Chapter 14: Pinching her ear, an air of ambiguity lingers.
Zhao Baoqi's fingers, which were holding the earring, trembled, and the sharp earring needle pierced the soft flesh next to Xia Mian's ear piercing. Bright red blood seeped out, a shocking sight.
"Don't touch me, don't touch me! I'm so sorry, it's all my fault! My hand was shaking, I made your ear bleed!"
Zhao Baoqi apologized repeatedly and quickly called out to Fu Yanhao, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and give me a tissue!"
Fu Yanhao did not hesitate and immediately took out a tissue and handed it over.
Zhao Baoqi hurriedly prepared to press the tissue to Xia Mian's ear.
A long, strong hand holding a cotton swab suddenly landed on Xia Mian's fair earlobe.
A faint smell of iodine lingered in the air.
Xia Mian looked up and met Fu Yan's deep, cold eyes. The man was holding a bottle of iodine in one hand and pressing a cotton swab with the other.
His tall figure sat down next to her, and the soft sofa instantly sank in.
Xia Mian's body stiffened, her mind went blank, and her nostrils were filled with the scent of iodine mixed with the man's cool fragrance.
My heart was pounding wildly, as if it were about to jump out of my throat.
Her earlobe, which he was pressing, inexplicably began to burn, making her feel almost completely disoriented.
Her long eyelashes trembled, eventually drooping down like raven feathers to cover her eyelids and the panic in her eyes.
Fu Yanshen stared intently at her delicate face, her rosy, full lips like fresh lychees, exuding a sweet and delicious aroma.
His gaze gradually became extremely aggressive and oppressive.
It was like a whirlpool, trying to suck her in.
The entire living room was filled with a tense atmosphere, especially when he saw the bright red bloodstains soaking the cotton swab, a bloodthirsty look appeared in his eyes, and his Adam's apple bobbed as he looked up.
He suppressed the urge to lick the drops of blood into his stomach, as dark and damp thoughts swept over his mind and body.
He struggled to look away, and with his large hand, he took a new cotton swab and pressed it against the skin.
His fingertips brushed against Xia Mian's cheek unintentionally, and the soft, smooth touch made his body tense up suddenly.
Xia Mian lowered her head, her eyes as panicked as a fawn's, only daring to look at her own hands.
She felt as if her cheek was on fire when he touched her; the rough texture of his fingertips made her feel itchy and uncomfortably hot.
She trembled slightly, trying to back away, feeling as if the air around her was on fire, and she was about to suffocate.
Suddenly, Zhao Baoqi's howling voice was heard, "Big brother! That... I didn't mean to."
Zhao Bao was fearless, except for his elder brother Fu Yanshen.
Especially when she and her twin brothers were being naughty, her older brother had a lot of ways to discipline them.
Practicing horse stance under the blazing sun and running with weights are both easy tasks.
Looking at her older brother's face, which was as cold as ice, she felt a chill run down her spine.
So she readily admitted her mistake, almost sliding to her knees at Fu Yanshen's feet, "Big brother, I didn't know you would suddenly come back, and you startled me with your sudden words!"
"I promise, I will definitely be best friends with Xia Mian from now on, and treat Xia Mian like my own sister. As long as I have food to eat, I will never let Xia Mian go hungry!"
"Big brother..."
She didn't know why she had unconsciously made so many promises to her older brother.
It's as if you have to pay a deposit to your older brother, Fu Yanshen, to be friends with Xia Mian.
That's really strange!
She finished making her promise in one breath, but when she looked up, she saw Fu Yan's deep and dark eyes looking at Xia Mian.
However, Zhao Baoqi has always been oblivious to things.
Seeing that her older brother was ignoring her, she looked at Fu Yanhao with resentment, "Yanhao, my older brother has a new younger sister, so he's ignoring me."
Fu Yanhao blew on his bangs. "Big brother has always ignored you. Don't you think it's too late for you to be resentful now?"
That hurts, bro!
Zhao Baoqi vowed that he would eat three bowls of rice at noon!
She absolutely has to be both thin and tall! She'll definitely grow taller again!
Then smash Fu Yanhao's head in.
Fu Yanshen removed the cotton swab and, seeing that Xia Mian's ear had stopped bleeding, applied iodine solution to it again.
As he stared at the cotton swab, an uncontrollable thought surged into his mind.
Xia Mian's tone carried a hint of inexplicable embarrassment as she said, "Thank you."
Fu Yanshen's eyes held a deep meaning she couldn't understand, and he spoke very slowly, "Don't be so stupid as to let others manipulate you next time."
Xia Mian's face became even more embarrassed. She wasn't someone who was being manipulated; she just... didn't quite know how to respond to the kindness others showed her.
He must hate her... otherwise why would he say such awful things?
It sounded like he was lecturing her.
When she was in the Xia family, her three older brothers disliked, hated, and verbally abused her. Her grandmother would often poke her forehead and scold her, calling her a "money-losing good," a girl who would eventually get married and become a burden!
Her mother, who had always doted on her, was now lying in a coma in a sanatorium.
She grew up with Lu Lian'er, the nanny's daughter, and they went to elementary school, middle school, and high school together... Her classmates and friends were always taken away by Lu Lian'er, and she never understood whether there was something wrong with her judgment of people.
She used to get along very well with her, but later she inexplicably became Lu Lian'er's friend, and she became the one who was abandoned and isolated.
No one ever treated her well, and she didn't have any close friends.
So when the enthusiastic and spoiled Zhao Baoqi suddenly rushed over like a ball of fire, she was at a loss and didn't know how to react.
"Brother, I didn't manipulate my best friend. How could I bear to manipulate her!" Zhao Baoqi felt extremely wronged!
She has to appeal!
Chief Fu sat on the sofa, lifted his eyelids, and looked at his younger brother and sister, "You two, run three laps with weights on."
"No! Big brother!" Zhao Baoqi was almost crying. "I'm wearing high heels!"
Fu Yanhao grinned, revealing eight teeth, and said to her, "It's okay, I'll have the housekeeper get you your running shoes."
Xia Mian stared in astonishment, "Running with weights?"
She swallowed hard and couldn't help but say, "Miss Zhao is a girl, and the sun is so strong outside..."
Isn't that a bit cruel?
She didn't dare say it aloud.
However, to everyone's surprise, as soon as she finished speaking...
A glint of light flickered in Fu Yanshen's eyes. She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes covering her eyelids, casting two shallow, curved shadows. She dared not look at him!
It seems that ever since he came back, she hasn't dared to look him in the eye; she's been too shy.
Realizing this possibility, a hint of pleasure appeared in the man's eyes, and he parted his thin lips slightly, "Then we won't have to run with weights."
He glanced sharply at his sister Zhao Baoqi and said, "You'd better not go back on your word."
Zhao Baoqi was stunned, staring at her stern and calm older brother. Was he really going to let her go like that?
That easy?
It is well known that due to his work and position, the eldest brother Fu Yanshen embodies the principle of "military orders are like mountains" to the fullest extent.
The orders he gave were never changed.
This is the first time!
