Chapter 49
Under Xu Xun's fiery gaze, Shen Tingzhou gritted his teeth and answered the call.
A voice that was a little bit arrogant and pretentious came from the other end, "Tingzhou, I haven't contacted you for a long time, are you okay?"
Shen Tingzhou felt Xu Xun leaning a little closer to him, and his voice unconsciously became tense, "I'm fine, how about you?"
Fu Huaifei still spoke in the same tone, "I'm fine too, don't worry about me."
Shen Tingzhou dreamed of the 1950s and 1960s, and felt that everyone was wearing a Zhongshan suit.
Fu Huaifei coughed a few times, raised his head slightly, and revealed his beautiful neck again, making the atmosphere sad.
"The last time we parted, we were so hasty that I didn't even have time to say goodbye properly. I didn't say what I wanted to say to you, and I didn't give you the gift I wanted to give you."
Xu Xun leaned over to the phone and said, "Uncle, speak human language instead of reading those messy prose."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Fu Huaifei's neck shrank, he was confused and uncertain, "Xiao Xun?"
Xu Xun naturally took Shen Tingzhou's phone and said, "I'm with Doctor Shen."
Shen Tingzhou frowned, feeling that this remark was a bit strange.
Xu Xun said calmly, "Uncle, please continue. Doctor Shen and I are listening."
Fu Huaifei stretched his neck again, but there was no more sadness in his expression. He could only say dryly, "Last time I went to a cat cafe with Tingzhou, I asked someone to make a video and planned to give it to him."
Shen Tingzhou's eyes lit up slightly. It was the video of him petting Baiwan Cat and the dancing cat.
But thinking that he was a cat owner and had vowed to love his cat at home the most, Shen Tingzhou suppressed the joy in his heart.
Xu Xun glanced at Shen Tingzhou, then said, "Then send it over."
Fu Huaifei said modestly: "It has been sent today."
Although he will be going back in two days, he still retains his old ways and likes to send letters.
Xu Xun: "We got it. Anything else, uncle?"
Fu Huaifei: "...No more."
Actually, there is a little bit.
The last time he said goodbye to Shen Tingzhou, he was not in good condition. In Xiao Sang's words, he was so thin that he looked unrecognizable. So he did not go out to see Shen Tingzhou off when he left.
As a respectable person, Fu Huaifei wanted to make up for the regret of last separation in an elegant way.
"Actually, I..." Fu Huaifei seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end, he could only sigh, "Tell Tingzhou to take good care of himself."
After all, he and he are not destined to be together, so why force it?
"Got it." Xu Xun smiled, "Uncle, I also wish you and Butler Sang happiness."
After hanging up the phone, Fu Huaifei lay gracefully on the head of the bed. After a few seconds, he suddenly raised his head. What did it mean to wish him and Butler Sang happiness?
Sang Yan walked in carrying a tray.
Seeing Fu Huaifei frowning, as if in deep thought, Sang Yan put down the tray and asked gently, "What's wrong, sir?"
Fu Huaifei took the water that Sang Yan handed over and said, "I was thinking about what Xiaoxun said."
Hearing Xu Xun wished them happiness, Sang Yan's handsome face twisted slightly, and then he was filled with righteous indignation, "How could he slander our innocence in front of Dr. Shen?"
Mr. Mingming has already withdrawn. How could such a respectable gentleman still be subjected to such slander?
Sang Yan's words made Fu Huaifei sad again, and he smiled sadly.
"Being misunderstood is my destiny. I'm used to it." He then coughed twice.
Sang Yan quickly pulled the velvet quilt over him and said distressedly, "You are still sick."
Fu Huaifei was helped back to the bed. Sang Yan tucked in the quilt for him, lowered the curtains, and then went out with the tray.
As soon as he walked out, Sang Yan received a call from Sang Qing.
"Father, ah, are you and Mr. Fu going back tomorrow? We may not be able to go back for a few days. Mr. Fu is sick. He has a skin disease."
