Xiao Yue decided to buy a house, but he would have to wait until his health improved before he could go and see the house.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while and then went home.

Only two people stayed in the backyard of Yueting Self-service Homestay.

Fang Sanhong was not surprised, because Xu Qingwu had been staying with Xiao Lian these days. She was in the dessert shop during the day and slept with Xiao Lian at night. She would only take her back occasionally.

But Fu Xunzhou...

Noticing Fang Sanhong's gaze, Xiao Yue took the lead in pulling him aside, but when they met her gaze, she felt embarrassed to speak.

But if Fu Xunzhou was allowed to stay any longer, Xiao Yue would feel even more guilty.

"You rested in the next room last night?"

Fu Xunzhou nodded.

Xiao Yue pursed her lips and decided not to beat around the bush: "I'm sorry to make you worry about me, but I'm much better now. You must not have fallen asleep after changing places. Why don't you go home and rest tonight?"

Fu Xunzhou looked at her.

It was rare for Xiao Yue to not know what to say. He always felt that the current situation was too much like that...

What's the matter with not recognizing people?

Pooh!

Xiao Yue quickly put this thought behind her and said immediately: "Thank you so much for yesterday. If it weren't for you, I would have to lie on the road. Later, when I am almost well, I will ask you to take me to see a house. I have to trouble you again. I don't know what to do... um?"

Suddenly, the fingertips of a hand were placed on her lips.

Xiao Yue felt as if he had been electrocuted, staring blankly at the person in front of him.

"Your throat isn't healed yet." Fu Xunzhou said helplessly, "I know what you want to say."

Of course he knows.

What doesn't he know?

Xiao Yue saw Fu Xunzhou getting closer and closer, and her heartbeat suddenly started to speed up, and then she heard——

"Didn't you ask me what I wanted as a reward before? Then, including the Zhihuai Festival and this time, I want..." Fu Xunzhou's voice was magnetic and low: "You will call me by my name from now on."

In the night, the man's dark brown pupils became deep, revealing this side of him for the first time.

Xiao Yue's breathing slowed down, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly: "Your name..."

What else can he be called if not Fu Xunzhou?

Xiao Yue wanted to ask this, but suddenly he understood what he meant.

My heart beat faster, but my mind became clearer.

Xiao Yue raised her eyes to look at him, moved her lips, and called out two words in a hoarse voice: "...A Zhou?"

In an instant, the aura around her seemed to suddenly become heavier.

Fu Xunzhou stared at Xiao Yue for a few seconds, then withdrew his body. His voice with a rolling Adam's apple had a different texture: "Well, then you should have a good rest. And... this."

He directly took her hand, left something without saying anything, and left without waiting for Xiao Yue to say anything.

The air seemed to grow lighter.

Xiao Yue stood there for a long time, biting her lower lip lightly and looking down at her hands.

A candy.

It was the kind of sugar that Fu Xunzhou gave her in the morning after she took the medicine to relieve the bitter taste.

“…”

Xiao Yue held it in his palm, closed his eyes and let out a long breath. Then, when he turned around, he saw Fang Sanhong behind the door.

“Tsk.”

A simple word seemed to contain endless words.

Xiao Yue opened his eyes.

It won’t be heard!

"Azhou?"

Xiao Yue: “…”

Okay, I heard it.

Fang Sanhong snorted and said, "I thought you were stupid. Who would have thought that you could do better than anyone else?"

Xiao Yue clearly saw the ridicule in her expression and wiped his face.

alright!

Stop talking!

——

After a few days, Xiao Yue's health improved, except that he still coughed occasionally, and he was not fully recovered yet.

She felt that what was more difficult than being sick, besides taking medicine, was not being able to eat delicious food at will.

Being in a self-service store, what's the difference between this and asking for death?

After Xiao Yue regained strength, he prepared some light but flavorful food, which alleviated some of the pain in his taste buds.

As for the house viewing, Xiao Yue felt that it could be put on the agenda, so he talked about it when Fu Xunzhou came.

Fu Xunzhou nodded and said, "I asked someone to take a look a few days ago. It just so happens that a wealthy businessman has a house that he needs to sell urgently. It's not far from here and the hot pot restaurant. I think you will like it."

So sure?

Xiao Yue was a little excited and immediately decided to go and see it after lunch.

After dinner, the carriage drove away from Yanting Bridge. The breeze moved the curtains and there was a faint scent of osmanthus in the air.

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped.

Xiao Yue got out of the car and saw that they had stopped in front of a mansion.

It is quiet and sparsely populated here. To the left is the other side of the lotus pond, which is surrounded by a fence; to the right is the road we just came from, and a distance past is the bustling avenue leading directly to South Street.

What a great location!

Xiao Yue was slightly surprised. Just as he was about to look at the house in front of him, a slightly plump man came jogging towards him from a distance.

"Master Fu, Madam Xiao! I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Xiao Yue realized that this should be the wealthy businessman that Fu Xunzhou mentioned. He looked very kind.

In her impression, wealthy businessmen always made a grand appearance when they went out, but this one seemed low-key and simple.

Xiao Yue chuckled: "We just arrived, and they said that this house has a good location. I wonder what your name is, brother? Are you really interested in selling it?"

