Upon hearing this, He Sheng suddenly pinched a piece of his skin and twisted it.
Her strength was small, so Fu Hanye did not feel any pain.
Pinching him was not enough—He Sheng also wrote to educate him: I am the older sister, you must respect me!
Fu Hanye let out a low muffled laugh. “What kind of older sister are you? You’re not even related to me by blood.”
He Sheng turned her head away in anger.
This brat truly did not respect the old or care for the young at all.
When they arrived at the Fu Family residence, they happened to run into Fu Jingnian at the entrance.
Seeing He Sheng’s red lips and qipao, Fu Jingnian felt quite relieved. “It’s good to go out more often.”
He was not He Sheng’s biological father and could not protect her forever. She had to learn to step out on her own eventually.
He Sheng adjusted her coat and curved her lips slightly toward Fu Jingnian.
When her gaze shifted to Fu Hanye, Fu Jingnian’s expression turned unpleasant.
“It’s Thursday today. Why are you not at school?”
Fu Hanye played with a lighter lazily. “Didn’t the person who reports to you tell you? I haven’t needed to attend classes recently.”
Since he was starting a business, there was no time to sit in a classroom. He had to constantly be outside running around.
Fu Jingnian’s gaze turned cold. “It had better be true.”
After speaking, Fu Jingnian went into the bedroom. He Sheng changed into comfortable slippers with the help of Sister-in-law Wang and returned to her room to remove her makeup and wash up.
By the time everything was finished, two hours had passed. Sister-in-law Wang put down the hairdryer and brought in warm milk. After He Sheng finished drinking it, she could finally lie down on the soft bed to rest.
Suddenly, it began to rain outside. Raindrops pattered against the window, adding a quiet chill to the night.
He Sheng liked rainy nights like this very much—cold and desolate outside, yet warm and spring-like indoors.
She fumbled to turn on the radio by her bedside and tuned it to her favorite station.
This old-fashioned form of entertainment was something He Sheng had only recently begun to enjoy.
Before entering this book, she had been a wealthy young lady. She had only heard of radios before. After coming into this world and suffering from impaired vision, her entertainment options were limited. It was Sister-in-law Wang who mentioned it, and only then did Uncle Zhou arrange a radio for her. She listened to it in her free time to pass the time.
The female radio host spoke gently, sharing heartfelt conversations with callers.
He Sheng listened intently, half of her small face buried in a plush toy, slowly closing her eyes.
She did not notice that someone, growing impatient, had opened her door. When the man saw her sleeping peacefully, a fire ignited in his chest.
Fu Hanye cursed under his breath—no conscience—and walked straight to the bed, wrapping his long arm around her and pulling her into his embrace.
He Sheng was awakened by him and pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Did you forget something?” Fu Hanye messed up her hair. “Little mute, daring to stand me up—you want to die?”
He Sheng opened her eyes and looked at him helplessly.
—Was it really necessary? She had only fallen asleep by accident.
“Right now it’s exactly eleven o’clock at night. Dear listeners, according to the meteorological station, light rain will continue until tomorrow noon. Remember to add clothing and bring an umbrella when going out~ Next, let us listen to a song to conclude tonight’s Voice of the Heart.”
The radio host’s voice faded, and a song perfectly suited for rainy nights began to play.
Music filled the entire room, blending with the sound of rain outside and creating a tranquil atmosphere.
He Sheng leaned against Fu Hanye’s arm, quietly watching her life points increase in ten-minute intervals.
If she really slept through an entire month like this, she might be able to accumulate twenty years of lifespan.
If she could sleep for four months, it might actually be enough.
After all, her lifespan was capped at one hundred years anyway. Storing more would be useless.
He Sheng secretly glanced at Fu Hanye, who appeared to be pretending to sleep. The only question was whether this brat would be willing to cooperate.
Perhaps the sound of rain was too lulling. Both of them, each lost in their own thoughts, fell asleep at the same time.
In her dream, He Sheng felt as if something heavy was pressing on her, making it hard to breathe.
She pushed several times, but not only did it not move away, it instead grew like vines and bound her tightly.
When she woke up the next morning, she discovered that most of Fu Hanye’s body was pressing on her.
He Sheng was speechless. Fu Hanye’s sleeping posture was becoming more and more outrageous.
“Knock knock.”
The door was lightly knocked. He Sheng knew it was likely Sister-in-law Wang coming upstairs.
And she was in a hurry.
He Sheng absolutely did not want anyone to see a man lying in her bed—even if nothing had happened.
She forcefully pushed Fu Hanye a few times before finally waking him up.
“Mm?” Fu Hanye opened his eyes groggily and instinctively looked at the clock. “It’s only eight in the morning. Why are you disturbing me?”
He Sheng pushed his hand away and walked barefoot on the thick carpet to the door, opening it slightly.
Sister-in-law Wang smiled warmly. “Miss He Sheng, you’re up? I brought you chicken soup and wonton soup. It smells wonderful~”
He Sheng secretly swallowed her saliva, yawned, and put on a sleepy expression while shaking her head, indicating she had not rested enough and would not eat breakfast yet.
“Then I’ll come up again in half an hour?”
He Sheng nodded. Half an hour was enough for her to send him away.
Sister-in-law Wang took the breakfast and went downstairs. He Sheng closed the door and walked back to the bed.
Fu Hanye leaned against the headboard casually, yawning lazily. His soft bangs covered half his forehead, making him look less cold and more youthful than usual.
He Sheng patted his arm and pointed toward the next room, signaling him to return.
Fu Hanye twisted his neck and said one word: “No.”
He Sheng gritted her teeth.
Not leaving?
Then she would leave instead.
He Sheng went into the bathroom to clean up, changed her clothes in the wardrobe, tied her ribbon, and left the room without looking back.
Fu Hanye let out a low laugh. The little mute’s temper was growing bigger and bigger.
Today, Fu Jingnian did not go to the company and stayed home to rest.
He had woken early and already finished breakfast, now sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Although electronic media had developed rapidly in recent years, he still preferred printed newspapers, along with a nice cup of coffee.
When he saw He Sheng come downstairs, he smiled and greeted her with good morning.
He Sheng smiled back in his direction.
Not long after breakfast, the villa’s gatebell rang loudly. Uncle Zhou checked the video intercom and hesitated.
“What is it?” Fu Jingnian asked.
“It’s… the He family.“ Uncle Zhou said.
“What are they doing here?” Fu Jingnian glanced at He Sheng. “Old Zhou, take He Sheng upstairs.”
The He family’s visit could only be for her. Fu Jingnian did not think He Sheng had changed much and instinctively stood in front to protect the younger generation.
He Sheng shook her head. She did not want to go inside.
She would bear the consequences of her own actions. Uncle Fu had already done enough for her; she did not want to trouble him further.
Seeing this, Fu Jingnian did not insist and ordered the He family to be brought in.
While waiting, Uncle Zhou briefly explained what had happened the day before, causing Fu Jingnian to glance over repeatedly in surprise.
Was this really the He Sheng he knew?
He Sheng sat properly on a single sofa nearby and took a light sip of jasmine tea.
From the moment she decided to “deliver a clock.“ He Sheng knew the He family would not let it go easily.
But she was not afraid. The He family were nothing more than green-headed flies—they were annoying, disgusting, and that was all. They did not have the ability to harm her, nor the courage.
They merely provided some entertainment to pass the time in her otherwise dull life.
