to carry a chair forward: "The second young lady is back. She has injured her legs and feet, so she is sitting on the chair. Ask the servants to carry her in."
Seeing that the two servants carrying the chair had shifty looks, Fu Ciyi picked up Yan Funing and carried her sideways with an expressionless face and walked straight to the door.
Yan Gui smiled awkwardly: "It would be even better if the Second Uncle held the Second Miss."
He took a few quick steps and raised his hand to invite: "Second uncle, please follow me this way."
Caiyu was stunned when she saw Fu Ciyi holding her young lady.
After realizing what was happening, he trotted after her and made faces at Yan Funing.
Previously at the Fu Mansion, the young lady came to secretly look at her. At that time, Fu Ciyi was holding her young lady's hand, and now he actually hugged her.
Although the young lady's legs and feet were injured and it was inconvenient for her to walk.
But looking at the young lady's appearance, she didn't seem to be embarrassed at all when being held like that.
Caiyu was very confused.
Yan Funing was not in a position to explain to Caiyu at the moment, so she could only give her an expression that promised to explain later.
Yan Gui led the people all the way to the front hall.
Sitting in the main seats in the hall were Old Master Yan and Old Lady Yan, and sitting below them were Uncle Yan and his wife, and Second Master Yan and his wife.
When Mrs. Yan saw Yan Funing, she became furious.
