Nosebleed
In the Yanghuzhu, Xu Yangyang stood up and said, "We haven't been together for a long time. Let me toast to everyone."
Lin Luo's eyes flickered, and the image of the six of them sitting together moved her. She thought it would be even better if Tong Yun was there too, but unfortunately she didn't reply to the message.
Fu Xingchuan first clinked glasses with Lin Luo, and then the six people's glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, as if they were back to that summer at the seaside.
After dinner, they sat together and chatted. Zhu Changyu asked Xu Yangyang, "I heard that Qi Yao was hospitalized. Was it because you beat him?"
"He fell down by himself, what does it have to do with me?" Xu Yangyang teased Xuehua and touched the head of Zhu Sui'an who was squatting on the ground feeding meat.
Lin Luo was plotting something with Ruan Ye. Fu Xingchuan noticed and walked over to listen to what they were talking about.
But as soon as he came over, they immediately fell silent.
Ruan Ye raised his eyelids to look at him and said coldly, "Can you go away?"
Fu Xingchuan's face was gloomy. "Why?"
The corners of his eyes were raised, as if he had nothing to say. As expected, "Ruan Ye, don't forget that you have to call me brother. I've never heard you call me that. Now, call me and let me hear you."
Ruan Ye gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, can you please go away?"
"No, why?" Fu Xingchuan said lazily.
"We are discussing academic issues, and you don't understand." Lin Luo glared at him.
"Then I want to listen to it too." He acted like a child.
"No." Lin Luo frowned.
Fu Xingchuan glanced at her quietly and prepared to leave.
Seeing that he was about to go to Xuehua, Lin Luo took his hand and pointed to a table farther away behind him, "Sit there."
"Why?" he insisted.
Lin Qiao stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Be good, and I'll reward you tonight."
"Really?" Fu Xingchuan's eyes lit up immediately, "You keep your word."
"Of course it counts." Lin Luo said seriously, pushing Fu Xingchuan to sit on the stool.
She returned to her original position and continued talking to Ruan Ye. Fu Xingchuan propped up his chin and watched the two of them. "Do you have so much to talk about?" He asked, "They're talking and laughing, and they haven't told him yet. It's very suspicious."
Could this be a sign of rekindled feelings?
The wind blowing in from outside was quite cool. Fu Xingchuan walked out and breathed some fresh air at the door of the store.
It is already mid-December and the winter solstice is approaching. He doesn't know when it started, but winter is no longer his favorite season. He often feels that it is long and difficult to endure. However, this winter is better than previous years. The weather warms up quickly and is much warmer.
Zhu Changyu told a joke, which made Xu Yangyang and Zhu Sui'an laugh. Fu Xingchuan turned around and saw Lin Luo's smiling face, her eyes curved into two crescents, just like the first time he saw her smile.
The laughter inside stopped, and he turned his gaze back to the outside. Another gust of wind blew, and the cold air rolled up the small particles on the ground, forming a circle. Fu Xingchuan stared at it intently.
It was getting late, and Yanghuzhu was about to close. Zhu Changyu and Xu Yangyang walked side by side home with their dog. Ruan Ye went to drive, and Fu Xingchuan wanted to call Uncle Li to pick him up, but Lin Luo stopped him.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Lin Qiao said excitedly, "I drove a new car here."
"Is the new car a Porsche or a Rolls-Royce?" Zhu Sui'an was curious. He heard Fu Xingchuan say that Lin Luo was strong-willed and financially independent and had never used a penny from Fu Xingchuan and her father.
Fu Xingchuan had never heard that she bought a new car. When did it happen?
Lin Luo chuckled and walked away mysteriously, leaving behind a sentence, "Wait, I'll drive over and you'll know."
Fu Xingchuan and Zhu Sui'an were left standing at the door. He leaned over to block most of the wind for her and asked, "Are you cold?"
"good."
"Why are you laughing so foolishly?" He saw a smile on her face.
"It's been a while since we've been together. I'm glad." Zhu Sui'an's eyes flickered. "Back when I was abroad, I was so scared that I'd die on the operating table and not be able to reunite with you."
