Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Do you still want me?
Chapter 65
On New Year's Eve, the Imperial Garden was filled with people. There were more than twenty servants alone. Everyone was busy and laughing.
As the bride, Shang Ziyi wore a red Chinese-style bridal gown with a slightly loose waist and abdomen, which perfectly covered her bulging belly.
She also had her hair done specially, with her hair tied up high. From a distance, she looked like a fairy who had fallen to earth.
The light shines on people, making them dazzled.
Fu Zhou's eyes kept wandering around her, and he couldn't hear clearly what others were saying. "What did you say?"
Mr. Fu snorted softly, "Your eyes are all on Ziyi. Can you still hear what I'm saying?"
Fu Zhou touched the tip of his nose and asked, "Grandpa, what did you just say?"
Mr. Fu said: "Take this opportunity to reconcile with the uncles in the family. We can't keep fighting like this as a family."
Fu Zhou wanted to reconcile with them, but the others were not happy about it.
"You know, this is not something I can decide," he said.
"Why not you?" Old Master Fu whispered, "Just ask your cousins to come back, and I'll talk to your uncles."
"Impossible." Fu Zhou said calmly, "We agreed to send him out for a year. How can he come back when the time hasn't come yet?"
"A harmonious family brings prosperity." Even when he was young, Mr. Fu hated evil and was full of hatred. Perhaps now that he's older, he's become more indifferent to things. "Harmony and happiness are the true joy of family."
"They need training." Fu Zhou glared at him and said, "Grandpa, you forgot that you promised me to do this."
Mr. Fu was speechless. This was indeed what he wanted.
"Can--"
"Now that we've done it, there's no way we'll give up halfway. Okay, let's not talk about them anymore."
Fu Zhou helped Mr. Fu walk to the dining table. "These are what Ziyi asked the servants to prepare. Please try them."
When Shang Ziyi heard Fu Zhou mention her, she stepped forward and said with a smile, "Grandpa, hurry up and make it. I'll eat with you."
Mr. Fu sat down first, and the other juniors followed suit.
Fireworks were set off in the distance, and someone clapped their hands, "So beautiful."
"Yes, it's really beautiful." Someone else echoed.
The fireworks burned for half an hour. They ate and watched at the same time. Fu Zhou was taking care of Shang Ziyi the whole time. He picked up the dishes and peeled the shrimps with ease.
My aunt joked, "Zhou used to dislike eating shrimp the most."
Second Aunt said, "It's more than just dislike, I really dislike it."
Third Aunt said with a smile: "Look now, Zhou likes it very much."
His aunts loved to tease him since he was a child. Fu Zhou was used to it. He glanced at Shang Ziyi and said something ambiguous.
"Yes, I like it." I like it very much, a love that is engraved in my bones.
Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the person he is talking about is not a shrimp, but a person.
My aunt said again: "Oh, Zhou can even say sweet words now."
Second Aunt raised her eyebrows: "Zi Yi is really good at training. Xiao Azhou's infatuated look is not as cold and indifferent as the outside world says. It is clearly——"
Third Aunt replied, "I love it very much."
Shang Ziyi: “…”
A blush crept up Shang Ziyi's cheeks. Under the table, where no one could see, she quietly tugged at the hem of Fu Zhou's suit, signaling him not to be so obvious or he would be laughed at.
Fu Zhou was not afraid, he even thought the show was not enough.
He held her hand, kneaded it gently, and said softly, "Would you like some spare ribs?"
Every time he ate ribs, he would remove the bones for her and give her the most delicious meat.
There was no one at home at that time, so it was okay to do any intimate actions, but it’s not possible now, because there are people here, including my parents.
Shang Ziyi said in a sweet voice, "My throat is uncomfortable, I won't eat."
Fu Zhou scratched her palm again, "Do you want to eat fish?"
This fish was cooked by Fu Zhou himself. It was sweet and sour and tasted very delicious. Shang Ziyi could smell it from a distance. As usual, since it was just the two of them, they could just eat it. If everyone else was around, she would feel a little embarrassed.
