Chapter 46
Su Yu knocked on the door, "Doctor Shen."
Su Qiang inside the door was excited, "I'm hidden, go open the door."
Amid these two urging voices, Shen Tingzhou surprisingly calmed down, and even developed a mentality of "as long as he is not embarrassed, nothing can make him embarrassed."
Shen Tingzhou walked over and opened the door in the best mental state.
Su Yu glanced into the room. He seemed innocent, but actually there was something mysterious going on. "Doctor Shen, why did you take so long to open the door? I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is there something in there that I can't see?"
Without waiting for Shen Tingzhou to speak, Su Jiang pushed open the closet and emerged impatiently.
Su Jiang laughed wildly, "Haha, you didn't expect that I'm here!"
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Shen Tingzhou had not expected Daxiang to be so impatient. No wonder he could never defeat Su Yu. She is not cunning at all.
Su Yu took a half step back in shock and sadness, "Doctor Shen, you, you guys..."
"That's right." Su Jiang unbuttoned two of her buttons and walked to Shen Tingzhou's side, "Dr. Shen and I are just as you think!"
Su Yu held her round belly and was about to fall down. "One of you is my brother, and the other is my...doctor, how can you do this?"
Su Qian smiled maliciously and stepped closer to Su Yu. "Sorry, brother, I used your Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou watched quietly as the two brothers performed this bloody drama.
It feels like these two can dance without him.
Su Yu was heartbroken and in pain. He bit his lip and shook his head desperately, "Impossible, impossible."
"Is it fun to lie to yourself?" Su Rong staged a classic villain self-explosion, "To tell you the truth, when you knocked on the door, I was lying on Doctor Shen's bed, wearing the clothes you wore, sleeping in the bed you slept in, hugging your old...your doctor."
Dr. Shen, who was slandered, smiled and smiled.
"Ah, my belly."
Su Yu held her stomach and shouted proudly, then slowly sat down on the ground.
Su Qiang snorted disdainfully, "Don't pretend, brother. You just fell on your butt, how could you have a stomachache?"
Shen Tingzhou frowned. That wasn't right. It seemed like this line should have been said by this “scumbag”?
Su Yu covered her stomach and said hoarsely, "My child, my child."
Su Rong laughed wildly at the side, "Su Yu, you have come to this day too."
A tall figure walked over quickly, pushed Su Qiang away, leaned over and held Su Yu's shoulders, "What's going on?"
Su Yu grabbed Yu Mingyan's clothes tightly and said in pain: "My children, they..."
Afraid that Yu Mingyan might misunderstand that the child was really in trouble, Shen Tingzhou was about to come out to explain, but Yu Mingyan picked up Su Yu and said, "Hold on for a while, I'll take you to the hospital right away."
"If anything happens to him and the baby in his belly..." Yu Mingyan glanced at him coldly, "I want all of you to be buried with him."
Shen Tingzhou: Poof——
He was overthinking it. Given the tacit understanding between this couple, how could Yu Mingyan not see that Su Yu was acting?
After Yu Mingyan finished speaking, he carried Su Yu towards the bedroom.
Su Yu suddenly stood up and shouted to Shen Tingzhou again, "Doctor Shen, I hate you!"
Shen Tingzhou: ...
"Be good." Yu Mingyan raised his hand and pressed Su Yu's head back into his arms, then carried him into the room.
Su Qiang then chased to the corridor and shouted a few vicious words commonly used by villains at Su Yu's closed bedroom door.
Shen Tingzhou closed his eyes and couldn't help asking, "Is there no one at your house at night?"
Su Jiang turned around and said, "Don't worry, our house is very soundproof."
Shen Tingzhou: ...Okay.
Shen Tingzhou pinched his nose and went back to his bedroom. He stopped when he noticed Su Jiang following him in and asked, "Anything else?"
Su Jiang suddenly became shy, twisting her body and not saying anything for a long time.
