Xiao Yue hesitated for a while, but finally finished drinking the bowl of medicine that contained the bitterness of heaven and earth.
After tossing and turning for most of the night, she felt a little more energetic, but her fever was still there and she still had symptoms of coughing.
Even though I had some energy after eating, it was almost gone by now.
Xiao Yue digested it for a while, then lay back on the bed in a daze.
"Sleep until you wake up naturally tomorrow, we'll take care of the store." Fang Sanhong couldn't bear to say anything harsh, so she pinched Xiao Yue's cheek.
After a long time, the person on the bed closed his eyes.
Fang Sanhong glanced at Fu Xunzhou and whispered, "I'll sleep on the couch outside this room. You can go to the next room later. The quilts and other things have been changed. You don't have to stay here all the time."
It’s too late, we can’t just chase them away.
Fu Xunzhou nodded and watched Fang Sanhong walk out of the inner room holding the quilt. The surroundings fell silent again.
"Xiao Yue."
Fu Xunzhou walked to the bedside and spoke softly, and the only response he got was a "hmm" from his nose.
In fact, Xiao Yue was not far from falling asleep. She was holding on with all her willpower. The moment she closed her eyes completely, she heard a low voice.
"Feel sorry."
Feel sorry?
What are you sorry for?
Xiao Yue's brain was like a mess at the moment. Before he could understand clearly, sleepiness completely swept him away.
Fu Xunzhou chuckled silently and couldn't help staring at her in a daze. Then he saw a furry tail hanging out from the edge of the quilt, swaying provocatively.
Fu Xunzhou narrowed his eyes, waited for a few seconds, then quickly pulled Xiaoju out of the quilt.
"Meow!"
The little orange cub struggled for two seconds, but found that he could not escape the clutches of the devil at all. His limbs drooped down as before, and his tail could no longer be raised.
Fu Xunzhou held it in his arms and rubbed the cat's head like kneading dough.
Xiaoju noticed that he didn't put her back into the cat bed, so she curled up in his arms.
Half a minute later, a comfortable snoring sound came from Fu Xunzhou's arms.
Outer room.
Fang Sanhong was originally listening to the noise inside, preparing to see when Fu Xunzhou would go out.
But sleepiness slowly came over her, and she had no idea when she fell asleep or when Fu Xunzhou went out.
…
The next morning.
Xiao Yue felt a hand probing her forehead while she was half asleep and half awake, but her eyelids were sore and she couldn't get up.
When he opened his eyes again, the owner of the hand, Fu Xunzhou, was no longer in the room...
wrong.
Xiao Yue lay down, and belatedly wondered why he had been so sure that hand belonged to Fu Xunzhou.
Couldn't it be someone else?
Maybe it’s Sister Sanhong, maybe it’s the thoughtful Lu Ran, or maybe it’s the little cotton-padded jacket Xu Qingwu?
Why do I subconsciously think it was Fu Xunzhou? Just because he stayed with me all night last night...it's true.
Xiao Yue closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then his throat started to itch and he coughed unexpectedly.
Fortunately, she felt that her forehead was not so hot anymore, which meant that the high fever had subsided, which was a good thing.
"woke up?"
At this time, the door was opened and Fu Xunzhou walked in carrying the same porridge and soup as last night.
Xiao Yue felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, but it was too late to pretend to be asleep. He could only say "hmm" in a deep, nasal voice.
After a night, my throat was still not healed and my voice sounded like that of a lord.
Fu Xunzhou came over and stretched out his hand to help her sit up.
Xiao Yue saw this movement and hurriedly tried to turn over, but he didn't have much strength in his hands, so Fu Xunzhou helped him up.
Unlike last night when he didn't react, Xiao Yue felt a little uncomfortable at this moment when he felt the strong and warm hand.
Fu Xunzhou turned around to get her some water, then brought her some porridge, and finally brought her the bowl of medicine, looking at her quietly.
Xiao Yue moved his mouth but didn't reach out his hand for a moment.
The next second, Fu Xunzhou stretched out his other hand, opened his palm upwards, and revealed a candy in his palm.
This is a specialty of Liuyun City. It contains some Chinese medicinal ingredients and has a sweet and refreshing taste.
Fu Xunzhou: "The candy last night was from Xu Qingwu. I just went to buy it. Eat it after you finish drinking."
Xiao Yue's gaze slowly shifted from Tang to Fu Xunzhou's face, only to find that there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
Xiao Yue was a little stunned, then lowered her eyes and snatched the candy without saying a word.
Fu Xunzhou did not stop him and handed the medicine forward.
After finishing the medicine, Xiao Yue quietly held the candy in her mouth and listened to him talk about what happened in the store today.
Fang Sanhong had made arrangements early in the morning. The home-style restaurant was still handed over to Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen, while she herself went to the hot pot restaurant to take over Xiao Yue's position.
This way, everyone will know her situation, and will most likely be worried and concerned...
Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed. When he looked out the window, he found that it was almost noon.
She slept for so long!
Fu Xunzhou noticed her gaze and said, "The doctor said I need to rest more these days."
"Um……"
Xiao Yue didn't know whether she was shy or what, but her cheeks were a little red when she lay back on the bed.
But he couldn't fall asleep. Xiao Yue was a restless person and wanted to get out of bed and take a walk.
But just as she was about to lift the quilt, her hand stopped.
She took the medicine last night, and it took effect. Not only did she sleep well, but she also sweated all over. Her underwear was probably clinging to her body...
Xiao Yue glanced at Fu Xunzhou, who looked slightly puzzled.
"What do you want?"
"Wash yourself."
