Fu Shinian unexpectedly didn’t know that the people around him had all developed the Eyes of Golden Fla, but since it was sumr and Su Mu was wearing short sleeves, such marks were indeed easy to spot. Fu Shinian didn’t hide anything and simply admitted his wrongs:
"I forced her."
"You..." The old lady threw a pillow at him, unable to hold back her scolding, "You little bastard, do you know what you’re doing? What ti is it now? Instead of properly seeking Su Mu’s forgiveness, you still do such despicable things, what are you thinking?"
Fu Shinian wasn’t really thinking anything specific; everything he did was rely to get Su Mu to co back. His thods were a bit aggressive, but he felt that he hadn’t done anything wrong, still feeling the sa up to this mont. Without a forceful approach, she wouldn’t give him a chance to co back to his side.
Maybe it was because there were too many troubles today that Fu Shinian didn’t really want to explain too much to the old lady, and softly responded to all her reprimands:
"I’ll go upstairs and check."
The old lady originally didn’t want Fu Shinian to go upstairs, worried that Su Mu would feel uncomfortable if she saw him, but before she could say anything, Su Shiyue stopped her. The old lady said no more and watched Fu Shinian go upstairs.
In the master bedroom upstairs, Su Mu was already lying in bed with Qiqi. Although Qiqi was unconscious, sleeping, she seed to sense Su Mu’s arrival, her two arms clutching Su Mu’s arms, looking like she was seeking the most comforting support. Fu Shinian stood at the door and gently smiled, then stepped inside.
Su Mu saw Fu Shinian the mont he entered, but the next second she looked away, not saying a word, nor giving him another glance. Fu Shinian silently stood by the bed, looking down at Qiqi. After a long silence, he too lay down on the bed. Su Mu’s expression tensed montarily, showing signs of withdrawal, but Qiqi tightened her grip on her arm.
Fu Shinian spoke:
"Just lie still, I won’t do anything to you. I just want to be here with you, and with Qiqi."
His credibility in this regard was almost zero, and Su Mu was reluctant to believe him. However, she seed to have no other options at this mont, especially since Qiqi still had a fever and needed her. Rembering what had just happened, Su Mu didn’t want to see Fu Shinian, but seeing his current attitude, really just lying there without any extra movents, she gradually let her guard down.
Ti passed unknowingly. Qiqi sweated out her fever, and the heat receded. Su Mu fell asleep without realizing it. When she opened her eyes, Fu Shinian was using a towel to wipe Qiqi’s body and saw her wake up, he smiled slightly:
"Qiqi’s fever is gone, she should be fine now, you don’t need to worry anymore."
Su Mu felt sowhat regretful. In the past, whenever such incidents occurred, she would watch over Qiqi without leaving her side, not even daring to close her eyes. But sohow now she had beco increasingly negligent. Fu Shinian seed to sense what Su Mu was thinking, smiled slightly, and after washing the towel in the basin, he said lightly:
"Thank you for trusting to take good care of Qiqi."
Su Mu looked up at him, suddenly understanding the aning behind Fu Shinian’s words. He was saying that because she trusted him to take care of Qiqi, she could rest while Qiqi’s fever was still present, since he was indeed genuinely good to Qiqi.
Thinking about it carefully, it seed that was indeed the reason.
Su Mu didn’t say anything further, and when she got up trying to help, Fu Shinian stopped her:
"You don’t need to move, I’ve wiped all the sweat off Qiqi’s body. She should feel more comfortable now; you continue to stay with her."
Saying this, he picked up the basin from the floor and walked towards the bathroom. Su Mu watched Fu Shinian’s figure, lost in thought for a long ti. This was her first ti seeing Fu Shinian be so tender with soone, treating her like his entire world.
When Fu Shinian ca out of the bathroom, he went directly to the wardrobe, retrieved a set of pajamas for Qiqi, and Su Mu knew what he was intending to do. So, she got up, and Fu Shinian glanced at her:
"Go wash as well, change into sothing comfortable, and then lie down with Qiqi."
Su Mu knew and trusted that Fu Shinian would take good care of Qiqi, so she did not refuse and went straight to the wardrobe to take her change of clothes out. She didn’t stay in the bathroom too long, and when she ca out, Fu Shinian had already changed Qiqi into her pajamas, including himself into casual ho clothes.
Hearing so noise, Fu Shinian looked back at Su Mu:
"It’s getting late, why don’t you sleep early, you might have to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Su Mu stepped forward:
"No, I’m not going anywhere. Qiqi is sick, and I won’t leave her side."
Fu Shinian heard this and smiled slightly, saying no more, because of Qiqi, they had a rare quiet mont of coexistence.
Perhaps the events that had occurred earlier in Su Mu’s apartnt would make Su Mu unhappy, so Fu Shinian didn’t plan to stay overnight with them, although he really wanted to. But knowing Su Mu’s unwillingness, he prepared to leave. Yet, it happened that at this mont, Qiqi opened her eyes, saw Fu Shinian turning to leave, and softly called out:
"Fu Shinian..."
Fu Shinian turned around, smiled at Qiqi’s listless appearance, and walked over to bend down and gently caress her forehead:
"How do you feel now, Qiqi? Better?"
Qiqi nodded:
"Fu Shinian, are you leaving?"
"Yes, you need to rest well. Su Mu is here with you."
Qiqi seed to notice Su Mu beside her then, looking at her and smiling sweetly, but her high fever left her with little energy, and her whole appearance was listless. She cried out ’Su Mu’ then returned her gaze to Fu Shinian, even reaching out to pull his hand:
"Fu Shinian, don’t leave, I want you to stay with ."
Fu Shinian bent down and kissed her forehead:
"I won’t leave you, I’ll stay with you, don’t worry."
"Will you leave after I fall asleep?"
Fu Shinian didn’t want to lie to his daughter, nor did he want to tell the harsh truth. Seeing the intense hope in Qiqi’s eyes, he turned his gaze on Su Mu, and Qiqi followed Fu Shinian’s gaze to her. Finally, she understood that Su Mu was the issue tonight and spoke:
"Su Mu, let Fu Shinian stay, please?"
Su Mu had always known of Qiqi’s dependency on Fu Shinian, but didn’t expect it to reach such an extent. She thought about refusing, which she definitely would have done under normal circumstances, but seeing Qiqi’s feeble appearance and her painfully pale little face, the simple words ’no good’ sohow couldn’t be spoken. In the end, she could only smile and nod:
"Okay."
