Chapter 43
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun with guilt and suspicion, and after a long while he uttered a weak voice, "It's impossible, how could I..."
"If you say there is no such thing, then there is no such thing." Xu Xun didn't say anything more, turned around and walked downstairs.
His attitude made Shen Tingzhou even more uneasy. He followed Xu Xianshen and asked carefully, "Did I really..."
Xu Xun stopped, turned to look at Shen Tingzhou, and asked a soul-searching question, "Have you thought about it?"
Shen Tingzhou was stunned again, not understanding what Xu Xun meant.
What does it mean that he has "thought about it"? What has he thought about? Has he thought about kissing him?
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but glance at Xu Xun's lips, feeling suspicious. Could it be that he really...
God, even if Xiao Xu's lips looked soft, he couldn't kiss her while he was drunk.
This is the seven forms of love, it is a crime and it is hooliganism!
When Shen Tingzhou was silently collapsing, Xu Xun suddenly said, "I lied to you. You didn't kiss me last night."
Although Shen Tingzhou had a good temper, he almost swore when he heard Xu Xun's sudden turn of events.
The reason why he didn't burst out was because Xu Xun's eyes became sharp.
Xu Xun: "This is the result of being drunk outside. You have to believe whatever others tell you. Even if it didn't happen, you have to swallow the shame."
It was a really exciting and lively educational class that made us sweat!
Shen Tingzhou was speechless and could only feel ashamed and guilty.
Xu Xun did not mention the Lu Yuan incident last time, but only reminded Shen Tingzhou, "You must be on guard against others. Don't do this again next time."
Shen Tingzhou lowered his head like a primary school student who had made a mistake, and answered honestly: "...I know."
Xu Xun's tone softened, and his eyes softened, "Come downstairs and eat something. I made you some hangover soup."
Shen Tingzhou followed Xu Xunshen obediently, looking at his tall and straight back, he couldn't help but sigh -
Although Teacher Xu lied to him, Teacher Xu's starting point was good!
As Shen Tingzhou sat in the restaurant drinking hot soup, he felt so comfortable that the folds of his stomach and intestines relaxed.
Alcohol is indeed a bad thing. Stay away from alcohol and stay away from drunken fraud!
Just after finishing his soup, Shen Tingzhou's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing that it was Zhou Zitan calling, Shen Tingzhou put down his chopsticks and answered the phone.
"Hey, Xiao Zhou." Shen Tingzhou felt a burning gaze coming from the side immediately after he said these three words.
Xiao Zhou seems to be a taboo in this villa, and if you are not careful it will cause a storm of "What if it was Xiao Zhou..."
Shen Tingzhou's heart sank and he regretted saying this name.
Zhou Zitan on the other end of the phone didn't notice Shen Tingzhou's nervousness, and his first sentence was very suggestive.
"Doctor Shen, I called you last night, but you hung up on me. You hung up on me several times in a row. I didn't sleep well last night."
Shen Tingzhou looked towards Xu Xun, who neither dodged nor evaded, but acted righteously and confidently.
Could it be that——
Is this also part of the educational lesson? Is Mr. Xu telling him that when he is drunk, he will not only be deceived, but also cannot protect his own property?
Shen Tingzhou turned his attention back to the call and said to Zhou Zitan, "I drank too much yesterday, so I might have pressed the button accidentally."
Zhou Zitan was disappointed: "I wanted to go with you, but I didn't expect you to leave by yourself."
Shen Tingzhou smiled dryly and changed the subject, "What time did you go back yesterday?"
Zhou Zitan said, "Five o'clock in the morning."
Shen Tingzhou was shocked, "So late?"
Zhou Zitansi didn't think anything of it. "Isn't that what going to a bar is all about? If you don't play until three or four in the morning, it's not called going to a bar."
Listening to Zhou Zitan's energetic voice and thinking of himself who was suffering from a headache and weakness, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but feel envious.
It’s true that being young is good.
Xu Xun's voice came from the side, "Eat first, the food will get cold soon."
Shen Tingzhou said to Zhou Zitan, "Let's stop talking. I'll eat first and you should have a good sleep."
