Loan eating melon
"Are you my enemy?"
Hearing Fu Shutao's question, Chu Wenyi was slightly stunned, his breathing suddenly became rapid, and he blurted out anxiously: "If you are not an enemy, my blade will not be pointed at you, you..." He seemed to react suddenly and stopped talking in time.
But the amount of information in his words was enough to make Fu Shutao gasp inwardly: [Ah? The blade won't be pointed at me? They said it so bluntly, it seems like they might really be a couple. How to test this? How about...I should start with a normal relationship? It would be so awkward if they weren't a couple! ! 】
She asked tentatively: "Are we good friends?"
Chu Wenyi was silent for a moment, then spoke with difficulty: "Yes."
Fu Shutao: “…”
Why do you say that? ? ?
Isn't this telling me clearly that you are saying one thing and thinking another?
She howled in her heart: [Ahhh, what should I do? So there is really something fishy going on between us! ! But I don’t remember anything at all! ! 】
Fu Shutao has no memory of Chu Wenyi in her mind. To her, a close relationship between lovers is not as good as that between good friends.
So, Tao Tao pretended not to notice Chu Wenyi's abnormality, accepted his explanation calmly, and asked curiously: "Why don't I remember you?"
"I'll remember it one day." Chu Wenyi's voice was full of confidence, and he gently reminded: "Don't force yourself to think about it. Let everything take its course. That's the best arrangement. Do you understand?"
"Oh!" Fu Shutao agreed cooperatively, but was thinking in his heart: [Letting things take their course is the best arrangement? Who arranged it? 】
ah? ?
When Fu Shiyuan heard Taotao's inner voice, he felt goosebumps all over his body.
When he first heard the words "let it be", he didn't think much about it. He just thought it was a comforting remark said by Chu Wenyi. Now that Taotao pointed it out, his level of horror instantly increased.
Fu Shiyuan took a deep breath and just wanted to continue listening to Taotao's next question, but she said "goodbye" and hung up the phone. He hurriedly asked, "Why did you hang up so suddenly? Can't you ask a few more questions?"
Fu Shutao blinked and said firmly: "He won't say anything to me anymore."
"Why? He has answered all the questions you just asked him." Fu Wuxi opened his round eyes wide and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"That's just taking advantage of his unpreparedness!" A sly smile flashed in Fu Shutao's eyes.
Fu Wuxi seemed to understand, and asked curiously: "Oh, Taotao, how dare you call Chu Wenyi directly to verify it? What if he is a bad person and deliberately lied to mislead you?"
Fu Shutao burst out laughing, "Xixi, you are so cute~"
[A simple little white rabbit, hehehe!] 】
She stretched out her claws and rubbed Fu Wuxi's face, then explained to her with a smile: "When Chu Wenyi receives this call, no matter how he reacts, he can provide us with information!"
Fu Wuxi was stunned: "What if he doesn't speak?"
"There are three possibilities for not speaking. The first possibility is that he can't say what he wants to say, which means he is controlled by an unknown force. The second possibility is that judging from his reason, he thinks it is better for me not to tell me the truth. The worst possibility is the third possibility, he really is my enemy."
You actually have so many thoughts? ! !
Fu Wuxi was shocked. It turned out that Taotao's call was not only a test, but also a trap for Chu Wenyi.
She pursed her lips and thought dazedly - I wonder if Chu Wenyi has discovered the truth now?
certainly!
To be precise, Chu Wenyi discovered Fu Shutao's intention when he hurriedly answered her first question.
On the other end of the phone, Chu Wenyi hung up. His eyes sparkled brightly in the sun. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was filled with a smile, gentle and doting.
"Little fox."
*
The relationship with Chu Wenyi was not very important to Fu Shutao. What she cared about was another thing - why was her memory lost? Does it have something to do with knowing the plot of the book in advance?
With this question in mind, she ran to the swimming pool to find Aunt Yu.
Ever since Yu Qing discovered that the Fu family had a swimming pool, she went there to soak almost every day. Fu Yijin also specifically reminded everyone in the old house not to go to the swimming pool and disturb Aunt Yu's peace and quiet.
Therefore, the road Fu Shutao took was particularly quiet and he didn't see a single person.
As she got closer, she couldn't help laughing.
Yu Qing was seen wearing a red gauze dress, with her eyes closed, floating on her back in the water. Except for her extremely bright face that did not look like a human, everything else seemed normal.
But when I got closer, I saw that Aunt Yu's skirt was not sticking to her body wetly, but hung neatly on both sides, looking exactly like she was standing on land. Taotao knew that this was a red skirt transformed from her fish scales. It was not wet at all, so it looked no different from the one on land. But if someone didn't know, it would definitely seem weird.