Sang Qing frowned. "Skin disease? Contagious?"
Sang Yan said quickly, "No, it could be the wind or an allergy. Sir, your face is chapped. You can't go out for the next two days."
Sang Qing: “…”
-
The old couple of the Fu family returned two days earlier than scheduled.
On a weekend morning, Shen Tingzhou went to the Fu family's residence in Kyoto with Xu Xun and the housekeeper.
After arriving at the place, Shen Tingzhou got off the car and saw a middle-aged man wearing a suit and white gloves, who was calmer and more meticulous than Sang Yan, standing at the door.
Xu Xun lived in the Fu family for a long time when he was a child, so he was naturally very familiar with Sang Qing and they had a very good relationship.
He walked over and greeted, "Uncle Sang."
Sang Qing had a warm smile on his face, "Master Xiaoxun, the Madam is waiting for you inside."
Sang Qing glanced at the butler beside Xu Xun and politely, "Long time no see."
The butler said with the same smile and the same tone, "Long time no see."
Not sure if it was because of preconceived notions, but Shen Tingzhou always felt that these two ordinary greetings concealed flashes of swords and sabers, as if in the next moment they would tear off their suits, draw their swords against each other, and fight to the death.
Sang Qing is a very British butler, strict, serious and capable.
In front of him, Shen Tingzhou straightened his back unconsciously and entered the villa with Xu Xun.
Shen Tingzhou thought that Xu Xun's grandmother would be an old noble lady, with a graceful and elegant temperament, kind and friendly, and very fond of the younger generation.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Fu was not wearing any jewelry except for a simple wedding ring.
She was wearing a striped wide-necked shirt and baggy pants, and her long silver hair was tied up in a bun. She looked young and fashionable, and didn't look like someone in her seventies at all.
Shen Tingzhou rarely commented on other people's appearance, but when he saw Xu Xun's grandmother, he couldn't help but say, "You look really young and in good spirits."
Mrs. Fu smiled brightly, "Thanks to technology, we old babies who have money and time can become ageless beauties."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Old Madam Fu looked at Shen Tingzhou kindly, "No matter how many cosmetic surgeries you do, you can't compare to real young people like you. Doctor Shen is really a beauty to behold. I heard that my youngest son fell in love with you at first sight."
Shen Tingzhou was sweating profusely.
Xu Xun helped out, "Grandma..."
Old Madam Fu waved her hands at him and said, "I know, I know. I knew about it before your uncle did."
Xu Xun glanced at Shen Tingzhou, who happened to look back at him, his eyes empty and confused. He obviously had not expected Mrs. Fu to have such a personality, and he was unable to resist for a moment.
Old Madam Fu suddenly called Shen Tingzhou's name, and Shen Tingzhou quickly looked back when he was called.
Mrs. Fu asked, "What do Dr. Shen's parents do?"
Shen Tingzhou said, "Doing scientific research in Antarctica."
Mrs. Fu was obviously very satisfied. "He is from a family of scholars. Doctor Shen must be a good student, right?"
Shen Tingzhou said modestly: "It's OK."
Mrs. Fu: "Xiaoxun was a good student and had a good personality when he was in school, but that was in the past. Since he was given the word "evil", he has become withdrawn and sullen. He is not as cute as he was when he was a child."
The butler interrupted, "I testify that this is the case."
Xu Xun had a paralyzed face and said nothing.
Old Madam Fu sighed, "He has lost all sense of beauty. It would be better to call him Xu Dai than Xu Xun."
Butler: “Yes.”
Seeing them joining forces to besiege Xu Xun, Shen Tingzhou whispered, "Actually... his personality is pretty good now."
Old Madam Fu sighed, "As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder."
Shen Tingzhou was shocked, "No..."
Before he could finish, the housekeeper agreed, "Indeed, Doctor Shen has a patient filter for the young bad guy."
