『Host, keep it up! I know how to comfort you now!』
Shu Xian didn’t have time to deal with him; he still had a pile of work unfinished.
Although Fu Yichen had told him he didn’t need to do those things, for the task he still had to smile and say it was fine.
Wuwuwu, he was really so tired he wanted to cry.
He couldn’t finish it at all. There was just no way to finish it.
『Host, listen carefully. I’m comforting you now.』
006 cleared its throat.
『I love you walking alone through the dark alley, I love your unyielding stance…』
006 was completely immersed in its own heavenly singing voice. The host would surely be very happy after hearing it.
『Get lost. Don’t make me report you to the Main System.』
Work was annoying enough already.
『Wuwu…』
006 sobbed pitifully, covering its mouth and not daring to cry too loudly.
The internet had lied to it, teaching it to comfort people like this.
Shu Xian tossed the mop aside.
Mm, so tired.
Even mopping the living room was this exhausting. Wuwu, his hands were rubbed raw.
“Shu Xian, stop messing with it.”
“The nanny will be here soon.”
Fu Yichen still couldn’t bear to let him keep working.
The little young master had never suffered hardship. There was no reason to make him suffer here either.
“Really?”
Hearing that the nanny was coming, Shu Xian’s mood instantly brightened.
“Really. Just keep me company and chat with me. Help me change the medicine, and that’s enough.”
“Mm, okay, hehe.”
Fu Yichen really was a good brother.
“Want some snacks?”
Shu Xian rummaged through the snacks he had just bought from the supermarket. After all, it wasn’t good to visit someone else’s home empty-handed.
Fu Yichen looked at Shu Xian with some amusement.
“This is what you buy when visiting a patient?”
“Yes, they’re all really delicious. I tested them myself.”
Shu Xian raised his hand to swear it was true.
“Hehe, you’re so cute.”
Fu Yichen rubbed his head.
Smack. Shu Xian slapped his hand away.
“You’re the cute one. I’m very manly, okay?”
Shu Xian tore open a bag of chicken feet and gnawed on them.
“You don’t think I’m stupid enough to visit a patient without buying fruit, do you?”
“Your refrigerator is definitely full of fruit that friends brought when they visited you.”
“Even if I bought it, you wouldn’t be able to finish it. I might as well buy snacks. These aren’t spicy, so you can eat them. A like-shaped food nourishes the matching part.”
Shu Xian held out a non-spicy chicken foot to him.
“Hehe, you’re really both smart and cute.”
Fu Yichen’s hand, which had been about to rub his hair, moved to his cheek instead and pinched it.
“Don’t insult me. You’re the smart one. You’re the big genius.”
Having a nanny around was just too happy.
Waking up to food already prepared, and not having to wash dishes or cook, was wonderful.
When Shu Xian got up, it was already noon. Fu Yichen should be taking a nap now.
“Young Master Shu, what’s your relationship with Young Master Fu?”
Shu Xian, still eating, looked up at the nanny, who had an auntie-like smile on her face.
So direct? So gossipy?
“We’re brothers. Good brothers who’d go through fire and water for each other. You get it?”
“Got it, got it.”
The nanny nodded, then added, “Who’s on top and who’s on the bottom?”
!!!
?
“You’ve misunderstood. We’re purely friends, pure as pure milk!”
Shu Xian said solemnly.
“Fine, fine, I understand. Young Master Shu, eat more. This soup is very nourishing.”
The nanny ladled him a bowl of soup.
…
Was this nanny shipping a couple in her employer’s house?
Shu Xian wondered whether he should have Fu Yichen fire her and hire someone else.
But this auntie did take very good care of them in daily life.
After thinking it over, Shu Xian decided to let it go and give her one more chance.
“You’re awake?”
“Want something to eat?”
Fu Yichen woke up just after Shu Xian finished eating.
Just look at that posture. As expected of someone who had been in the military.
Even with one leg and one hand on a crutch, he walked faster than Shu Xian, not needing help from anyone at all.
That was exactly how a considerate top should be.
“No, help me wash some fruit.”
“Okay, then go sit in the living room first.”
Shu Xian took a small basket of strawberries and an apple.
These strawberries were so big and plump; he had to eat them first.
It would be a pity if they went bad.
“Here, eat.”
Shu Xian gave him the apple, then hugged the basket of strawberries and started devouring them.
“Eat the apple first, then the strawberries. Apples are better for your health.”
Afraid he wouldn’t believe him, Shu Xian continued,
“Well, the doctor said one apple a day keeps the doctor away.”
Shu Xian ate the strawberries without the slightest embarrassment. He had taken care of him for so many days; what was wrong with eating a few?
