"May I ask your surname and age, young friend?" Butler Fu, hoping to get his young master to eat more, decided to try and strike up a conversation with the child. At least he'd find out where the meat sauce came from.
Su Chenqiu closed the lunchbox after seeing the last steamed bun being picked up. It was getting late, and he would go home after reading for a while longer.
"Don't call me little kid. My surname is Su. You can call me Xiao Su or A Qiu."
Fu Boyi found it a bit spicy and hadn't brought any water with him. Seeing a water bottle on the table, he asked, "May I drink your water?"
"Young Master!" Butler Fu began, but swallowed his words as the young master glared at him.
Su Chenqiu nodded: "You can drink the water inside, as long as you don't mind."
Fu Boyi picked up the kettle, opened the lid, and took a big gulp. The water tasted amazing! He'd never tasted water so good before. He immediately took another big gulp. If he weren't already full, he definitely would have drunk the entire kettle.
This startled the butler standing to the side. When did the young master start drinking water like this? He's usually so well-mannered, but now he's drinking water like he hasn't had any for days.
Is the water in this kettle also flowing particularly slowly?
Su Chenqiu was surprised that he could drink so much: "Drink slowly, don't choke."
Fu Boyi felt a warm sensation after drinking the water, even though it wasn't boiling water, but lukewarm water.
"This water tastes so good, I've never tasted such good water before."
Su Chenqiu also felt that the water at home tasted better, while the water outside had an indescribable taste. So whenever she went out, she would always carry a water bottle with her so that she could drink water easily.
"Young Master, is this water really that good?" Butler Fu asked with surprise. He knew the young master was very picky about food and drink; he rarely ate or drank anything special. He'd never seen him enjoy anything before.
Fu Boyi handed the kettle to the butler: "You'll know once you taste it. This water is delicious. It's just ordinary water, but the more you drink it, the better it tastes."
Butler Fu was very curious. He took the water jug and took a sip. If the young master didn't mind, why should he? As soon as the water entered his mouth, a sweet taste exploded in his mouth.
That one sip wasn't enough; he drank the rest of the water until there wasn't a single drop left in the kettle. Only then did he reluctantly put the kettle down on the table.
"Sorry, I drank it all at once."
Su Chenqiu smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I can't drink much anyway."
"Ah Qiu, may I call you that?" Fu Boyi asked.
Su Chenqiu nodded: "Of course, that's what other people usually call me. What should I call you?"
“I’m a few years older than you, you can call me brother or Boyi, it’s fine.” Fu Boyi felt that talking to others wasn’t so difficult for him.
Butler Fu noticed that since the young master had been spending time with this child, he had been smiling more often. While he found it unbelievable, he also saw it as an opportunity—a chance to change the young master's personality.
Su Chenqiu praised the other person's familiar face: "We look a bit alike. I have an older brother, so you can be my second older brother."
“Okay!” Fu Boyi readily agreed. He felt that it was fate that the two looked alike, and it would be good to be brothers.
Seeing that they got along well, Butler Fu felt that this matter should be reported to the old man, so he said it to them.
"I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."
