The little head nodded eagerly and helplessly.
She didn't know why the pain suddenly started; it was a dull ache that felt like a knife cutting into her flesh, making her extremely uncomfortable.
Fu Huaijin's expression suddenly changed. He thought about the baby in her belly, and the words "stomach ache" really hit his sensitive heart.
His eyes showed a hint of panic as he placed his large hand on her white belly. The moment he touched it, he could feel something churning inside.
The child is too young, so it's probably not.
"Bear with it for now, I'll take you to find Chu Juan." After saying that, he ignored the astonished crowd inside, picked up the little fox, and left without looking back.
The abandoned group looked at each other in bewilderment. They had just been talking about the life and death of the Fu family, and he had just left them all hanging here for a fox.
Chu Juan was sorting medicinal herbs in the pharmacy when he heard hurried footsteps. He looked up and saw Fu Huaijin rushing in, carrying a little fox.
"Chu Juan, come and take a look at me. She says her stomach hurts."
A few doubts arose in Chu Juan's mind. He glanced at the little fox, whose expression was pained, and wondered if he should give it a heads-up.
"I am not a veterinarian."
"You examine her first." Fu Huaijin's tone was full of panic. He didn't care if the doctor was a veterinarian or not, as long as he was a doctor.
Looking at the little fox sweating profusely from the pain, he felt an overwhelming pity for her, wishing he could take her pain upon himself.
"It'll stop hurting soon, don't worry."
He spoke with a hint of reproach to Chu Juan, who was still dawdling: "Come and see, can't you see she's in so much pain?"
He should have taken him to someone else; he was just used to coming to Chu Juan first when there was a problem.
Chu Juan frowned, his gaze shifting back and forth between himself and the fox. After a moment of silence, he slowly walked towards the little fox.
It must be admitted that this fox is really beautiful. It has classic, alluring fox eyes, flawless white fur, smooth and shiny fur, and a natural fragrance. You can tell at a glance that it has been carefully raised by its owner.
The most unique feature is the fox tail, which has two golden patterns on it. They are very bright, almost eerily so.
He tried to look away, but the thing seemed to have some kind of attraction, making it impossible for him to look away.
Just as he was about to forcibly move away, a white light flashed before his eyes. The blinding white light made his pupils shrink. Sensing danger, he subconsciously closed his eyes.
"Chu Juan, are you going to look or not?" Fu Huaijin clearly had little patience.
Chu Juan heard someone call his name, and he suddenly opened his eyes. He looked around, but there was nothing unusual in front of him. He looked back at the pattern, but he couldn't see anything unusual either.
But just now... He looked up and met Fu Huaijin's stern anger: "Look."
He recalled the strangeness from earlier and reached out to try and pry open the fox's eyes to look at its pupils, but before his hand could even touch the little fox, it turned its head away and kept burrowing into Fu Huaijin's arms, unwilling to let him touch it.
Foxes are naturally averse to being touched by strangers, so it's normal for them to be wary of strangers.
Chu Juan's hand moved to touch its belly, but before he could touch it, Fu Huaijin slapped his hand away, looking at him warily: "What are you trying to do?"
"Let me touch its belly."
"No way." Fu Huaijin refused outright. Was his stomach something he could just touch like that?
Chu Juan was speechless, feeling both amused and exasperated: "If it won't let me see it, and you won't let me touch it, how am I supposed to get medical treatment?"
Fu Huaijin's expression darkened, clearly indicating that he had also thought of this.
He placed his hand on the little fox's belly and gently rubbed it: "She probably ate something wrong and has gas in her stomach. Do you have any medicine to help her calm down?"
Chu Juan nodded: "Yes, I'll halve the dosage and let it drink it to see."
"Go and get it done quickly." Fu Huaijin continued to gently massage her lower abdomen with his large hands, not forgetting to observe her mental state: "Are you feeling any better? Do you want some water?"
Su Yuxi shook her head slightly, humming softly, and curled her body into a ball, only in this way could her stomach not hurt so much.
Chu Juan looked at them very strangely. He tightened his jaw and turned to prescribe medicine for the little fox...
After he finished getting all the medicine, Fu Huaijin tossed him a piece of paper and made a shushing gesture, half-covering his lips, indicating with his eyes that he should keep quiet so as not to disturb the little fox that had just fallen asleep in his arms.
Chu Juan took the paper and glanced at it. A few words were written on it: the little fox is pregnant.
The pregnancy itself wasn't a problem, but seeing Fu Huaijin coaxing the little fox to sleep like a baby was just bizarre. Was he really his brother? Was he really mentally sound?
He pursed his lips, nodded helplessly, and looked at him with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Perhaps we should have him take a mental health test when we have time.
"How many months pregnant are you?" He took out his phone and typed out the question.
Fu Huaijin lowered his gaze and mentally estimated a time.
After Chu Juan looked at it, his gaze fell on the little belly. Foxes usually have a pregnancy period of about two to three months and can give birth to six to eight cubs at a time. Now, the abdomen does not have an obvious bulge. Is it true that she is really more than a month pregnant?
He looked away and silently added another ingredient to the medicine to help prevent miscarriage.
After the medicine was prepared, Su Yuxi still hadn't woken up. Although she was asleep, her tightly furrowed brows showed no sign of easing, indicating that she had been suffering from severe abdominal pain.
Fu Huaijin couldn't bear to wake her, knowing that waking her would only bring her endless pain. So he fed her the medicine drop by drop, wiping away any spilled drops with a tissue. When she struggled to wake from her deep sleep, he gently coaxed her back to sleep before continuing to feed her.
His thoughtful and meticulous manner truly surprised Chu Juan.
Although his behavior is unpredictable, one thing is certain: this brother will definitely be a good father in the future. It's just a matter of when Su Yuxi will be able to come back.
After Fu Huaijin carefully fed her the medicine, her brow visibly relaxed, indicating that the medicine was working.
"Alright, you can go now if there's nothing else."
Chu Juan opened his mouth, but seeing his caring manner, he hesitated several times before finally leaving without uttering a single word, carrying the medicine bowl.
Fu Huaijin held her for half an hour, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he took her home.
When he got home, he tried to put the little fox on the bed to sleep, but as soon as he touched the bed, the little fox started to whine.
After trying twice, he had no choice but to carry her, even taking her with him to work, refusing to let anyone else do it, for fear that someone might break the little fox.
Two days passed in a blur, and Su Yuxi felt her stomach pain had lessened, so she was finally willing to get out of bed.
The old lady's health has also improved significantly, and she keeps saying she wants to see her granddaughter-in-law. However, her grandson dotes on his granddaughter-in-law and always makes excuses to avoid it. Either she still needs to recover, or her granddaughter-in-law's health doesn't allow it. This back and forth goes on for several days at a time.
This morning, the old lady threw another tantrum and refused to take her medicine. She insisted on video calling her granddaughter-in-law, and kept putting it off. I don't know when she'll finally take it off.
Many people know about Su Yuxi's disappearance. They can't find her a granddaughter-in-law, but they can't let the old lady torment herself like this.
To appease the old lady, the group discussed creating an AI-generated image for her, a technique that would go undetected unless one was a professional.
An old lady with failing eyesight would naturally not be able to notice.