Fu Xingchuan's breathing stagnated. He glanced at her shoelaces and saw that they were loose. He squatted down to help her tie them and said softly, "I'm always with you. How are you feeling recently? If you've been wronged, tell me. If Ruan Ye bullies you, I'll help you beat him up."
What are you talking about? Zhu Sui'an kicked him and said, "Fu Xingchuan, I will definitely live a long life, even longer than you. After all, I don't want your name to be engraved on my tombstone and say that I am your brother."
"Okay!" He stood up, looked at her, and said to himself, you must live longer than me and live in peace every year.
He flicked her forehead lightly and said seriously, "You keep thinking about all sorts of nonsense all day long. Can you spend your time taking care of Ruan Ye?"
"Ruan Ye has been very well behaved recently! You'd better stop thinking about it all the time. Being sensitive, suspicious, and possessive will only make people dislike you." Zhu Sui'an knew Fu Xingchuan best and was good at seeing through people's minds, so he could guess what they were thinking.
"Beep beep--" At the same time as Ruan Ye's car arrived, Lin Luo also arrived. Fu Xingchuan saw that she was wearing a helmet, riding a small electric scooter, and her mouth was grinning.
The wind was blowing loudly. Zhu Sui'an tightened her scarf and said to Fu Xingchuan, "What a remarkable woman! It seems I might actually live longer. Take care!"
After they left, Lin Qi looked at Fu Xingchuan and asked him, "Mr. Fu, would you be willing to do me the honor of sitting in my back seat?"
"Okay." He agreed without hesitation.
Lin Xiao put on his helmet and buttoned up his coat, "Don't catch a cold."
"You too." He tapped his helmet.
"Um."
Lin Qi twisted her hand to start the electric scooter. As it started, the wind blew rapidly, and Lin Qi was delighted. Fu Xingchuan heard her voice mixed with the wind, "I've always wanted to try riding an electric scooter in winter. It feels great, not cold at all, so cool."
She has always been like this, free and unrestrained, full of vitality, like a butterfly swimming against the wind and waves.
Fu Xingchuan put his arm around her waist and shouted, "Indeed, the winter I love is back."
The wind blew into the room. Fu Xingchuan closed the window and held the cold medicine that Lin Qiao had just made in his hand.
Lin Qiao came out of the shower and found Fu Xingchuan sitting in the study, looking at his computer intently. She noticed he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Was he nearsighted? She had never seen him wear them before.
Fu Xingchuan glanced over, and Lin Qi was stunned for a few seconds. She was stunned by his handsomeness. A man wearing a shirt and vest and working hard is indeed the most handsome. He has a strong sense of abstinence and a bit of a gentlemanly feeling.
"Is there something wrong?" Fu Xingchuan asked her.
"No." Lin Luo felt inexplicably thirsty and went to the kitchen to get some water. Ruan Ye sent him a message saying that he was preparing birthday surprises for Fu Xingchuan and Zhu Sui'an. Lin Luo replied to him seriously.
She didn't know when Fu Xingchuan walked behind her. It was so quiet, like a ghost. Lin Luo immediately turned off her phone.
"What are you feeling guilty about?" he asked calmly.
Lin Luo smiled and said, "Nothing, what's the matter?"
Fu Xingchuan brought the computer over and asked her a professional question about medical immunosuppression, and she patiently answered him.
At the end, Fu Xingchuan suddenly said, "Lin Qiao, you're gone."
The nightgown she was wearing was just something she picked up from the closet. It had a V-neck and the collar was a little too wide. When Lin Xiao lowered her head, she realized it was indeed the case. She quickly covered it with her hands and asked, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?"
"It's not like I haven't seen it before." He raised an eyebrow.
Lin Luo chuckled, "Then why are you reminding me now?"
"Because I'm a gentleman, I keep my public and private lives separate, and I'm not a pervert."
"Haha." She couldn't help laughing.
The phone screen flickered on and off, and Fu Xingchuan's eyes were dark. Lin Luo saw him take off his glasses and leaned forward, "Didn't you say you would reward me?"
"I've already given you the reward. Didn't I just take you for a ride?"
"I'm greedy!" Fu Xingchuan picked her up.
Lin Luo loosened her hand from her chest and hugged his neck, "I'm a little tired."
"You don't have to move."
…
Lin Luo caught a cold because of Fu Xingchuan's torment.