Zhou Zitan: "I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm going to go see my brother later."
Shen Tingzhou: Young people have really good physical strength!
After hanging up the phone, Xu Xun asked, "Was Xiao Zhou also there yesterday?"
When Shen Tingzhou heard him mention Xiao Zhou, he was inexplicably frightened. "It wasn't an appointment. We met by chance. You know, young people like to go to bars."
"I don't know." Xu Xun blew the hot air on the teacup and said lightly: "After all, I am not as young as this little Zhou Nian."
The housekeeper came over and asked Xu Xun, "Have you eaten enough?"
Xu Xun didn't answer.
The butler placed a bag of vinegar and an empty seasoning bottle in front of him and said, "When you are full, pour out the bag of vinegar."
Shen Tingzhou, who felt that it was not good to eat and drink for free, said hurriedly, "Let me do it."
"Let him do it," the butler said with a smile, "If he's too idle, things will go wrong."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
When Xu Xun, with a paralyzed face, was pouring vinegar into the seasoning bottle, he failed to control the force and a lot of it spilled out, and the restaurant was filled with the smell of vinegar.
Shen Tingzhou quickly took the napkin and wiped it, "Let me do it."
When he took the seasoning bottle, he realized that it was not that Xu Xun was clumsy, but that the mouth of the bottle was too narrow.
Shen Tingzhou suspected that this was not used to store vinegar, "Did the housekeeper take the wrong bottle?"
Xu Xun snorted softly, "It's just making things difficult for me."
It turns out that this small bottle is a new type of trick. Shen Tingzhou said he has learned a lot.
However, hearing Xu Xun's tone, it seemed that there was another conflict between him and the housekeeper. Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but ask, "Did you have a fight?"
Xu Xun glanced around to make sure there was no suspicious figure, then he said, "I coughed twice this morning, and he insisted on giving me medicine. I refused to drink it, so he started to act weird."
Shen Tingzhou was stunned and looked at Xu Xun, "Are you sick?"
Xu Xun coughed and said, "It's okay, there was a little cool breeze."
Shen Tingzhou poured a glass of water and handed it over, "Then drink more hot water. It's easy to catch a cold and cough in the morning and evening."
Xu Xun hummed and said casually, "I was wearing a little thin last night."
Shen Tingzhou: "Did you hear it last night?"
Xu Xun: "I was in a hurry to go out last night."
Shen Tingzhou's heart skipped a beat. "...was it because of the cool breeze when you came to pick me up?"
Xu Xun coughed twice again, "Nothing..."
The housekeeper appeared again after Xu died. "Hurry up and cough twice so that Doctor Shen can hear it. You won't be able to hear it when you recover."
What an elusive butler! Shen Tingzhou didn't even see how he came over.
Could it be that he has mastered... the snake-skin movement?
Under the butler's gaze, Xu Xun took a big gulp of cough syrup with a paralyzed face, and the butler left with satisfaction.
After the people left, Xu Xun looked at Shen Tingzhou eagerly, "You saw, he..."
Shen Tingzhou has always felt that this kind of cough syrup is easy to stick to the throat, making the voice sticky when speaking.
"Stop talking." Shen Tingzhou said caringly, "Wait half an hour and drink some hot water."
Xu Xun: ...
Just as Shen Tingzhou was about to clean up the things on the table, Xu Xun suddenly pulled his hand and covered his mouth with it.
"..." Shen Tingzhou looked over blankly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xun grabbed Shen Tingzhou's wrist, "You don't want me to speak? Why don't you just cover my mouth like this?"
Shen Tingzhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Xu Xun still held Shen Tingzhou's hand and covered it with his mouth, and his warm breath continued to fan Shen Tingzhou's heart, as if he was kissing the palm of Shen Tingzhou's hand.
Shen Tingzhou felt an itch in his heart and subconsciously avoided Xu Xun's sight, "I didn't... stop you from talking."
Xu Xun's eyes were fixed on Shen Tingzhou, and he whispered, "Yes."
As long as Shen Tingzhou stayed by his side, he didn't want to talk and only wanted to kiss Shen Tingzhou.
