Pulling back his thoughts, Fu Qi slowly walked inside.
With his mind preoccupied, he often didn’t hear what Mother Fu said, and he would always make mistakes when asked to fetch something.
Mother Fu couldn’t take it anymore and waved him away. “Go find your sister, just seeing you here is annoying.”
Mother Fu began her nagging again. Father Fu quietly followed beside her, listening and occasionally chiming in.
Mother Fu never lacked an audience for her words.
Fu Qi rolled down his sleeves and arrived at Fu Yuling’s room, beginning to knock on the door.
Fu Yuling was alone inside and didn’t know who said “please come in”.
Fu Qi was distracted and quietly sat in a chair inside the room, looking at the scene outside.
There wasn’t much to see. The window faced the mountains behind, showing only greenery and yellow soil.
Fu Yuling had looked at him countless times, but this man didn’t notice at all, not even moving.
“Ah.”
When Fu Qi sighed for the hundredth time, Fu Yuling could no neither watch nor listen to it any longer.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Fu Qi raised his head and turned it. “Nothing, I just feel like…”
He abruptly stopped and became alert.
“You didn’t hear anything, did you?”
“? What could I hear?” This person had just walked in and started sighing. He didn’t say a word, so how could she know anything.
“It’s better that you don’t know.”
Fu Qi sighed again. He suddenly felt that Xiao Rui wasn’t so bad after all. If he had known, he wouldn’t have scolded him and would have just taken him back.
After all, Fu Yuling’s favorite type was that clean-cut and handsome look. With a new love, wouldn’t an old flame be forgotten?
Thinking of this, he gave his head a pat again.
His series of movements left Fu Yuling puzzled. Sighing and hitting himself…
“If there’s something you want to say, just say it. You can’t keep torturing yourself.”
Fu Yuling’s gaze was complicated, and her tone had an unusual stiffness, as if looking at a patient.
Fu Qi didn’t realize he had become a patient in her eyes. Looking up at the face that resembled his own, he thought it was pretty good! How could she be blind and like that silly He Jingsi?
The two siblings looked at each other, completely unaware of how they had each privately slandered the other in their minds.
Fu Qi was still someone who couldn’t hide his feelings. He moved to the farthest corner from Fu Yuling, his hand resting on the door, then weakly asked, “Can I tell you something? Promise not to get angry?”
“…” Fu Yuling was silent for a moment. “What shameful thing did you do?”
Fu Qi thought for a moment and shook his head.
“Did you go robbing or…”
Before Fu Yuling could finish her guess, Fu Qi anxiously interrupted.
“Ah! No, it’s nothing like that! He Jingsi is back!”
The air seemed to freeze at that moment. Fu Qi gripped the door, already preparing to escape in the next second.
He had too much experience. In the past, as soon as he mentioned He Jingsi’s name, she would get extremely agitated and lose all rationality.
He waited at the door for what felt like an eternity, but there was no sound from inside. Sneaking a glance at Fu Yuling, he found she had already laid down and was covered with a quilt…
“If you’re going out, close the door.”
Her tone was calm, showing no signs of the fury he was expecting.
Fu Qi analyzed the situation.
Something’s not right! How could this be happening? Wasn’t she supposed to come rushing over to grab him and ask like a madwoman where He Jingsi was?
He cautiously took a step farther inside, walking carefully.
