Chapter 104 Springtime Feelings Haven't Yet Arrived at the Full Bloom...
Fu Yun's gaze fell on Su Mang: "Has your injury healed?"
Su Mang's smile deepened: "She's out of danger."
She looked Fu Jun up and down, and saw that his complexion was rosier than before he left, and his spirits were quite good. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he had not suffered any fatigue during his trip.
"Young master, you've been away for so long this time? Did something happen to you?"
Fu Jun said casually, "I did run into a little trouble, but it's nothing, it's all over now."
Worried that Su Mang would press him for answers, he simply changed the subject: "How is Su Zi's injury?"
Su Mang felt a warmth in her heart: "Thank you for your concern, young master. Su Zi's injuries have almost healed. She originally wanted to come to the shop to help out today, but I told her to rest for a couple of days before deciding. Since you're back, young master, you can arrange things for her to do!"
Fu Yun nodded, looked up into the store, and didn't see Lu Zhisheng. Just as she was about to ask Su Mang where Lu Zhisheng had gone, Cheng Jincheng's cheerful voice rang out from inside the store: "Boss, what are you doing standing outside? Come in and we'll talk!"
Fu Yun looked up and saw that Cheng Jincheng had finished speaking and then continued with his work.
He was extremely busy, but his movements were orderly. When handing the packaged tea to the customer, he smiled and said, "Here is your tea, please take it."
As the guest took it, he added enthusiastically, "If you like it, you're welcome to come again."
"No problem," the guest replied readily.
When faced with a warm and welcoming smile, people usually feel relaxed and happy. Guests almost always respond politely and then leave satisfied.
Fu Jun secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart: "As expected of a professional in the service industry, his smile and friendliness are as natural as can be."
Fu Yun glanced back but didn't see Zhang and Fang, who had probably hidden themselves.
He stopped paying attention to their whereabouts and stepped into Qingming Pavilion. Some customers who were originally watching outside immediately followed him into the store.
All eyes fell on Fu Yun, their admiration undisguised.
They turned to their companions and whispered, "Don't you think the young master of the Su family is even more handsome than before?"
"Indeed, her complexion looks much better. She no longer looks weak and sickly, and she looks more radiant."
"As expected of the most handsome man in Lingzhou City, every smile and frown is charming, and every gesture exudes the demeanor of a refined gentleman, radiating boundless charm."
"I think there is probably no man in this world who can rival his unparalleled beauty."
"Who says otherwise! I wonder which noble family could marry such a handsome husband. It's truly enviable."
"You can only be envious. Otherwise, do you want to keep dreaming? Let me tell you, people from small families like ours shouldn't be delusional. Even if we had the chance to marry her, we couldn't afford to support her."
"What nonsense are you talking about! I have that much self-awareness. Sigh... never mind, let's just look at each other. People can't be compared, and they shouldn't be compared."
Fu Yun: "..." Don't talk nonsense, there are no beautiful husbands here, only eight-foot-tall men.
[President Fu, Su Fuyun is less than 175cm tall, where did this 'eight feet' claim come from?]
Fu Yun: "!" I don't need your reminder, thank you.
To be precise, because he was neglected and lacked food and clothing from a young age, he suffered from malnutrition and his development was somewhat slow; he barely grew to 173 cm.
Fu Yun: "..." Barely grown up? Is this some kind of personal attack?
Oh, by the way, the Empress should be two centimeters taller than him.
Fu Yun: "You can shut up now." Don't I have any dignity?
Although this is Su Fuyun's height, it is now the person using this body, and Su Fuyun and the person using this body are now one entity.
Haha, don't be discouraged. Men can still grow taller before the age of 23 as long as they have a proper diet and exercise.
Fu Yun: "..." Do you even need to tell me that?
Cheng Jincheng naturally heard these words, and his eyes were full of mocking smiles, showing a hint of schadenfreude.
Fu Yun ignored Xiao Ba and went straight to the counter to process the tea drinks ordered by customers with Cheng Jincheng.
He scooped up the tea and poured it into a lotus leaf cup, filled it to the brim, and handed it to Cheng Jincheng, indicating that he should continue with the subsequent packaging process.
The two drank one cup after another, going back and forth, their coordination was excellent.
Su Mang smiled and glanced at the two of them before walking to the cashier to serve customers.
With Fu Yun joining, the number of customers increased significantly, and the number of orders more than doubled.
Cheng Jincheng glanced at the entrance and saw customers constantly pouring into the store. Business was clearly even more booming than a few days ago, and his eyes were full of smiles.
"Boss, where have you been having fun for the past ten days? The store has been spinning like a top, and you, the leader, are nowhere to be found."
Fu Yun glanced at the crowd, her expression calm: "I'll explain in detail after the shop closes."
Cheng Jincheng nodded, guessing that this matter was not convenient to discuss in front of outsiders.
"Okay, let's talk about it after we finish work."
The topic was dropped, and Fu Yun glanced at the storage room inside: "Where's Lu Zhisheng? I haven't seen him."