What the hell is this little bad boy!
Xu Xun couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he pulled Shen Tingzhou up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to my old room."
Mrs. Fu: “Yo yo.”
Butler: "Tsk tsk."
Shen Tingzhou was pulled up from the sofa by Xu Xun and forced to follow him upstairs, turning his head to look at the sofa frequently.
Old Madam Fu and the housekeeper looked at the two of them with unfathomable expressions, and Shen Tingzhou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Shen Tingzhou whispered, "Isn't this bad?"
Xu Xun snorted coldly, "It's even worse to stay here and listen to their weird talk."
Just as Shen Tingzhou was hesitating, the door of the villa opened and Fu Huaifei, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with waist-length hair, walked in, followed by his butler Sang Yan.
Mrs. Fu exclaimed, "My actor son is back?"
Fu Huaifei paused for a moment, then walked back the same way and walked out of the house.
Sang Yan chased him anxiously, "Mr.
Shen Tingzhou: ...
Did the old lady apply Hedinghong on her lips? Why is it so poisonous?
Mrs. Fu said to the housekeeper, "Excuse me."
The butler smiled and replied, "I'm used to it."
The two of them picked up the black tea brewed by Sang Qing and took a sip elegantly.
After the butler finished drinking, he slowly looked at Sang Qing and said, "Today's tea seems a little astringent."
Sang Qing's expression remained unchanged as he took the tea from the butler and said, "I'll go make another cup."
The housekeeper reminded: "I prefer domestic tea."
Sang Qing remained calm, "Okay."
Butler: "Sorry for the trouble."
Sang Qing: "You're welcome."
Looking at the fake smiles on their faces, Shen Tingzhou felt that a fight could break out at any time.
Xu Xun, who was standing by, said, "It's impossible to fight."
Shen Tingzhou looked over suddenly, and then realized that the other party had guessed his thoughts. The temperature on his face rose, and he obediently went back to the room with Xu Xun.
-
Xu Xun's room remained the same as before and had not been changed.
The first thing Shen Tingzhou noticed when he entered was the height markings on the wall, which had several marks made on them with a red marker.
The lowest one only reached Shen Tingzhou's thigh. The image of Xu Xun's little ball appeared in his mind, and Shen Tingzhou felt soft in his heart.
Shen Tingzhou pointed at the red marker and asked, "How old are you?"
Xu Xun came over and said, "Two years old."
Shen Tingzhou was shocked, "You are this tall at the age of two?"
Shen Tingzhou leaned over and took a look at the specific number on the height chart: 110 centimeters.
Just as he was wondering how a two-year-old child could be so tall, Xu Xun said, "I think when my mother was drawing the line, I suddenly stood on tiptoe. It was so long ago that I don't remember it clearly."
When Xu Xun talked about his deceased mother, there was not much emotion on his face.
Shen Tingzhou felt uncomfortable hearing this, and just as he was about to say something to comfort her, a familiar voice was heard outside the window.
Xu Xunchao glanced downstairs and said to Shen Tingzhou, "There are some melons you like to see. Come and have a look."
Don't say that...
He doesn't really like looking at melons, he just eats them occasionally.
Shen Tingzhou walked over silently, and Xu Xun opened the window for him, and the sounds downstairs became clearer.
It was Sang Qing who was scolding Sang Yan.
"I've said before that Young Master is different from other people. He needs to be cautious, careful, and careful in his daily life."
Sang Qing's tone was not severe, but Sang Yan, who felt deeply disappointed with his father, lowered his head.
"You've conditioned the young master to be so accustomed to you that he can't even say a word. Look at Young Master Xiaoxun. He only left after Madam had said so many things to him."
This can actually become an exaggeration.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun in shock, but Xu Xun obviously didn't think this was an exaggeration.
He raised his hands and covered Shen Tingzhou's ears, with an attitude of "This is my bad comment, don't listen to it."