"No." She shook her head.
Fu Zhou saw through her thoughts, let go of her hand, and touched her waist instead, pinching it very lightly. "If you don't eat anything, your parents will worry."
The parents Fu Zhou mentioned were Shang Sen and Mrs. Shang.
At this moment, they were looking at him with raised eyebrows and smiles in their eyes. When they saw Fu Zhou looking over, they nodded.
Fu Zhou whispered, "Be good, you have to eat fish, okay?"
Shang Ziyi: “…Okay.”
Her voice was soft and sticky, and the word "good" went straight to the bone. Not only could men not bear it, but even women would feel numb all over when they heard it.
The three aunts smiled knowingly, and the other elders also laughed out loud.
Seeing how loving they were, Mr. Fu felt relieved. Azhou was aloof and arrogant. From childhood to adulthood, he could only count his friends on ten fingers, and he had very few close friends.
In addition, he acted decisively and offended many people, so he was afraid that he would be alone for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, I met Ziyi.
Old Master Fu became more and more satisfied with his granddaughter-in-law. He turned his head and said something to the butler behind him. The butler understood, turned around and left, and came back with the box in his hand.
Red wooden box.
Judging from the patterns on the box, it is very old.
Mr. Fu has a hobby of collecting antiques, and the item in the butler's hand must be a rare treasure.
Sure enough, it is true.
Mr. Fu signaled the butler to open the box, and what came into view was a pair of jade ruyi, which were of great value judging from their color and texture.
Mr. Fu smiled and said, "Ziyi, this is for you."
Shang Ziyi was flattered, "Grandpa, this is so precious."
Mr. Fu smiled faintly: "Compared to you, it's nothing. If Ah Zhou bullies you one day, you can hit him with this jade ruyi."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this.
My aunt spoke first, "Dad is right, Ziyi, if Azhou makes you angry, hit him with this."
Shang Ziyi's eyebrows curved and she said, "Okay."
Mrs. Shang came to the rescue, "Azhou is a good boy, he won't make Ziyi angry. But Ziyi has been spoiled since she was a child. I'm really worried that Azhou will be wronged."
"Mom, I'm not wronged." Fu Zhou grabbed Shang Ziyi's hand, squeezing and kneading it, "Meeting Ziyi is the happiest thing in my life."
"She doesn't have to do anything, I'll do it."
If they need to get closer, he can take ninety-nine steps and she can take that one step.
If she didn't want to leave, she could just stand there and he would take a hundred steps.
He doesn't mind paying more.
"Zi Yi, A Zhou is so good to you, you must remember it in your heart." Mrs. Shang said with emotion.
Shang Ziyi stared at Fu Zhou and said, "Mom, I know."
She remembered all the kindness he had shown her.
Fu Zhou played with her fingers, and while others were watching the fireworks, he whispered in her ear, "You don't need to remember anything else, just remember this: I love you."
His love may not be grand, passionate, or prosperous, but it is long-lasting.
A casual glance, a glance that lasts a lifetime.
The two looked at each other as if no one was around. After Fu Zhou finished his sweet talk, Shang Ziyi also said, "Husband."
Fu Zhou hummed.
She leaned forward and said, "I haven't given you a New Year's present yet."
"What are you going to give me?"
"Here you go."
Shang Ziyi put aside her shyness and held Fu Zhou's face. Under the fireworks, in front of everyone's gaze, she boldly kissed Fu Zhou on the lips.
"I love you too."
Shang Ziyi had never done anything so bold before, so after the kiss, she was too embarrassed to look at everyone. She tried to leave secretly several times, but was held down by Fu Zhou.
After all, Mr. Fu was a man who had experienced many ups and downs, so he didn't have any special reaction when he saw this scene. Instead, when others teased and laughed at him, he scolded them a few times.
Then it was time to distribute red envelopes.