Shen Tingzhou has always been patient and waited quietly for Su Jiang's next words.
Su Jiang didn't say a word, but suddenly ran to the terrace. When she came back, she took out two thick photo albums and twisted her body to hand them to Shen Tingzhou.
Shen Tingzhou took it with confusion.
When I opened the album, it was full of Su Jiang's solo photos.
Originally, they were photos with Su Yu, but Su Jiang cut off Su Yu's half, leaving only her own photo.
"You said before..." Su Jiang deliberately didn't look at Shen Tingzhou, lowered her head and picked at her nails, "I was cute when I was a child, is that true?"
Shen Tingzhou was both amused and angry. He made a fuss for a long time, stuffed a note under the table, and climbed through the window in the middle of the night. It turned out that it was just to ask this question?
If he hadn't said it earlier, he would have thought Su Qiang wanted to...
Shen Tingzhou felt a little embarrassed when he realized that he was a little dirty. He opened the album again and said, "I think it's very cute."
He looked up at Su Jiang and asked curiously, "No one told you?"
Su Qiang stopped twisting her body and said gloomily, "My father often said that, but other people prefer Su Yu, including my father. They all think Su Yu is more like my father."
Shen Tingzhou didn't expect to accidentally touch upon Su Jiang's sore spot, and hurriedly tried to make amends, "I was talking about outsiders."
With Su Jiang's appearance when she was little, wouldn't the weird aunt have pinched her face until it turned red?
Su Qiang's face turned even uglier. "Every time we go out together, they always praise Su Yu."
Shen Tingzhou: ...It seems like I accidentally stepped on someone's pain again, Sao Aorui.
Su Qiang said fiercely: "So I will cut his hair off at night while he is sleeping, so that he will be too embarrassed to go out and act like a good boy."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Su Qiang: "But he was even more cruel. He tied me up and plucked my eyebrows one by one. I always trimmed them while he was sleeping. He always tortured me when I was awake."
Shen Tingzhou: Then you are a very nice person.
"Later, he met Yu Mingyan, and the two of them bullied me together. I hated them." Su Qiang looked at Shen Tingzhou with burning eyes, "Fortunately, you avenged me today!"
Shen Tingzhou: Meow meow meow?
What are you avenging? What are you vengeful for?
In Su Jiang's eyes, he had perfectly turned the tables on tonight's drama, so he went back to bed contentedly with his photo album.
-
Mr. Su's birthday party was very low-key, and he only invited some good friends with whom he had a good relationship.
What Shen Tingzhou never expected was that among the people invited by Su's father there was actually a housekeeper.
The housekeeper came over with a smile, "Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but glanced behind him, "Why are you here?"
"An old friend is having a birthday, so he came to have dinner." The housekeeper added, "Today, I am the only one here, not the young master."
Shen Tingzhou coughed and said, "Dad Su is in front."
The housekeeper looked at Shen Tingzhou with a smile, "Doctor Shen, come with me after dinner."
Shen Tingzhou heard it clearly and understood it, but he didn't know how to react. He subconsciously said, "Huh?"
The butler just smiled and said nothing more, then went to the front to greet the birthday star.
From the way the housekeeper talked to Su's father, the two seemed to be very familiar with each other. If you think about it carefully, it makes sense, as the housekeeper also attended the wedding of Su's father and Su Yu.
only……
Whose wedding did the housekeeper attend? Su Yu's father or Uncle San's?
Su Yu's father was not here. It was not known whether he was avoiding suspicion or was busy with something else.
Shen Tingzhou couldn't figure out the situation in his family, and didn't waste any time thinking about it.
Although Shen Tingzhou and Su Jiang's "relationship" has been made public, Su Jiang still prefers to observe secretly.
Every time, she would secretly contact Shen Tingzhou when Su Yu was not paying attention.
Shen Tingzhou's left pocket was almost filled with the small notes Su Jiang gave him.