Xu Xun leaned very close to Shen Tingzhou, and one of his shoulders was against his chest, which made Shen Tingzhou feel as if he could hear his heartbeat, and his body stiffened slightly.
But Sang Yan thought this was a compliment and wanted to say a few words for his teacher, but he didn't dare to talk back to his father.
"Not only can he not speak, he is also frail and sickly." Sang Qing frowned slightly, "Since you graduated and stayed with him, how many new illnesses has he developed? Now he can't even bask in the sun. Is this your good care?"
Sang Yan was extremely ashamed.
Sang Qing's tone softened. "Think carefully about what I said today. If you really can't do this job, I can arrange for you to go somewhere else."
"I understand, father."
Sang Yan hung his head, feeling extremely depressed.
Sang Qing didn't say anything else, turned around and went back to the villa, leaving Sang Yan alone in emo.
Shen Tingzhou was a little worried about Butler Xiao Sang. He felt that he was quite frustrated. After all, he loved this job so much and invested all his time and energy into it, but in the end he got a poor review.
Xu Xun let go of Shen Tingzhou, "Uncle Sang is right."
Shen Tingzhou looked at Xu Xun, "Ah?"
Xu Xun: "My uncle was not like this before. Although he was hypocritical, dramatic, petty, liked to attract everyone's attention, and loved to portray himself as a tragic figure, and..."
Shen Tingzhou had been waiting for Xu Xun's "but", but he didn't expect that "although" would be so long.
Shen Tingzhou waited and waited, and finally waited for Xu Xun to say "but".
Shen Tingzhou listened carefully, but Xu Xun only said, "But he was not so exaggerated before."
Shen Tingzhou: ...
You do understand though.
Sang Yan is really too used to Fu Huaifei. Fu Huaifei is a playful person. On this basis, Sang Yan has increased his efforts to cooperate with him, making Fu Huaifei's threshold higher and higher. Now he has become the princess and the pea.
Xu Xun: "In the past, when my grandmother scolded him, he would hide in the corner and act out all kinds of tragic scenes. But when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he would come back and pretend nothing happened."
Why does Shen Tingzhou feel that Fu Huaifei in the past was so pitiful?
Thinking about how he had performed a tragic opera in his heart alone, but no one paid any attention to him, he could only wipe his tears, return home pitifully, and try to hide the fact that he had cried.
Why did Shen Tingzhou find that scene a little cute when he thought of it?
Xu Xun looked over with resentment, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Tingzhou restrained his expression for a second and said honestly: "Nothing."
Xu Xun stared at Shen Tingzhou closely, "I know what you are thinking."
Shen Tingzhou played dumb with a guilty conscience, "Ah? I, I didn't think anything."
Xu Xun said in a deep voice: "You feel sorry for him, and you also think he's lovable!"
Shen Tingzhou's eyes wandered and his voice was very soft, "Actually, you are like this sometimes too."
Very coquettish, lying down when disagreeing with others, sometimes childish and pretentious, but also very cute...
Xu Xun understood the hidden meaning of Shen Tingzhou's words, and his throat became sticky again, "Don't you think I'm much better than him?"
In terms of the level of achievement, Xu Xun is definitely better.
So Shen Tingzhou nodded slightly.
Xu Xun leaned his head over and said loudly, "But I still want you to be tired because you said I was not good."
Shen Tingzhou felt a heaviness on his shoulders but a lightness in his heart. He pushed Xu Xun once, but when that didn't move, he stopped pushing.
-
At lunch time, Xu Xian's grandfather, Mr. Fu, just came back from outside.
Unlike the outspoken old lady Fu, Mr. Fu is the calm and taciturn type. In the old lady's words, he is a gourd with a sawed mouth.
Mrs. Fu shook her head. "I talked even less when I was young. I didn't know much back then, so I just looked at the face."
Mr. Fu was a little helpless, "It happened many years ago."
