Miao Xi was a small country, famous for her Gu worms.
Just hearing about these worms would make one’s hair stand on end, not to mention using them on one’s body.
Unless it was necessary, Yin Shi did not want his master to try this method.
After all, Gu worms had their drawbacks.
The man’s gaze was thoughtful. He had heard of the Gu worms from Miao Xi but had not seen them with his own eyes. He did not comment on Yin Shi’s suggestion.
Yin Shi did not broach the subject further. “I have already asked the doctor to prepare medicine for the eyes,” he said. “It will be ready for use tomorrow.”
The medicinal herbs used to apply to the eyes were very rare and difficult to find. They had to find a new source because the existing medicinal herbs had been used up.
“Mm.” The man turned his vision once again to the scenery outside and did not say anything.
Qin Shu spent the whole afternoon writing her graduation thesis in Jiangcheng, Bright Garden. Upon completion, she spent yet another hour revising it. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she sent the graduation thesis to Jun Li via email.
The thesis was originally meant to be sent to her tutor, but because she had been taking online classes at home, she naturally did away with the tutor eventually.
Some time ago, Jun Li had sent a message to ask her how the classes were going. He had requested for her to send her graduation thesis directly to his email upon completing it so that he could see it for himself.
After she was done with the necessary tasks, she stretched her back and neck.
She had been completely immersed in her thesis earlier and did not have the attention to think about anything else.
Now that she had time to relax, her thoughts wandered back to Fu Tingyu.
What was the relationship between them both?
Before she could conclude anything, it was time for dinner.
When Fu Tingyu left in the morning, he had said that he would come back earlier tonight to have dinner with her.
Upon heading downstairs, she saw the tall figure of a man walking in from outside. When Fu Tingyu saw her, he immediately walked over to hold her hand and asked, “Have you finished your graduation thesis?”
“I have finished it. I’m just waiting for Jun Li to read it,” she replied.
She could focus on other things now that the university classes had been completed ahead of time.
The butler instructed the maids to bring the dishes to the table one by one.
Fu Tingyu first took her to wash her hands.
While doing so, he took her into his arms, squeezed some hand soap, and lathered it evenly on his palm. He then held her slender fingers in his hands and applied the soap on the back of her hand, then on her palm. His movements were gentle and very careful.
Qin Shu looked down at Fu Tingyu washing her hands for her. The feeling was different from washing her own hands, especially when she was cradled in his arms like that. He treated her as carefully as he would a child.
Fu Tingyu held her hands under the running water until the foam on them was washed clean. He then released her and took out a tissue to wipe off the water droplets on her hands before drying his own.
When they walked into the dining room, the maids had already laid out the dishes.
The two of them sat down at the dining table.
Fu Tingyu picked up his chopsticks and looked up at Qin Shu opposite him. “I’m going to North Star tomorrow. Would you like to come with me?”
Go to North Star?
Qin Shu stopped eating and asked, “How many days are you planning to stay in North Star?”
“About three days,” replied Fu Tingyu.
Three days?
She thought about it and said, “I won’t go then. I want to bring Xiao Jiu back. It’s been a month. I miss him.”
She had been counting the days. It would be an entire month after tomorrow. She didn’t know if Xiao Jiu had lost or gained any weight. Had he grown taller?
Her master had not called or sent a message to inform her.
Even if he did, they were anonymous calls. She could not call back even if she wanted to.
Fu Tingyu was momentarily taken aback when he heard that. He did some calculations and realized it had indeed been a month. He had spent every day with his wife. He did not expect time to have passed so quickly. Xiao Jiu had already left for a month.
Seeing that his wife was missing her son, he agreed.
“Then be careful when you are on your way. Bring Ye Luo and the others,” he advised.
Qin Shu nodded heavily. “Okay, don’t worry. I will take care of myself.”
Fu Tingyu smiled and picked up her favorite dishes with his chopsticks and put them into her bowl.
Thinking of being able to bring her son back, Qin Shu happily ate the dishes that Fu Tingyu picked for her.
After dinner, Qin Shu looked up Fu Tingyu. “Are you busy tonight? How about going out for a walk to help with the digestion?” she asked.
“No matter how busy I am, I will still find time to accompany my wife for a walk.” Fu Tingyu stood up and came in front of Qin Shu, reaching out his beautiful hand toward her.
Qin Shu almost thought that Fu Tingyu was inviting her to dance. He was very gentlemanly. She smiled and reached out to put her hand in his warm palm, stood up, and followed him out.
It was a cold winter. The courtyard wall that had been repaired helped to block the wind, which made it less chilly.
Fu Tingyu still held her tightly in his arms to prevent her from freezing.
The red plum blossoms in the courtyard were in mid-bloom. If it had been a snowy day, it would have been one of the most beautiful scenes.
Qin Shu thought that Fu Tingyu might attend a banquet of sorts in North Star. “You better be careful when you go to North Star,” she cautioned him. “You can drink, but you can’t get drunk. If you dare to act recklessly outside after drinking, I will not let it go.”
Fu Tingyu looked down at her. “My wife’s words are the imperial edict. How could I not listen?”
“I am glad you know that,” Qin Shu replied, her mouth upturned.
Fu Tingyu saw her smile and said, “Even if I were drunk, I would still be able to recognize my wife. I will only be reckless around my wife because I have her consent.”
Qin Shu smiled and asked, “If you’re drunk, what else would you know?”
Fu Tingyu suddenly stopped and pulled her into his arms. He lowered his body, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, “The fragrance on my wife’s body is unique. Like the Peach Blossom Brew, it can intoxicate one’s heart just by smelling it. Even if I were drunk, I would still be able to tell.”
Qin Shu turned her head to look at Fu Tingyu so close to her. “Were you also so good at sweet-talking in the past?” She could not help but ask.
Fu Tingyu paused and shook his head. “No.”
In the past, they had always said that he had an evil mouth.
Qin Shu nodded thoughtfully. “I understand now. You must have been very toxic in the past. That’s why we were incompatible.”
Incompatible?
Fu Tingyu thought back to the past. In the first two years, they had met ten times. Seven times, they fought. Two times, it was a bicker. The last time, it was because she didn’t want to talk to him.
He also felt that the way they used to get along was too annoying for each other.
Qin Shu knew that she was right when she saw his expression.
She thought that there was a reason why she didn’t like him when she was younger!
Fu Tingyu called out, “Babe.”
Qin Shu raised her eyebrows. “What’s wrong?” she asked.
Fu Tingyu opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but he held back. “Go back inside. I’m going to North Star first thing tomorrow morning,” he said.
The hint was obvious.
Qin Shu had been with Fu Tingyu for so long that she could guess what he was thinking just by the look in his eyes. He was going to North Star first thing in the morning and she was going to Nan Yue. She nodded and agreed. “Let’s go back. It’s a little cold after walking for so long.”
“Okay,” replied Fu Tingyu. He did not let go of her. Instead, he bent down and carried her in his arms, taking big strides into the house.
The both of them came out of the shower with their bodies still giving off the fragrance of the shower gel.
Fu Tingyu hugged Qin Shu from behind and murmured into her ear, “Babe, you are not only like Peach Blossom Brew but also like honey, fragrant and sweet. The old me….”