Su Jiang walked over casually for the eighth time, quickly threw the thirty-seventh note into Shen Tingzhou's hand, and then left as if nothing had happened.
Why does it feel like they are meeting spies?
Shen Tingzhou found a place to open the note. The content was very simple, complaining about the ugly tie worn by a man present. On the note above, he was complaining about the man's watch.
Shen Tingzhou put the note into his pocket, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
If they were really spies, they would probably be fired by their superiors because the information they delivered was too boring.
Su Yu came over with a glass of juice. He had completely forgotten what happened last night and treated Shen Tingzhou, the "scumbag", the same as before.
"Doctor Shen, come back with us to have dinner tonight. Ah Yan brought back some Australian shrimps."
Thinking of what the housekeeper had just said, Shen Tingzhou pursed his lips.
Su Yu tilted his head and asked, "What's going on tonight?"
Shen Tingzhou nodded hesitantly.
Knowing that he really had something to do that night, Su Yu did not persuade him any further.
Not seeing Yu Mingyan at the venue, Shen Tingzhou wondered, "Where is Mr. Yu?"
Su Yu drank the juice and said, "I went outside to pick up my father."
Shen Tingzhou's expression was slightly silent. He paused for a few seconds before speaking, "Is your father coming over too?"
Su Yu said as a matter of course: "It's my father's birthday, of course he has to go home."
Shen Tingzhou quickly grasped the key words, "Go home? He lives here too?"
Su Yu smiled, a little nervously, "What else? This is also his home. Where else can he go if he doesn't come back?"
Shen Tingzhou said in his heart, isn't that embarrassing?
As if knowing what Shen Tingzhou was thinking, Su Yu bent his lips and said in a low voice, "Actually, my father was originally engaged to my second uncle."
With second uncle?
Su Yu: "I don't know if it was because of his constitution or because he didn't absorb enough nutrients in the womb, but my second uncle was often sick after he was born. My grandfather was quite superstitious, so he listened to a master and adopted my father and sent him to a temple for care."
"I don't know if it's a coincidence or if metaphysics really exists, but my second uncle's health has been getting better and better since he adopted my father."
As a staunch materialist, Shen Tingzhou would rather believe that this was a coincidence.
Children get sick very easily, but as they grow older, their immunity becomes stronger and it is normal for them to get sick less often.
Su Yu continued, "My father didn't know about this. After hearing about it, he went to the temple to visit my father and fell in love with him at first sight. He married my father despite his family's opposition, but my father liked my third uncle."
And so on and so forth.
After just a few sentences, Shen Tingzhou's CPU was almost burned out.
Su's father was originally engaged to his second uncle, but Su Yu's father intercepted his brother's marriage halfway.
In fact, Su's father neither likes his second uncle nor Su Yu's father. The person he likes is his third uncle.
Is the relationship so complicated?
Shen Tingzhou didn't understand why his third uncle was involved here. Didn't Father Su always live in the temple? How did he come into contact with his third uncle?
Su Yu has a reasonable explanation.
"My third uncle and second uncle are twins. My third uncle pretended to be my second uncle and went to the temple to see my father. My father knew that he would marry my second uncle in the future, and he wanted to get along well with his future partner, so he was always very nice to my 'second uncle', but in fact, it was my third uncle."
What a coincidence!
If Third Uncle hadn't interfered, Second Uncle and Su's father might have been together... not necessarily, after all, there was also Su Yu's father.
Su Yu chuckled.
Shen Tingzhou looked over and heard Su Yu say, "I was lying to you."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Su Yu's eyes curved, and he shook his head and said, "Doctor Shen is so cute, but it's a pity that I can't make you smaller, put you in my pocket and take you home."
Shen Tingzhou looked at his nose with his eyes, and then at his mouth with his nose, as if he heard nothing.
Not long after, Yu Mingyan and Su Yu's father walked in.
Seeing Su Yu's father walking towards Su's father, the second uncle who seemed to have been robbed looked normal, and the current third uncle also looked normal.
