Chapter 20 What tricks are you playing? Lin Xicai had dinner and brought those...
After dinner, Lin Xicai took the medicine into the space.
The house that she meticulously replicated originally had three bedrooms, a living room, and a study. Lin Xicai set permissions for the master bedroom where her parents lived in real life, her own room, and the study, leaving only one guest room for free entry and exit.
At that time, Li Ci was lying on the bed in the guest room, lying on his side, curled up in a ball feeling insecure.
He hadn't eaten for a long time and had a fever for two days. He looked like he was breathing out more than breathing in, which made him look much more pleasing to the eye than the bad and hypocritical look he showed outside.
Lin Xicai walked over, took those things and simply bandaged his wound, and put a bandage on the scratches on his neck.
When it came time to feed him medicine, it was a bit tricky. He was unconscious, and when the pills and capsules were stuffed into his mouth, he didn't know how to swallow them. He could only frown and spit out the pills.
Lin Xicai had no other choice but to pour out the powder from the capsules or crush the tablets, soak them in hot water, and feed them all to him.
The person on the bed had chapped lips. When there was a sudden source of water, he slightly opened his lips to show his cooperation, but he was soon irritated by the taste of the potion. His brows furrowed deeply, and anger was on his face before he woke up.
Lin Xicai wasn't a good waiter, nor did she have the patience to do so. She just poured spoonful after spoonful into his mouth. Li Ci choked on the bitter water and coughed. He managed to open his eyes for a moment, and his hoarse voice tinged with familiar malice, "Do you want to die? Go... go find the housekeeper to settle your wages. You're fired..."
Lin Xicai paused when she heard this, as if she had heard a joke. She then put the spoon aside, reached out, pinched his chin, and poured the remaining half bowl of medicine into his mouth.
Li Ci was choked and coughed. He drank half of the turbid medicine and spilled half of it. His body curled up in fear. Then, he slowly opened his eyes, as if he finally had focus and saw the person clearly.
He stared at the innocent face. Under the light, the beautiful and sweet face gradually twisted and turned into an unfathomable female ghost.
Li Ci stared at her for a while, then said hoarsely, "I want to eat."
Lin Xicai still didn't say anything, and glanced at the ground lightly.
Scattered on the ground were the untouched bread, sausages and mineral water she had thrown away.
There was undisguised provocation and contempt in Lin Xicai's eyes. She thought he would continue to make trouble with her, but he looked at her, forced himself to get up, silently picked up a piece of bread from the ground, tore open the package and started to eat.
He ate quickly and grabbed two bottles of water.
He swallowed the things, but his eyes were fixed on her, weak, miserable, but sinister.
Lin Xicai stared at him coldly, knowing full well that the contest between them was far from over.
The next day was Saturday. The doctor that Fu Changmin contacted for her returned to his country, so Lin Xicai went for a comprehensive physical examination. After the examination, in the afternoon, Lin Xicai did her homework for a while, then took a bag and went out.
She figured the food she had brought with her was almost finished, so she had to go out and buy some more.
She calculated the money in her pocket and frowned slightly - this was much more than the cost of raising a cat. Trouble is really trouble everywhere.
After buying a lot of bread, instant noodles, steamed buns, ham and other things, Lin Xicai passed by a barber shop when she was carrying the things back. She thought about it and went in to get a haircut.
She went in with a long ponytail and came out with a different style.
The shoulder-length hair falls down smoothly, outlining the facial contours just right, making the small face look more well-behaved and cute. The thin bangs on the forehead fall neatly and casually between the eyebrows, and with a pair of smart and beautiful eyes, she looks like an enchanting fairy.
Lin Xicai looked at the face in the mirror. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but this face seemed to be more like her original face.
The original hairstyle still suits her best, Lin Xicai thought.
Lin Xicai took those things back to the room, and when she came out, she ran into Zhong Ping. Zhong Ping was slightly stunned when she saw her.
She stared at her, vaguely feeling that her daughter seemed to have a strange feeling, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you cut your hair?"
Lin Xicai playfully flicked her hair and smiled, "Doesn't it look good?"
The strange feeling was dispelled, and Zhong Ping smiled, "She looks pretty, like a doll."
Zhong Ping saw that she was about to go out, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Xicai smiled and said, "Let's go for a walk on the lawn, Sara."
Lin Xicai was playing with her dog on the lawn. The golden retriever was jumping in front of her, but she was a little absent-minded.
After walking like this for a while, the rope in her hand suddenly tightened, and the golden retriever suddenly pulled her and ran wildly. Lin Xicai was startled, and when she looked up, she saw two figures stopped not far away.
Fu Yanxiu and a young man, probably his college classmates who came to play with him, looked over and were both stunned when their eyes fell on her.
Lin Xicai guessed that Fu Yanxiu would not want to meet her, and remembered her rude words to him in the Chinese language office last time. She immediately pulled back the hand holding the dog leash, stood where she was, nodded politely to the two of them from a distance, and left the garden with the dog.
Fu Yanxiu's gaze followed her as she walked away, lingering on her back for a long time, his eyes complicated.
While I was distracted, someone hit my arm. "Who was that pretty girl just now? Your sister?"
Fu Yanxiu retracted his gaze, "No."
The man was stunned when he heard this, then he suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise, "Then this is... this is your aunt's daughter?"
