You are not my brother!
As a modern person, Su Yunwei naturally did not understand the structure of ancient people's houses. Fu Changan stood aside, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Weiwei!! What are you talking about?" Fu Mingyue's expression was slightly stiff. She didn't dare to turn her head to look at her brother's expression. He must have a dark face.
"Forget it. I think it's not appropriate for a girl like you to live in my brother's yard. You can just stay in the same room with me today. You can move in after the servants have cleaned up the other rooms."
Su Yunwei was about to nod in agreement when she heard a clean and clear voice coming from beside her.
"Let's stay in Chengxin Hall first!" Fu Changan said, "There is a small courtyard inside Chengxin Hall. Although it is small, it is just right for you, Doctor Su, to stay alone."
Fu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself, "Could his brother have died in the battle at Huangdu Cliff? The person standing here now is actually someone else pretending to be him. Otherwise...why would he be so gentle and considerate? I remember him as the one who even praised the most beautiful woman in the capital, and he had no sympathy for women at all!"
"You are not my brother? Tell me! Who are you? What is your purpose in pretending to be my brother?!" Fu Mingyue took a step back suddenly, pointing her finger at the man with gentle eyebrows and eyes, with a frightened expression, as if she was willing to fight for her imaginary dead brother!
Fu Changan didn't get angry either. He just helplessly reached out his hand and slapped away the arrogant finger. Then his eyes fell on Su Yunwei, as if waiting for her answer.
Be it Shuyuxuan or Chengxintang! To Su Yunwei, they were just a place to shelter from the wind and rain. She could never go back to her real home!
"Then let's stay in Chengxin Hall first. I'm a bit of a sleeper! I'm afraid it will disturb your sleep, Mingyue."
Fu Mingyue quickly waved her hands and said, "It doesn't affect me, it doesn't affect me, I..." Before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Fu Changan's cold voice.
"Alright! It's getting late, I'm going to take Doctor Su to rest first!"
After saying this, before Fu Mingyue could react, he took Su Yunwei and walked away. Fu Mingyue hurriedly followed. She walked to Fu Changan and said, "Whether you are my real brother or not, I am warning you! You can't stay on Weiwei's wall in the middle of the night."
Fu Changan paused slightly, his eyes darkening. He then bent down and leaned close to Fu Mingyue's ear, whispering softly, "When Kuang Ye comes to stay on your wall again tonight, please remember to tell him. I'll be waiting for him at Yongle Tower tomorrow at noon."
Fu Mingyue: “!!!!”
I'm going to die!
He was far away in that desolate Huangdu Year! How could he know about her and Kuang Ye's affair?
Could it be that that idiot told Brother Yunqing, and then Brother Yunqing told it to Brother?
Yes, Brother Yunqing and my brother grew up together, so their relationship must be deeper than mine.
Fu Mingyue frowned, stood still with his hands on his hips, and stared intently at Fu Changan, who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Su Yun in the distance, as if that was the Kuang Ye he mentioned. He gritted his teeth and muttered:
"Just wait for me, damn it!"
Chengxin Hall.
Fu Mingyue curiously circled around the small courtyard she had never seen before, and then said in surprise, "Brother, you were away from the capital for the past two years, and I would come here to pick peaches from the courtyard. How come I never noticed that there was another small courtyard next to yours?"
Fu Changan followed Su Yunwei and carried the medicine box straight into the room. Without even turning his head, he said, "Maybe you came here with Kuang Ye."
The name Kuang Ye appeared in Fu Mingyue's ears again, frightening her so much that she was speechless. In her heart, she was roaring madly: "She will definitely not let that traitor go!!"
Su Yunwei looked around the small room carefully. There was a round table in the middle, and a couch that could only sleep one person was placed against the wall on the left side of the table. There was a dark wooden wardrobe against the right wall, and a bed directly opposite her. Behind her was a long desk with several books on it that seemed to have never been turned.
Seeing her staring at the book on the desk, Fu Changan hurriedly said, "I dropped that book here two years ago when I was reading. I'll take it away later."
"It's okay, it's your stuff, you can put it anywhere." Su Yunwei didn't take it seriously. This was his home, why was he more reserved than himself?
After she finished looking around the room, she walked past Fu Chang'an who was standing nearby and went straight outside. Looking down, she saw Fu Mingyue squatting against the wall with her head drooping. She immediately went over and squatted down with him, "Mingyue! Can you give me a few changes of clothes? I have nothing but this medicine box."
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingyue felt a deep sense of guilt and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I forgot about this. Please wait here for a moment. I'll get you some new clothes tomorrow! I'll prepare other things for you tomorrow."
As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and ran towards the gate. Fu Changan stood by the door, his eyes fixed on the corner of the clothes that disappeared at the gate, his expression slightly stiff.
Su Yunwei saw Fu Mingyue leave, so she stood up. When she turned around, she met a pair of deep eyes. Her body froze, her expression slightly startled. She quickly looked away and said, "Do you... have anything else to say?"
It was Su Yunwei's first time being alone with a man, and she felt a little at a loss.