After becoming a bride, Shang Ziyi received the most red envelopes.
Each elder carefully prepared one, and you can tell it’s a lot just by looking at the thickness of the red envelope.
In the end, she couldn't carry it, so Fu Zhou helped her.
After the elders had distributed their gifts, it was Fu Zhou's generation's turn. Several children were waiting with their hands outstretched.
Shang Ziyi took out the prepared red envelopes and handed them to them one by one.
The little ones were very good at dealing with things, and they kept calling their auntie and bride happy birthday.
Fu Zhou also sent out red envelopes and received blessings in return.
The servant laughed beside him.
Every year during the Spring Festival, the Fu family’s servants would receive red envelopes as a courtesy.
Mr. Fu sent out first, and after one round, the other elders sent out, and after another round, Shang Ziyi sent out.
Those who received the red envelopes were grinning from ear to ear.
Those who gave out red envelopes also smiled with their eyes curved.
Shang Ziyi was also laughing. Suddenly, another red envelope fell from her hand. She looked down and asked, "Mine?"
Fu Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Of course, my husband gave it to me, keep it."
Mr. Fu is very generous and gave the most generous gift.
Shang Ziyi felt around and seemed to feel something besides the money. "What did you give me?"
She wanted to open it and read it, but Fu Zhou stopped her and lowered his voice: "Good stuff, go back to the room and read it."
Shang Ziyi became more and more interested in the mysterious thing. Without waiting for the fruit to be served, she left with the red envelope, making an excuse to go back to her room to change clothes.
She went upstairs by herself, closed the door, locked it, and couldn't wait to open the red envelope.
The first thing that caught her eye was the money, followed by the letter, a letter written to her by Fu Zhou.
Not for my present self, but for my past self.
It starts with, girl.
He rarely called her like this. Shang Ziyi's nose felt a little sore and she sniffed lightly.
Maybe you have forgotten me, but I still remember you. I remember the time when you called me Brother Zhou. You said you would come to find me, but I waited for you for a long time, but you never came.
I think you are probably busy, don't worry, I have plenty of time to wait.
But year after year passed, why didn't you come?
Have you really forgotten Brother Zhou?
If that were the case, Brother Zhou would cry.
Can you hear me cry?
It doesn’t matter. If you don’t come to find me, then Brother Zhou will go to find you.
I believe I can always find it.
The signature was five years ago.
This was the first and only "love letter" written by Fu Zhou. During the long days of searching that followed, he was really looking for her.
Shang Ziyi watched with emotion, tears falling down her face and her heart trembling.
turn out to be--
All coincidences and unexpected encounters are the result of his careful waiting.
He restrained and forbeared the kiss on the cruise ship because he loved her.
Shang Ziyi found a pen and sat in front of the dressing table to write a reply.
She wrote only one sentence.
——Brother Azhou, your girl is back.
…
There will always be regrets in life, but fortunately they did not give up, and at the end of the dark night, they finally got the light.
*
On New Year’s Eve, everyone stayed up in the living room, smiling as they listened to the sound of firecrackers.
Shang Ziyi followed Fu Zhou to wish Mr. Fu a happy new year. Mr. Fu did not let her kneel, "Okay, that's enough."
Fu Zhou knelt down, and this kneeling was to thank Mr. Fu for raising him.
The three aunts softened their hearts and said with red eyes, "When did Azhou become so sentimental?"
Fu Zhou also knelt down to his three aunts. Without their protection, he would not be as happy as he is today.
This time, she cried even harder.
Shang Ziyi couldn't help crying, but fortunately Fu Zhou took care of her emotions and then pulled her aside to coax her.
Kiss her cheek, kiss her eyes, kiss her pink lips.
"Wife, help me."
Shang Ziyi was a little confused and didn't understand. Her deer eyes kept blinking, "What can I help you with?"
Fu Zhou put his arm around her waist.
"Please ask that little girl from five years ago if she still wants her brother Azhou."
