Fu's mother angrily pushed open the bedroom door, making a loud "bang" sound, breaking the original silence in the room.
She saw Fu Chen lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly sleeping soundly, but his face was extremely pale and bloodless, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"Ah Chen! Ah Chen!"
Fu's mother rushed to the bedside and shook Fu Chen's body vigorously, trying to wake him up.
Fu Chen was awakened by the sudden noise. He opened his eyes suddenly, his eyes filled with confusion and anger.
He struggled to support his body, feeling a splitting headache, as if ten thousand needles were piercing his brain.
"Mom? Why are you here?"
Fu Chen's voice was hoarse and weak, filled with fatigue and impatience.
"I finally fell asleep, why did you wake me up!"
Fu Chen's tone was filled with anger. He just wanted to have a good sleep and didn't want to care about anything.
Fu's mother was shocked by her son's abnormal attitude. She had never seen Fu Chen like this before, and a strong sense of unease suddenly surged in her heart.
"Ah Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mother Fu's voice was filled with worry and anxiety. She reached out her hand to touch Fu Chen's forehead, but he pushed her hand away.
"I'm fine, leave me alone!"
Fu Chen said irritably that he just wanted to be alone and quiet now.
"What on earth did you do to him?!"
Mother Fu turned around, glared at Xu Zhiru who was standing beside her, and asked harshly.
She suspected that Xu Zhiru had done something to Fu Chen, causing him to become like this.
Xu Zhiru was startled by Fu's mother's sudden questioning. Her eyes turned red instantly and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like she had suffered a great injustice.
"Aunt, what do you mean? What can I do to Ah Chen? I'm just taking care of him."
Xu Zhiru said with a sob, her voice full of grievance and innocence.
"Ah Chen has been in poor health and mental state recently. I have been taking good care of him. How could I possibly harm him?"
As Xu Zhiru spoke, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. Her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.
"Mom, stop being unreasonable. Zhiru has been taking care of me. She didn't do anything to me."
Fu Chen said with a frown, his voice full of impatience.
He now had a terrible headache and had no energy to deal with his mother's unreasonable behavior.
Mother Fu was even more furious when she saw her son defending Xu Zhiru.
How could she accept that the son she had raised with so much effort was now talking to her like this for an outsider?
"Ah Chen, have you been drugged by this woman? How could you speak to me like that?"
Mother Fu's voice was filled with disappointment and heartache, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
"Mom, I said I'm fine, can you please stop making a fuss?"
Fu Chen's tone became more impatient, and his headache became more and more severe, as if it was about to explode.
"Ah Chen, is your headache coming back? I'll get you some medicine."
Seeing this, Xu Zhiru hurriedly took out a small medicine bottle from the drawer of the bedside table, poured out a pill, and brought a glass of water and handed it to Fu Chen.
"Take the medicine quickly, and the pain will go away."
Xu Zhiru said gently, her voice full of concern.
When Mrs. Fu saw the pills in Xu Zhiru's hand, alarm bells went off in her heart.
She always felt that there was something wrong with the pill, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Wait! You can't take this medicine!"
Mother Fu reached out to stop Fu Chen from taking the medicine, but Fu Chen pushed her hand away.
"Mom, what on earth do you want to do? This is medicine prescribed by the doctor, why can't I take it?"
Fu Chen said harshly, his eyes filled with anger.
All he wanted now was to take his medicine quickly to relieve his headache, and he didn't want to listen to his mother nagging at all.
"Ah Chen, don't listen to her. There's something wrong with this medicine. You can't take it!"
Mother Fu said anxiously, her voice full of anxiety.
“That’s enough!”
Fu Chen roared, stuffed the pill into his mouth, and swallowed it with water.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Fu Chen's voice was icy cold, like a sharp knife, stabbing Fu's mother's heart.
When Xu Zhiru saw Fu Chen take the medicine, a barely perceptible sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She walked over to Fu Chen and gently massaged his temples to relieve his headache.
"Ah Chen, don't be angry. Auntie is also worried about you. Don't blame her."
Xu Zhiru spoke gently, her voice soft and soothing, as if there was a magical power that made Fu Chen gradually calm down.
Fu Chen closed his eyes and enjoyed Xu Zhiru's massage. His headache seemed to be relieved a little.
Mother Fu felt mixed emotions when she saw how intimate the two were.
"Zhiru, I'm tired and want to rest. Please let Mom go back."
Fu Chen's voice was full of fatigue. He just wanted to have a good sleep now.
"Mom, you go back first. I have Zhiru to take care of me here, so don't worry about it."
Fu Chen said, his tone was calm, but it contained a hint of unquestionable meaning.
Mother Fu looked at her son's indifferent face and pursed her lips.
Staying any longer would only lead to boredom, so he sighed helplessly and left the room.
Xu Zhiru saw Fu's mother to the door, always keeping a decent and gentle smile on her face.
