Chapter 63: If you owe someone a favor, remember to pay it back!
He tried to persuade her patiently, but she just shook her head and said childishly, "I won't eat it."
As he said this, he was about to fall onto the bed.
Fu Sinian grabbed her and after hesitating for a moment, he put the pill in his mouth, leaned over and held Gu Xiangsi's lips, mixed it with warm water, and passed the medicine to her little by little.
When the pill mixed with warm water slid into her throat, Gu Xiangsi suddenly came back to her senses. She subconsciously turned her head to avoid it, but Fu Sinian held her neck and she couldn't avoid it.
She raised her hand and pushed the man's chest, but she had no strength, and her voice was hoarse from burning: "Fu Sinian, you..."
It slid down her throat, she coughed twice, and her almond-shaped eyes, misty with tears, glared at Fu Sinian in reproach.
"Well, I have a fever, and I am getting bolder. Why don't you just call me by my name?"
For a moment, Fu Sinian even felt that Gu Xiangsi's temper was even more stubborn than his.
Gu Xiangsi tilted her head, half-raised her eyes, and stared at Fu Sinian's angular face without blinking.
There was still a look of shock in his eyes from when he had just been fed the medicine. He was like a frightened little animal and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Fu Sinian reached out and gently poked her forehead with his index finger. She gasped and seemed to come back to her senses, and her eyelashes trembled violently.
"I'm really stupid."
Fu Sinian whispered, helped her lie down, and tucked the corner of the quilt carefully.
Gu Xiangsi lay there, her eyes wide open, looking at Fu Sinian with pure and innocent eyes, her voice as soft as cotton: "Don't go."
She was sick, her cheeks were abnormally flushed, but in Fu Sinian's eyes, her whole body exuded an extraordinary softness, like a furry, pitiful kitten waiting to be comforted.
Without her usual hostile look towards him, he would rather her eyes would always be surprisingly bright when she was bickering with him lively.
He reached out and rubbed her head gently a few times, and just as he was about to pull his hand back, she grabbed it.
Fu Sinian was startled and raised his eyebrows. "Gu Xiangsi, you're not mistaking me for someone else again, are you?"
"Fu Sinian, you're so mean." She pursed her lips, her tone a little aggrieved. "I was the one who took care of you when you had a fever last time, but this time you're leaving me behind."
Fu Sinian's eyes deepened a little, and he felt a little overwhelmed.
Could it be that his brain is really burned out? He thought carefully about her words and was suddenly stunned.
She was talking about something that happened in college.
His gaze fell on the corner of her eyes, and he saw her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her eyes were a little empty, as if she was still immersed in distant memories and had not come back to her senses.
Sick people tend to be more pretentious, he thought.
The tone also slowed down a bit.
"I'm not leaving."
Gu Xiangsi fell into a deep sleep. In a trance, she felt herself wrapped in a warm and soft blanket, with something warm covering her belly. She felt so comfortable that she unconsciously leaned towards the heat source.
She saw her father and mother, the three of them sitting around the table, laughing and talking, it was a long-lost warmth.
When he woke up, Gu Xiangsi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. It turned out to be just a dream.
She turned her head to look at the bedside table. The screen of her cell phone was on. It was a message from Nan Yu and Qin Shiwei.
She opened the group chat of three people and sent a voice message: "Sorry, I overslept."
Soon, Nan Yu replied, and Qin Shiwei also agreed, saying that they were about to return to their hometown, and they should make an appointment to meet and visit grandma together.
Gu Xiangsi typed back a "OK".
Gu Xiangsi looked up at the time. It was half past eight.
The room was empty and Fu Sinian was no longer there.
There was a set of clothes placed next to the sofa at the end of the bed. From underwear to outerwear, the sizes were just right. It was obvious that they were prepared according to her size.
Her ears felt slightly hot, and she knew who did it without even thinking.
Her eyes moved to the end of the bed, and she saw a sanitary napkin package sticking out of the bag next to it. It was the brand she usually used.
My heart felt like it was gently bumped by something, and it trembled with weakness.
Fu Sinian was so meticulous that he even remembered all these.
Looking at these at this moment, the love that had been suppressed in my heart quietly emerged again.
She felt both relieved and a little flustered.
After changing her clothes, Gu Xiangsi put on her shoes. They were obviously men's shoes. She curled her toes and felt that the shoes were too big.
She moved her foot and it didn't hurt as much.
When I pushed the door open and went out, I saw Fu Sinian standing on the balcony of the living room, talking on the phone. His voice was low and there was a hint of seriousness in his tone, as if he was accusing something.
Gu Xiangsi didn't dare to say anything and just stood at the door in a daze.
It was not until Fu Sinian hung up the phone and turned around that he saw her.
Wearing the light green sweatshirt he had prepared and his big slippers, he stood there in a daze.
His gaze paused on her feet for a moment, then quickly moved away and said, "Come and eat when you wake up."
Gu Xiangsi herself was shocked. She had been here three times.
He lowered his head and sipped the millet porridge one spoonful at a time.
Fu Sinian glanced at her and suddenly chuckled, his tone a little nonchalant.
"You've become a regular here. How about I charge a fee?"
Gu Xiangsi paused holding the spoon, looked up at him, a hint of surprise in her eyes.
As expected, the businessman's profit-oriented thoughts just emerged, but the words changed their tone when they came to his mouth: "Then how much does Mr. Fu plan to charge?"
Fu Sinian crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed, as if he was really thinking seriously.
"The monthly salary of the servants here is not low." He said slowly, "The ingredients of this millet porridge are carefully selected. My mother and brother don't even have this kind of treatment."
After a pause, he looked up at Gu Xiangsi and changed the subject.
"If you owe someone a favor, remember to pay it back."
Gu Xiangsi felt that there was no point in chatting today. He was indeed a profiteer.
At this moment, the servant's voice came from the stairs downstairs: "Master, the master is having breakfast."
"Well, I'll go up and find him." Fu Jia's voice sounded.
When Gu Xiangsi heard the voice, his face changed suddenly. He hurriedly supported himself on the chair and stood up. He was so flustered that he couldn't even keep his slippers on.
He thought of something and went back, reaching out to hide the millet porridge on the table.
Fu Sinian stretched out his hand very naturally and placed the bowl of porridge in front of him.
"If you don't hide, my brother will come up."
He looked at her, who looked like she had seen a ghost, and his eyes darkened.
She and her elder brother did hide something back then, and this was also the reason why he asked Li Xiaoyao to investigate several times but still had no clue. Perhaps her elder brother was deliberately hiding it from him.
It seems that I have to change the direction of investigation.
This was the first time in all these years that he felt frustrated. It was obvious that many things were deliberately kept from him.
Gu Xiangsi slipped on her slippers and hid in the bedroom.
At this time, the clear sound of leather shoes stepping up came from the stairs.
Fu Sinian lowered his head and slowly scooped up a spoonful of millet porridge and drank it.
Fu Jia had already walked over, pulled out the stool next to him and sat down, his eyes fixed on the food he was eating with an inquiring tone.
"Didn't you say this is too sweet and not tasty?"
Fu Sinian glanced at him, then his eyes returned to the bowl: "Now I think it's just right, just the right sweetness."
Fu Jia stopped dwelling on the porridge and changed the subject: "I heard that you brought a girl home yesterday?"
Fu Sinian raised his eyes, his gaze suddenly becoming colder.
"You have planted someone in my manor?"