Mrs. Fu ignored him and said to Shen Tingzhou, "Doctor Shen, you should choose someone who is considerate and has a good personality in the future. Don't choose someone who is evil, poisonous, or has funeral rites. It's unlucky."
Shen Tingzhou couldn't say yes or no.
The old lady's "evil" name was obviously directed at Xu Xun. It seemed that the whole family didn't like the name he changed.
Xu Xun was obviously used to being squeezed, and he took a piece of food from Shen Tingzhou with his chopsticks, "Eat."
The old lady sighed and said, "If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. However--"
She glanced at the dining table and asked, "Why didn't my drama-loving son come down to eat? He's crying in his room while hugging Xiao Sang?"
Sang Qing heard this and said, "I'll go upstairs and take a look."
The old lady waved her hands and said, "No need, let him cry, she is also a girl made of water."
Shen Tingzhou: Poof——
Fu Huaifei upstairs didn't cry. He leaned on the rattan chair by the window and let Sang Yan braid his hair.
In order to take care of Fu Huaifei's long hair, Sang Yan knows how to braid it in more than a dozen different ways.
Sang Yan used colorful ropes to braid a flower fairy hairstyle for Fu Huaifei. After that, Sang Yan took a small flower-shaped hairpin and inserted it into Fu Huaifei's long braid.
Fu Huaifei really loves beauty, but today they are at home after all, so he is a little worried about his mother's mouth, but Sang Yan made it really beautiful.
Fu Huaifei looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but feel proud of himself, but asked Sang Yan -
“Isn’t this look bad?”
Fu Huaifei was already planning to find a new Chinese-style outfit to wear.
Sang Yan was absent-minded and was stunned. "Sir, you don't like this braid? Then I'll take it off."
Fu Huaifei was silent for a few seconds, put down the mirror in his hand, turned around and looked at Sang Yan, "What's wrong with you today?"
Sang Yan shook his head and silently began to unbraid Fu Huaifei's hair.
Fu Huaifei took the hair with the beautiful hairpin back from Sang Yan's hand.
Sang Yan's mind was full of what his father had said before, and he didn't notice Fu Huaifei's resistance. He reached out to touch Fu Huaifei's hair, and Fu Huaifei tilted his head. He reached out to touch Fu Huaifei's hair, and Fu Huaifei tilted his head.
After several times, Sang Yan finally came to his senses, "Sir, do you like it?"
Fu Huaifei drooped his eyelashes, "So what if I like you? If I go down, people will definitely talk about me."
If it were normal times, Sang Yan would stand firmly on Fu Huaifei's side. Even if the "enemy" opposite was Fu Huaifei's mother, Sang Yan would block all attacks for Fu Huaifei.
But Sang Yan was so shocked that he opened his mouth for a moment but said nothing.
Fu Huaifei didn't get the answer he wanted, and his expression was a little awkward, "Speak up, why don't you speak?"
Sang Yan pursed his lips for a long time and said harshly, "Let me take off your braid for you."
Fu Huaifei's eyes widened suddenly, then he quickly climbed onto the bed and covered himself with the quilt, "I'm not going down, I don't want to eat."
Sang Yan: ...
-
When Sang Yan, who was full of worries, was sighing in the backyard, a shadow came over, looked up at the person who came, and his lips moved twice.
"Doctor Shen?"
Shen Tingzhou handed over a cup of hot tea, "Are you okay?"
"Thank you." Sang Yan took it with a depressed mood, lowered his head and took a sip, his expression a little stiff.
Who made this tea? It tastes so bad. Sang Yan swallowed it with difficulty.
"Are your father and the butler about the same height?"
"Do you think I'm an unqualified housekeeper?"
Shen Tingzhou and Sang Yan spoke at the same time.
Both of them were surprised by the questions asked by the other.
Shen Tingzhou felt that due to Sang Yan's personality, he would not find anyone to share his inner confusion.
