"Master, Young Master Cao has sent someone to deliver a book." As the two were talking, a doorman came to report.

"So fast." Fu Man'er turned to leave, but after a few steps she turned back and said.
"Brother, sit down and rest for a while. I'll go see what book Brother Zixuan brought me."
After saying that, the little girl ran out like a butterfly, her back view showing great anticipation.
Brother Zixuan? Cao Zixuan?
Xu Yi's mind conjured up that face, which was even more beautiful than a woman's, and he remembered how often the man would visit the Xu family.
No, the main thing is to get closer to Fu Man'er.
It's one thing to be ignorant when you're young, but why are you still getting close to Man'er now? Haven't you been beaten enough by him?
Thinking this, Xu Yi followed Cao Zixuan out, his whole body radiating a chill. He wondered how many punches Cao Zixuan could withstand now.
When he arrived at the door, he found two carriages already parked outside, both of which looked exquisite and luxurious.
He had some difficulty distinguishing which carriage belonged to Cao Zixuan. Fu Man'er was nowhere to be found, and only the coachman was standing there with the horse in his hand.

"Hey, move aside, you're blocking our young lady's way." A maidservant stepped out of a carriage ahead and called out to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi didn't stand at the main entrance, nor did he block anyone's way, but he still stepped back a bit after hearing what the maid said.
The young ladies from these wealthy families have many rules and regulations, and I've heard that Fu Man'er often has young ladies from various families visiting her place.
No matter what, he wouldn't let Fu Man'er's business be delayed.
Just as they stepped back two steps, the young maid helped a beautiful young woman slowly walk down.
This woman is Chu Yiyi, the daughter of the wealthy Chu family in town.
At the tender age of sixteen, she was a renowned beauty in town, and also possessed great talent. So many suitors came to the Chu family home to propose marriage that they practically wore down the threshold.
Chu Yiyi noticed Xu Yi as soon as she came out. This man was very conspicuous, with a cold and aloof aura that made him hard to ignore.
Who is this person? Judging from his clothes and appearance, he should be the young master of some family, but why has she never seen him before?
"Miss?" the maid supporting her whispered, noticing how strange it was that her mistress was standing there.

Chu Yiyi withdrew her gaze. Coming from a wealthy family, even if she wanted to know who this man was, she couldn't just go up and ask him directly.
Once we're inside the bookstore, we can have the servant inquire about it.
"Miss Chu."
"Manager Fu".
No sooner had she left than she bumped into Fu Man'er, who was coming out of the side door.
Chu Yiyi can be considered a major customer of their Fu Ji restaurant. She usually reserves a private room and the cost of tea and snacks is quite high each time she comes.
The young lady was a bit temperamental, but for the sake of the money, Fu Man'er didn't mind.
The two didn't have much of a relationship. After Fu Man'er met Chu Yiyi, she specially called over the waiters and asked them to take good care of her.
After she finished speaking, she walked towards Xu Yi. "Brother, why did you come out?"
Chu Yiyi, who had just stepped across the threshold, heard her shout.

It turns out this is Manager Fu's brother; I've never heard anyone mention that she has a brother before.
Fu Man'er runs this bookstore entirely on her own, and she doesn't usually show up at the store often.
She also hired someone specifically to stay in the shop as the manager, so not many people knew that she was the owner of this bookstore.
"Miss, Manager Fu's elder brother is quite handsome," said the maid beside her.
From the moment she stepped off the carriage, her young mistress's eyes fell on that young master several times.
"This servant thinks he is much more presentable than those young men who came to propose marriage to our family."
Chu Yiyi felt the same way. Some of the people who came to propose marriage were people she knew, and some were people she didn't.
They come in all shapes and sizes, tall and short, fat and thin, but none of them are as good-looking as the man I just met.
What a pity...
He was just the older brother of a bookstore owner; the Chu family was destined to look down on such a family background.

