Despite his gentle and clean appearance, dressed in a white shirt, Fu Zhu looks like a gentle male god from a campus romance novel.
In fact, he has a terrible temper and speaks rudely. Although he is a water-controlling divine beast, he cannot extinguish his own fire.
The white antlers on its forehead, miniaturized to fit its face shape, shimmer with a flowing firefly light, while the red of its forked tail is also strikingly beautiful.
Lu Shu's courage, which he had just mustered, vanished in an instant.
There's a reason he liked Fu Zhu; it started with his looks and he was captivated by his talent.
Now, it's all gone, like smoke in the wind; it ended before it even began.
They're probably what people often call "not meant to be." You see, this guy won't even talk to her properly.
Lu Shu's heart was shattered.
Fu Zhu glanced at the dejected and lonely Lu Shu on the sofa, then lowered his eyelids.
His voice was clear and cold, his tone unhurried: "Go back. This matter has nothing to do with you."
Lu Shu jumped up from the sofa, "I must do what I promised Xiao Wuyue."
"Believe it or not, I'll take care of you first?" Fu Zhu suddenly leaned down, and Lu Shu was so frightened that he sat back down.
The boy braced his hands on the edge of the sofa, pulling Lu Shu into his arms. His face was gentle, but his eyes were icy, like shards of ice: "Lu Shu, mind your own business!"
Fu Zhu withdrew, giving him a final warning: "Go back."
"..."
Outside the door came Wu Tingyun's soft, sweet voice: "Daddy, can Auntie come with us tomorrow night? Auntie is pretty, she'll give us food, and she'll take care of us. Xiao Nian and I both like her very much."
"Does Xiao Nian like her aunt?" Another voice rang out; it was Wu Cunxu.
Fu Zhu turned his head and glanced at the doorway; the footsteps and voices were getting closer. He paused, then quickly grabbed Lu Shu's arm and jumped out of the window with him.
"Gah—"
The door to the room opened from the outside, and a man and two children appeared in the doorway, dressed in pajamas.
“Many of the older brothers and sisters you know will be attending Grandpa Song’s 70th birthday celebration. You can ask them to join you then.” Wu Cunxu clearly didn’t want to trouble Wu Yue.
His second uncle is now unwilling to get too close to him, showing a heroic willingness to sacrifice everything except for this surname.
Dealing with the Mingbang Kindergarten issue was already troublesome for Wu Yue. Letting the children waste the time before the cousins could even build up their relationship was clearly not a wise move.
Undeniably, this cousin was unlike any other girl he had ever met. There was an inexplicable difference, yet she possessed an alluring radiance.
Judging from the fact that her son liked her after only meeting her once, Wu Yue is really good at getting along with children.
Wu Tingyun glanced at his silent younger sister, then at his father, puffed out his cheeks, and his bright black eyes darted around as he softly said, "Then, let me call Auntie and ask..."
Seeing his son's resolute attitude and the expectation in his big eyes, Wu Cunxu couldn't bear to dampen his spirits, and his heart instantly melted.
"Okay, you should first ask your aunt if she's free, and then ask her if she can come with you. You can't force her to come with you."
"Mmm-ah, mmm-ah~"
After his father finished dialing the phone number, Wu Tingyun picked up the thin and light phone and turned on speakerphone, eagerly waiting for the other party to answer.
After a while, a sweet female voice rang out, but it was not the voice that Wu Tingyun was familiar with.
"Sorry! The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."
"Sorry! The number you dialed is not in service area. Please try again later..."
Wu Tingyun called several times and received the same reply each time. His little face immediately fell. "Daddy, where did Auntie go? Why isn't she answering the phone?"
"She's probably doing her homework. My aunt is a high school student, and she has a lot of homework every day. She must be very busy," Wu Cunxu explained patiently.
"Tingyun, go to sleep first, we can play again tomorrow, okay? It's late. Your aunt might be sleeping too, right?"
Okay.
Wu Tingyun nodded his little head, climbed onto the bed with his sister, and threw himself into the blankets.
Goodnight, Dad.
"good evening."
As Wu Cunxu walked to the door, the little guy called out again, "Remember to let me play again tomorrow..."
"Dad promises you." The man smiled, left the bedside lamps on for the children, then gently closed the door and left the small room.