Now Shen Tingzhou was convinced of Su Yu's words. They really lived together and got along very well with each other.
Although Shen Tingzhou did not understand this kind of harmony, he was not a member of the Su family and did not need to understand.
-
After lunch, the housekeeper came to find Shen Tingzhou, "Doctor Shen, could you please take me home?"
Shen Tingzhou didn't ask the butler how he came back, he just nodded.
After staying at the Su family until two o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Tingzhou drove the housekeeper back.
On the way, Shen Tingzhou chatted with the housekeeper, "How did you get to know Father Su?"
"I know his teacher, and I got to know him by chance. Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I will go to him to drink tea and play chess." The butler looked distant, "It's been more than 30 years."
Shen Tingzhou was slightly surprised, "Then we have known each other for a long time."
The housekeeper said leisurely, "Yes, we were only seventeen or eighteen years old when we met. I remember that at that time, the third son of the Su family always climbed over the wall to look for him."
Shen Tingzhou's heart moved. It seemed that there was some truth in Su Yu's lies.
Butler: "But often they would not stay long before being beaten up by the eldest son of the Su family and then taken back."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Seeing that the housekeeper knew Su's father's teacher, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but wonder, "Do you believe in Buddhism too?"
The housekeeper said, "I don't believe it. I used to eat there for free. The vegetarian tofu in the temple is very good. Doctor Shen can go and try it someday."
Shen Tingzhou: "...Okay."
When we arrived at Xu's house, Xu Xun was scooping cat poop in the cat litter.
When he first started shoveling shit, he was fully armed, with a mask and gloves, but now he only has a shovel.
Looking at Xu Xun who was shoveling shit without changing his expression, Shen Tingzhou felt that he was becoming more and more like a cat dad, and a sense of relief inexplicably surged in his heart.
Xu Xun, who was standing in front of him, suddenly put the scooped poop in front of Xiao Yin Jianceng and asked, "Smell it for yourself. Does it stink?"
After saying this, he retaliated by picking up the clean cat litter and pouring it on the little silver gradient head.
Xu Xun turned around and saw Shen Tingzhou with a frozen smile. He raised his hand and silently wiped the cat litter off the kitten's head.
Shen Tingzhou was silent for a few seconds and said, "Do you want my help?"
Xu Xun held Xiao Yin Jianceng over, blew hard, looked at Shen Tingzhou and said, "It's clean."
...That's not the kind of help he was talking about, forget it.
Shen Tingzhou smiled and hummed, then picked up the cat and checked its butt.
Xu Xun had already wiped its butt, and Shen Tingzhou carried the clean little cat away from the area of malicious comments.
When the other two cats saw Shen Tingzhou coming, they came over and meowed, and it was obvious that they wanted to ask for dried fish and cat fries.
Shen Tingzhou held little Yin Jianceng in his arms and squatted down to touch the orange cat and the tabby cat. The two big cats kept jumping on him.
When Xu Xun came out after washing his hands, Shen Tingzhou was half-kneeling on the ground in a strange posture, with a cat on each shoulder. He walked over and caught the two cats that trapped Shen Tingzhou.
"What is this?" Xu Xun picked up two pieces of paper from the ground.
Shen Tingzhou looked over and saw Xu Xun had already spread out the note and read the words on it, "Don't leave tonight. I'll show you my other photos."
Xu Xun glanced at Shen Tingzhou quietly.
Shen Tingzhou felt inexplicably guilty. The orange cat clung to his knees and suddenly jumped onto his chest.
Shen Tingzhou groaned, fell backwards, and a lot of notes in his pocket fell out.
Xu Xun reached out to support Shen Tingzhou, then picked up the notes and silently put them into Shen Tingzhou's pocket.
"Don't lose it." Xu Xun said considerately, "It's such an important thing."
Shen Tingzhou's strange feeling disappeared, and he smiled and said, "It's not that important, I just spread it casually."