“You really like strawberries?”
Shu Xian ate them two at a time, nonstop. Before long, his red lips were dyed even redder by the strawberry juice, looking crystal clear.
“Mm, they’re delicious.”
“Finished the apple?”
Shu Xian picked up a strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth. “Eat it. It’s super sweet.”
『Host, Fu Yichen doesn’t like strawberries.』
Fu Yichen, as if possessed, began gently chewing the strawberry that had been stuffed into his mouth.
Very sweet, with lots of juice.
The strawberry’s fragrance was also very pleasant, almost like Shu Xian’s scent.
『See? He’s eating it, isn’t he?』
The novel was already broken; the characters’ personalities and preferences probably had changed too.
Shu Xian saw Fu Yichen staring straight at him, and thinking he still wanted more, he picked up another strawberry and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Eat, good brother. There’s plenty.”
Shu Xian stopped eating and left the rest for him.
“You eat too.”
Fu Yichen liked watching him eat strawberries.
“I’ve had enough. You eat.”
Shu Xian stopped eating, and even the strawberries he had been eating seemed to lose some of their flavor.
Fu Yichen picked up a strawberry. “Open up.”
Shu Xian originally wanted to refuse, but who could refuse something so fragrant and delicious?
He bit the strawberry right from his hand.
Mm, really delicious.
“You eat too.”
Shu Xian also picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.
The nanny, hiding in the kitchen, held up her phone and grinned so widely her mouth nearly split open.
They still said they were brothers. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei weren’t like this.
She quietly tapped send on the photo she had just taken.
Then she happily clocked out.
“What are you laughing at?”
This Fu Yichen was acting a little crazy, smiling at him while eating a strawberry.
“Nothing. I just think food tastes better when eaten with someone.”
“Hmph. You’re lucky to have a friend like me.”
Shu Xian was not modest at all.
After spending more time with Fu Yichen, he discovered that he was actually pretty loyal.
He was also upright; whatever he thought, he said. Shu Xian felt very comfortable staying at his house.
In daily life, aside from eating, drinking, and basic needs, he didn’t make Shu Xian do much.
He even changed his own medicine himself.
He basically never bothered Shu Xian.
Shu Xian seriously suspected there was a bug in the original plot. After all, no matter how much a person changed, they shouldn’t change this much, right?
In his previous life, Li Wu had worked himself to the bone at Fu Yichen’s house. In this life, was he enjoying himself at Fu Yichen’s house?
Sigh. Who knew?
“Xian, I’m going to the hospital for a follow-up checkup. My comrade will go with me. You can stay home or go out and have some fun.”
If he was going for a follow-up, he should be nearly recovered. His task was almost done too~
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at home.”
Shu Xian’s tone was cheerful.
Fu Yichen often liked calling his name when he was bored, and later on he would just call one syllable: Xian.
Shu Xian let him do as he pleased.
After Fu Yichen went to the hospital, Shu Xian was left home alone.
Ding-dong.
Back already?
Shu Xian got up and opened the door.
A gorgeously dressed lady stood at the entrance, and she looked somewhat similar to Fu Yichen.
“Who are you?”
“Are you Fu Yichen’s younger sister? Or his sister?”
“Hehe, what a sweet mouth.”
“I’m his Mom.”
The gorgeously dressed lady came straight in and sat on the sofa.
“Uh, Auntie, hello. Fu Yichen went to the hospital for a follow-up checkup.”
Shu Xian looked a little uneasy.
“I know. I’m here to see you.”
“To see me?”
What did she want with him?
“I’ll be blunt. Are you together with Fu Yichen?”
“Ah? No, no. Auntie, you’ve misunderstood. We’re just friends.”
Shu Xian denied it three times in a row.
“Don’t be shy, young man. Auntie isn’t here to break you two up.”
“No, Auntie. We really aren’t together.”
Shu Xian explained.
“Then what about this?”
Fu Yichen’s mother directly held up the photo of the two of them eating strawberries in front of him.
The angle of the photo made them look like a couple feeding each other strawberries.
Shu Xian guessed it had probably been taken by the nanny.
“Although this photo looks a little… suggestive, we really aren’t.”
Shu Xian scratched his head in anxiety, not knowing how to explain.
“Sigh, no need to be shy.”
“Our Yichen definitely likes you.”
“He never feeds other people, and he never eats anything fed to him by others.”
“He must really like you.”
Fu Yichen’s mother covered her mouth with an auntie-like smile.
She was quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. He was good-looking, very well-behaved, and had such a sweet mouth.
So this was the type her son liked.
