Chapter 64: Embracing Each Other to Sleep
Fu Chen took out the thermometer. Because Song Fengwan had drunk alcohol, her breath was hot, and her body temperature was high.
He helped Song Fengwan measure her temperature. She didn’t have a fever, so it was probably due to the alcohol. He got up and went out to get her a gla.s.s of honey water.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Fu Xinhan sitting at the door, shaking his head and tail.
He wagged his tail and got up, preparing to go into the room.
“Go back and sleep!” Fu Chen’s voice was cold.
Fu Xinhan s.h.i.+vered and ran downstairs. I didn’t even offend him, but he’s so angry.
***
Fu Chen had just returned to his room when he heard the vibration of a phone. He followed the sound and found the phone in the pocket of Song Fengwan’s coat.
It was an unknown local number.
It was just past 10 p.m. Fu Chen frowned. He thought it was a hara.s.sment call, so he hung up straight away.
But immediately after, the call came again. He picked it up.
It was none other than Fu Yuxiu.
Ever since he found out that Fu Chen had interfered with Jiang Fengya’s matter, he was scared out of his wits and felt uneasy. He was always ready to welcome Fu Chen’s arrival, but he hadn’t seen him yet.
This anxious wait was no different from being dismembered.
The crux of this incident was still Song Fengwan. He specially picked a time after her cla.s.s ended to call her, hoping to get some news from her.
It would be best if they could reconcile.
“I know you don’t want to answer my call. Don’t hang up yet. I just have something to talk to you…” Fu Yuxiu was using a new number and was afraid that Song Fengwan would hang up when she heard his voice.
The other party didn’t reply.
Fu Yuxiu was still nervously preparing his words while Fu Chen sat down on a chair with the phone, looking relaxed.
“Fengya was indeed in the wrong today. I apologize on her behalf. After all, this matter concerns your family. If things get out of hand, it won’t do anyone any good. If you have time, let’s meet and have a chat. Just give me a few minutes of your time.”
Fu Yuxiu’s tone was already very lowly.
He was anxiously waiting for Song Fengwan’s response when a familiar voice suddenly sounded. He was so frightened that he trembled.
“What do you want to talk about with her?” Fu Chen’s tone was deep and unpredictable.
“… Third Uncle.” Fu Yuxiu felt like crying.
F*ck!
It was the middle of the night, and he was still in the hospital. When he suddenly heard Fu Chen’s voice, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
“I… I’m fine.” Fu Yuxiu forced a smile, his teeth chattering.
“You still want to meet her alone?” Fu Chen’s tone was even lower.
Fu Yuxiu felt extremely guilty, and his spine felt slightly cold.
“I want to continue apologizing to her.”
“And?”
“Nothing else. Hehe… Third Uncle, why aren’t you asleep yet?”
“Don’t hara.s.s her.”
Then Fu Chen immediately hung up, blocked the number, and deleted the call history.
This series of operations was natural and smooth, without any sense of being unaccustomed.
At this moment, the nurses in the hospital were doing their rounds. When a nurse knocked on the door of his ward, Fu Yuxiu was so startled that his legs went weak, his heart trembled, and his face paled.
In the past, it was almost impossible to contact Third Uncle. F*ck, why do I keep b.u.mping into him these days?
Fu Yuxiu was still frightened due to Fu Chen. When he came back to his senses, he started to think about the core question…
Third Uncle has always slept and woke up early. Logically speaking, he should have been sleeping at this hour. Why did he answer the call for Song Fengwan? Are the two of them still together in the middle of the night?
But Fu Yuxiu didn’t think too much into it.
As a result, when Fu Chen and Song Fengwan’s relations.h.i.+p was exposed later, it was no different from being struck by lightning for him.

After was.h.i.+ng up, Fu Chen sat at the head of the bed and stared at her for a long time. He brought the ‘Heart Cleansing Incantation’ over and read it for a long time. After hesitating for a moment…
He walked to the bed, lifted the blanket, and carefully laid down beside her. His fingers hesitated for a moment before he finally hugged her.
The next day…
When Song Fengwan woke up, it was already the next morning.
In the autumn, the jackdaws caused the branches to sink. Outside the window, the fog was even thicker, and the frost froze the leaves. The air was also bleak and cold.
She rolled over and searched around under her pillow with her fingers. She was used to putting her phone under her pillow when she slept. After touching around for a long time and finding nothing, she slowly opened her eyes. The scene greeting her eyes made her heart jump.
The dark blue bed sheets covered the bed, and the surrounding furnis.h.i.+ngs were luxurious and minimalistic. On the bedside table were a cup of honey water and a small incense burner with a wisp of smoke wafting from it.
She suddenly sat up and looked around. On the other bedside table was a string of prayer beads. This was obviously Fu Chen’s room.
Why am I here?!
She subconsciously looked at her clothes. They were intact, but she couldn’t worry about it much now. She hurriedly jumped off the bed and rushed back to her room.
Fu Chen heard the noise and walked out of the changing room. When he saw her running away, his lips slowly curled up.
***
Song Fengwan changed her clothes and hurried downstairs, preparing to go to school. But she didn’t expect Fu Chen to already be drinking tea in the living room.
He was wearing a three-piece suit today. He looked neat and tidy, and the exquisite tie clip complemented him to look increasingly lean and cold. He lowered his head to take a sip of tea, then raised his eyelids to look at Song Fengwan.
He looked arrogant and cold yet calm and ascetic. Every movement of his was elegant and poised.
“Good morning, Third Master.” Song Fengwan smiled embarra.s.sedly.
“Why didn’t you greet me when you woke up and instead left?” Fu Chen’s tone was calm.
Song Fengwan was already feeling guilty and nervous. When she heard this, she missed her footing and almost fell.
Why does this sound so wrong?
