As Su An spoke, she took out a plate of crispy fried pork from the food box to make it even more tempting.
Sure enough, I heard a loud "gulp" sound of someone swallowing hard.
She was secretly delighted; this was going to be a piece of cake.
Xie Qingfeng was about to refuse because he thought it was too much trouble, but he quickly changed his mind and nodded without hesitation: "No problem! Three meals a day are provided?"
"I have everything!" Su An happily patted her chest to assure him, not forgetting to push the food towards him, giving him a good dose of flattery.
"The divine doctor is truly a man of great righteousness and kind heart! I will bring my younger brother and sister-in-law here as soon as I finish my work at the shop each day. Thank you for your help, divine doctor!"
"Hmm." Xie Qingfeng raised his eyebrows arrogantly, but his body was very obedient, and he plunged into the food and started showing off.
He used to freeload meals, so he was more discreet about it, but things will be different from now on; he'll have the right to do so legitimately!
call…
Fu Zhun breathed a sigh of relief as he watched this scene unfold.
So that's what the little girl was thinking, which is why her attention was on Xie Qingfeng.
But does it include three meals a day?
He doesn't even have that kind of treatment.
Not to mention Fu Zhun was a little jealous, Zhou Li was also jealous, staring at Su An with a resentful look.
"Oh my, you think you can just give me a free meal after teaching me some medical skills?!"
"Master, it seems we not only paid ten taels of silver, but also caught thieves, investigated cases, and had several life-or-death experiences with a certain small business owner, right? Is that small business owner heartless, or am I confused and misremembering?"
Fu Zhun's dark eyes flashed, and for the first time he felt that Zhou Li's dog mouth had finally produced something authentic.
He gave a barely perceptible hum, his gaze also glancing at Su An. "It seems someone just said a couple of days ago that they wanted me to teach them to write... Never mind, maybe I've misremembered."
Su An: "..."
Her eyelids twitched suddenly, and she almost doubted her ears.
The Zhou rituals are one thing, but how come even the God of Wealth has become a two-faced old man?
However, Fu Zhun's eyes were dark and deep, staring intently at her without blinking, as if something was suppressed in his eyes, which was not a joke.
Su An felt a burning sensation from the gaze, and inexplicably felt guilty, so she looked away.
Somewhat amused and exasperated, he reassured the two, "I know, you've helped me so much, it's all my fault for not thinking things through. From now on, we'll both have our meals free!"
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Zhou Li grinned contentedly and then joined the group of people eating.
Fu Zhun's expression softened slightly. He nodded and looked at Su An with a smile, saying, "I'm not one to be taken for granted. I promised Miss Su that when you want to practice calligraphy, you can come to the bookstore on the second floor to find me."
Su An's eyes lit up at this point.
She was almost familiar with the traditional Chinese characters, but she struggled with writing calligraphy, which was crooked and messy, like a dog crawling. Her second son even teased her about it for days.
Now that Fu Zhun has spoken, she couldn't wait any longer. After finishing her work in the afternoon, she went directly to him to ask for permission to study.
Entering the bookstore on the second floor, the space is not large, but the books are displayed in a wide variety and are neatly arranged.
The passageways between the bookshelves meander and twist, like secluded paths, filled with a rich literary atmosphere and the fragrance of ink.
Fu Zhun stood behind the counter, his long, slender hands flipping through ancient books, his phoenix eyes looking down casually, his face as handsome as jade, both beautiful and dignified.
Su An couldn't help but sigh again, "This face is truly pleasing to the eye; I can never get tired of looking at it."
"They're here." Fu Zhun raised his eyes slightly upon hearing the voice.
Then Su An obediently stepped forward, carrying his own writing materials, his face full of anticipation.
For a moment, I had a surreal feeling that I was about to give a lecture.
Fu Zhun chuckled softly and, without lingering, had Su An sit down in front of him to begin practicing calligraphy.
"Write a few lines first, and I'll see how you're progressing."
He had assumed that with Su An's intelligence, she couldn't possibly be that bad.
However, Su An wrote with flowing, crooked strokes, until she finally wrote the character "Su" from her own name, and the paper was completely filled with this one large character.
The ink smudged and spread, then merged into a jumbled mess of scribbles.
Fu Zhun was greatly impressed and was speechless for a moment, pursing his lips and furrowing his handsome brows.
"Haha... I'm just a beginner!" Su An chuckled sheepishly, rubbing his nose as he tried to adjust his grip on the calligraphy brush.
No matter how I grip it, it doesn't feel right; my fingers always feel uncomfortable!
Su An was so angry that she started to jerk off the brush handle when suddenly the man's cool, broad palm covered her hand, gently squeezed it, and promptly grabbed her fingers that were about to get tangled.
"Don't rush, just follow my posture."
His deep, gentle voice breathed in her ear, and Su An's cheeks instantly flushed uncontrollably. She frantically tried to look away.
But then she realized that Fu Zhun's tall figure was right next to her, his broad back gently encircling her. As she turned her head, her lips brushed against his cold, jade-like profile.
Fu Zhun paused, his dark eyes flashing with a half-smile as he raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. "Miss Su, you must concentrate when you write."
Su An: "..."
No, I didn't!
I've been ruined by beauty!
Su An quickly suppressed his rapidly beating heart, turned his head away, held his breath, and silently recited the mantra "form is emptiness."
Behind him, Fu Zhun caught a glimpse of her rosy earlobes, and a mischievous smile appeared in his eyes.
Last time I was quite bold, but this time I'm as timid as a frightened rabbit.
...
After finishing his calligraphy practice, Su An's steps were still unsteady and light on his way back to the shop.
How could she not know that practicing calligraphy had become a sweet torment?
What a pity! Such a handsome man, yet we can only look at him and not touch him!
Su An couldn't help but pray for her heart to stay strong; she couldn't give in so easily!
However, just as she was secretly cheering herself on, a somewhat familiar male voice suddenly rang out in front of her—
"Xiao An, it really is you!"
He Cheng's face lit up with immense joy, and he quickly stepped forward, eager to take her hand.
Wait, what is this thing?!
After such a long time, the scumbag suddenly reappeared, which really startled Su An.
But upon hearing this, her face immediately turned cold, and she instantly dodged away from him with utter disgust, leaping three meters away.
She stared at He Cheng in shock and disgust, and couldn't help but yell, "Are you a ghost? You're really persistent!"
Upon hearing this, He Cheng's face showed a hurt expression.
He looked as if he hadn't groomed himself in a long time; his clothes were worn, he had a stubble beard, and his brows were haggard. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Su An with deep affection and pain.
"Xiao An, are you still going to be stubborn with me? Actually, I regretted it after we parted last time. I came back wanting to apologize to you, but then I heard that you moved. It really made me search for you for a long time!"
As he spoke, his voice choked with emotion, and he looked at Su An with even greater affection.
"It was all my fault before. For the sake of our past love, Xiao An, can you forgive me just this once? Let's make up and start over."