She was thankful in her heart: [Fortunately, my eldest brother did not allow the family staff to come to the swimming pool, otherwise the rumor that the Fu family’s old house is haunted would have spread long ago. If we wanted to sell it at that time, we might not be able to sell it at a high price! 】
Fu Yijin, who happened to be passing by with Benben, heard these words and immediately said, "..."
There are six brothers and sisters in our family. We shouldn't be so squandering that we have to sell our ancestral home, right?
Yu Qing opened her eyes only after she noticed Fu Shutao approaching. "If I had known it was you." She sat up directly on the water, as if she were sitting on a bed, with a calm and comfortable expression.
Fu Shutao couldn't help but sigh: "Aunt Yu, you are so free!"
Yu Qing: “?”
Fu Shutao smiled and said, "Freedom is beyond the control of gravity."
Yu Qing was amused by her, so she relaxed her body and slowly floated towards the swimming pool.
Fu Shutao suddenly lowered her voice, and in a voice that only the two of them could hear, she asked in a low voice: "Aunt Yu, why don't you swim in the water in your original form?"
Yu Qing looked at her silently, sighed, and said quietly: "The water in your swimming pool is too hot. I'm afraid the fish will be cooked in it."
Fu Shutao was confused: "??? Aunt Yu, if I remember correctly, this is a swimming pool, not a hot spring."
"Compared to the cool water in the caves of Luyang Mountain, the water in your heated swimming pool is really too hot." Yu Qing couldn't help but complain: "Fish can't enjoy the happiness of rich people."
Fu Shutao's mind flashed with the image of Aunt Yu trying to go into the water in her original form, and then being scalded and bounced up - in the rippling swimming pool, a red koi arched its body and jumped out of the water, cursing angrily: "Gululu!"
She was amused by the scene she imagined, and couldn't hold it back for a moment, bursting into earth-shattering laughter: "Hahahahahahaha!!!"
Benben, who had not yet been able to get away, pricked up his ears, thinking that another wild dog was coming. He held the dog leash in his mouth and pushed Fu Yijin forward.
Crispy master, run, run, run, run!
Fu Yijin, whose hearing is worse than a dog: "..."
The dog seems to be crazy.
On the other side, Yu Qing saw Fu Shutao couldn't stop laughing, and knew that Taotao's thoughts had strayed again. She didn't stop him, and swam slowly in the water for several laps. When she heard the laughter subsided a little, she asked, "Why did you suddenly come to see me?"
Business is important! Business is important!
Fu Shutao wiped the tears from her eyes, forced herself to stop laughing, rubbed her cheeks that were sore from laughing, and then asked the serious question: "Aunt Yu, do I have any strange talismans on me?"
Yu Qing glanced at her and shook his head.
Fu Shutao breathed a sigh of relief, with a gleam of trust in her eyes, "That's right! If Aunt Yu had found anything wrong, she would have told me a long time ago."
Yu Qing smiled and patted her head, "Be good."
Fu Shutao blinked under her hand and asked with a smile: "Aunt Yu, what about my brothers and sisters? Is there anything wrong with them?"
Yu Qing still shook her head and comforted her: "You are too nervous about them, don't worry."
It seems I was overthinking!
The heavy stone that had been weighing on Fu Shutao's heart fell away.
"We are crazy enough to cross mountains and seas..."
Fu Shutao's cell phone rang. It was her favorite song recently - the theme song of "Crazy Us", sung passionately by the guest! It was Taotao’s first time to participate in a song recording, and she excitedly set this song as her cell phone ringtone.
When she picked up the phone, she heard Fu Shiyuan's ecstatic voice, "Taotao, your TV series is going to be broadcast!"
"Really?!" Fu Shutao's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that.
The drama "Crazy Sand Inn" started filming as soon as she returned to the Fu family. After such a long time, it is finally going to be online!
Fu Shutao had just finished communicating with the excited Fu Shiyuan when she received a call from Sister Ding, who was currently serving as her agent. "Boss, Crazy Sand Inn will be aired this Saturday. The crew organized a sweeping event and sent it to me. Do you want to go?"
"Sweeping the building?"
"Well, there might be a lot of people by then." Sister Ding was just asking, but she didn't expect her to agree. After all, the boss seemed to be quite a homebody and seldom went out recently. She didn't take most of the jobs that were selected for her.
Fu Shutao hesitated for a moment, asked about the time and place, and said with a smile: "Is this urgent? If not, I will answer you in a week, okay?"
