Upon hearing this, Shu Hua stood up, put down her teacup, walked over and took her hand: "Yizhi, you've come."
Qin Xi nodded: "Jin Huan, are you ready to leave?"
"They were packing things inside. Here they are, coming out now."
Following her gaze, Xu Zi was skipping and hopping over, excitedly calling out, "Sister Yizhi, you've finally come! You haven't come to see me for days!"
His tone was just like a child who hadn't gotten any candy.
Qin Qi and Shu Hua exchanged a glance and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Are you all packed?" Shu Hua asked.
Xu Zi winked playfully: "Everything is ready, except for the east wind!"
Shu Hua: "It just so happens that Yi Zhi has arrived as well, so let's go."
As the group walked to the door, Shu Zhan ran up to them, clutching his back and coughing breathlessly.
Xu Zi covered her mouth and nose in disgust: "Are you trying to pass on your cold to me before I leave? How thoughtful of you."
"..." Just when he was about to catch his breath, she choked him and he started coughing again.
Shu Weishi came out and slapped him hard on the back. With a "smack," the coughing stopped.
Qin Xi and Lu Huai exchanged a glance. Good heavens, so he deserved a beating.
"Jin Huan is joking. He just doesn't want you to leave." Madam Shu looked at her kindly, then turned and glared at Shu Zhan.
"Uh..." Shu Zhan was confused by her glare and touched his nose. Thinking about the future, he decided to go along with her and say, "That's right, I can't bear to part with you."
Xu Zi curled her lip; only a fool would believe that.
She thought this in her heart, but couldn't show it. Xu Zi bowed gracefully to Shu Weishi, and then smiled sweetly at Shu Zhan: "Thank you for your concern, Young Master Shu."
For some reason, Shu Zhan felt a little cold.
He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and coughed awkwardly twice. Then he gestured to his mother with his eyes: See? They're not buying it at all.
His mother frowned: "Isn't that your fault? Your father made me fall in love with him back then!"
Shu Zhan: "..."
"Mother." Shu Hua walked over and took Shu Weishi's hand, nuzzling her shoulder: "Let Jin Huan get in the carriage quickly, so as not to keep Doctor Xu waiting."
Gently patting her hand, Shu Weishi said, "Then you should go quickly, it's still a bit chilly standing here."
Qin Qi watched from the side, her eyes lowered.
She has never called anyone "mother" before.
Thinking this, she felt the person beside her hug her and then tuck a stray hair behind her ear: "Go see Miss Xu off, and while you're at it, go for a stroll in the streets with Shu Zihui. You haven't left the manor for a few days. Come back when you're done having fun. I'll be waiting for you at the Minister's residence, okay?"
With a slight smile, Qin Xi said, "Okay."
...
The carriage slowly drove away, and Lady Shu turned and went into the mansion.
Shu Zhan only looked away when the carriage disappeared around the street corner. Turning around, he saw Lu Huai leaning against the wall with a look of amusement on his face.
"……what you do?"
"Tsk tsk tsk." Lu Huai crossed his arms in front of him, walked around him once, and said jokingly, "After this parting, 'even if I have a thousand kinds of feelings, who will I talk to about them?'"
Shu Zhan looked completely bewildered: "What does this mean..."
"I'm praising your captivating charm," Lu Huai said casually, gazing at the sky.
"Thank you." At first glance, Shu Zhan seemed quite pleased, as it was rare for Lu Changjue to praise him.
But upon closer reflection, something felt off.
Isn't "charming and alluring" a term used to describe women?
Coming to her senses, Shu Zhan realized Lu Huai was already quite a distance away. She gritted her teeth and pointed at him, yelling, "You bastard Lu Changjue, stop right there!"