When he was at Su's house, he just didn't find a chance to throw it away, so he put it in his pocket.
Shen Tingzhou took out the notes from his pocket and threw them into the trash can.
Xu Xun's expression relaxed and he pulled Shen Tingzhou up from the ground.
Seeing the pale blue under Shen Tingzhou's eyes, Xu Xun frowned slightly, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shen Tingzhou was stunned for a moment, "I slept well, but I went to bed a little late."
Xu Xun used a cat strip to trick the three cats onto the sofa, then looked up and said to Shen Tingzhou, "Come and sleep here with the cats for a while."
Shen Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at the three furry cats licking their cat litter. He felt itchy inside and couldn't help but walked over. He said, "No, I'm not that sleepy."
Xu Xun said nothing, moved the three cats, and made room for Shen Tingzhou to lie down.
Shen Tingzhou was confused for two seconds, but still ran towards the cat nest formed by three cats with a happy face.
-
The housekeeper changed his clothes and went downstairs. Shen Tingzhou was lying on the sofa, surrounded by three cats with their paws tucked in, and Xu Xun.
Shen Tingzhou had fallen asleep, and Xu Xun watched him from a close distance.
The housekeeper walked over and said, "Don't take advantage of Dr. Shen when he's asleep. Be a man. Wait until he wakes up."
Xu Xun glanced at the housekeeper calmly.
The housekeeper asked, "Should I buy you a TV as a nest?"
Xu Xun snorted lightly, then lay on Shen Tingzhou's shoulder and ignored him.
The butler smiled lightly and left the living room.
Shen Tingzhou didn't feel how sleepy he was, but when he woke up, the sun was about to sink below the horizon.
The most well-behaved beluga cat was lying beside Shen Tingzhou, the big orange cat was licking its fur on the sofa, and Xu Xun was sitting in front of Shen Tingzhou with his back to him, bending down to give Xiaoyin a gradual stomach massage.
The last ray of daylight came in through the window, casting a hazy yellow hue on the living room, like an old, textured photograph.
Shen Tingzhou, Xu Xun, and the cat are all frozen in this picture.
This warm tone made Shen Tingzhou feel cozy and peaceful. He closed his eyes again and rested.
The sun sank completely along its track, and darkness enveloped us.
Shen Tingzhou sat up after regaining consciousness. Xu Xun tilted his head to look at him. His eyes were as dark as the night, but without a trace of gloom. Instead, they gave people a soft feeling.
Xu Xun asked, "Awake?"
Shen Tingzhou fluttered his eyelashes, looked away without making a sound, and nodded, "What time is it?"
Xu Xun said, "Six ten."
Shen Tingzhou responded and made small talk, "Where's the housekeeper?"
The corner of Xu Xun's mouth twitched slightly.
Shen Tingzhou found this somewhat amusing; it seemed they were quarreling again.
Xu Xun stood up and turned on the light in the living room. The light poured down and Shen Tingzhou squinted uncomfortably.
The butler came out of the study, "Dr. Shen, Prince Philip, what would you like to eat tonight?"
Prince Philip?
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun. This title was obviously directed at him.
The housekeeper asked with a smile, "I asked someone to make chicken soup this afternoon. Can I use the soup to cook some noodles?"
Shen Tingzhou: "Okay."
The butler did not ask his Master Philip and went straight to the kitchen to ask someone to start cooking the noodles.
After the butler left, Shen Tingzhou asked in a low voice, "Who is Prince Philip?"
Xu Xun's face was numb, "Stop using those weird and malicious names."
Shen Tingzhou did not ask any more questions. He secretly checked and found out that a Swedish prince and the prince who kissed Sleeping Beauty awake in "Sleeping Beauty" were also named Philip.
Well, there must be a profound meaning that he doesn't understand.
-
After returning home at night, Shen Tingzhou felt his pocket and took out a handful of small notes.
Didn't he throw the note away? Why is it still in his pocket?