"It's not urgent..." Sister Ding thought to herself, if she doesn't agree now, will she agree in a week?
Fu Shutao thinks it’s okay!
She took Aunt Yu back to have dinner and talked about the little idea that she had not finished expressing in the morning at the table.
"Let's go to the nursing home to see the old man tomorrow."
When Taotao said this, everyone looked up at her with some surprise in their eyes.
Fu Shiyuan asked curiously: "Why are you looking at him? Do you think he might have any clues?"
Fu Shutao pretended to be sympathetic and said, "He is so old and living alone in a nursing home. It's really pitiful. After all, he is our father. Let's go see him~"
Fu Sui'an was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned over and stared at Fu Shutao for a long while before asking calmly, "Taotao, how could you endure the disgust and say such words?"
Fu Shiyuan sighed, "You really are an actor, you act like a real good guy."
Seeing the two of them singing in unison, Fu Shutao couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Fu Wuxi looked at Taotao, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered in fear, "You scared me."
Fu Shiyuan, who was beside her, heard it and laughed, "Taotao is such a petty person, how could she easily forgive Fu Changgeng? You have just been deceived by Taotao so few times that you didn't react, right?"
"That's not the case." Fu Wuxi blushed, "I thought Taotao was possessed by another spirit..." He has experienced too many outrageous things recently, and his imagination is a little out of control.
"How is it possible? Taotao is so fierce..."
"Fourth brother?" Fu Shutao suddenly opened his mouth and asked word by word, "Small-minded?"
Fu Shiyuan: “!!!”
Ahhh, how come I accidentally revealed my inner thoughts? ? ?
If I mess with T Taotao, I'll really hit a brick wall! ! !
He was very flustered, his eyes were wandering, and he tried to remain calm and argued, "You heard me wrong. I said I love and hate clearly, not that you are narrow-minded." He felt that this was quite convincing, and smiled, "Taotao, you are too sensitive to the word narrow-minded!"
Fu Shutao smiled slightly and winked at Fu Shiyuan, "Fourth brother, I don't know if I'm sensitive to words, but I'm not sensitive to money."
Fu Shiyuan: “…”
You're here to steal my private money again!
It’s not easy for me to save so little! !
He quickly begged for mercy: "Taotao, you are already a wealthy woman with assets worth over 100 million, please forgive me this time!"
"Fourth brother, you know I'm narrow-minded!" Fu Shutao smiled innocently.
[Hehe, besides, who would complain about having too much money? No matter how thin a mosquito leg is, it is still meat~~]
Fu Shiyuan closed his eyes and lowered his head to transfer money to Taotao.
It hurts to see the money flowing away!
Why am I so rude?! ! !
Fu Shutao happily accepted the money.
Fu Yijin then came out to take charge of the situation. "Taotao, can you tell me more about your ideas?"
Fu Shutao was almost distracted by the fourth brother's jokes and forgot his purpose. Now that the eldest brother reminded him, he calmly asked everyone a question: "Why do you think Liu Teng has been so loyal to the old man all these years? Is his loyalty real or fake?"
This... is really hard to say.
Fu Shutao continued to ask: "Also, we still don't know who the sorcerer who helped the old man use the paper man to make a life-saving gesture is."
"But wasn't the old man driven insane by the backlash?" Fu Shuangchi asked doubtfully, "We may not be able to get anything out of him if we go see him, right?"
Fu Yijin pondered for a moment and looked at Fu Shutao, "Do you suspect Liu Teng is hiding with the old man?"
Fu Shutao nodded slightly, "I think it's very likely."
Fu Ersansiwu: "!!!"
No way? ? ?
How loyal a butler must be to continue to stay with his old employer after he becomes demented? ?
But Fu Changgeng has always trusted Liu Teng. He entrusted the child to him for care and managed a lot of the money in the account.
The more I think about it, the more something seems wrong!
Fu Shiyuan's gossip radar suddenly started beeping, and even some inappropriate speculation emerged in his mind: Fu Changgeng and Liu Teng, they can't be... a couple, right? ?
ah! Impossible, absolutely impossible!
No matter how dissolute Fu Changgeng is, he shouldn't be so disregarding of both meat and vegetables, right? ?
He has five children!
He was just thinking that his guess was outrageous. When he turned around, he saw Fu Wuxi's face full of shock and dullness. He couldn't help but poke her arm and asked in a low voice: "Do you also think there is something wrong with them?"
Fu Wuxi nodded, then shook his head, "Impossible..."
Fu Shiyuan: “…”
It seems that Xixi's guess is similar to mine.