Sang Yan had not expected that Shen Tingzhou would actually care about the height of his father and housekeeper. He felt that Dr. Shen was not the kind of person who would care about such things.
But Shen Tingzhou was indeed so bored that he stared at the housekeeper and Sang Qing in front of him for a long time.
After lunch, when the food was almost digested, Mrs. Fu suggested playing tennis.
Shen Tingzhou had just finished playing a game with her and was defeated 4-1. Now Xu Xun took her place.
Looking at the butler and Sang Qing standing on both sides of the tennis ball, Shen Tingzhou, who did not have very high tastes, began to pay attention to their heights.
Sang Yan cast a glance towards the tennis court and said decisively, "Of course my father is taller."
Because the two people were not standing side by side, the angle of view was different and their heights were also different.
"I feel..." Shen Tingzhou compared it again and again, "Almost the same."
Sang Yan still insisted on his point of view, "My father is tall."
Since there was no conclusion to the debate, Shen Tingzhou simply sat down next to Sang Yan.
Xu Xun on the tennis court jumped up to catch the ball, his stretched limbs slender and powerful, the hem of his clothes swaying with his movements.
Looking at Xu Xun swinging his racket and spiking the ball, Shen Tingzhou said in a gentle voice, "I think you are a very responsible housekeeper."
Sang Yan's heart moved, and he looked at Shen Tingzhou in a daze.
Shen Tingzhou turned his head and said sincerely: "The first time I met you, I felt that you were very capable."
Sang Yan lowered his head, "But... I'm not a qualified housekeeper."
He is a third-rate butler who makes his master's health worse and his ability to bear things worse.
But he really couldn't refuse Mr.'s request. He wanted Mr. to be happy, hoped that everything in the world would go according to Mr.'s wishes, and hoped that Mr. would always be surrounded by happiness and beauty.
Sang Yan was disheartened. "Doctor Shen, why do I fail the harder I try?"
Shen Tingzhou said, "I don't know what a qualified housekeeper looks like, but I think you have actually changed. Don't you think Mr. Fu's complexion has improved a lot recently?"
Sang Yan, who was in deep self-doubt, shook his head in confusion.
"Sometimes I can understand you." Shen Tingzhou let go of his expression and pursued the most real feeling in his heart. "I couldn't bear to refuse him. I felt that it was actually no big deal to go along with his wishes. It would also make him happy."
After a pause, Shen Tingzhou added, "I'm talking about cats. You know I like cats very much. Sometimes I really can't resist their coquettishness."
Sang Yan nodded in agreement and looked at him with eager eyes, "Then how did you do it?"
Shen Tingzhou: "We must not compromise on matters of principle, but we can discuss minor matters."
Sang Yan: "What do you mean in principle?"
Shen Tingzhou cited examples such as "physical health, moral issues, and legal issues."
Sang Yan was confused, "Do cats also have moral and legal issues?"
Shen Tingzhou: "...Yes, you don't know if you don't raise it."
Sang Yan: “Oh.”
After learning some lessons from Shen Tingzhou, Sang Yan gained some confidence and prepared to go upstairs to find Fu Huaifei.
But before going upstairs, he pleaded with Shen Tingzhou, "Mr. has had his hair braided. Doctor Shen, can you please talk to Mrs. Fu so that she won't bully Mr. Fu anymore?"
Sang Yan could feel that the old lady liked Shen Tingzhou very much. If he said it, the old lady would most likely listen to him.
Shen Tingzhou is not so optimistic, and...
"I think so. You don't have to protect Mr. Fu so much, because with you around, Mr. Fu won't be angry for too long."
Shen Tingzhou was almost about to say that Sang Yan was very good at coaxing Fu Huaifei.
Seeing that Sang Yan seemed to understand, Shen Tingzhou spoke more bluntly, "The old lady can train Mr. Fu's endurance. If he can't bear it anymore, you can comfort him in private."