"Let's go, have someone pick out some new storybooks for me." Chu Yiyi stopped thinking about the problem; thinking about it too much would be pointless.
Xu Yi, who was outside, was unaware that he had already been disliked. He stayed by Fu Man'er's side to keep an eye on Cao Zixuan.
"Brother and Zixuan haven't seen each other for a long time. Zixuan just returned from the capital today."
As Fu Man'er walked, she said that all the newly arrived books had to be put into the warehouse for registration and filing before being placed in the bookshelves in the lobby.
Now Fu Man'er led Xu Yi toward the warehouse.
"He just came back from the capital and came to deliver the book to you?" It takes about five or six days to travel from the capital to here by carriage.
Cao Zixuan, having traveled a long and arduous journey, did not return to the Cao residence to rest first, but instead came to deliver a book to Fu Man'er.
"Yes, Brother Zixuan is so kind. After he finished his business in Beijing, he went to several places to buy books for me."
“He wrote to me a few days ago saying that he had bought a lot of new and interesting books.”
"Moreover, these books are not available around here. I can already imagine that in a few days, there will be a long queue of people waiting to rent them."

"Brother Zixuan is so kind. Every time he goes out, he brings me books. Not only does he bring them himself, but he also lets me..."
Fu Man'er was still chattering away, completely unaware that Xu Yi's face was growing increasingly dark.
For some reason, Xu Yi was very unhappy to hear Fu Man'er say that Cao Zixuan was good.
“Brother, look, that’s Brother Zixuan.” After all, it had been several years since they last met, so Fu Man’er made a point of telling him who Cao Zixuan was.
Even without Fu Man'er saying it, he knew that among the group of servants in short shirts and trousers, only one person was wearing a white long gown.
"Brother Zixuan," Fu Man'er called out as she approached.
Fu Man'er always called Yu Miaoyi "pretty auntie," while Cao Zixuan completely inherited his mother's beauty.
However, he was different from Miaoyi; he was not the kind of delicate beauty, but rather like a peach blossom.
When you see him, your eyes light up, especially when he smiles. His phoenix eyes tilt upwards, making you want to smile along with him.
"Man'er, look..."

Cao Zixuan only noticed that there was another person behind Fu Man'er halfway through his sentence.
The man looked familiar, but when he saw him clearly, his expression changed. It was none other than the big devil from the Xu family.
Cao Zixuan recalled how, when he was a child, he often got beaten up by Xu Yi for pinching Fu Man'er's cheeks.
At that time, he was too proud to cry even after being beaten, and could only order his servants to teach Xu Yi a lesson.
Unfortunately, the servants were no match for Xu Yi and were quickly subdued. Before Cao Zixuan could even escape, he was beaten up again.
This kind of thing happened countless times when he was a child, and he was overjoyed when he heard that Xu Yi was leaving.
He just didn't expect that Xu Yi would go to find him before leaving, and threatened that if he found out that he dared to pinch Fu Man'er's face again, he would break his hand off.
Having already had his arm dislocated once, Cao Zixuan trembled with fear. Under Xu Yi's tyranny, even though his hands were itching, he didn't dare to pinch Fu Man'er's cheek.
They've endured this for so long, and now they're both adults. Their upbringing has taught Cao Zixuan that there are differences between men and women, and his childhood behavior is no longer appropriate.
"Xu Yi, you're back." Speaking of which, he and Xu Yi are the same age, although Xu Yi is a few months older than him.

Yu Miaoyi always told him to call Xu Yi "Big Brother," but Cao Zixuan never did; he always called Xu Yi by his full name.
Xu Yi didn't like him, so he just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.
"Brother, why don't you go sit in the inner room first? I'll come over after Zixuan and I finish cleaning the books here."
This time, Cao Zixuan brought back two whole carriages full of books, and she couldn't find any to read, which solved her immediate problem.
"I'll go with you." Xu Yi refused to go in, intending to help, but he didn't know where to start.
"Xu Yi, I said you should just go inside and rest. You're such a roughneck, don't ruin Man'er's books. I went to a lot of trouble to get them for you."
Sometimes it's no wonder Xu Yi couldn't help but take action; Cao Zixuan's mouth was quite sharp.
"Sigh, I'm not talking to you anymore. I need to help Man'er tidy up. Just stand there and don't make things worse."
As he spoke, Cao Zixuan even gave Xu Yi a provocative look. Whether he did it on purpose or not, he actually walked over to Fu Man'er and started choosing books together.
Xu Yi looked at the two figures that were almost touching and found them extremely displeasing.
Discussion group
What a strange feeling!
After tidying up the books, Cao Zixuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. You know, doing things under Xu Yi's murderous gaze was quite stressful.