Except for Aunt Yu, everyone else had more or less guessed the direction, and the atmosphere was tense with a hint of awkwardness.
Fu Shutao looked at the solemn expressions of his brothers and sisters and couldn't help laughing. "Why are you guys taking out loans to eat melons? Don't worry, go and see it tomorrow morning. Have a good sleep tonight!"
She yawned, her voice a little sleepy, "I hope I won't have any dreams tonight!"
Fu Yijin curled the corners of his lips slightly, "I hope you get what you want."
Fu Shuangchi took a piece of paper and wiped the tears from Fu Shutao's face. "Don't wipe it with your hands. Doesn't it hurt?"
Fu Sui'an noticed Fu Shuangchi's actions, looked at Taotao's sweet smiling face, then glanced at her wrapped hands, and said sarcastically: "Second sister, you and Taotao are really sisters."
Just as careful (xiao) as (ti) carefully (da) carefully (zuo)! !
Fu Shiyuan was also a little uncomfortable. "That's right, Taotao's face isn't that delicate, is it? It won't break if you wipe it with your hands? When I was a kid and my face was covered with tears, you, second sister, just threw me out!"
Fu Shuangchi looked at him in disbelief: "...You really have no self-awareness. There are no tears on your face. You are crying so hard that snot bubbles are coming out of your nose, okay? You dirty little brat."
Fu Shutao rarely heard them talk about their childhood, so she asked curiously, "Second sister, how old was my fourth brother at that time? Why was he still crying?"
Fu Shuangchi was about to speak when he was interrupted by Fu Shiyuan who rushed over.
"Second sister, don't say anything!" Fu Shiyuan never thought that Fu Shuangchi actually still remembered this. He rushed over in shame and anger, trying to cover Fu Shuangchi's mouth, but Taotao held his hands and he couldn't move at all.
The sleepiness in Fu Shutao's eyes fled away. She looked at Fu Shuangchi with sparkling eyes and urged, "Second sister, tell me quickly!"
Fu Shuangchi held back his laughter and slowly talked about this past event.
In the glass house, they were laughing and making noises. The female voice that was telling the embarrassing story, the male voice that was denying it from time to time in a panic, and the voices of the onlookers who were listening with relish and occasionally asking questions, mixed together and blended into the hot atmosphere of fireworks.
Everyone slept soundly that night.
*
After a dreamless night, Fu Shutao woke up early in the morning and felt refreshed all over.
When she came back from sword practice, she found that everyone was up and sitting neatly in the hall, ready to go.
Fu Shutao glanced at the alarm clock on the wall, and seeing their expectant eyes, she couldn't help but remind them, "It's only 7 o'clock now. If we go too early, the nursing home probably won't allow visitors, right?"
Everyone: “…”
Oh yes! I was so excited that I forgot!
Since they were free, they turned on the episode of "Escape the Room" that Taotao participated in and watched it on TV.
Fu Shutao: “???”
Isn’t it a bit too heavy to watch the horror movie "The Escape Room" so early in the morning?
She glanced at the TV screen that was playing the exciting preview of this episode, and happened to see the scene where she encountered the ghost.
Fu Shutao: “…”
This is really hard to review! !
She turned around and went to eat breakfast with mixed feelings.
A series of laughter came from behind.
…
Fu Shutao came out after finishing her breakfast. When she looked up, the scene where she encountered a ghost was on the TV screen again.
She was helpless. "Are you trying to desensitize me on purpose? Why am I seeing a ghost again?"
Fu Shiyuan quickly protested, "We didn't do it on purpose, you just timed it too accurately, this is God's will so that you don't have to be afraid!"
Fu Sui'an was also bored, so he teased her: "It may also imply that you will encounter ghosts when you go out today."
Fu Shutao's heart trembled. "Third brother, don't say such unlucky words so early in the morning! You crow's mouth, bah, bah, bah!!"
Schrödinger's superstition was born again in Taotao's mouth.
After forcing Fu Sui'an to say "Pah, pah, pah", Fu Shutao still felt uneasy. He rubbed Yu Qing again, muttering: "Aunt Yu, please bless me so that I don't run into a ghost today! I definitely won't run into one!..."
Yu Qing: “…”
Despite my training over the years, Taotao's courage hasn't improved at all. It's such a disappointing result!
Fu Shutao didn't understand Aunt Yu's helplessness, so she arranged for everyone to go out and head straight to the sanatorium where Fu Changgeng was.
Taotao sat in the car, watching the trees flying by on the roadside, and felt her heart beating, as if...
Something important is about to happen.
And this time, Yu Qing's good luck and Fu Sui'an's bad luck also ushered in a peak showdown!
