The cook saw it when she brought tea, but she was only shocked for a moment, and then her expression remained normal.
Father Zhou obviously admired his eldest son, Shen Yunxiao.
Of course, the most important thing is that the Shen family is much stronger than the Zhou family. The Zhou family, the richest family in Hai'an City, is nothing in front of the Shen family, the wealthy family in the imperial capital.
If the Zhou family wants to make further progress, they will definitely need the help of the Shen family. It is reasonable for Zhou's father to be very polite to Shen Yunxiao.
What's more, his youngest son is not really dead. He can just pretend to be dead, but he can't miss the rare filial piety of his eldest son.
If the Zhou family could take the opportunity to get a few orders from the Shen family, that would be a real benefit to the Zhou family.
As a result, Zhou's mother looked unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She just finished her meal in a depressed mood and went upstairs angrily.
"Your aunt has been extremely sad these past few days because of your brother's accident. Xiao'er, don't bother with your aunt."
Shen Yunxiao shook his head, and when he stood up, he squeezed Bai Chi's hand that was hanging by his side.
The father and son went to the tea room to chat. Bai Chi could clearly see the calculation in Zhou's father's eyes. How could Shen Yunxiao not notice it?
I'm just pretending not to notice.
Since someone wants to act, there must be people who want to watch the show.
After greeting the two shyly, Bai Chi went upstairs.
It was still early, so I opened Weibo and checked the background messages. The painting I posted this morning had quite a lot of views.
According to the backstage message, an old client asked Bai Chi to paint a picture. Bai Chi picked out two works with good prices and chatted with them for a while.
Then I took the tablet and prepared to draw a rough draft first.
Before I knew it, two hours had passed. Just as I was wondering when Shen Yunxiao would come up, I heard a 'click' sound from the door.
Bai Chi looked up and saw Shen Yunxiao pushing the door open and coming in with a plate of fresh strawberries in his hand.
"These freshly picked strawberries were just delivered. Would you like to try some?"
As he was talking, he had already reached the balcony, closed the window and drew the curtains.
"Why are you blowing the wind again? You're not feeling well, be careful not to catch a cold."
Bai Chi picked up a strawberry next to her, it was very sweet.
Leaning on the sofa, watching Mr. Shen muttering like an old mother, I feel very good.
After Shen Yunxiao finished speaking, Bai Chi used his fingertips to casually fiddle with the crystal core necklace on his chest.
"It's not cold, and I like it."
Maybe it’s because in my memory, there are only cold metal walls.
He had been locked up there ever since he could remember.
So he particularly likes everything outside, whether it is a gentle breeze or a heavy rain, it fascinates him.
With the crystal core necklace, he doesn't have to worry about catching a cold.
Shen Yunxiao sat next to Bai Chi and took the opportunity to hug her in his arms, playing with the crystal core necklace with his other hand.
Bai Chi didn't care about him. The strawberries were indeed delicious. He raised his hand to feed Shen Yunxiao a few.
The guy teased him on purpose, licking his fingertips every time and sometimes even biting them.
She rolled her eyes at him and decided not to feed him. This guy was just stirring up trouble and he would be the one who would suffer in the end.
After playing for a while, Shen Yunxiao helped Bai Chi put the crystal core necklace close to his body, and then he became thoughtful.
"Achi, this necklace looks so familiar, I think I've seen it somewhere before?"
Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, then said, "I remember I didn't wear this when we met last time, right?"
It was still the original owner at that time, so of course it was impossible for her to have a crystal core necklace.
"Really? That might be because I saw him in a dream. It means that Achi and I are destined to be together."
Shen Yunxiao didn't take this matter to heart. After Bai Chi finished eating the strawberries, he carried her to the bathroom to wash up.
The sound of running water could be heard in the bathroom. I had just wanted to help someone take a bath, but it took almost an hour.
Bai Chi's body was too weak, and he would need surgery soon, so Shen Yunxiao naturally wouldn't really do anything, but he had to ask for some benefits.
The result was that Bai Chi's thighs, which were already numb and weak, were now burning with pain.
But someone was still not satisfied. In his words, he didn't dare to eat meat because he was afraid that his small body couldn't handle it.
If Bai Chi wasn't in poor health right now, he would have wanted to take someone to have surgery right now so that he could recover sooner and start eating meat again.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind. Compared to those things, he wanted his young man to be healthy and safe.
When Bai Chi was put on the bed, he was so tired that he almost fell asleep. In a daze, he felt someone hugging him and he instinctively pushed away.
"No, I'm tired."
Even if I didn't really finish it, I was still tired.
His body is really weak now, and I don’t know if he can recover.
Then I heard a chuckle in my ear.
"Go to sleep, baby. I won't bother you anymore."
Bai Chi was indeed comforted, and even found a comfortable position in Shen Yunxiao's arms before falling asleep peacefully.
Then Shen Yunxiao sighed softly.
"You really trust me."
He lowered his head and glanced somewhere, his expression still as ferocious as ever. He even doubted whether the frail boy in his arms could bear it.
He picked up the medicine from the bedside and carefully applied it on the delicate skin at the base of his legs.
The gentle movements seemed to be taking care of a rare treasure.
The warm breath sprayed on his chest, and Shen Yunxiao's breath condensed for a moment, and the desire that was about to explode was almost uncontrollable.
He remained calm on the surface, even moving his lower back slightly, but he showed no intention of loosening his grip.
