Chapter 206 Discovering Chenchen's Dog-like Thoughts! Being Interrogated!
Shen Yingshuang glanced at Lu Lian'er standing behind her, and after thinking for a moment, decided to call Xia Mian.
The phone rang, but no one answered.
After a moment's hesitation, Shen Yingshuang sent Xia Mian a WeChat message: "Mianmian, have you had dinner yet? Why aren't you answering your mother's calls? Are you busy?"
She waited for several minutes but didn't receive a reply from Xia Mian.
What happened?
What is this girl doing?
Shen Yingshuang was a little anxious.
However, she would never show it in front of Lu Lian'er, lest Lu Lian'er laugh at her.
"Lian'er, you must be tired after a long day of classes. Go back to your room and rest for a while."
"Godmother, I'm still worried about my sister..." Lu Lian'er didn't want to leave.
She looked at Shen Yingshuang with reddened eyes, hesitant to speak.
Shen Yingshuang looked at her quietly for a moment, then waved her hand, signaling her to leave.
Lu Lian'er bit her lower lip and had no choice but to go out.
As soon as the door closed, her expression changed immediately. "Old lady! Stop pretending!"
Is she a dog? She can be summoned and dismissed at will.
Does she really think she's some kind of lady from the Xia family?
One day, she will kick this old lady out too, so that the mother and daughter will end up on the streets like Xia Mian, that stray dog!
...
At the hospital, Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi brought some nutritional supplements and fruit to visit Fu Yanchen.
What they didn't expect was that Old Madam Fu was actually in the hospital!
She already knew?!
After exchanging a glance, Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi entered the ward.
The boy lay on the hospital bed, looking obedient and well-behaved, covered with a thin white blanket, except that his injured leg was wrapped in snow-white gauze and he couldn't move.
When Fu Yanchen saw Xia Mian, his eyes lit up instantly, and he stared at her longingly.
It looks like a little puppy longing for its owner's affection.
"Mianmian, Mianmian, eat... fruit."
He can now express a complete sentence, but he speaks it somewhat haltingly and not very fluently.
But it has made great progress compared to before.
"What would you like to eat?" Xia Mian picked up a bunch of bright green, translucent, and plump Sunshine Roses. "Would you like some? I'll peel them for you."
Fu Yanchen was surprised to receive such good treatment and nodded quickly, "I want to eat, I want to eat!"
Xia Mian smiled slightly and began to peel the Sunshine Rose.
Her fingers were slender, and she peeled a whole plate of fruit in no time. She placed the plate in front of Fu Yanchen and asked, "Try it and see if it's sweet?"
Zhao Baoqi pouted and snorted, "Bestie, you're being unfair. You didn't peel any for me. I also want to eat the Sunshine Roses that you peeled yourself."
“Yan Chen is injured, and you’re all perfectly fine, peel them yourself.” Xia Mian didn’t indulge her, pushed her away, and started peeling another plate of Sunshine Roses.
After peeling it, Zhao Baoqi thought it was for her and was about to reach out to take it when she said, "Best friend, I know you love me..."
As a result, the plate of Shine Muscat roses bypassed her and was delivered to Old Madam Fu. "Grandma, have a taste, I just peeled them."
"Ugh! I'm angry!" Zhao Baoqi huffed and turned away from Xia Mian.
Madam Fu poked her forehead, "You still have the nerve to be angry? Look how filial Mianmian is, she even knows to peel a grape for me, and what about you? All you do is make a fuss! Hurry up and peel one yourself!"
"Fine, I'll peel it myself..." Zhao Baoqi said, feeling frustrated.
Looking at the plate of Sunshine Roses in front of him, Fu Yanchen stammered shyly, "Thank you, thank you..."
The boy picked up a fork with his long fingers, speared a greenish-blue Sunshine Rose fruit, and put it in his mouth; it was sweet.
His eyes sparkled, and he took a new small fruit fork, forked a fruit for Xia Mian, and said, "Mian, Mian, you can have some too."
Xia Mian took the fork and took a bite. "It's really sweet."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Fu Yanchen's eyes. He had clearly brought the food to Xia Mian's lips, but she didn't swallow it directly. Instead, she snatched the fork and ate it herself!
He couldn't suppress the sour feeling welling up inside him. If it were his older brother, she would definitely have let him feed her...
Undeterred, he forked another one, his voice weak and pitiful, "Mian, Mian, have some more."
Xia Mian's heart skipped a beat when she saw the hint of longing in Fu Yanchen's eyes!
His...his eyes...
Xia Mian instinctively wanted to dodge, her smile tinged with awkwardness. Taking the fruit fork, she said instinctively, "Yan Chen, you eat it, you don't need to let me eat anymore."
She touched her bag, trying to find her phone to distract herself.
But then they discovered that their phone wasn't in their bag; it seemed they had left it in the car.
After spending a little more time at the hospital, Xia Mian and Zhao Baoqi left.
On the way home, Xia Mian couldn't help but ask, "Baoqi, do I feel like Yan Chen is looking at me a little strangely?"
Is she being overly sensitive?
"What's so strange?" Zhao Baoqi glanced at her suspiciously out of the corner of his eye. "Isn't that the way he always looks at people? Even though he and Yan Hao are twins, his eyes are actually rounder."
"Aren't you overthinking it?"
Zhao Baoqi has a very easygoing personality and is not a sensitive person.
Xia Mian felt a little relieved. Was she just being overly sensitive and paranoid?
Yan Chen probably doesn't have any other complicated ideas, right?
Besides, the Fu family all know that she is Fu Yanshen's girlfriend.
He wouldn't possibly have any feelings for her, would he?
With that thought, Xia Mian felt relieved.
"Baoqi, Baoqi, what are we having for dinner tonight? Should we eat at home or go to the food street?"
"Definitely the food street! I swear I'll try every single food stall on the food street behind the school!" Zhao Baoqi said, turning the steering wheel around.
Xia Mian clicked her tongue and found her phone, which she had left in the car. As soon as she turned it on, she saw that her mother, Shen Yingshuang, had not only called her several times but also sent her WeChat messages.
She immediately dialed the number, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Mianmian, where are you?" Shen Yingshuang waited anxiously at home for Xia Mian's reply.
Seeing her daughter call, her anxious heart finally calmed down a little.
“Baoqi and I are going to eat together! Mom, have you eaten yet?” Xia Mian was completely unaware of her mother’s concern for her.
Then she heard her mother ask her again, "Mianmian, didn't you go to school today?"
"Mom, how did you know?" Xia Mian was taken aback, and immediately realized that Lu Lian'er must have said something. "Mom, Baoqi and I had something to do today, so we didn't go to school. It wasn't on purpose that we didn't go."
"What is it?" Shen Yingshuang pressed.
"It's nothing serious... a thief broke into Baoqi's house last night, and they called the police. Everything's fine now." Xia Mian didn't want to tell her mother about the serial killer; if she explained it too clearly, her mother would definitely worry excessively.
Seeing that Zhao Baoqi had already turned the corner and was about to reach the food street, Xia Mian quickly said, "Mom, Baoqi and I have arrived. I need to help Baoqi see where to park. I have to go with you now!"
If her mother continued to interrogate her, she would be unable to cope.
