The unattainable beauty was driven to depravity and madness by a wicked seed.

Lu Sui frowned. "No."

Lu Huai-ren is keeping an eye on them, which will cause trouble for Shen Qing-huai.

Shen Qinghuai nodded slightly and continued sending a voice message to Liu Qiushui, "He doesn't like meeting strangers. When it's time to discuss marriage, I will bring him back."

"You're lying." He and Shen Qinghuai cannot get married.

"……Um."

Shen Qinghuai saved the data and shut down the computer. Looking at Lu Sui still lying in bed, he picked him up. "Can we go back now?"

"You've made up your mind."

"Yes, I've decided. You go to the restroom first, I'll go find you a coat... Do you want to stay there tonight?"

"hotel?"

"My home," Shen Qinghuai said. "My room."

Seeing that Lu Sui didn't speak, he carried her all the way to the bathroom, went to the bedroom to find Lu Sui a coat, emptied his own bag of clothes to pack Lu Sui's toiletries, face cream, sunscreen, and a change of clothes for both of them, and went outside to pack things for Lu Sui to care for her scars.

If he wants to stay there, we can't let him be uncomfortable.

After tidying everything up, Shen Qinghuai messaged the nutritionist, explaining that he had something to do the next day. The nutritionist understood and told Shen Qinghuai to message him again when he had time. He put the blanket back in the bedroom and asked Lu Sui, "Do you have an affordable car?"

Lu Sui shook his head and said, "If you need it, go buy it now."

Shen Qinghuai chuckled and hugged Lu Sui, giving him a kiss.

"..." Which of his statements was wrong?

Before leaving, Shen Qinghuai put snacks in his crossbody bag and put candy in Lu Sui's pocket. He thought he needed to buy a snack rack for the house so that he could push it wherever Lu Sui went to eat.

When they left, Shen Qinghuai turned off the air conditioner, took Lu Sui downstairs to the garage, picked out a black G-Class, and took Lu Sui home.

hospital.

Liu Qiushui tidied herself up and sat up. When Xu Suya returned, she had already made the bed. "Qiushui, what are you doing?"

"My son just said he's coming back. The sun is still very strong, so I'm taking the blankets out to air them again. Luckily, I aired them out the day before yesterday, otherwise they would have a musty smell."

Liu Qiushui pulled Xu Suya out of the ward to settle the bill, then rode her tricycle home. They took out the quilts to air them out, stood in the yard for a while, then went to push the tricycle again, saying they were going to buy groceries, all in a hurry.

Xu Suya said, "Doesn't your noodle shop have vegetables and meat? Why don't you just take him there for dinner? It's too much trouble to go back and forth."

Liu Qiushui clapped her hands. "Look at me, I don't even have any ideas now!"

Xu Suya said with a smile, "The doctor told you to rest more. Don't run around. If you get sick from overworking yourself, you'll only suffer."

Liu Qiushui nodded, poured two glasses of water, gave one to Xu Suya, and before she had even taken a couple of sips herself, she stood up and started sweeping the yard, feeling excited and overjoyed.

Shen Qinghuai took the highway the whole way and arrived home around 7 p.m. He pinched Lu Sui's cheek and waited for Lu Sui to open his eyes before getting out of the car.

Liu Qiushui was dozing in the living room when she heard a car. She peeked out the window and saw a car parked at the door. She quickly went outside and asked, "Is that Qinghuai?"

"It's me, Mom. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I just made a few dishes at the noodle shop, they're all keeping warm in the pot... Oh, what's this...?"

"Friend." Shen Qinghuai opened the car door and let Lu Sui out. "Be careful."

Looking at Lu Sui's long hair, Liu Qiushui initially thought she was a girl, or that Shen Qinghuai had brought his girlfriend back. But upon seeing her height, she hesitated and said, "Hello."

"Um."

Male?

Liu Qiushui rubbed her hands together. "Look, you didn't even mention bringing any friends back."

"It's nothing." Shen Qinghuai opened the trunk and took the things out. Liu Qiushui saw them and patted him on the shoulder, "You're just going home, why did you bring all this stuff? It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Shen Qinghuai said, "Lu Sui bought it."

Liu Qiushui whispered, "His name is Lu Sui? Then I... I'll call him Xiao Lu. Is this car his?"

"Um."

"Why are you driving? What if you scratch or bump it—"

"It's okay, I'm a good driver, there won't be any scratches, go on in."

"well."

After carrying the things to the main room, Liu Qiushui went to pour water for Lu Sui, but Lu Sui frowned slightly and did not take it.

Shen Qinghuai stepped forward, removed Lu Sui's mask, took out Lu Sui's cup from his bag, and handed it to him, who then drank from it.

Liu Qiushui finally got a good look at Lu Sui and exclaimed, "Wow... how can he be so handsome?"

