Chapter 29 Favorability Value is Messy Again
Seeing Xie Chen's pale face, Su Cheng's heart was touched. He sighed softly and looked back at the man beside him. "You go first. I'll stay with him."
Xie Suzhou pursed his thin lips, nodded slightly, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes when he looked at his nephew, and then he turned and left.
"Are you scared?" Su Cheng held his cold little hand, his eyes gentle. "Don't be afraid, let's go home."
Hearing this, Xie Chen suddenly threw himself into her arms, bursting into tears and calling for his mother.
Su Cheng stroked the back of his head again and again, speaking softly, "You are the one in the family who is most like your third uncle. You are stubborn and sensitive, and you have to learn a lesson before you can remember."
"How can someone who suddenly leaves and then suddenly returns with good intentions?"
Xie Chen cried so hard that his body was shaking, his eyes quickly became red and swollen, and he sobbed softly, "I'm sorry..."
Su Cheng reached out and gently patted his back, a faint smile on his face, "No need to apologize, because no one blames you."
"Why doesn't anyone blame him?"
A voice suddenly rang out in the room, startling the two of them.
Following the sound, they saw Xie Cuicui standing in the corner. She was small and had her back to people, so no one noticed that there was a baby in the room.
The little girl threw the broom in her hand to the ground with a stern face, her cheeks flushed with anger. "From now on, I will sweep the floor and wash the dishes!"
"You're making Second Uncle angry, Mother angry, and Cuicui angry!" Xie Cuicui's eyes gradually filled with tears. She gritted her teeth to hold back the tears, "Brother is the most heartless person in the world!"
Seeing his sister angry, Xie Chen scratched his head anxiously, "Cui Cui, I don't want to leave..."
"I don't want to listen to you. You won't have anything to eat tonight!" Xie Cuicui covered her ears and trotted out of the house.
Su Cheng smiled and shook his head helplessly, "It seems you need more coaxing."
Xie Chen slumped his shoulders, looking somewhat dejected, and pursed his lips, not saying anything more.
In the courtyard, Xie Ming stood obediently aside, listening quietly to Old Du assigning him tasks.
Since it concerns his third brother, he is quite patient.
"Go fetch a few buckets of water. I'll give your third brother a medicinal bath and then give him acupuncture later." Du Heng buried his head in writing on a piece of paper, a rare seriousness on his face. "That kid has a disease he was born with. It's not serious, but it's not easy to treat. If you want a permanent cure, don't be afraid of the trouble."
"It's not a big deal." Xie Ming said hurriedly, looking anxious. "As long as my third brother's illness can be cured, no matter how much trouble it takes, it's not a big deal!"
"At most, it's just my worry." Du Heng raised his lips and snorted, "Who told you to meet such a good sister-in-law? If it weren't for Ah Cheng, would you have met me?"
Du Heng is grateful and is very good at catching people’s eyes.
If he met a woman like Sun Panpan in the mountains, he would rather die than have a bite of mutton pie.
"Oh, by the way, bring back two more buckets of water. Girls love cleanliness. Boil some water for Ah Cheng to take a bath too."
Just then, Xie Suzhou came out of the two children's room. Du Heng pointed casually and told him to go back, "Go ask your sister-in-law if she wants to take a bath later."
"...Me?" Xie Suzhou was stunned, his ears suddenly reddened. "Mr. Du, is it inappropriate for me to ask...?"
"Is there anyone else in this family? You three are the only ones left. Do you think I should go and ask?" Du Heng looked at him puzzledly. "Man, you're not too embarrassed to speak up, are you?"
Xie Ming glanced at his second brother, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he took the initiative to take on the task, "Mr. Du, I'll go ask..."
“I’ll go!”
Xie Suzhou suddenly spoke, his voice much higher than Xie Ming's.
The air was quiet for a moment. Seeing that the two people at the table were looking at him inquiringly, Xie Suzhou's cheeks felt even hotter. He fled back to the house and happened to see Cui Jie'er running out angrily.
