Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Will Mr. Shen like him a little bit...
"Mr. Shen, if... one day you find that we shouldn't be like this, what... will you do?" Fu Xu asked in a low voice.
Chen Louchen took a deep breath and hugged Fu Xu tighter: "Why shouldn't I?"
Although he didn't remember how this omega came about, given his personality, he wouldn't leave such an omega behind for no reason. As for the deeper reasons, he didn't want to delve into them. As long as this omega didn't threaten his plans, his current life wasn't too bad.
"I'm so sleepy." Fu Xu said.
"Go to sleep."
Fu Xu slowly closed his eyes and felt relaxed for the first time. He just hoped that days like this would go slower and slower.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
Fu Xu had changed a lot. He was no longer like he used to be, always hiding in a corner. In the mornings, when Chen Louchen went to the study to handle some work, he would bring over some warm milk and gently place it on the corner of the desk. When he saw the man looking up, he would blush and lower his head, twisting his fingers around the corner of his clothes and whispering, "Mr. Chen, remember to drink it."
Chen Louchen would always stop writing, and when he took the cup, his fingertips would brush against the back of his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
In the evening, Fu Xu would sit on the living room carpet, reading in the warm yellow light. When Chen Louchen came back from outside, he would take off his coat and hand it to Butler Chen. His eyes would always fall on him first. Sometimes Fu Xu was so engrossed in reading that he didn't notice anyone approaching until a hand with only a thin callous on it landed on his head and gently ruffled his hair. Only then would he look up in surprise, meeting the man's deep eyes. Then, his ears would turn red and he would call out in a stammer, "Mr. Chen."
"What are you looking at?" Chen Louchen sat down beside him, stretched out his long arms to pull him into his arms, rested his chin on the top of his head, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.
Fu Xu marked two questions for Chen Louchen to see: "There are still some that I haven't learned yet."
Chen Louchen hummed, put his arm around Fu Xu and helped him write down his ideas for the topic.
Fu Xu began to dare to take the initiative to do some small things. For example, when Chen Louchen came home late, he would warm the soup in the pot in advance; when he saw that the cuffs of Chen Louchen's shirt were loose, he would muster up the courage to tiptoe and button it for him.
He really likes Mr. Shen like this.
Chen Louchen did not refuse, but just lowered his eyes and looked at him, his gaze like obsidian immersed in water.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before school started.
The early morning sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains, casting mottled shadows on the floor. When Fu Xu woke up, the seat next to him was empty. With some residual body temperature, he sat up, rubbed his eyes, and was about to get out of bed when the bedroom door was pushed open.
Chen Louchen walked in with breakfast in his hand, his white shirt sleeves rolled up to his forearms, revealing his sleek wrists. "Awake?" He placed the tray on the bedside table, which contained a bowl of porridge and two boiled eggs. "Butler Chen made this."
Fu Xu threw back the quilt and got out of bed. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Chen Louchen grabbed his shoulders and pushed him back onto the bed: "Sit down and eat."
He had no choice but to sit down obediently, watching Chen Louchen pick up the spoon, scoop a spoonful of porridge and pass it to his mouth. The warm porridge slid into his throat, and Fu Xu ate it in small mouthfuls. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked up and asked, "Mr. Chen, tomorrow..."
Before he could finish his words, the doorbell rang.
Butler Chen went to open the door, and soon a familiar voice came from downstairs, with a smile: "Is Fu Xu here? I came to deliver something."
It’s Gu Wangyan.
Fu Xu's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to get out of bed, he was held down by Chen Louchen. "Sit still." Chen Louchen put down the spoon and wiped the corner of his mouth for him. "I'll go take a look."
He stood up and walked out of the bedroom. In the living room, Gu Wangyan was carrying an exquisite gift box. Seeing Chen Louchen coming out, he smiled and raised the box in his hand: "I heard that our Xiao Xu is in good condition recently, so I came here specially to give her a back-to-school gift."
Chen Louchen stepped aside to let him in, his tone calm: "He's in the bedroom."
Just as Gu Wangyan was about to walk in, the doorbell rang again. This time it was Lin Yunzhou who came in. He was holding a folder in his hand and was in a hurry. When he saw Gu Wangyan, the expression on his face instantly turned cold, as if he had swallowed a piece of ice.
"Isn't this Doctor Gu?" Lin Yunzhou took off his glasses and wiped them, his tone almost overflowing with sarcasm. "What are you doing here?"
The smile on Gu Wangyan's face faded a little. His chest heaved a few times before he turned and walked towards Fu Xu's bedroom. Without looking back, he just said in a cold voice: "The wedding will be held as usual."
"I won't go. You can find any alpha, but that person definitely won't be me." Lin Yunzhou watched his back until he disappeared around the corner, then snorted coldly and turned to Shen Louchen and said, "Last time, I arranged a consultation with a friend abroad to check Fu Xu's various indicators. The results are just out, and I have to tell you in person."
—
In the bedroom, Fu Xu was sitting by the bed. Seeing Gu Wangyan come in, he quickly threw back the quilt and got out of bed: "Doctor Gu."
"Slow down." Gu Wangyan put the gift box on the bedside table and looked at him with a look of relief in his eyes. "You look much better. It seems that Ah Chen treats you well."
Fu Xu blushed and shook his head, curling the corner of his clothes with his fingers: "Mr. Shen is very good to me."
Gu Wangyan raised his eyebrows, said nothing more, opened the gift box and took out the things inside.
A beautifully packaged pen.