Sang Yan suddenly understood.
Although Mr. Wang still has to face rumors and harm, at least he can be himself openly.
Sang Yan regretted his previous behavior very much. By taking apart his husband's braid, he was actually preventing him from being himself.
Sang Yan's eyes sparkled with tears. "Doctor Shen, you are right. No matter what happens, I should stand firmly with Mr. Shen, be his backing, be his spear, and be his most loyal supporter!"
Shen Tingzhou: ...
It might be a bit unfair to Sang Yan to say this - his chicken skin beans have popped up again.
Shen Tingzhou suppressed his embarrassment, smiled and waved, "Go quickly."
Sang Yan nodded vigorously to Shen Tingzhou, then ran towards his teacher.
Shen Tingzhou looked at Sang Yan's back: If this is not love...
-
On the tennis court, the winner between Xu Xun and Mrs. Fu was decided. Xu Xun lost the last game by one goal.
Shen Tingzhou was in awe of Old Madam Fu. "She's amazing! We young people are so weak compared to her."
The last sentence is Shen Tingzhou's self-examination.
After listening to this, Xu Xun picked up his tennis racket and went back to the court.
Shen Tingzhou: Huh?
Xu Xun restarted the game with Mrs. Fu and defeated her 3:0.
Fu Huaifei, who had been stuck in the room for the whole morning, came out after Sang Yan's persuasion.
He was wearing a sky-blue new Chinese style suit, his long hair was braided at the back of his head and embellished with simple flowers. He had a kind of classical beauty as gentle as jade, completely different from the pale and handsome vampire look he had when he first met him.
Mrs. Fu smiled and said, "Are you ready to dress up?"
Fu Huaifei was about to go back, but Sang Yan stopped beside him and whispered something to him, and he walked over reluctantly.
This time, Mrs. Fu did not tease him anymore. She opened the water bottle and drank two sips of water.
Mrs. Fu went off the court to rest, and Shen Tingzhou played a game with Xu Xun, and in the end he narrowly defeated Xu Xun.
Shen Tingzhou was in great form, flexing his wrists, preparing for another round, when Sang Qing came over with some refreshments.
As he passed the butler, he was obviously at least three centimeters taller than the butler.
Shen Tingzhou's eyes followed Sang Qing's back. No matter how he looked at it, he felt something was wrong. It was apparently fine before, so why did it suddenly get higher? Could it be that -
Butler Sang put on insoles to increase height!
Did old housekeeper Sang hear what he said to Sang Yan? But he didn't seem to be the kind of person who would fight for supremacy.
Looking at that upright and serious face, Shen Tingzhou really couldn't imagine him going back home to put on his height-increasing shoes.
But it's so much higher, so obvious.
Shen Tingzhou subconsciously looked at Sang Yan beside Fu Huaifei. The other party also discovered the problem. He could hardly control his expression and the corners of his mouth kept twitching slightly.
The moment his eyes met Shen Tingzhou's, Sang Yan moved away in panic.
Oh my God, how could his father...
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
The butler seemed to have noticed the problem as well. He glanced at Sang Qing's shoes, then left the court. When he came back, he had also grown taller.
Looking at the butler who was a little taller than Sang Qing, Shen Tingzhou's eyes sparkled.
It's rolled up, it's rolled up!
They rolled up the height-enhancing insoles!
When Mrs. Fu was drinking tea, she accidentally spilled some tea on Sang Qing's sleeves. "Are you okay?"
The boiling tea did not make Sang Qing feel a bit upset. "It's okay, ma'am. I'll go back to my room and change my clothes."
Sang Qing walked back and unbuttoned the sleeves of his shirt, revealing a corner of his tattoo.
Although it was only a corner, one could still tell that the tattoo covered a large area. Shen Tingzhou was shocked when he took a quick glance at it.
Is it a flower arm?
The calm and serious old housekeeper Sang actually has a big tattoo on his arm!