-
On Wednesday morning, Shen Tingzhou went to Su Yu's house as usual.
As soon as the door opened, Shen Tingzhou's hand was caught again, but this time it was not to cover his mouth, but Su Yu placed it on his round belly.
Shen Tingzhou clearly felt something moving under his palm, twice.
He is not an obstetrician and gynecologist, and he rarely comes into contact with pregnant women other than Su Yu. This is the first time he has felt the power of a little life.
Su Yu smiled and said, "Doctor Shen, this child calls you dad."
Shen Tingzhou's emotion was withdrawn in a second, and he also quietly withdrew his hand from Su Yu's belly.
Su Yu was a little disappointed, "Doctor Shen, don't you like it?"
Shen Tingzhou has mastered the art of pretending to be deaf and dumb in this house. "Mr. Yu is not at home?"
Su Yu paused, "Do you miss Ah Yan? Then I'll call him back."
Shen Tingzhou quickly stopped him and said, "I was just asking casually."
"Doctor Shen, don't be embarrassed. I won't be jealous. I'll go and call." Su Yu turned around to get his cell phone.
Seeing that he was serious, Shen Tingzhou said in panic: "It's really not."
Su Yu's current month does not affect his flexibility at all, bypassing Shen Tingzhou, "Ayan must be very happy to hear that you miss him."
Shen Tingzhou broke out in a cold sweat, "...Don't disturb Mr. Yu's work."
"No." Su Yu went around Shen Tingzhou's left side, then around Shen Tingzhou's right side, "Doctor Shen, please get out of the way."
At this time, a voice came from the second floor, "What are you doing?"
Shen Tingzhou raised his head and saw Yu Mingyan, a man with broad shoulders and long legs, standing at the stairs.
Hey, isn't this person at home?
Before Shen Tingzhou understood what was going on, Su Yu turned around and said happily to Yu Mingyan, "Ah Yan, Doctor Shen is holding me."
Shen Tingzhou didn't dare to confront him head-on, fearing that he might hurt Su Yu, so he adopted the one-on-one tactics used on the basketball court, holding Su Yu with his arms outstretched to prevent him from making the phone call.
Su Yu leaned very close, and at first glance it looked like she was nestling in Shen Tingzhou's arms.
Shen Tingzhou was so scared that he quickly raised his hands: It wasn't me who pushed Concubine Xi.
Shen Tingzhou retreated, and Su Yu followed suit, trying to create the illusion that "Dr. Shen is holding me."
Not only did Yu Mingyan not say anything, he also took a photo with his mobile phone.
After Yu Mingyan finished taking the photo, Su Yu held her belly and trotted over, "Did you take the photo? Let me see."
Yu Mingyan smiled and handed him the phone, "I took the picture."
Su Yu walked over and saw Shen Tingzhou with a terrified look on his face, and herself, who was like a little bird in his arms.
"Ah, why do I feel like a fat bird?" Su Yu was a little unhappy, "Ugly."