Her unnaturalness caught Fu Changan's eyes. Under the flickering light, he could clearly see her lightly trembling eyelashes. It was not until she asked again that he interrupted his scattered thoughts and came back to his senses: "I... I'm fine, I... I'll go ask them to prepare some hot water for you, I..." Fu Changan said helplessly: "I'll go first."
He walked in a hurry, and when he reached the gate, he tripped over his left foot and almost fell. Su Yunwei subconsciously wanted to step forward, but Fu Changan quickly turned around and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, it's okay."
As soon as Fu Changan left, Su Yunwei returned to the room alone. She sat down at the round table, her eyes fell on the medicine box, and she was lost in thought.
In this vast alien world, she and this medicine box were the only ones of her kind. This wasn't her permanent home, after all, but the world was so vast, and there wasn't a single place she could call home! Her income was gone. Although Fu Mingyue had promised her money, she was living off it. She needed to find a job, but besides being a doctor, what else could she do? She was just a small-town test-taker, a student who had spent half her life studying. Beyond that, she knew nothing else.
Suddenly, Fu Mingyue appeared at the door carrying a large bag. Su Yunwei was a little surprised and stepped forward quickly:
"Wow, you carried such a big bag by yourself?" As he said that, he reached out and pinched Fu Mingyue's arm.
Soft yet hard, hard yet soft, what a great arm!
She withdrew her hand and squeezed her arm, but it was soft and nothing else.
"I was afraid that I would get up late tomorrow, so I brought here everything I could use," Fu Mingyue opened the bag and piled all the things on the long table. In an instant, they covered up the books on the table, leaving no trace of them.
"However, you're staying at my brother's place now, so he should prepare things for you. But... he's a big, strong man, and he can't be as meticulous as us girls."
Su Yunwei looked at the dazzling array of items on the long table, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Could it be that she had moved her entire home here?
However, when it came to Fu Changan, Su Yunwei became really interested. She looked at Fu Mingyue, who was still rummaging through her bag, and asked, "What does your brother...do?"
Fu Mingyue paused holding the thing, she raised her eyes to look at Su Yunwei, a hint of cunning in her bright eyes:
"What do you think...what does my brother do?"
She gently placed the bag next to the leg of the long table, and slowly approached Su Yunwei with a smile in her eyes.
"Weiwei, take a guess?"
do what?
Su Yunwei couldn't help but recall Fu Changan's words and actions today. Apart from the astonishment she felt when they first met, there was also... his stumble just now.
She lowered her head in thought, look at the grand appearance of their family, the countless people in the mansion, and Fu Changan's actions and words are quite methodical, although the scales in her heart are more inclined towards his one-in-a-million appearance.
"Your brother... is an official, right?" Su Yunwei guessed, his eyes moving slightly.
"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" Fu Mingyue nodded quickly, and continued with a little pride, "Half of the answer is correct! What about the other half?"
Su Yun hesitated for a moment, then blurted out, "He's a civil servant, right?"
Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Fu Mingyue, expecting her to nod. Unexpectedly, she saw her expression startled, and then she asked, "Then what kind of official do you think my father is?"
Her dad? That grumpy old man!
Su Yunwei's eyes suddenly flashed with impatience, and she curled her lips and said, "Military officer!"
The woman in front of him was visibly stunned, her mouth opened into an O shape, then she threw her head back and burst into laughter, "Hahahaha", until tears came out of the corners of her eyes.
She wiped away her tears and saw Su Yunwei standing there, so she cleared her throat and said, "Weiwei, you got it wrong."
Su Yunwei was puzzled: "What do you mean by reversed? The official title is reversed?"
Fu Mingyue: "Exactly!" She pulled Su Yunwei to sit down at the round table and continued, "My grandfather was a military commander. Perhaps my father inherited his temperament. His words and actions are always misunderstood. Don't be fooled by his bad temper. He is actually a good person."
She paused, then continued with a hint of pride:
"My brother...went to the Northwest Army camp alone for training at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen he led three hundred elite soldiers to burn down the enemy's granary!"
"At that time, everyone in the capital laughed and said that my brother was the reincarnation of the Yaksha God."
"At the age of twenty-one, my brother recaptured the three continents of Yunxiang and was promoted to the fifth-rank commander of the Jade Unicorn. He returned to the capital and stayed there for two years. Later, he sent troops to Huangdu, which was... the place where my grandfather died in battle."
"My brother fought there for another two years, but... those were the most dangerous two years! He... almost died! Fortunately, he was lucky enough to have a strong life and managed to make it out of Hades!"
"Today! I just heard the news before I left. The Holy Lord appointed my brother as the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, a second-rank official!"
After hearing this, Su Yunwei sighed to herself, "Young hero! I'm talking about someone like Fu Changan!" Good looks! Tall stature! And even stronger fighting skills! He's the perfect embodiment of her ideal partner!
She immediately asked, "What about you?"
"Me??" Fu Mingyue's eyes widened, and she pointed at herself. "When my brother was making great achievements, I was still chasing butterflies in the palace!"
"Catching butterflies is pretty cool too!" Su Yunwei said sincerely under her puzzled gaze, "Catching butterflies also requires skills and methods, okay!"
Fu Mingyue stared blankly at Su Yunwei's eyes for a while.
“Puff…”
The two men finally couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing with their shoulders shrugged.