"sister in law……"
Su Cheng had just coaxed Xie Chen to stop crying when she saw Xie Suzhou standing outside the door with a red face.
"What's wrong?" Su Cheng frowned slightly, looking puzzled.
Xie Chen was anxious to coax his sister, so he jumped out of her arms and ran out of the room, not forgetting to close the door.
Xie Suzhou coughed lightly twice, his eyes somewhat evasive. A flicker of helplessness and shame appeared in his usually deep black eyes. "Old Du asked me to ask you, do you want to take a bath tonight?"
"Bath?" Su Cheng hesitated and said, "I've always wanted to take a bath, but I was afraid it would be inconvenient to get water."
Xie Suzhou's face flushed even more, and he turned his head away. "It's convenient. Just ask Ah Ming to fetch some water."
"That's good, but why is your face so red? Are you having a high fever?"
As soon as the words fell, before Xie Suzhou could react, a small hand as soft as boneless covered his forehead.
“It’s not hot…”
Xie Suzhou's heartbeat quickened in an instant, his cheeks grew hotter, and he pulled away suddenly, accidentally bumping into the coffee table.
His waist hit the corner of the table, and the severe pain made him groan.
"Why are you reacting so strongly?" Su Cheng was startled by him. Seeing that his face was pale with pain, he immediately held his waist with his hand, "Uncle, are you okay?"
Xie Suzhou couldn't help but tremble when the most sensitive part of his body was touched. He quickly withdrew while enduring the pain. His handsome face was red as if blood was dripping out. His breathing was disordered and even the corners of his eyes were a little red. "Sister-in-law, don't... don't touch me..."
"...I'll go ask Ah Ming to get you some water." After saying that, he ran out of the house at an extremely fast speed.
[Host, Xie Suzhou's favorability is messed up again... He's almost been lured to death by you.]
Su Cheng's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his face filled with confusion as he murmured, "I don't even know what I've done..."
She didn't seem to do anything, did she?
Xie Suzhou quickly closed the door and murmured softly, "Fortunately it wasn't Ah Ming who came."
As soon as he turned around, he saw two people in the yard staring at him, and he suddenly felt a little panic in his heart.
Du Heng looked him up and down. Seeing that he was out of breath and his cheeks were red, he immediately sensed something was wrong. "You were fine when you went in, but why do you look like you've been bullied when you came out?"
Xie Ming pursed his lips and stared at his second brother silently.
"It's just a little hot." Xie Suzhou licked the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to fan his face, and pulled the corner of his mouth, "A Ming, fetch two more buckets of water, she... needs a bath."
"Okay." Xie Ming looked at him deeply, turned around and walked out of the yard.
Xie Suzhou couldn't stand Du Heng's probing gaze, so he found an excuse to slip away, "Mr. Du, let me take a look at Jinyu."
Du Heng frowned as he watched his frivolous steps. He glanced at the closed door and muttered softly, "This boy is definitely not simple."
Xie Jinyu drank the bitter medicine soup prepared by Du Heng, and felt sleepy. She slept until sunset and didn't even know what happened during the day.
"Hiss--" Xie Jinyu held his forehead and stood up with one arm.
After sleeping for a long time, he felt dizzy and was about to get out of bed to drink some tea to moisten his throat when he saw his second brother lying on the side of his bed, taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Xie Suzhou closed his eyes tightly, with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, as if he had not slept very soundly.
Xie Jinyu looked helpless and sighed softly. She took the thin blanket he usually covered himself with and gently draped it over her brother.
"sister in law……"
Xie Suzhou still had his eyes closed, immersed in sleep, his handsome face flushed.
The blanket slipped from Xie Jinyu's hands, and his body froze completely, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Second brother...drew into his dream about his sister-in-law?
The blanket fell to the ground, waking the dreamer.
Xie Suzhou raised his head in a daze and met the eyes of Xie Jinyu, who was still in shock.
Xie Jinyu stared at him blankly, her face stiff, "Second brother, you..."