虞明宴捂住蘇俞的眼睛，一本正經道：“破除障眼法之術。”
他拿下手，再問蘇俞，“你再看，是不是很好看？”
蘇俞盯着照片看了幾秒，“好吧，是有一點好看。”
他又跑到沈亭州面前，仰着漂亮的臉蛋，中二道：“沈醫生，我需要你的力量！”
沈亭州伸出手指點在蘇俞眉心，“加印，破除之術。”
蘇俞很配合猛地睜大眼睛，然後又回到虞明宴身邊，看着手機的照片，托着腮說，“哇，現在有億點那麽好看。”
虞明宴摸了摸他的腦袋，眼睛染着笑意。
看到這幅溫馨的畫面，沈亭州表情跟着柔和。
蘇俞從虞明宴懷裏探出腦袋，“果然這個家不能沒有沈醫生。”
虞明宴附和，“是啊。”
沈亭州像一個假笑男孩：你們夫夫開心就好。
中午沈亭州留下來吃飯，怕蘇俞真的會因為變圓潤而敏感，他沒提任何相關話題。
吃過飯，沈亭州準備消完食再陪他做幾組簡單的懷孕操。
他倆看了一檔綜藝打發時間，主持人cue流程時提到了減肥這個話題，沈亭州神經一跳。
“你跟虞先生……”
他本來想問蘇俞跟虞明宴最近好不好，這是很普通的日常對話，通常用于沒話找話，但不适用于蘇俞，因為沈亭州不知道他會不會語出驚人。
比如說，我們不好，除非沈醫生你搬過來住之類的。
話在沈亭州舌尖滾了好幾遍，他愣是沒有找到合适的開場白，感覺問什麽都很危險。
蘇俞歪頭看着他，似乎在等他的下文。
沈亭州嘴角抽動，情急之下問出一個最沒水準的問題——
“你跟虞先生，有沒有想過孩子的性別，想要男孩，還是女孩……”
說這些話時，沈亭州感覺自己已經穿上了汗衫，手搖蒲扇，像每一個在門口曬太陽的大爺。
蘇俞摸着肚皮，“都可以，但我聽說懷男孩的時候，皮膚會變得不好。沈醫生，我現在是不是很醜？”
“怎麽會！”沈亭州聲音拔高，“如果你的皮膚都叫糙的話，那清水煮出來的雞蛋都能長出刺來。”
蘇俞垂着眼睫說，“可是，我現在都不敢照鏡子。”
沈亭州問，“是怕被自己美到嗎？”
蘇俞揚起頭，讓沈亭州看自己的側臉，“我臉上都長痘了。”
沈亭州湊過去，定睛一看，“這不是痘，是痣！怎麽這麽會長，太漂亮了！”
蘇俞伸出腳讓沈亭州看，“可我腳也浮腫了。”
沈亭州驚怒道：“你媽生你的時候，一定是天天盤玉，吃白團子吧！”
蘇俞說，“我是小爸爸生的，不是媽媽。”
沈亭州：……
蘇俞又看着自己的手說，“我的手也不好看。”
沈亭州看過去，震驚道：“蔥段見了你的手，都得慚愧到跳進油鍋裏！”
誇完手，沈亭州又誇蘇俞的鼻子眼睛嘴巴，他只恨自己當初沒跟小桑管家學習學習。
如果小桑管家在這裏，肯定能瞬間想出上千個贊美詞。
就在沈亭州抓耳撓腮想詞時，蘇俞雙肩抖動得越來越厲害。
沈亭州忍不住看過去，就見他眼裏盛滿了笑意。
蘇俞從一旁掏出手機，“阿宴你聽見了嗎，沈醫生誇我呢，你的詞居然沒有他多。”
沈亭州：……
咱們就說，能不能讓虞總好好工作？
而且，這個電話什麽時候打出去的，他怎麽一點都沒察覺！
虞總本人顯然沒有被打擾的煩躁，虛心道：“那我一會兒請幾個歌劇表演老師教教我。”
蘇俞笑得東倒西歪，“你也覺得沈醫生像歌劇演員？”
沈亭州震驚，怎麽會，難道……
他無形中被小桑管家跟傅先生傳染了！
挂了電話，蘇俞舔着草莓味棒棒糖，一臉天真地看着沈亭州，“沈醫生，你繼續吧，我聽着呢。”
沈亭州：“……沒詞了。”
蘇俞一秒垂淚，“我就知道我不好看了。”
鐵石心腸的沈醫生心道，你別演戲了，我不會再上當了！
見沈亭州遲遲不來哄他，蘇俞抽噎，“我就知道我不如那個小周重要。”
沈亭州怎麽感覺這套話術很耳熟，似乎在哪裏聽過類似的句式？
蘇俞越演越上瘾，抽過面巾紙繼續垂淚。
雖然知道是假的，但流淚對眼睛不好，孕期心情也不宜起伏太大，沈亭州無奈道：“好了，是我錯了。”
蘇俞擡頭眼淚汪汪看他，“你錯哪兒了？”
沈亭州思索了一下他姑父給他姑認錯的場景，“錯在不該……頂嘴？”
蘇俞搖頭，“不是，錯在你今天晚上不留下來。”
沈亭州：……
有時給人做家庭醫生也挺無助的。
