Chapter 69

Fu Huaifei placed his hands on both sides of Sangyan's waist, while Sangyan, with his head lowered, pressed his lips against Fu Huaifei's.

Everything happened so suddenly that the two remained in this position for three or four seconds before reacting.

Sangyan instantly jumped away, and Fu Huaifei froze in place.

Sangyan was also terrified, stammering out, "Sir..."

Fu Huaifei said nothing, covering his mouth and quickly heading toward his room.

As he passed through the living room, Old Lady Fu, who had seen everything, remarked, "Oh, finally given away your first kiss?"

At her words, Fu Huaifei shuddered and rushed upstairs, face covered.

Soon after, the flustered Sangyan entered, staring at Fu Huaifei's retreating back, wanting to say something but unable to. His expression seemed as if the sky had fallen.

The old lady comforted him, "It hasn't fallen yet. Go pick some flowers from the backyard for him; let him mourn a bit, a funeral for his lost innocence. Men, they all go through this step."

Sangyan turned red from embarrassment, lowering his head and returning to his room.

Sang Qing was about to go upstairs when Old Lady Fu called him.

"It was gravity that brought them together. Instead of scolding Xiao Sang, you might as well find some scientists to study how to eliminate this gravitational pull."

As Shen Tingzhou entered, he heard the old lady's "fair and just" remark.

Hearing the door open, Old Lady Fu exclaimed happily, "It's the character 'dai' that has a hook, look, it's reeled Doctor Shen back home."

Shen Tingzhou: ... Indeed, she has the same sharp tongue as the Steward.

Sang Qing didn't go upstairs to lecture Sangyan about his rashness; instead, he went into the kitchen to brew tea for them.

Old Lady Fu beckoned Shen Tingzhou over, "Come in, don't stand by the door. Let Xiao Dai be the guardian deity alone."

Shen Tingzhou wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed, walking over to sit beside the old lady.

Xu Xun, whose name had been ridiculed, sat next to Shen Tingzhou.

The old lady was very pleased, "Old people can't withstand too much mischief. Unlike Doctor Shen, who is protected by white robes, I'm not immune to evil spirits."

Glancing at Xu Xun's sullen face, her favoritism for Doctor Shen immediately kicked in.

"The name 'Xun' may sound a bit off at first, but it actually signifies someone willing to sacrifice their life for an ideal or loved ones, like family or friends. I think this is a noble sentiment. I believe Xiao Xu must hold his family, especially you, in high regard."

Old Lady Fu took Shen Tingzhou's hand, "Doctor Shen is so considerate, feeding me dog food right here."

Shen Tingzhou: ...

After that, Old Lady Fu didn't tease Xu Xun's name anymore.

Xu Xun secretly reached over and tickled Shen Tingzhou's palm, expressing his happiness at being defended.

Shen Tingzhou smiled, knowing he couldn't give Xu Xun too much response in front of the observant and sharp-tongued old lady.

During dinner, Fu Huaifei and Xiao Sang, the Steward, did not come down.

Not knowing what had happened, Old Mr. Fu frowned, "Unbecoming! He won't eat, but he shouldn't stop Xiao Sang from eating."

Old Lady Fu made a surprising remark, "Don't worry about it. They'll come down once their lips have stopped swelling."

Shen Tingzhou: ... Is it really okay to talk like that?

Sangyan, trying to overcome his embarrassment, came out of his room upon hearing the old lady's words, his pupils trembling.

He forgot all about his professional responsibilities and quickly returned to his room, covering himself up.

Did they swell?

Did Sir's lips swell because of his kiss!

Old Mr. Fu didn't quite understand, "What swelling?"

No one explained further to Old Mr. Fu, who, though puzzled, didn't ask again.

Until Shen Tingzhou and Xu Xun left, neither Fu Huaifei nor Sangyan appeared.

On the way back, Shen Tingzhou couldn't help but say, "I thought they were together, but it turns out it was accidental."

