The house next door had been cleaned up by Shen Xingzhou. There were three rooms in total, and a wooden bathtub was installed in Fu Shaoyu's room.
In the evening, Fu Xiao cooked the detoxifying herbal meal himself.
Fu Shaoyu drank two bowls in a row, with beads of sweat on his forehead. She kept observing his face and stretched out her hand to feel his pulse. "Brother, let's slowly remove the poison first, there's no rush..."
He chuckled: "Well, I'm not in a hurry..."
Fu Xiao smiled and said, “Brother, I’ll go get you some medicinal bath, you can talk to Shen Xingzhou for a while.”
Watching her walk into his room, Fu Shaoyu laughed and shook his head, "She was obviously the one who was anxious. On the first day of treatment, she was anxious to see results."
He looked at Shen Xingzhou, "Please persuade her...let her relax..."
Shen Xingzhou shook his head, "I can't persuade..."
"When it comes to matters involving my family, I always take the back seat. If you can't persuade them, I'm even less capable..."
Fu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, a little confused, "You're not angry?"
Shen Xingzhou laughed and said, “Am I so narrow-minded in your eyes?”
Fu Shaoyu nodded without hesitation, "Yes..."
“Hehe…” Shen Xingzhou laughed softly: “I may not be very kind, but I will never put her in a dilemma.”
Besides, his Xiaoxiao had not forgotten him. Just now, she gave him a soft hug and a kiss while cooking in the kitchen.
He looked at Fu Shaoyu, "Brother, I hope you won't make things difficult for her. Occasionally... make an exception for her."
Fu Shaoyu's smile faded slightly.
Before he could think too much, Fu Xiao's voice came from behind: "Brother, come and take a bath..."
“Oh, here it comes…”
The hot tub was filled with the smell of herbs. Fu Xiao looked at him and said, "Brother, take off your shirt first... I want to give you an acupuncture..."
Looking at his bony back and the sores, she sniffed, took a deep breath, and murmured, "It's okay, I can heal you..."
Fu Shaoyu smiled, "Well, I believe..."
After the silver needle entered the acupuncture point, he felt his body getting warm.
He started to find a topic, "Did your grandfather teach you medical skills?"
Fu Xiao shook his head. "It's about the same, but I have had a few more adventures and know more..."
"Are you tired of learning so many things?"
"I'm not tired...Brother, I'm smart."
Fu Shaoyu looked at her and smiled, "Well, you have a photographic memory... that's amazing..."
He looked at her and asked seriously, "How have you been doing all these years?"
Fu Xiao smiled easily, "Of course I am fine, so many people pamper me, how can I be fine..."
“Really?” Fu Shaoyu pinched her cheek, but why did Shen Xingzhou say that she was once very lonely.
"It's time to take out the needle..."
Fu Xiao went around behind him and removed the silver needles one by one.
"Brother, please get into the bathtub..."
Fu Shaoyu looked at her and said, "Go back to sleep."
Fu Xiao pulled a stool over and sat at the door of the room. "I'll keep you company,"
Fu Shaoyu curled his lips and smiled, stepped into the bathtub with his upper body naked, faced her direction, and lay on the wall of the bathtub to look at her, "Can you tell me why you chose Chen Xingzhou?"
She held her chin with her hand and smiled, "You don't like him?"
Fu Shaoyu shook his head. "It's not that I don't like him, I just think he has a bad temper."
In fact, people who just met him can understand his personality. He just can't accept the fact that his sister is getting married.
"Brother, what kind of person do you think I should find?"
He frowned, he really couldn't think of what kind of person Fu Xiao would be looking for that would satisfy him.
He was silent for a while before he said, "At least he should be a gentleman with a bright and handsome appearance. There are so many young men from noble families in Beijing, can't we choose someone else?"
Fu Xiao blinked: "I know all the children of the noble families in Beijing. Although we have become friends, they all have a problem... They have never experienced setbacks and blows, and their lives are too smooth... Some are indecisive and irresponsible, and some have arrogant problems. Of course, there are also outstanding heirs who are trained by the family, but they have too heavy a burden... These people can be friends, but as lovers..."
She shook her head.
"Brother, do you want me to become the mistress of a noble family, consider the overall situation and support my husband's career?"
Fu Shaoyu frowned.
He asked, "Shen Xingzhou doesn't have these problems?"
Fu Xiao shook his head. "Not really. He certainly has his own problems, but he is centered around me."
"Because of me, he retired early to do business. This time when I came to Country M, even though he had a lot of important things on hand, he still accompanied me..."
She looked at Fu Shaoyu, her voice filled with a special tenderness, "Brother, Grandpa loves me, but he is also the grandfather of my brothers. My uncles love me, but they are also fathers of others. My brothers love me, but they...will also have families one day..."
"Grandpa Mu loves me wholeheartedly, but there is always a sense of guilt in his love..."
Fu Xiao said softly: "Including Dad, he loves me, but he always tells me that I miss Mom. He is a soldier and he has his own responsibilities..."
The smile in Fu Shaoyu's eyes disappeared instantly.
So that's what he hated.
The soldier defends his country, but he couldn't protect his own family.
Fu Xiao sighed softly, "What I want is a firm preference, and Chen Xingzhou gave me that..."
Who doesn’t want to be firmly chosen and protected?
