Chapter 133 Good thing
Based on the size of the scar he described, a small amount of Yu Rong Ointment would be enough.

Since she was his sister, Su Ning readily agreed, "I'll bring her to you when I go to work tomorrow."

"Great! Thanks, Ningbao... cough cough, don't do it, is this alright, Suning?"

Fu Jiaming seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. Before he could even finish calling out Luo Shuangshuang's special nickname, he felt a chill run down his spine. His mouth worked faster than his brain and he decisively changed it.

They've known each other for quite some time and have been through several thrilling experiences together. Doesn't he feel that calling him by his full name makes him seem distant?

"How much is Suning Jade Complexion Cream? I'll pay you first."

"Your sister's injury isn't serious; this little bit of the Jade Complexion Ointment should be enough..."

He jokingly raised his hand and pinched half of his index finger's knuckle with his thumb. "How much do you think I should ask for?"

"It works so quickly, the formula passed down might be a secret royal recipe, and it must have used a lot of good medicinal herbs~"

"Suning, how about we offer a discount? A friend's price of 200?"

Fu Jiaming chuckled sheepishly. He had always been a big spender, and since he moved to Gushi with Yanbei, he hadn't saved any money in the past year or two.

If it weren't for his mother's occasional financial support, well...

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Consider this my gift to Sister Fu."

"Then I'll shamelessly thank you on behalf of my sister?"

……

The three chatted and laughed, and time flew by. It seemed like only a short while had passed when they heard familiar shouts coming from outside the door, and they realized it was already noon.

"It's that grapefruit guy."

"No one else knocks on the door like that except her, I'll go open the door for her!"

Despite his muttering complaints, Fu Jiaming acted swiftly, quickly getting up and turning towards the door.

He quickly removed the bolt and opened the door. Looking at Luo Shuangshuang, whom he hadn't seen for some time, who was still smiling and immediately put her hands on her hips when she realized it was him, he couldn't stop smiling.

"Heh, it's you, Ning Baogai! Get out of my way!"

"What, is it wrong for me to open the door for you? Should I close it and have someone else open it for you again?"

"A good woman doesn't argue with a man!"

Taking advantage of his inattention, she stepped on his shiny leather shoes and then shoved him aside.

Having succeeded in her scheme, Luo Shuangshuang made a face at him with a smug look on her face and slipped into the courtyard first.

Looking down at the small footprint on his leather shoe, Fu Jiaming was both annoyed and amused: How old are you to still play such childish tricks?

She's just...so adorable no matter how you look at her.

Scratching his head dumbly, Fu Jiaming closed the door without wiping away the shoe prints, and followed the other person inside with a strange sweet feeling welling up in his heart.

"Did I step on you and knock your soul out of your body?"

"Ha, it's good that you're stupid. If you're stupid, I'll make you marry me and repay me for the rest of your life!"

He retorted instinctively, but what he said stunned both of them.

As if the temperature had suddenly risen, one person's face turned bright red, while the other person's was even more exaggerated, with all the exposed skin turning red.

"Bah, you think so beautifully!"

After a long while, Luo Shuangshuang finally found her voice. Embarrassed, she cursed and disappeared into the corridor without looking back.

They went to open the door, and came in one after the other, both with flushed faces and looking lost in their own worlds.

After exchanging a silent glance with Yan Bei, Su Ning turned her head and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Xiyou, Jiaming, what are you two up to?"

"Ning Baogai bullied me!"

"Honestly, did I bully you?"

Weighing over 140 pounds, with 100 pounds of it being the rebellious Fu Jiaming, he retorted reflexively.

When he came to his senses and remembered his lewd and flirtatious remark, the finger pointing at the leather shoe subtly curled inward.

Fu Jiaming rubbed his nose a couple of times, embarrassed. He looked up at the sky and down the floor, not daring to look her in the eye again. "Ahem, I'm serious."

So, it's not about being a hooligan!
Her heart was pounding wildly. Luo Shuangshuang covered her face, which was as hard as a boiled egg, and stomped her foot angrily: What on earth is this guy trying to do!

