Chapter 137
“Of course not, it’s not like you don’t have any food to eat, your big brother has cooked a big table, here, it’s over there, go back and eat.” Lu Qi pointed at Fu Jingting and refused.
Fu Jinglin glared at him, “I didn’t ask you, who are you to answer.”
“Just on the basis that I’m Baby’s boyfriend.” Lu Qi wrapped his arm around Rongshu’s shoulders.
Rongshu didn’t push it away either.
When Lu Qi saw how cooperative she was, his face became even more smug, “How about it, do you still have questions?”
Fu Jinglin’s face turned red with anger, but soon, he turned his gaze to Rong Shu again, his tone full of pampering, “Sister Rong Shu …… I’m really hungry, just let me eat some, please please please!”
He folded his hands and swung them back and forth twice, his expression looking pitiful.
The first time I saw this, I remembered a little golden hair that I had many years ago, and for a little food, it also stood up on its front paws and bowed towards people, just like Fu Jinglin was doing at this moment.
Rongshu couldn’t help but be soft-hearted and pointed to the empty seat, “Alright, you can eat.”
“Yes, long live Sister Rongshu!” Fu Jinglin jumped up happily, then darted off to the kitchen to get the dishes.
“Baby, you’re really letting him eat, huh?” Lu Qi looked at Rong Shu incredulously, and Cheng Huai and Chen Xingnuo were also amazed.
Even Fu Jingting was stunned.
Hadn’t she said that she wouldn’t look kindly on Fu’s family.
Why did she still let Jing Lin eat?
“Yeah, really let him eat.” Rongshu nodded her head in reply.
Lu Qi frowned, “Why ah?”
Fu Jingting secretly pricked up his ears.
He also wanted to know why.
“It’s simple, the way he looked just now reminded me of Dot.” Rongshu smiled, a hint of nostalgia flashing in her eyes.
Lu Qi flipped through his distant memories and nodded as he pulled out Dot’s look, “It does look a bit like that.”
“The dot you guys are talking about?” Suddenly, Fu Jingting stood up, his face tense as he looked at Rong Shu and asked, the urgency in his voice undisguised.
Dots, was it the dots he was thinking of?
Rongshu and Lu Qi looked at each other, not understanding why Fu Jingting was so excited.
Just as the two were about to answer that Dot was a little golden hair.
Gu Manyin suddenly bent down and buried herself under the table, coughing loudly.
Fu Jingting’s expression tightened and he immediately patted her back, asking with concern, “Mangyin, what’s wrong with you?”
“Jingting, I’m a bit dizzy, I might have a cold, can you help me go to my room?” Gu Manyin lifted her coughing face to look at him.
“Okay.” Fu Jingting nodded his head and agreed.
Gu Manyin weakly said thank you, and was relieved in her heart.
She knew who Dot was, a golden retriever, she had seen it in those letters of Jing Ting’s, she just didn’t expect that Rong Shu would actually mention it out of the blue, and that Jing Ting would hear about it.
But fortunately, with this interruption, she brought the topic of the dot to an end, otherwise Jing Ting would have definitely known that the dot that Rong Shu was talking about was the one he was thinking of, and thus knew that Rong Shu was the one who corresponded with him, the one he really loved.
“Huh, where’s my brother?” Fu Jinglin asked suspiciously as he came out with the dishes and saw that Fu Jingting and Gu Manyin were no longer there.
Lu Qi pointed upstairs, “He went back to his room, you should go back too, don’t eat.”
“I won’t eat if you tell me not to.” Fu Jinglin rolled his eyes, then sat down and started to eat.
The moment the delicious meal entered his mouth, he was almost moved to the point of tears.
“This is what people eat.” Fu Jinglin exclaimed with a happy face.
However, the next second, Rong Shu put down her chopsticks and threw a pot of cold water on him, washing away his happiness, “Remember to put away the table and wash the dishes after you finish eating later.”
“Why?” Fu Jinglin’s eyes widened.
“Why?” Rongshu looked at him with a wry smile, “Because I cooked the rice, Xingnuo washed the vegetables, Cheng Huai killed the fish, and Ah Qi handed over the plates and spices, so you can’t eat for nothing, can you?”
