Quick travel: The poor little thing in the period novel strikes back

As soon as he entered the room, Fu Jin let go of the hand that was holding the little girl by the back of her collar, and watched her shrinking into the corner with a confused expression on her face, which he found funny in his heart.

"The flowers and the birds, take them away."

Fu Jin waved at the parrot that was chirping on the window frame, and the little parrot jumped onto Fu Jin's shoulder very skillfully.

Shi Yan only picked up the clay flowerpot with branches and leaves growing on the table next to her, and completely ignored the parrot.

Through the flowerpot, Shi Yan input plant-related supernatural powers into the branches and leaves in her hand. After making sure that the potted plant had regained its vitality, she moved carefully towards the door.

She got closer to the door step by step, but Fu Jin was much faster than her. He strode forward and trapped Shi Yan between him and the door. Shi Yan had no choice but to move the flower pot forward to increase the distance between them.

"What are you running for?"

Shi Yan shook her head to indicate no.

"Did I let you go?"

Shi Yan shook her head.

"You don't want to stay with me?"

Shi Yan shook her head again.

Fu Jin looked at the little girl who was leaning against the door and shaking her head in a wronged manner and found it very interesting. He reached out and rubbed Shi Yan's head.

Shi Yan only felt a heaviness on her head. She looked at the person in front of her with his mouth curled up, and felt the hand above her rubbing her head, then gradually sliding down across her cheek, and then grabbing her chin. A handsome face was getting closer and closer to her.

A hot current rushed straight to the top of his head. As Fu Jin's face got closer and closer, Zhuang Xia felt like his whole body was about to burn.

Is this going to kiss her?

This was the only possibility Shi Yan could think of at the moment.

Because she was too nervous, she could feel her heart beating loudly in her chest, as if it was going to jump out at the next second.

"You...you...what do you want to do?"

The female voice was slightly hoarse, but the shyness in her tone could not be hidden.

Fu Jin, who originally just wanted to tease the little girl, came to his senses because of the sudden voice. He loosened his hand that was pinching the little girl's chin and wanted to stop there.

But looking at the little girl's slightly open mouth and flushed cheeks, he stopped taking his hand back and rubbed his thumb over the rosy lips of the person in front of him again and again.

"What do you think I want to do?"

"Dong dong dong..."

As soon as Fu Jin finished speaking, Shi Yan felt someone knocking on the door behind her, followed by Fu Sheng's voice:

"Xiaohua, big brother, it's time to have dinner."

Because of Fu Sheng's arrival, Fu Jin really withdrew his hand this time, pulled Shi Yan towards him, leaving space for the door, and then opened the study door.

Fu Sheng, whose expression did not reveal his emotions, stood outside the door. He seemed not to have expected Fu Jin to open the door so quickly, and subconsciously took a small step back.

"Brother, it's time for dinner."

"Ah."

After getting the response, Fu Sheng did not leave, but looked behind Fu Jin, but did not see the figure he wanted to see.

"Brother, where's Xiaohua? Did she make you angry?"

"No, we'll be down right away."

Fu Sheng saw that his elder brother had a relaxed brow and demeanor, and he didn't look like he was angry, so he said nothing more and turned around to go downstairs.

"Come on, take your stuff back to your room and we'll go down."

Shi Yan didn't know whether Fu Jin had forgotten or just let it go, and she didn't mention the parrot again. She put the flowerpot back into the house, and the two of them went downstairs one after the other.

"Xiaohua, school must be very hard. You look thinner. Come and have some soup to replenish yourself. Xiaoze, too. Just treat this as your own home. Eat and drink as you please. Don't be polite."

Mother Fu was very caring and immediately scooped a bowl of soup for Shi Yan.

Shi Yan couldn't speak, so she could only nod, take the bowl of soup, and drink the soup in big gulps.

When Zhuang Ze was mentioned by Fu's mother, he quickly scooped up a bowl of soup and took a big sip: "The soup stewed at my aunt's house is still the best. I have been craving it for a long time. This time I finally found a chance to come and have a free meal."

"Okay, okay, come and eat if you're hungry. You and Sheng'er grew up together, and Auntie treats you like half a son."

"That's great, Auntie. I will definitely come here often in the future."

"........."

Fu's mother and Zhuang Ze chatted about the interesting things that happened when Fu Sheng and Zhuang Ze were young. Fu Sheng would occasionally join in the conversation, and the other members of the Fu family would listen with smiles on their faces.

There was a table full of delicious dishes, but Shi Yan was the only one enjoying them attentively. She could not join in the happy atmosphere, even though Fu Sheng brought her home and said he treated her as his own sister, and Fu's mother also said he treated her as a family member.

But in the final analysis, for the Fu family, the best care they could give to a daughter who appeared out of nowhere was not to reject her. As for treating her as a family member, that was simply a fantasy.

Thinking of this, Shi Yan didn't want to live in the Fu family anymore.

A piece of vegetables was picked up by chopsticks and put into the bowl in front of her, followed by Fu Jin's voice.

"If you like to eat, eat more, don't be in a daze."

Fu Jin had eaten together several times before, and he had long discovered that the little girl liked fruits and vegetables more than meat. Now, seeing her stop eating with her chopsticks and lower her head with no emotion visible, he quickly picked up some food for the little girl.

Shi Yan nodded and continued eating obediently.

After dinner, Zhuang Ze had no plans to leave, but Fu's mother was in a talkative mood at the moment and kept chatting with Zhuang Ze, leaving him no chance to talk to Shi Yan.

Finally, the Fu family gathered together for a rare occasion, and Shi Yan could only signal to Fu Jin who was sitting next to her, and then returned to her room alone.

After Shi Yan returned to the room, the first thing she did was to wash up. Halfway through her wash, she heard someone knocking on the door. She hurriedly washed off the foam on her body, wiped off the water droplets, changed into clean clothes, and left the bathroom.

Shi Yan originally thought that it was Fu Jin who came to see her, but when she opened the door, she found Fu Sheng standing at the door.

"Xiaohua." Fu Sheng looked at the dripping hair of the person in front of him and frowned in disapproval.

"Why are you still so incapable of taking care of yourself? It's still cold at night, don't catch a cold."

Shi Yan (sign language): I was just about to dry my hair. Why are you coming here at this time? Is there anything wrong?

"No, I saw that you came up alone. Are you not used to the atmosphere just now? Does it make you uncomfortable? I will be more careful next time."

"You've been living in school before, so we don't have many opportunities to meet. Tomorrow is a day off, how about I take you out for a walk?"

Shi Yan waved her hand. She was not very interested in going out.

To be honest, since coming to the capital, Fu Sheng has had all kinds of social engagements. Plus, since they are not in the same profession, they don't have many opportunities to meet, so their relationship has naturally become a lot more distant.

"Okay, then remember to dry your hair before taking a rest. Don't be lazy."

Fu Sheng felt bad as he watched the door in front of him slowly close.

In the past in the countryside, Xiaohua relied on him wholeheartedly and listened to him in everything. But since returning to the city, their relationship has become increasingly distant. It seems that even her elder brother, who had a somewhat cold face, has become close to Xiaohua without her knowledge.