Is this a joke? Or are you serious?
Was he serious when he said he wanted her to marry him and spend her life with him?
"W-what do you mean?"

"Shuangshuang, I..."

Fu Jiaming nervously rubbed his palms together, as if he had mustered up his courage, and finally turned his gaze to her.

"Hmm, I think you two need to have a good talk. I'll go cook first."

"I'll go help." Sensing something, Su Ning stood up without saying a word and went to the kitchen.

Yan Bei, who understood just as well, followed him off the straw mat and turned around to look at him with a very complicated expression.

Entering the kitchen, seeing her clearly in a good mood with a bright smile on her lips, I couldn't help but whisper, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"

"If I'm not mistaken, will we soon be able to enjoy the good news from these two?"

"You knew already?"

"You know what? They're both interested in each other?"

I thought she was still young and clueless about relationships, so I would have to wait patiently.

It was only then that Yanbei realized that with Su Ning's intelligence, even without prior experience, she possessed keen intuition and outstanding insight.

So she knew…

Why are you looking at me like that again?

"again?"

"Yeah, you often look at me like that..."

Su Ning paused as she prepared to squat down and open the rice cabinet, and couldn't help but look up at him intently.

He didn't look away in embarrassment because of what he said; he just stared back at her with an indescribable, intense gaze.

That focused and serious expression on his face was as if he saw the whole world in his eyes, and that whole world was... her?

Because of this thought, Su Ning awkwardly avoided other people's attention for the first time, and the rhythm in her heart suddenly went out of control, crashing erratically into her chest.

“Suning…”

"How about we have shredded pork with garlic sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, stewed pig's trotters with soybeans, braised winter melon, and a stir-fried bok choy today?"

It was hard to say whether it was disappointment or something else, but Yanbei didn't want to press her on this matter. Since she changed the subject, it meant she wasn't ready yet.

He has enough time and patience to wait until the day she completely opens her heart.

So, no rush.

Most importantly, judging from her behavior just now, apart from some panic and confusion, she didn't seem to have any aversion or resistance, which is already the best outcome.

"Okay, it's up to you."

For a moment, an extremely subtle emotion gradually spread in the small space of the kitchen, and even slowly fermented.

The two people left alone in the front yard presented a different picture.

Finally freed from the strange atmosphere by the noise, Su Ning shook her head violently and looked at Yan Bei, who remained silent and seemed lost in thought, with a puzzled expression.

"Should we go out and take a look?"

"Ok?"

Startled, Yan Bei steadied himself, turned around, and took two steps closer to the kitchen door. Through the slightly ajar door, he heard a series of increasingly loud voices, and a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Given the situation just now, shouldn't the confession have come naturally? Why?

Why does it sound like they're arguing?
"Not yet."

Since neither of them called out to them, does that mean it's still going on? Going over rashly might interrupt something good…

"Ning Baogai!"

The loud roar shook the house so much it felt like it was about to tremble.

Upon hearing the sound, Su Ning, who had been hesitant inside, immediately dropped what she was holding and quickly left the kitchen.

"What's wrong, Grapefruit?"

"Ning Baogai, listen to the rubbish Fu Jiaming is spouting! He's driving me crazy!"

Upon seeing her, Luo Shuangshuang's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran forward, grabbing her arm in a mix of coquettishness and tattling.

This... seems like someone is angry, but it doesn't feel like the negotiations have broken down?

Completely bewildered, with a face full of question marks, Su Ning patted her hand, "I'm a little confused, what's going on between you two?"

One sentence was enough to instantly change the mood of the two pufferfish, who were both initially indignant.

Luo Shuangshuang, clenching her fist and glaring at him, said: "So, you call yourself my boyfriend? Were you just teasing me with your heartfelt confession? You like to tease me, you like to roast me!"
Fu Jiaming, who belatedly started arguing with her again, said: "Damn it, I'm about to lose the person I just started dating and haven't even gotten close to yet."

"Let me ask you two first, are you dating now?"

"Hehe, yes!"

"No, I regret it!"