Xiao Yue blinked and said two words in a hoarse voice.
Unexpectedly, Fu Xunzhou's reaction was even greater than hers. He coughed lightly, withdrew his gaze, walked out, and came back with a basin of hot water.
"You shouldn't bathe to avoid catching a cold. Just... wipe it off for now."
"oh."
Then Xiao Yue watched Fu Xunzhou walk out quickly with red ears, and couldn't help but "puff" sound.
no?
She hasn't done anything yet, but he's too embarrassed to do it?
Xiao Yue lowered his head, reached out to touch the water of perfect temperature, and hummed twice.
After washing up, Xiao Yue changed his clothes, put on one more piece of clothing very consciously, then opened the door and walked out to stretch.
The weather is nice today and the sun is shining right now.
Maybe it was because he was sick, Xiao Yue didn't feel hot. He just felt it was just right and his whole body was warm from the tan.
After a while, Fu Xunzhou came out of the kitchen and reminded: "Don't stay in the sun for too long."
Xiao Yue nodded, and just then Xiaoju came over to cuddle up with her, so she picked it up and walked around the yard together.
While she was strolling around, Su Xiaoxiao and Sun Wen passed by and came over to ask her as soon as they saw her.
Xiao Yue felt warm inside when she heard this and was about to answer when Sun Wen stopped her.
"No, no, no! Your throat must be uncomfortable, you must take good care of it! Don't worry, Xiaoxiao and I decided to make a light meal tonight, and we will all accompany you to take care of your health!"
Xiao Yue: “?”
Keep healthy?
Who wants to take care of health?
However, the two of them could not answer Xiao Yue's questions, and since it was still business hour, they didn't say a few words and continued to get busy.
Fu Xunzhou on the side chuckled, then walked over and said, "Would you like to sit for a while?"
"……OK."
Xiao Yue had never been so free before. When he was lying on the lounge chair under the tree in the yard, he felt a little uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, the effect of the medicine took effect and Xiao Yue felt a little sleepy. In order to avoid falling asleep and catching a cold, she left a message before returning to her room.
"Fu Xunzhou, remember to wake me up in half an hour."
Her voice was a little soft, and Fu Xunzhou subconsciously touched her head and agreed in a gentle voice.
But just this touch made Xiao Yue forget what he wanted to ask next. He scratched his head and went back to his room.
Never mind. I can’t remember.
——
As expected, dinner was a table full of light dishes, which made people feel like they were turning into a rabbit eating grass.
Fortunately, everything tastes better when there are more people around, so even Xiao Yue, whose sense of taste was a little impaired, ate a big bowl.
During the conversation after the meal, Fang Sanhong severely criticized her for falling ill and fainting, which everyone at the table agreed with.
Xiao Yue looked left and right and found that even Fu Xunzhou had nothing to say about it, so she nodded humbly.
Finally, Fang Sanhong concluded: "The reason is that you are too tired from running back and forth. It was fine before, and you only took care of this one store. Now both West Street and South Street require your attention. Will you continue to run like this in the future?"
Xiao Yue fell into deep thought.
"Don't think too much." Fang Sanhong snorted coldly and said directly: "When you feel better in a few days, let's go look for a house. With the money you saved before, can't you buy a good place?"
These words really stunned Xiao Yue.
Fang Sanhong continued, "Given your personality, it's impossible to let you relax, but if you look at a house between West Street and South Street, you only need to go to one place a day, at least you won't be so tired, right?"
"Besides, how long have you been bothering Master Fu?"
What this means is that if you buy a house that is close to your home, you won’t have to trouble someone to be your driver in the future.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the courtyard, except Xiao Yue, turned their eyes to Fu Xunzhou.
The man's expression did not change much, he just said: "It's no trouble, it's my honor to help Xiaoyue drive the carriage, no matter how far or near."
It was rare for something to be said so clearly and thoroughly, and everyone's expressions were surprised.
Xiao Yue also paused, facing this gaze, and said: "I think what Sister Sanhong said makes sense. Not only did I trouble you for so long, but I also made you so worried last night that you didn't sleep well, so I think..."
"Buy a house!"
Xiao Yue pronounced these two words in an extremely sonorous and powerful voice, and even though his voice had not yet improved, his tone was full of firmness.
Fu Xunzhou nodded: "Okay, I can find someone to help you find one, so you don't get cheated by the broker."
Although there are relatively few such people, it does not mean that you will not encounter them.
Just as Xiao Yue was about to nod, Fang Sanhong raised her eyebrows, her focus was on——
"Master Fu still has such connections?"
"Of course." Fu Xunzhou said calmly, "Buying a house is a big deal. I can help Xiaoyue with whatever she wants."
Duan Lin and Lu Ran looked at each other and thought: So he is waiting here.
Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry to trouble you so much...thank you in advance!"
She had not originally intended to refuse, mainly because she was not a "local" and was not familiar with Liuyun City.
This matter is indeed more reliable, and it is much better to get help from people who are more familiar with the place.
Then Xiao Yue's thoughts jumped quickly, and his mind was full of buying a house.
She had felt that it was unnecessary a long time ago because there was no one guarding the store. Staying in the store would not only allow for timely response but also be more convenient. For this reason, she even rejected Fang Sanhong's invitation to live with her.
After that, even if there was help, Xiao Yue had no time to look for houses, and he just kept living in the store.
If Fang Sanhong hadn't mentioned it today, Xiao Yue would have completely forgotten about it.
But now that it’s been mentioned, she feels that buying a house is totally possible!
Not only does Xiao Yue have more money and time, but it also allows the people around her to worry less about her.
It’s the best of both worlds!