Recalling Fu Huaifei and Sangyan's reactions, Shen Tingzhou imagined himself in their situation, "Though it might be awkward, it should be fine in a few days."

Xu Xun, looking ahead at the road, said, "My uncle cares a lot about these things. He started imagining himself as a prince in a castle or a forest elf since he was young. He believes his kisses have magic and refuses to kiss anyone lightly, including my grandmother."

Imagining Fu Huaifei as a prince, Shen Tingzhou found it surprisingly fitting.

"Mr. Fu does seem like a prince," Shen Tingzhou smiled. "But now that he's grown up, he probably doesn't think that way anymore, right?"

Given Fu Huaifei's flamboyant personality, he probably still does.

But Xu Xun didn't want to continue discussing it and asked, "When are your parents coming back?"

Shen Tingzhou had just video-chatted with them a few days ago but hadn't talked much, "I don't know if they're coming back this year. They didn't mention it, and I forgot to ask. But they did come back last year, so they probably won't this year. Why do you ask?"

Xu Xun shook his head, "Nothing, just curious."

Shen Tingzhou glanced at him, having a hunch.

After a moment of silence, Shen Tingzhou said, "Next time they call, you can ask them yourself."

Xu Xun's lips curved slightly. "Okay."

Back at home, Shen Tingzhou politely let Xu Xun take the first shower.

During those vacation days, the snow scenery hadn't left much of an impression on Shen Tingzhou, but he had a very deep impression of the oversized bathtub, so much so that he didn’t want to share a bath with Xu Xun now.

Xu Xun didn’t say anything and went to the bathroom alone.

Shen Tingzhou breathed a sigh of relief and, having nothing else to do, browsed through the Hua family forum as usual, starting with Yu Jurong’s latest film.

The latest film was called "Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon."

The title was poetic, and the content was a rare historical setting, but it had nothing to do with wind, flowers, snow, or moon.

It told the story of a puppet emperor who was propped up by a powerful minister, acting arrogantly in the court during the day and being pressed onto the bed and crying at night.

Above "Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon" was "Stone."

A spoiled young man offended the jade mine owner at a gambling stone event and was taught a lesson in bed by the mine owner.

Whether it was the spoiled young man or the puppet emperor, they were all portrayed as vicious dogs, begging for mercy and shedding tears.

But no matter if they were enjoying themselves or begging for mercy, as soon as they saw an opportunity, they would fiercely resist without hesitation.

Whether it was the powerful minister or the mine owner, they were always suppressing them.

Shen Tingzhou felt this was somewhat like his relationship with Zhou Zitan. Could it be that Yu Jurong had been entangled with Zhou Zitan because he wanted to conquer Xiao Zhou?

Zhou Zitan’s personality indeed made someone like Yu Jurong have the desire to conquer him.

Precisely because of this, it became even more troublesome. Either one of them had to give up, or one had to submit; otherwise, they would continue to struggle like this.

Hearing the bathroom door open, Shen Tingzhou put down the tablet.

As the door opened and he saw Xu Xun walking out, Shen Tingzhou was taken aback.

Xu Xun was wearing a fluffy pajama set and a fluffy hat, with two fluffy ears sticking out from the sides of his head.

Shen Tingzhou swallowed hard. "How..."

Xu Xun walked over. "I thought you might like it."

Shen Tingzhou coughed lightly. "Not really."

As soon as he said that, Xu Xun lowered his head and rubbed against him, a soft and fluffy sensation.

So cute!

Shen Tingzhou was so charmed that he almost bled from his nose. He tilted his neck, allowing Xu Xun to rub comfortably and boldly.

Xu Xun’s white ears wiggling were just too adorable!!!

When Shen Tingzhou’s clothes were stripped off, he suddenly came to his senses.

Xu Xun rubbed against him again with his ears, and Shen Tingzhou’s eyes started to sparkle with hearts.

Kitty Xiao Xu is so cute!

Xu Xun kissed Shen Tingzhou’s lips, occasionally rubbing his face with his ears, making Shen Tingzhou lose himself in the fluffiness.