In the research institute, Lin Luo made herself a packet of medicine, the bitter smell lingering in the air. She looked at the pile of words in the document on the computer with a tired expression.
Fu Xingchuan sent a message, "Guest, please rate my service last night."
Lin Xiao: [One star.]
Fu Xingchuan: [How are you? I asked you to take some time off.]
Lin Xiao: [I'm going to collapse at my post.]
Fu Xingchuan: [I will feel bad.]
Lin Xiao: [Why weren’t you heartbroken last night?]
Fu Xingchuan: [Who told you to bite people? I couldn't control myself.]
"Xiaoxiao, why is your face so red?"
She looked up suddenly and turned off her phone. "Maybe I have a cold."
It can’t be because I remember the scene from yesterday!
"No wonder you're wearing a mask. Why don't you ask for leave if you're sick? I want to be sick too. I recently got a boyfriend who's a doctor, and I really want him to take care of me!"
"It's almost the end of the year, and everyone's busy taking off. You'd better be careful and don't catch a cold."
"Yeah." She nodded obediently.
It has been very busy recently. There has been a breakthrough in a project of Jinghe Research Institute, which is related to their research topic. They finally found a path in the fog.
Working overtime every day to do experiments and record data eventually caused Wu Yun to catch a cold, and Lin Luo also collapsed at his work.
She fainted from a fever and when she woke up she was at home, with Fu Xingchuan sitting by her bed on a conference call.
After he hung up the phone, Lin Qi started to speak, "How long have I slept?"
"You're awake." Fu Xingchuan stood up. "It's been less than three hours. I just asked the family doctor to see you. He said you're overly tired and need to get some rest."
Lin Luo realized that she was not wearing a mask and covered her mouth, "Stay away from me, I don't want to infect you with the cold."
"I have good resistance."
"I see." Lin Luo didn't move. "But you still need to be careful. It's uncomfortable to be sick."
Fu Xingchuan took her hand away and took her temperature. "Don't worry, the doctor just said your cold is not contagious."
"oh."
Aunt Wang brought in a bowl of porridge, and Fu Xingchuan took it and said, "You should get off work early today!"
"OK."
She walked out. Lin Luo looked at Fu Xingchuan. He fed her porridge and said, "Eat slowly. Be careful of the heat."
"oh."
"Aren't you busy today?"
"I'm busy, but not as important as my wife." He blew on the cold porridge. "Remember this. You have to feed me like this when I catch a cold next time."
Lin Xiao swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "So, you really do have a good immune system. I don't think I've ever seen you catch a cold."
"I used to catch a cold when the weather changed in the past few years, but even my headaches have eased a lot in the past few months since I came back." He wiped the corner of Lin Luo's mouth, "It's different now that I have a wife."
Lin Luo frowned, and Fu Xingchuan asked her what was wrong?
"I feel a little nauseous. Did you find time to attend some cram school?"
“… Sui’an taught me.”
"I knew it."
“But it’s also the truth.”
Lin Luo leaned back, wearing only a loose sweater. The sweater had slipped down, revealing half of her shoulder. She had a fever, and her face was red and charming.
She didn't pay attention. When she looked up, she saw blood coming out of Fu Xingchuan's nose. "Ah! You're bleeding."
Lin Qi hurriedly handed him a piece of paper, and he hurried to stop her. Even at this point, he was still saying sweet things, "Madam is too beautiful, I can't handle it."
She picked up her phone and said, "I have to call Sui'an and tell her to stop teaching you nonsense. It will be counterproductive."
Aunt Wang knocked on the door. Lin Luo looked up and asked, "Sir, do you want to make more supplements today?"
"What supplements?" Lin Luo asked first.
Aunt Wang answered honestly, "The recipe given by the master..."
Recipe
Fu Xingchuan replied to her, "No need, you can go home now!"
"Okay!"
After Aunt Wang left, Lin Xiao stared at Fu Xingchuan, "What is the recipe? Tell me the truth."
"It fell out of your pocket and I picked it up."
"Do you know what that filler is?" Lin Qi asked. Seeing his eyes evade for a moment, he must have known. "No wonder this time..."
"No wonder what?"
"No wonder you have a nosebleed, you deserve it."