-
結束了忙碌的一天，晚上回去沈亭州進廚房準備好好犒勞自己一番。
正在切牛腩時，周子探來了一通電話。
賀延庭回家這半個月，每天都嚷嚷着要去找江寄，周子探想帶他哥出去玩兩天。
但賀然婕不太放心，一是周子探粗心，二是失憶後的賀延庭跟他不對付。
周子探打電話過來是叫上沈亭州一塊去，怕沈亭州有其他工作，放出豪言要用錢把沈亭州的時間砸出來。
沈亭州：“小周，這不是錢的問題。”
周子探報了一個數字，沈亭州頓了一下，“……主要是我有時間。”
周子探安下心，“有時間就好。”
沈亭州良心過意不去，“我給你打一個八折吧。”
土豪小周表示，“不用，我的財務師剛給我打了這個季度的分紅。”
沈亭州震驚，“你還有財務師？”
周子探反問，“不是每個人都有嗎？”
沈亭州：“……不是每個人都有。”
周子探：“哦，我這個是我媽給我找的，從十六歲就開始幫我管錢了。”
雖然周子探不是賀然婕親生的，但賀然婕對他真是沒話說。
聽到十六歲的周子探，就有了別人奮鬥一輩子都沒有零花錢，沈亭州：你們這些有錢人，我跟你們……好好去旅游。
像周子探這種富二代，只要他們不去創業，銀行卡裏的錢将是無窮無盡。
好在周子探沒有一顆想要證明自己的心，躺在金山上吃喝玩樂。
行程由周子探一手安排，沈亭州只要帶上自己就可以了。
賀然婕不讓他們走太遠，周子探就乖乖在本市玩兒。
兩個多小時的車程，周子探跟賀延庭吵了好幾架。
第一架是周子探想玩賀延庭的積木，對方不讓他碰，他偏要摸，還說積木是他買的。
第二架是賀延庭不讓周子探坐到他旁邊，周子探非要挨着他。
第三架是賀延庭吃什麽，周子探就跟着吃什麽，賀延庭生氣的不讓周子探跟他吃一樣的東西。
第四架是賀延庭困了，想要睡覺，周子探就一直在旁邊沖他的睫毛吹氣，賀延庭氣得打他。
沈亭州第n遍說，“不要鬧了！小周，跟哥哥道歉。”
周子探不情不願，“對不起。”
賀延庭壓根不聽，摁着周子探繼續打。
周子探朝沈亭州投來委屈的目光，告狀道：“他還一直打我。”
沈亭州拉住賀延庭，“別打了，弟弟都道歉了。”
被拉開的賀延庭生氣地說，“我要下車，不想跟他坐一塊，我找江江。”
沈亭州熟練勸道：“江江在上班，等他不忙了，到時候我讓他給你打電話行不行？诶诶，你看，那是什麽？”
賀延庭跟周子探一起朝窗外探頭。
賀延庭貼着車玻璃，“什麽？”
周子探學他貼着車玻璃，“是啊，沈醫生，什麽呀？”
……沈亭州瞎說的，他也不知道外面有什麽。
好在賀延庭的注意力被周子探吸引，皺眉用力推他，“離我遠點。”
周子探故意擠着賀延庭，被打了也要挨着他。
沈亭州無奈，“你就不能自己坐在自己的座位？”
周子探回頭，捂着嘴小聲對沈亭州說，“小時候他都不許我這樣黏着他，以前我想跟他出去玩，他直接一個眼神看過來，根本不會跟我說這麽多。”
沈亭州莫名有點心酸。
但看見周子探故意捅一下摸一下賀延庭，還假裝自己不是故意時，沈亭州又莫名想打他。
周子探真的很像那些手欠，想要博取關注度的弟弟，沒得到鐵拳的教育之前作天作地。
賀延庭越是煩他，他越是往賀延庭面前湊，并且樂此不疲。
失憶的賀延庭跟過去沒有半分相似，甚至都不像他自己小時候。
據周子探說，小時候的賀延庭很高冷，從來沒有孩子氣的一面，壓根不是他現在展現出來的性格。
這一路下來，沈亭州感覺自己拿那麽多錢是應該的。
兩個人分開都很聽話，湊一塊就是熊孩子一號，熊孩子二號，作為大家長沈亭州并不省心。
到了周子探訂好的度假村，三個人稍作休息，吃了點東西就一塊去泡溫泉。
周子探手賤的毛病并沒有改，下水之後一直制造意外，往賀延庭身上潑水。
賀延庭并不慣着他，兩個人在溫泉池裏打了起來。
兩個人你潑我，我潑你，沈亭州倒是給他倆澆了一個落湯雞。
Shen Tingzhou's forehead twitched, and he emphasized, "Stop making trouble."