She put down her cup somewhat hastily and said that the food was at the noodle shop and she would go get it to go back right away.

Shen Qinghuai said no need, we can just eat at a noodle shop.

Liu Qiushui nodded and went to get a broom to sweep the back of the tricycle. Shen Qinghuai took it and said it wasn't far and they could just walk there.

The three walked to the noodle shop, Lu Sui and Shen Qinghuai side by side. "Why didn't you drive?"

"It'll be crowded later, and it won't be easy to turn around. Aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold."

Shen Qinghuai touched Lu Sui's hand, feeling its warmth, and hummed in agreement.

Upon arriving at the noodle shop, Liu Qiushui hung up a sign indicating that it was temporarily closed. Inside the noodle shop, Lu Sui frowned; he didn't like the taste of the food.

Shen Qinghuai took a wet wipe to wipe Lu Sui's stool and went to find a rag to wipe the table. Liu Qiushui saw this and went to take out the newly bought table mat to put on the table. She originally planned to put this on the table at home.

The food was reheated, and Liu Qiushui picked it up, took a few steps, turned back, got another plate, separated some food, placed it in front of Lu Sui, and gave him disposable chopsticks. "Little Lu, don't mind it."

"Hmm." She didn't mind the food, but she did mind the environment.

Shen Qinghuai brought out sweet potato porridge and unpacked disposable chopsticks for Lu Sui. Liu Qiushui secretly watched Lu Sui from the kitchen and saw that his every move was like a painting. She said, "My goodness, how can he be so handsome?"

"I smell." Lu Sui turned his head to look at Shen Qinghuai.

Shen Qinghuai understood what he meant. "I'm sorry, we'll eat at home next time. I brought your clothes with me, so you can change when you get home and I'll wash them for you."

"it is good."

Shen Qinghuai looked up and saw Liu Qiushui suddenly hide. "...Mom, come and eat quickly."

The food tasted similar to what Shen Qinghuai had made, but the table was very quiet. After the meal, Shen Qinghuai went to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Liu Qiushui wanted to clean the table and floor again, but she couldn't ignore Lu Sui by not saying anything. After all, he was a guest, and if it weren't for Lu Sui, her son wouldn't get home until late at night.

"Xiao Lu, do you and Qing Huai go to the same school?"

"Um."

"What did you study?"

"art."

Seeing that his gaze swept past her to look at Shen Qinghuai, Liu Qiushui moved to sit down next to him. "Studying art is great. I envy those who can paint."

The atmosphere fell silent again. Liu Qiushui wanted to find something to talk about, and when she saw Lu Sui pick up her phone, she also picked up her phone and sent a message to Xu Suya.

Liu Qiushui from Liu Family Noodle Shop: Suya, do you know what kids my son's age like to eat?

Xu Suya: Qinghuai brought his friends back?

Liu Qiushui from Liu Family Noodle Shop: Hmm, this child has long hair, dyed red, so beautiful, with an ethereal aura!

Xu Suya: That's called art.

Liu Qiushui from Liu Family Noodle Shop: Yes, yes, yes, that's the artistic vibe. He doesn't like to talk, he's too introverted, but he's very well-behaved. He answers every question I ask. I'm speechless now, can you help me think of something?

Xu Suya: I don't know what you can say to him. Why don't you go to the supermarket and buy him some potato chips?

Liu Qiushui from Liu Family Noodle Shop: Okay, I'll go buy it right away.

"Xiao Lu, Auntie has something to do and needs to go out for a bit. You and Qinghuai will be here in a little while—"

"The doctor said you're overworked and should just stay home," Lu Sui said calmly.

"Ah, ah?" Liu Qiushui rubbed her knees with her palms, smiling shyly, "I'm fine."

"Whatever." Lu Sui didn't care.

Liu Qiushui was both embarrassed and not embarrassed by the tone. Finally, Shen Qinghuai came over and tucked Lu Sui's stray hairs behind her ear. "Would you like to go for a walk outside?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiushui took out a hundred yuan from her pocket and then pulled out a handful of loose change. She picked through the looser and cleaner bills and handed them to Lu Sui. "There's a supermarket nearby. Have Qinghuai show you around and buy some good food. There are also food stalls up ahead selling all kinds of fried skewers."

Lu Sui wanted to say that he was rich, and Liu Qiushui was so poor that she should spend her own money instead of being hypocritical. The car wasn't scratched, and even if it was, he wouldn't make Shen Qinghuai pay for it. But Liu Qiushui's eyes didn't show any fake smile.

Shen Qinghuai took it, "Thank you, Mom."

He tugged at Lu Sui's sleeve, signaling him to thank him as well.

Lu Sui looked up at Shen Qinghuai, then at Liu Qiushui, turned her head away, and said awkwardly, "Thank you, Mom."

"..."

"..."

I feel even more uncomfortable now, damn it.