“I ……” Fu Jinglin lowered his head, “I know.”
Rongshu looked at the tangle of dull hair on top of his head and couldn’t help but reach out and stroke it, “Good boy.”
Fu Jinglin blushed, “Are you treating me like a child?”
“If you think so, you are.” Rongshu got up and went upstairs to her room.
Lu Qi and the others had almost finished eating, so they also began to disperse.
In the end, only Fu Jinglin was left alone at the table.
He picked up the rest of the dishes on his plate and poured them into his bowl, humming and puffing as he ate.
……
In the middle of the night, Rongshu was a little thirsty and got up to pour water on the coffee table.
Unfortunately, the kettle on the coffee table was out of water.
The only way to get a drink is to go out and go downstairs.
The thunder outside was gone, but the rain was still falling and the wind was blowing, making one’s scalp tingle and it was very ominous.
Rongshu couldn’t help but rub her arms.
At that moment, the overhead lights went out, and the whole villa seemed to be swallowed by darkness, so dark that nothing could be seen.
Rongshu was startled and subconsciously let out an ah, holding onto the railing beside her, not daring to move.
Because she couldn’t see anything, if she walked around randomly, she would either step in the air and fall down the stairs or bump into something, which could easily hurt her.
“Ah Qi, Ah Qi?” Rongshu’s voice trembled a little as she shouted loudly, hoping that Lu Qi could hear her and rush over to her.
She was now regretting in her heart why she hadn’t brought her mobile phone with her when she went out.
Otherwise she could still use it to shine light.
There was a click, a door opening.
The sound of footsteps came immediately afterwards, accompanied by a bright light.
It should be the glow of a mobile phone torch.
When Rongshu saw the light, the fear in her heart was immediately alleviated, and her tense body gradually relaxed.
“Ah Qi, is that you?” She asked as she looked at the person walking towards her.
The man was against the light, the phone in his hand shining on the ground, and she could not see his face, so she was not sure if it was Lu Qi.
When Fu Jingting heard that Rong Shu had identified herself as Lu Qi, his handsome face darkened.
What part of him looked like Lu Qi?
“It’s me.” Fu Jingting’s thin lips lightly opened and he spat out two words.
Rongshu froze, “Mr. Fu? How come it’s you?”
“What, are you disappointed?” Fu Jingting pursed his lips, his tone a little unhappy.
Rongshu shook her head, “That’s not true, just a little surprised.”
In this darkness, where nothing could be seen, no matter who came, she would not be disappointed, she would only feel happy that there was help.
It was just that she had not expected that the person who came was not Lu Qi, whom she had called out to, but him, Fu Jingting.
“I heard your voice, so I came out to take a look.” Fu Jingting said back.
Because of his hungry stomach, he hadn’t slept very deeply, and he heard her as soon as she called out.
Even if she was shouting for Lu Qi, he still couldn’t help but come out.
“So that’s it.” Rongshu nodded her head, indicating that she knew.
Fu Jingting looked at her, “It’s so late, what are you doing out here?”
“Drinking water, I just didn’t expect to encounter a power outage before I could get downstairs.” Rongshu said back with a bitter smile.
Fu Jingting gave a hint, “Then you go ahead, I’ll light the way for you.”
“You’ll light the way for me?” Rongshu raised her eyebrows to look at him.
He was still against the light, she couldn’t see his face, she could only see the outline of his face.
Fu Jingting lifted his chin, “Is there any problem?”
“No, thank you then.” Rongshu bowed slightly towards him and thanked him.
Although his kindness surprised her.
But with free lighting, it was a waste not to use it.
Holding onto the railing, Rong Shu slowly went downstairs first.
Fu Jingting walked right behind her, holding up his mobile phone to shine the light.
The two of them arrived in the living room.
Rongshu stood in front of the coffee table, picked up the kettle and shook it, smiling faintly when she heard water inside.
Fu Jingting stood beside her, looking at her smile, his eyes darkened slightly.
“By the way, do you want a drink?” As Rongshu took the cup to pour the water, she suddenly remembered that there was someone else and turned her head to the man beside her and asked.