Fu Yanxiu did not deny it.
"So this girl is the one who wants to take advantage of you?" The person next to him looked up, surprised. "Why doesn't she look like the person in the video? Her eyes are so pure, she doesn't look like someone who could do such a thing."
The man paused, then smiled, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing, "Come to think of it, with someone like that, is there really any need to resort to such despicable tactics?"
His words once again brought back Fu Yanxiu's memories of that incident, and along with them, the familiar feeling of disgust he had for that person. Fu Yanxiu's tone turned cold, "The more beautiful something is, the less it can withstand scrutiny."
"But being good-looking gives you the right to be forgiven," the person beside him laughed heartily. "I used to share your hatred for the enemy, but now I suddenly feel a little less angry for you..."
Fu Yanxiu looked over, his eyes filled with bewilderment. "Is it reasonable that someone who always topped the exams starts to rank last after a fall?"
"The world is so big, there are all kinds of strange things." The person beside him shook his head and replied casually, "If he broke his head, it's not impossible."
Fu Yanxiu pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
Is that so?
He doesn't believe it.
He wanted to see what tricks she was going to play.
Lin Xicai had dinner with the Fu family, and during the meal, Fu Changmin asked about her health. The doctor was also there and updated them on her condition. He said that according to the physical examination results, she was in good health, with all body mass indexes above average, and there was nothing wrong with her.
Fu Changmin was a little surprised and asked about her grades. The doctor obviously couldn't explain it and just said it might be a psychological reason.
This result was within Lin Xicai's expectations. It would be abnormal if something was really found out. At the moment, she could only say obediently, saying that she should not worry about her and that she would work hard to catch up.
Unexpectedly, Fu Changmin directly suggested that since Fu Yanxiu was going to give Fu Xuefan extra lessons, he might as well let her join in.
As soon as these words came out, the Fu siblings immediately looked over. Lin Xicai knew her own limitations and, without waiting for them to speak, hurriedly said, "Don't bother Brother Yanxiu. My foundation is too weak right now. I need to start from the very basics. My progress may be different from Xuefan's."
"Don't you know what level Xuefan is at? You have a weak foundation, but she has a strong one?" Fu Changmin glanced at his daughter, half scolding and half doting. "Maybe you two are at the same level now. Yanzheng should teach both of you."
Fu Xuefan was so angry that she couldn't help but retort, "I didn't rank last in the exam, so who can be on the same level as her?"
Fu Xuefan and Lin Xicai both looked at Fu Yanxiu. For their own different reasons, the two girls hoped that the rejection would come from Fu Yanxiu.
Fu Yanxiu didn't look at the two of them. He took a sip of tea, nodded, and agreed in front of everyone.
Lin Xicai frowned, feeling a little uneasy at the man's calm and elegant demeanor.
But Fu Changmin made the final decision on this matter. The next day was Sunday, and she was called to the front yard in the afternoon.
At this point, Lin Xicai calmed down. She was worried that no one would give her any guidance, so she thought it would be a waste not to use the ready-made resources. So she took her textbooks and went to a study in the front yard of the villa.
Fu Yanxiu came with the intention of testing them, but in less than half an hour, he was so angry at the two of them that he felt dizzy.
It was already annoying enough to have one clueless and incompetent Fu Xuefan, but now there were two of them. The other one was even more terrifying, completely clueless and asking him to start from the Stone Age to explain a question.
"Did I not explain myself clearly enough?"
"No, I didn't understand."
"From which step did you not understand?"
"first step."
“…”
“Where did the formula for the first step come from?”
“…”
Fu Yanxiu stared at her, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
Lin Xicai opened her mouth and closed it again, her big eyes showing some confusion.
Fu Yanxiu met those eyes and suddenly felt a little upset. His tone turned cold, and habitually a hint of sharp sarcasm was added: "You don't think stupidity is cute, do you? If you're trying to attract someone's attention in this way, it's ridiculous."
“…”
Lin Xicai felt that coming here was a mistake.
For a moment, she actually hoped this person could help her. This was the most foolish thought she had today. How could she forget that this person was the one who wanted to humiliate her the most? I'm afraid in his eyes, even just breathing was seducing him.
Lin Xicai stood up swiftly. Under Fu Yanxiu's gaze, she smiled slightly and returned the same mockery to him: "You don't think narcissism is cute, do you? If you're trying to attract someone's attention in this way, that's also ridiculous."
After saying that, he picked up the textbook on the table and left.
Fu Xuefan stared at her back in a daze. After a moment of surprise, he angrily said, "Brother, look at her. Who does she think she's talking to? This uneducated person..."
Fu Yanxiu frowned, stunned for a moment, then bent down and picked up the draft paper on the ground where she had just written the exercises.
He took the pages of draft paper in his hand, was silent for a moment, and looked at Fu Xuefan: "Do you have any of Zhong Fei's old notebooks or exercise books here?"
“Who would keep her things?”
Fu Xuefan looked annoyed, then thought for a moment and said, "...it seems there are a few papers."
"Give it to me." Fu Yanxiu said.
After a moment, Fu Xuefan handed him a stack of things, looking puzzled: "What do you want this for?"
Fu Xuefan's attention wasn't on this. Fu Yanxiu took the stack of things and looked at the two obviously different handwritings. Something in his mind suddenly exploded...