Shen Tingzhou opened the note in confusion. The handwriting was no longer Su Qiang's dog-crawling handwriting, but sharp penmanship.
[It will be cloudy tomorrow, the temperature will be -1℃, please keep warm. ]
[I gave it a deep massage for ten minutes, and for its own good, it even bit me. ]
[I weighed Fat Orange today and he is already 18 pounds. I decided to help him lose weight. ]
[The bed is full of their shed hair. I don't like it, but I collected it and rolled it into a ball for you.]
【I had lunch at home alone today. 】
Shen Tingzhou spread out the notes, read them all one by one, and his lips softened.
He turned on the desk lamp, took out a pen, tore off a piece of paper, and wrote on it -
【You should also keep warm and drink plenty of hot water. 】
[Shen Shen is very naughty. I apologize to you on its behalf.]
[Orange cats really need to lose weight, being too fat can easily lead to complications. ]
[Thank you for helping me collect cat hair. I will make a keychain for you someday. ]
【Even if you are alone, you should eat well. 】
Shen Tingzhou replied to Xu Xun's note one by one, took photos, hesitated for a long time, and finally did not send them to Xu Xun.
Shen Tingzhou crumpled the paper into a ball, put all of it into the biscuit box, then got up to take a shower.
After taking a shower, he walked around the box of cookies twice with a confused expression.
When I received the note, I felt it would be bad not to reply, but it would also be a bit weird to reply to everyone.
Shen Tingzhou was in a state of internal conflict for a long time, but finally he made up his mind and sent the saved photos to Xu Xun. Then he pulled the quilt over his head, feeling inexplicably ashamed.
Half a minute later, Shen Tingzhou's cell phone rang.
Hearing the message alert, Shen Tingzhou did not immediately pick up his phone. He stayed under the quilt for a while, then stretched out a hand and quickly took the phone in.
Shen Tingzhou closed one eye and clicked on Xu Xunfa's message.
It was a photo of a finger wrapped in a Band-Aid, with two text messages on top:
【It's not just naughty.】
[The lower mouth is very heavy. ]
These two messages, plus a picture, washed away Shen Tingzhou's sense of shame. He lay on the pillow and replied by poking at the nine-square grid.
[Is it a severe bite? Take off the Band-Aid so I can see the wound.]
Xu Xun sent a video. He pointed the camera at his slender fingers, but Shen Tingzhou couldn't find a single tooth mark. Xu Xun said that the cell phone camera didn't capture it clearly and the tooth marks were very deep.
Shen Tingzhou suspected that he was slandering Shen, but had no evidence.
It's no wonder that Shen Tingzhou didn't believe him, Xu Xun had a criminal record in this regard.
Xu Xun sent a voice message saying, "I have tried hard to teach it, but it doesn't learn at all."
Xu Xun also said, "This may be because cats are difficult to tame. All cats are like this."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't stand it any longer, "...Don't talk to cats like that, they can understand."
When Xu Xun heard Shen Tingzhou's words, he slipped into the quilt. After a long time, he poked his head out gloomily and pressed the send voice button.
"They understand everything except my teachings."
"..." Shen Tingzhou decided to pay more attention to Xu Xun's fingers, "Is your hand okay?"
Xu Xun's voice was like a marshmallow in his mouth, very light and sticky. "What's the problem? It just hurts a little when I lift it."
Shen Tingzhou immediately said, "I'll talk about Shen Shen tomorrow."
Xu Xun's expression softened. "No need. After all, it's still young, so it's normal for it to be immature."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't tell for a moment whether he was a kind father or a strict father. Maybe he was both strict and kind.
Shen Tingzhou instructed earnestly, "If your finger is injured, rest early."
Xu Xun said, "It's okay. You slept a lot today, so you shouldn't be sleepy tonight. I'll talk to you."
Shen Tingzhou felt ashamed again. He pressed his heart and tried hard to suppress the feeling.