As Cheng Jincheng handed the customer a tea drink, he casually replied, "I'm off delivering milk tea."
Fu Yun: "?"
I don't think the delivery service has officially started yet, right?
"For whom?"
"Commander Ye, she said you personally gave the order."
Fu Yun: "..." So fast? They can't even wait for him to come back and explain to Lu Zhisheng?
As expected of the Imperial Guards, they were incredibly efficient, moving with lightning speed and wasting no time at all.
The three of them were busy for most of the day, with customers coming and going. When things calmed down a bit, Lu Zhisheng slowly walked into the store.
Upon seeing the familiar figure moving behind the counter, his eyes instantly brightened, and he strode towards the counter: "Young Master Su, you're back?"
Fu Yun glanced at Lu Zhisheng and noticed a slight blush still lingering on his cheeks. For some reason, she felt a little like teasing him: "Well, you've been back for most of the day. Did Commander Ye say anything when you went to deliver the tea?"
He was somewhat curious whether anything interesting had happened between Ye Lan and Lu Zhisheng.
Lu Zhisheng's cheeks flushed instantly. He lowered his head, pretending to tidy up the lotus leaf cups, and mumbled a reply, "N-nothing..."
Fu Yun then asked, "Then why did it take you so long to come back?"
Lu Zhisheng's head was almost drooping to his chest, and he could barely hold the lotus leaf cup in his hand. He stammered, "I've been busy... with... a little... other things."
"Oh?" Fu Jun didn't expect Lu Zhisheng to be so shy, to the point of lying out of embarrassment. This was not like him at all.
"By the way, when did you start serving tea to Commander Ye?"
Fu Jun smiled slightly: "Commander Ye is right. She is too busy with official duties to come to the store to taste the food, so I agreed to her request."
He paused, then changed the subject: "Of course, if you're too busy or don't really want to go, I'll have Su Mang or Su Zi deliver it."
"No!" Lu Zhisheng blurted out almost immediately, "I can do it."
Fu Yun and Cheng Jincheng exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their eyebrows, their unspoken understanding unspoken.
The next moment, Lu Zhisheng seemed to realize that his answer was too hasty, and quickly tried to cover it up: "I felt that Su Zi and Su Mang had only recently recovered from their injuries and should not be overworked, therefore..."
“I understand.” Fu Yun’s eyes sparkled with a smile. “You don’t need to feel embarrassed.”
Cheng Jincheng glanced out the window with feigned nonchalance: "Huh, it's autumn now! It's not even the season for everything to come back to life yet, so why is someone already feeling the stirrings of spring?"
Lu Zhisheng's face instantly turned bright red, the redness spreading from her cheeks all the way down to her neck, as if she were about to burst into flames.
Fu Yun immediately felt a little sorry for him and spoke up to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, he's shy, let's stop teasing him, we need to know when to stop."
Seeing Lu Zhisheng's flushed cheeks, Cheng Jincheng realized that his joke had gone too far.
I momentarily forgot that this is a matriarchal society, or even an ancient society where women are superior to men.
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, I was just joking with you. I absolutely didn't mean to make fun of you. Please don't take it to heart."
Lu Zhisheng nervously waved his hands, "No, I know you mean no harm."
Cheng Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "It's normal for people our age to have someone they like. You don't need to feel embarrassed."
Before Lu Zhisheng could respond, he added, "How about this? If I ever like someone in the future, I'll share them with you first. Is that fair?"
Lu Zhisheng suddenly looked up, his eyes wide with shock: "You..."
Cheng Jincheng waved his hand and said generously, "We're friends now, right? Isn't it normal for friends to confide in each other and share secrets?"
Lu Zhisheng was stunned for a long time before his gaze shifted to Fu Jun, clearly wanting to get an answer from him.
Fu Jun smiled and said, "I think he's right. If you're willing, we can chat like good friends, talking about everything under the sun, from ancient times to the present."
“Yes!” Lu Zhisheng nodded emphatically, his eyes shining. “I understand. We are friends, the kind of close friends who can share secrets.”
Cheng Jincheng clapped his hands: "That's right. Externally, the boss is our leader; internally, the boss is our brother."
He patted Lu Zhisheng on the shoulder: "I'm sticking with you for life, boss. What about you?"
Lu Zhisheng hesitated slightly, looked at Fu Jun, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "May I ask for a similar treatment?"
Fu Jun chuckled: "Of course, as long as you don't mind, we'll be best brothers for life."
Lu Zhisheng hurriedly replied, "I would be honored if you didn't mind. It would be my greatest fortune to be able to be your brother."
Fu Yun: "That's fine then. From now on, the three of us don't need to be polite. Just say what you need to say and do what you need to do."
Lu Zhisheng exclaimed excitedly, "Yes!"
After saying this, all three felt that the distance between their hearts had narrowed considerably.
The day was spent in a flurry of activity until the shop closed for the day.
Lu Zhisheng went home by herself, while Fu Yun went home with Su Mang and Cheng Jincheng.
On their way home, Fu Yun and Cheng Jincheng discussed their upcoming plans.