The two men stopped obediently, and when Shen Tingzhou turned around to wipe his hair with a towel, the two quiet men attacked at the same time, and the battle escalated.
Shen Tingzhou heard something wrong with the sound of water, turned around and saw He Yanting pushing Zhou Zitan into the hot spring pool.
Shen Tingzhou's pupils trembled, "Stop!"
When Zhou Zitan came out of the water, his nose was bleeding.
He always showed mercy when he took action, but He Yanting was just the opposite, so when they really started fighting, Zhou Zitan was always the one who suffered the loss.
Shen Tingzhou went over to check and confirmed that Zhou Zitan was okay, so he let him go back to the lounge first.
Zhou Zitan covered his nose and looked back every few steps, with a pitiful look in his eyes, and repeatedly assured himself that he would not make trouble anymore.
Shen Tingzhou no longer believed it. "Go back first and drink some water. The temperature here is too high. Your nose will be uncomfortable soon."
Seeing Shen Tingzhou's firm attitude, Zhou Zitan walked away with a pout.
As soon as he left, He Yanting became obedient. Shen Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to see Zhou Zitan leaning against the door with only a pair of eager eyes.
Shen Tingzhou: "...Go back!"
Zhou Zitan left disappointed.
-
The lounge had Japanese style sliding doors and tatami mats. Because the layout was the same, Zhou Zitan mistook their lounge and went into the one next door.
Seeing that their clothes were not inside, Zhou Zitan frowned in annoyance.
Just as I was about to leave, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Zhou Zitan was too lazy to look up or to respond. When he was walking out with a sullen look, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by the other person and pressed against the wall. The man bent down and kissed him.
Zhou Zitan was caught off guard and felt a pain on his lip. He immediately became angry. He twisted the opponent's arm and kicked him with his knee.
The man seemed to have expected him to resist, so he held Zhou Zitan's knees with his hands and said, "It's me."
Zhou Zi detected the other party's voice, but the cruelty on his face did not disappear. He pushed his hand away and hit his ribs hard with his knee.
Yu Jurong groaned, but did not retreat. He just said, "I kept all the evidence from last time."
Zhou Zitan was slightly stunned, and then he released half of his strength.
Yu Jurong pinched Zhou Zitan's earlobe and asked, "Did you miss me?"
Zhou Zitan shook his head and said with a sour face, "I miss your mother. Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
Yu Jurong twirled the red earring on Zhou Zitan's ear and chuckled, "What can I do for you?"
Zhou Zitan showed a disgusted expression, "You really don't have any disgust, you're just poking my ass..."
Before he could finish, Yu Jurong pinched his ear and bit it again.
Zhou Zitan was very upset, but he was also worried that Yu Jurong would really call the police. When he was looking confused, Yu Jurong put his tongue inside him, and Zhou Zitan's eyes suddenly widened.
At this time, Shen Tingzhou's voice came from next door, "Where's Xiao Zhou?"
Zhou Zitan, who originally wanted to punch Yu Jurong, suddenly froze in place, not daring to struggle anymore, until the tip of his tongue was bitten.
Yu Jurong let him go, looked at Zhou Zitan's angry but suppressed expression, smiled, and whispered into Zhou Zitan's ear -
"Doctor Shen and your brother are here. Do you want to stay with them..."
Zhou Zitan glared at him, "Are you a pervert?"
Shen Tingzhou couldn't see Zhou Zitan next door, and was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he took out his cell phone and called the other party.