Chapter 138
The man was not thirsty, but out of some unknown state of mind, he still nodded, “Give me a gla*s.”
Rongshu hmmed, picked up another cup and poured him a gla*s of water.
“Thanks.” Fu Jingting took it.
“No need.” Rongshu waved her hand, then lowered her head to drink the water.
Fu Jingting, however, held the gla*s of water without drinking it and kept staring at her.
After finishing the water, Rongshu put the cup down and was just about to say that she could go back to her room when she suddenly heard a cooing sound.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and it was Fu Jingting’s stomach.
Fu Jingting did not expect his stomach to growl at this time, and for the first time, a look of embarra*sment appeared on his face, which had always been cold and expressionless.
When Rongshu saw this, she hooked her lips slightly and wanted to laugh.
After all, it was rare to see such a Fu Jingting.
“That ……” At this time, Fu Jingting’s throat slid twice and suddenly spoke.
Rongshu looked at him, “Is there something wrong?”
“Can you help me make something?” Fu Jingting asked as he lowered his eyes.
Rongshu raised her eyebrows, “You’re asking me to make you something to eat?”
“Mm.” Fu Jingting nodded his head.
He was indeed hungry.
Rongshu pursed her lips, feeling a little ironic in her heart.
For the past six years, she had only learned to cook in order to capture his heart, but he never ate or even looked at it.
But now she had taken the initiative to ask her to make food for him, which was quite ridiculous.
Seeing that Rong Shu was slow to say yes, Fu Jingting’s eyes darkened slightly, and his heart was a bit lost, but he didn’t care on the surface and said, “Just pretend I didn’t say that.”
“No, I’ll do it for you.” Rongshu looked up at him.
Fu Jingting was stunned for a moment, then met her eyes with a slight surprise, “You agree?”
Rongshu nodded, “Consider it a thank you for showing me the way, let’s go, go to the kitchen.”
Fu Jingting’s thin lips lifted and he gave a hint.
The two of them went to the kitchen.
Rongshu opened the fridge, there were few vegetables left inside, only some leafy vegetables.
She thought for a moment and turned her head.
What she didn’t expect was that Fu Jingting was standing behind her, still slightly bent over, looking at the fridge with her.
Then Rongshu’s lips, met Fu Jingting’s.
Both of them froze for a moment.
After a few seconds, Fu Jingting reacted first, took a step back, stood up straight and said in a low, husky voice, “Sorry.”
He did not expect her to turn around suddenly.
Rongshu’s face reddened and she covered her lips in embarra*sment, “It’s not your fault, it’s me who should apologise.”
It was only when she turned around that she bumped into him.
For a while, neither of them spoke, and the large kitchen became exceptionally quiet, with only the sound of shallow breathing ringing out.
A moment later, Fu Jingting’s thin lips moved a little, taking the initiative to break the silence, “Did you just, want to ask me something?”
Rongshu knew that he was taking the initiative to resolve the awkwardness just now, so she stopped being silent and nodded back, “I wanted to say that there are no more dishes in the fridge, can I make you a bowl of noodles?”
“Yes.” Fu Jingting agreed.
Rongshu took out a handful of vegetables and walked towards the sink.
Fu Jingting followed her, giving her the light.
Soon, a bowl of noodles was ready.
The two of them went to the dining room.
Rongshu put the noodles on the table, “Eat.”
“Thanks.” Fu Jingting looked at the hot, still richly scented noodles, his face softened as he thanked her.
Rongshu yawned and wiped the tears that had seeped out of the corners of her eyes, her voice was sleepy as she urged, “Alright, hurry up and eat, and send me back to the third floor when you’re done.”
“Okay.” Fu Jingting looked at her impatient face and inexplicably felt somehow cute.
Afterwards, Fu Jingting pulled out a chair and sat down, starting to eat the noodles.
Rongshu sat right next to him, propping her head up and waiting for him to finish eating.
However, after waiting for a short while, her yawns became more and more frequent, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her head also rose little by little, with the look of being so sleepy.