The slightly fat man glanced at Fu Xunzhou, wiped his sweat and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam Xiao, I am sincere in selling this house!"

Afterwards, Xiao Yue learned from the rich businessman named Wang why he wanted to sell the house, and he was a little dazed.

Because his wife loved the rouge and powder produced in the capital, and business was better there, he decided to move there.

This was the reason. What really made Xiao Yue dazed was that... this house was just built by the wealthy businessman Wang last year. He moved to the capital at the end of the year and no one has lived in it since then.

It's like a new house!

Xiao Yue was unable to estimate the amount of manpower and material resources needed to build a house. In the end, because the wealthy businessman Wang had to move, she became the one who was able to buy the house without any effort.

The three of them walked into the house while talking, and the wealthy businessman Wang laughed at the end.

"It's a coincidence. I just wanted to sell this house when I ran into Master Fu. He said that Madam Xiao was interested. I went there to eat spicy beef hotpot a few days ago. Just based on the taste, I have to give you a good price no matter what!"

Xiao Yue kept smiling and looked around the house under the guidance of the wealthy businessman Wang.

This is a four-courtyard mansion full of antique charm. It covers a large area and has many habitable rooms. It is divided into the main courtyard and the east and west courtyards. It has almost all kinds of furniture, the kitchen is particularly spacious, and there is even a stable for raising horses.

In addition, some places have been modified. There is a small garden on the right side of the gate, with rockery, fake water, and ever-lasting flowers and trees planted there. There are also many koi in the pond...

It can be seen that even though no one lives there, the wealthy businessman Wang has hired people to come regularly to clean and feed the family.

What Xiao Yue was most satisfied with was this small garden. As the weather was good today, she found that there was plenty of sunshine here.

If you have some free time during the day, you can put a lounge chair here to bask in the sun. The kitchen is not far from here, so you can move your meals here. Finally, if you have the leisure time, you can have a cup of tea, or gather with friends for a drink if you feel like it...

Thinking of this, Xiao Yue was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Just as he had almost finished looking at the whole house, Mr. Wang, who was very familiar with it, found the tea left here and started to make some, taking a break.

Taking this opportunity, Xiao Yue whispered to the person beside him: "Besides this place, can you help me look for other houses?"

Fu Xunzhou had hardly spoken before, but now he noticed her expression and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with this place?"

Xiao Yue blinked and didn't answer.

Not satisfied?

If she answered this, she didn't know what Fu Xunzhou's expression would be.

Sure enough, Fu Xunzhou, who didn't hear the voice, looked a little different: "If you are not satisfied..."

"Madam Xiao, Master Fu!" The wealthy businessman Wang interrupted them with a smile: "Come quickly, have a taste of my excellent tea!"

Xiao Yue raised the corner of his mouth, walked over and sat cross-legged, but he said: "Brother Wang's house is really good, I wonder how much is the price?"

Such direct words left Mr. Wang unable to react.

Fu Xunzhou was also stunned.

Xiao Yue tilted her head to glance at him, her eyes full of mockery.

Not satisfied?

How is that possible!

She felt that Fu Xunzhou found the house according to her preferences, otherwise how could it be so satisfactory?

Xiao Yue even suspected that Fu Xunzhou had not looked for any other houses at all, but was just waiting for her to come here and take a look at one and buy it.

She snorted in her heart: "A Zhou, what are you standing there for? Come and help me bargain with Brother Wang."

Fu Xunzhou understood immediately, walked over with a smile and sat down next to her, then reached out and scratched her nose.

Seeing this scene, the rich businessman Wang's hand trembled as he handed over the tea.

…

Xiao Yue finally spent 2,600 taels of silver to buy this house. He said he wanted to bargain, but in fact he didn't say much.

Not only was it unnecessary, but she also really wanted to buy it.

The process went very smoothly. Merchant Wang carried the property deed with him, but the final transaction was completed at the money shop because Xiao Yue had to go and get the silver in cash.

What a happy trouble.

After all this time, the sun had already set.

Xiao Yue originally wanted to invite the wealthy businessman Wang to have a meal at the restaurant, but he was in a hurry to go back and pack up and get ready to go to the capital, so his wife did not follow him back this time.

Before leaving, the saddest thing for Mr. Wang was not being away from home, but——

"Although the food in the capital city tastes much better than that in Floating Cloud City, it is in no way comparable to Madam Xiao's cooking skills! I don't know when I can come back to eat a meal again, so I can only hope that one day Madam Xiao's store can be opened in the capital city!"

Mr. Wang, the wealthy businessman, sighed deeply and finally said goodbye and left.

Little did he know how much waves these words had stirred up in Xiao Yue's heart. He watched the other person's back turn from solid to a black dot.

"There will be such a day." After a moment, Fu Xunzhou spoke to bring her back to her senses.

Xiao Yue tilted his head to look at him, curled up the corners of his mouth, and was about to say something when he suddenly started coughing.

"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." Fu Xunzhou frowned slightly and reached out to pat her back gently.

Xiao Yue's body wasn't fully recovered after all, and after walking for such a long time today, she inevitably felt tired.

When she got on the carriage, she understood the meaning of Mr. Wang's sigh.

He wants to eat, but she doesn't!

Fortunately, today is the last day and the last night. Let’s see who can allow himself to take another sip of medicine tomorrow!