"School starts tomorrow, so you'll need it." He handed it over. "I prepared it for you a long time ago. I'll give it to you when you're better. Think of it as a reward for your recovery."
Fu Xu took the pen and ran his fingertips over the pattern on it. It felt very valuable. He couldn't help but feel a little warm in his eyes: "Thank you, Doctor Gu, but... I can't accept such a valuable gift."
"Why are you being so polite to me?" Gu Wangyan patted his shoulder and noticed the worry in his eyes when he lowered his head. "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
Fu Xu lowered his head and whispered, "I...I'm wondering if I can still go to school tomorrow."
His voice became smaller and smaller, with a hint of uncertainty: "Mr. Shen promised me before, but... he hasn't mentioned it recently. Could it be... could it be that he has forgotten it?"
Gu Wangyan felt that it was normal for Fu Xu to worry about this, especially since Fu Xu was so sensitive and had a lot of thoughts in his mind. He was just about to say a few words of comfort when he heard Chen Louchen's voice coming from the living room. He seemed to be answering the phone, and his tone sounded a little hurried.
Not long after, Chen Louchen pushed the door open and came in, followed by Lin Yunzhou. "Something urgent needs to be done," Chen Louchen said, frowning slightly as he looked at Fu Xu, as if he was a little worried.
Fu Xu quickly said, "Mr. Shen, please go and do your work. I'm fine."
Chen Louchen hummed, turned around and walked out, Lin Yunzhou followed closely behind him, and when he passed by Gu Wangyan, he couldn't help but glare at him again.
As the two were about to leave the living room, the worry in Fu Xu's heart fell quietly like dust blown by the wind. He held the pen, and his fingertips turned slightly white. Maybe... Mr. Shen really forgot.
At this moment, Chen Louchen, who had walked to the door, suddenly stopped.
He turned around and looked towards Fu Xu's room. Lin Yunzhou urged him, "What's wrong? He's waiting over there."
Chen Louchen ignored him, stretched out his long legs, and rushed back to the bedroom in a few steps.
Before Fu Xu could react, the man grabbed the back of his neck, and his warm breath hit his face. Chen Louchen lowered his head and kissed him on the lips.
"Wait for me to come back." He let go of her hand, his fingertips brushed across her lips that were slightly red from being kissed, with a hint of smile in his eyes, he turned around and strode away.
The whole process happened as fast as a gust of wind. Fu Xu froze in place, his mind blank. The man's warmth still remained on his lips, burning his heart.
He suddenly looked up and saw Gu Wangyan standing beside him, looking at him with a smile, the mockery in his eyes could not be hidden.
"Cough... cough cough..." Fu Xu's face turned red in an instant, like a cooked shrimp. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into. He lowered his head hurriedly, twisting the bed sheets with his fingers, and the tips of his ears were so red that blood seemed to be dripping out.
"It seems," Gu Wangyan said slowly, with a hint of teasing in his tone, "that your relationship is more than just good."
Fu Xu buried his head even lower, but his cheeks felt very hot. The sour feeling in his heart caused by worrying about going to school was completely washed away by the sudden kiss just now.
Maybe...Mr. Shen hasn't forgotten.
Gu Wangyan looked at the light in his eyes that could not be hidden, smiled and shook his head. He walked to the window and watched Chen Louchen's car drive out of the gate. Lin Yunzhou was sitting in the passenger seat, and seemed to be still talking to Chen Louchen, with a bad look on his face.
"Don't worry about school." Gu Wangyan turned around and said in a more serious tone, "Since Chen Louchen didn't object, it means he remembered. Even if he forgot, with the way he treats you now, he will definitely agree if you ask him."
Fu Xu bit her lip and nodded. The uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable anticipation, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Tomorrow, I can go to school.
This thought was like a piece of candy, slowly melting on the tip of his tongue, making it so sweet that even his breath tasted a little sweet.
Gu Wangyan chatted with him for a while, mostly about school matters, and told him that he could always come to him if he encountered any trouble. Fu Xu listened very carefully, nodding occasionally.
After chatting for a few more words, Gu Wangyan looked at his watch and patted Fu Xu's shoulder: "Prepare your things for tomorrow. I'm leaving first."
"I'll take you there."
After seeing Gu Wangyan off, the huge house became quiet again. Fu Xu returned to his bedroom and began to pack the things he would take tomorrow. Gu Wangyan had helped him find the textbooks before, and he put them carefully into his schoolbag.
The setting sun shone through the window onto the desk, making the stationery glow with a soft luster. Fu Xu looked at the things he had packed, and suddenly remembered Chen Louchen's hasty and gentle kiss just now, and his cheeks began to feel hot again.
He raised his hand and touched his lips, and there was still a hint of warmth on his fingertips.
Mr. Shen…why did he suddenly come back and kiss him?
Doctor Gu was clearly still beside him.
This question kept turning around in his mind. Fu Xu shook his head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts, but they just wouldn't go away.
Maybe, Mr. Shen really...likes him a little?
As soon as this thought came to mind, Fu Xu suppressed it. He couldn't think like that. Mr. Shen just forgot something, or maybe he remembered him wrongly. Now it was like a dream, and dreams always have to end one day. He couldn't be greedy anymore.
But the little expectation in his heart grew quietly like a vine, entwining his heart and wrapping him tightly.
Fu Xu walked to the window, looked at the sun gradually setting outside, silently counting the time in his heart, waiting for Chen Louchen to come back.
I don’t know how long it was before I heard the sound of a car engine downstairs. Fu Xu’s eyes lit up and he quickly ran to the stairs to look down.