When Fu Jingting saw this, a smile that he didn’t even know flashed in his eyes, and then he sped up the speed of eating the noodles.
But before he could finish eating, Rong Shu could not stay up any longer and fell asleep on the table.
Fu Jingting froze for a moment, and then suddenly burst out laughing.
But soon, he gathered his expression again, put down his chopsticks and got up, walked behind Rong Shu and gently nudged her, “Rong Shu, wake up, it’s time to go upstairs.”
Rongshu was dreaming at the moment and saw herself being grabbed by a monster, so she frowned and pouted, “Don’t touch me, let go!”
Fu Jingting thought she had woken up and subconsciously took her hand away.
But after a while, he didn’t see Rong Shu stand up, so it was clear that she wasn’t awake at all and was just talking in her sleep.
Rubbing his brow helplessly, Fu Jingting also gave up the idea of waking Rong Shu up, and picked her up straight away and headed upstairs.
When he arrived at the third floor, Fu Jingting saw an open door and guessed that it should be Rong Shu’s room.
He carried Rongshu inside and went to the bed by the limited light of his mobile phone, bending down to put Rongshu on the bed, but unexpectedly Rongshu hugged his neck and wouldn’t let go.
Fu Jingting couldn’t stand up, so he could only arch his back and look at the woman on the bed, his voice low, “Rong Shu, let go.”
“Don’t go.” Rongshu suddenly spoke up, and her face had a slightly frightened expression, as if she was having a nightmare.
It was the first time that Fu Jingting saw her like this, and his heart was moved as he softly said, “Okay, I won’t leave.”
Perhaps it was because she heard this that the fear on Rong Shu’s face gradually dissipated and the corners of her mouth hooked up slightly.
Fu Jingting gazed at her lips, and his mind suddenly recalled that unexpected kiss in the kitchen just now.
Although it was only a slapdash kiss, the soft touch of her lips was deeply engraved in his memory.
He couldn’t help but lower his head, lock his lips to Rong Shu’s and kiss her.
It really felt as good as he remembered, soft and sweet, making him want to claim more.
In fact, Fu Jingting did just that.
He knelt on one knee on the bed, reached up and lifted Rong Shu’s chin, slipping his tongue in the moment her lips opened.
“Mmm ……” Rong Shu stifled a hum, her voice soft and long, with a hint of seduction, causing Fu Jingting’s eyes to darken even more, and the kiss to go even deeper.
Gradually, Fu Jingting had begun to be somewhat unsatisfied with this, and his large hands reached out towards Rong Shu’s body.
Even the kisses gradually moved down to Rong Shu’s neck.
But at this moment, Rong Shu suddenly cried out a name, “Ah Qi ……”
Fu Jingting was like being sprayed with a pot of cold water, his entire body instantly sobered up, his face dark and ugly.
He threw Rong Shu’s arm off his neck and straightened up to stand by the bed, his eyes gloomy as he stared at the woman on the bed.
She was actually underneath him, shouting another man’s name.
But what annoyed him most was that he had actually done something to her that he shouldn’t have done once again, and this was already the third time.
Thinking about this, Fu Jingting sank his face and turned to leave.
Rongshu rolled over and hugged the quilt, speaking again in a dissatisfied tone, “Ah Qi, don’t rob me of my dot ……”
This night, Fu Jingting almost stayed up all night, thinking all the time about why exactly he had done that to Rong Shu, and why his mood had been affected by her, becoming unlike himself.
The next day, Fu Jingting woke up, his face was full of fatigue, and there was a faint greenish black under his eyelids.
When Gu Manyin saw this, she quickly asked with concern, “Jingting, did you not sleep well last night?”
Fu Jingting was just about to answer when Cheng Huai came over from the side with a bottle of beer, “Yo, Jingting, it looks like you had a good nightlife last night, you have dark circles under your eyes, ask the chef to get you some oysters later to tonic your kidneys, otherwise you won’t be able to give Miss Gu enough happiness in the future.”
Gu Manyin understood, her face reddened and she lowered her head in embarra*sment.
Fu Jingting wrinkled his eyebrows, his face cold, and rewarded Cheng Huai directly with one word, “Get lost!”
